> Hi Darla,
> Tom and I want to thank you for how you made the purchase of our Family Addition so easy and enjoyable.  From the moment we picked "Beaner" out from your website, til the time he reached 6 weeks old and we were able to pick him up.  For sending us pictures, showing us how he was growing, while we were waiting for him til the time we met you in South Dakota to pick him up. You made the transition so enjoyable.  Everyday we look at him and realize how fortunate we are to have this little character as part of our family. Our questions to you is, We think someone replaced him with a much larger cat.  He has gotten so big in such a short time.  He has become such an important part of our family.  The grandkids, Kids, and Us thank you so much for everything you did to make this such a great experiance.  Tom, Patty & "Beaner"

Hey Darla~
Just writing to thank you for the wonderful experience of purchasing one of your kittens.  Everyone that meets our Mazey comment on what a beautiful kitten we have. From her personality, we can tell that she has been raised with the utmost care and love.  She is an exciting addition to our household.  We also want to thank you for being so flexible when we gave you such short notice of our trip to Hill City.  We are eager to see new litters on your websites because I am sure we will be back some day!  Thanks again!  Steve and Sarah

Hi Darla.
Just thought I'd let you know that things are going great with Lilly.  Dale has also adjusted well living with Patrick and his other Maine Coon named Sean.  I see that you requested a few words for a testimonial, which I'd be happy to provide.  You can use any or all of the following paragraph.  I'll write it as if I'm writing directly to you.  I hope it's okay.
 
Darla, thanks for all your excellent help in our purchase of Lilly and Dale.  I'm especially grateful for the extra TLC you provided by responding to all my follow-up questions and concerns.  You really bent over backwards to make things work out as well as possible!  We are all enjoying our new Maine Coons, and I've passed your name onto a couple of other "Maine Coon potentials"!  You're an excellent breeder, in my estimation.  Thanks, Jan George

Hi Darla....
 
Well here it is...I hope you can use it!  Feel free to shorten it or move things around.  And by the way - I meant EVERYTHING I wrote.  You have pictures of Aristotle and Thatcher, but if you want more let me know!!!!  I miss you!!!!
 
From the first time I went on MrsPawsMaineCoons web site I was totally impressed.  I sent Darla an email and then called her.  The warmth and love I felt she had for her cats blew me away.  My husband David and I had six cats.  We wanted to add a Maine Coon to our group.  Through four litters we kept picking one than another kitty.  We sent Darla the FULL payment because we wanted our choice!  Darla and I emailed and sometimes spoke on the phone about the Maine Coons.  I loved a female and my husband wanted a male.  When I had the opportunity to meet Darla in Sioux Falls we talked a long time about possibly getting both.  Well call me CRAZY (cat lady that is!!!) but we DID get both.  They are SO beautiful, funny, loving, smart, fantastic, etc.  AND they fit in so well.  Darla told me that you can't describe what type of personality a Maine Coon has.  You just have to be with one.  I am absolutely in love with our kitties - Aristotle and Thatcher.  When the time comes to add another kitty some day...it will be from MrsPawsMaineCoons cattery.  The experience I had with Darla was wonderful.  (We dealt with a breeder nine years ago and she was SO cold.  Nothing like Darla.)  Plus I now have a dear friend in Hills City!

Hi Darla,
Just  want to let you know how much we love our Maine Coon.  I seriously don't think we would own one if it hadn't been for me coming across your website!  I was worried about dealing with a "snobby breeder" but that was not the case!  I appreciate the fact that you were so patient with all my questions and concerns.  Also, you made my choice picking out a baby so much easier by sending me lot's of pictures every week.  There is no doubt when the time comes I will  "bugging" you again for another kitten!

Thanks so much!!
Sue Holtey

Hi Darla,
Glad to help out with your request.� �I am also enclosing a few new pictures for you.
We purchased two male kittens from Darla about a year ago, when her cattery was just getting started.� Our pervious cat of 17 years had just been put to sleep and we were very depressed over it because we had lost a member of our family.� Sue began looking at web sites and discovered the Mrs. Paws web site.� She dropped a note to Darla about how hard it was for us to lose our cat.� Darla responded right away with lots of sympathy and encouraged us to get another kitten as soon as possible, even if we did not buy one of her kittens.� That pushed us to make a decision and we are so happy now that we did.� These two kittens have filled a big void.
We enjoyed our trip up to the Black Hills and the chance to get to know Darla.� She delights in taking care of her kittens and gives them lots of personal attention.� We have been delighted with the boys and we have so much fun with them.� They were socialized very well when we picked them up. � �Darla was thrilled that we wanted to get the two brothers because they seemed to be especially close playmates as kittens and now they would not have to be separated.� Buying kittens from Darla is like becoming part of an extended family.� We keep� in touch and she always enjoys knowing what the two boys have been up to lately.

Wayne and Sue Smith

Hello Dar
> Here are two pictures of our baby with fur Tehya and a letter to put on your site.
> To anyone wanting to purchase a beautiful baby with fur (Mainecoon) that is healthy and well cared for I would recommend that you continue looking at this website because you will not be able to find a more loving and caring person that will keep you up dated on the birth and every little detail until the day you get to bring your baby with fur home. Dar went above and beyond for me she sent e-mails and pictures but being visually impaired I had trouble seeing the pictures so Dar took the time to describe Tehya and what she was doing and also kept me informed on her growth, litter box use, and much more. We love our Tehya so much she will be a year old Oct. 14,2007. JoMarie
