Leigh & Renee Today I am 1 year old and I want to thank you for helping me become the person, uhm, Golden I am.  Both of you (and Scott) and your staff have provided me with love and nurturing beyond compare. Where else could I have learned to play so well and be so socially correct.  Everywhere I go (including downtown Naperville stores) people are impressed with my skills and calmness - heck they compare me to their Goldens (and other breeds) who are much older.   While watching CNN one day I realized that Trouble (Leona Helmsley's dog)  would give up some of her millions of dollars (I'm not sure what that is but it is a lot of something) just to be here with all of us every day.  I know I would give up some of my millions of something if I had it.
Thank you for making the Crate Escape my home away from home.
Jake (as told to Mommy Rhonda)
PS For my birthday I have asked my Mommy to buy everyone breakfast and lunch.
