Dear President Elect Obama Family;
First, Aloha! I hear from Sue, Henna’s mom (Henna is Echo’s sister and is going to live on the islands along with her other brother, Casey) you are on the islands. I hope you all have a restful holiday as you prepare for the adventure of a lifetime despite the electricity outage. I fear time is running out! Echo is due to go another home in the Netherlands, but earlier I offered her to your family if you wished. I know she will go “where she is meant to be” but I thought I would offer her to your family one more time in a much more public way. I think she was meant to be yours. Why she is meant to be yours?
First, Her official name is Liberty’s Echo of a Graceful Chief. She was named prior to the presidential run and your statement of a puppy for the girls… how perfect is that name for your family pet? Other than having family also on the islands, She is a Multi gen Australian Labradoodle from Kizer’s Grace and Liberty’s Chief. As you know, some say the Labradoodle is a Mutt, but I counter with the most magnificent mutt breed there is. And our puppies continue to prove me right. I 
hope you prove us right as well.
Second, She is great with kids being raised in a home with three children so she is thoroughly socialized and not a “kennel raised” puppy. She has had all her shots and is from great family lines (gold paw lineage), and is very sweet, playful, loving, loyal, and of course intelligent. She does not shed. The girls will love her. She is a quick study. She is trained to use the doggie door. In terms of temperament I doubt she would bite a reporter, unless you would like us to train her to do so. She would probably climb in the lap or lick their face. She might chew up Barbie’s, so tell the girls they will have to keep their room clean (another one of my puppy owner girls, Bailee said I should mention that since it happened to her Barbie).
Third, She is very unusual in her markings, which makes her perfect for our new first family. She is a mismark, the best of two worlds. My other puppy owners think she would be great for your family as well and have offered to write reference letters. She starts basic puppy training next week while we wait for her final testing before leaving us. Her new owners know I offered her to you through a couple of contacts here in Oregon but I have not heard anything from you. I am afraid this is my last attempt as time is running out.
Fourth, We have donated a puppy to operation second chance, a non profit organization that helps injured soldiers and their families at Walter Reed. We proudly support our military and their families that make such great sacrifices. From this, we have found that our puppies have made great therapy pets, including working with shut ins, autistic kids, and those with injuries. We get constant praise on their personality, health, intelligence, and companionship.
Finally, She comes from Liberty. We named our kennel Liberty Labradoodles as Liberty was born Sept. 11th and my son joined the service soon after. As the parents of a twice deployed soldier who through extension and other events has spent three of the last four years in the sand box. Freedom is not free, and your family will have some Liberty taken away on this venture. We offer her as a thank you for your family sacrifices. I know she will bring joy and love when things get tough. Yes, She Can!
We would ask you to not mention us and would keep it to our selves. It would be our honor of you being one of our puppy owners and knowing she would make a wonderful companion for your family. With utmost respect we say, you wanna Doodle? We have one of the greatest waiting for you.
Sincerely;
~Jeff and Vicky (and Echo)
