Allison Sampson:

  With the exception of one Golden Retreiver mixed breed rescue, I have had Golden Retriever dogs for nearly 30 years. When I met Sanae Suzuki and her dogs, in her environment, I knew my view of life had changed. Sanae is not your normal breeder -- she is an extraordinary person attuned with people, her environment and dogs.

  As with infants, the first year of life is critical. Sanae’s puppies receive the finest in care and prospective owners are INVITED to be there to enjoy their new puppy as much as they want. What breeder offers this inside view? There are no cages and the puppies and mothers are very quiet, happy, and living a natural life together inside of a loving home and a sun filled garden. As a result of this loving and natural environment and breeding sparingly, Sanae’s dogs are also loving, calm, healthy, manageable sizes and beautiful. None of them are obsessive in any way as we know our beloved Goldens can be with high energy, barking or with the ball. They are simply lovely dogs and companions.

  I am now converted to the natural way of living for my dog. I enjoy giving her organic raw meat, carrots, kale, fresh kibble, brown rice, and vitamins every day. She is so healthy, doesn’t shed much, and so strikingly beautiful that people stop us in parks and on the street. I wonder what I was thinking raising all of my dogs with canned and dried food? would I eat that way? NO!

  Sanae is a teacher to many. I am glad I found her and continue to learn. I remember when I left Sanae’s home after meeting her and her dogs, and deciding to heal my broken heart by committing to another puppy…Sanae gave me a hug and said “You’re not only getting a new dog in your life, but a whole new family.” And I really do feel that way!

  My experience from taking cooking lecture/lessons on Macrobiotic from Eric and Sanae has been great. My husband is slightly diabetic and I was getting really tired everyday just being the middle age. Sanae told me that Macrobiotic could help us to eat right and feel good about ourselves afterwards. Boy, she was so right! Every time I went to her class & ate what we learned for that day, I tried to cook the same way for my family when I got home. I started to feel better as the days have gone by.

  We are definitely more conscious of what we eat now. My teenage daughter was so impressed with Sanae that she wrote about her life as her “amazing person” in her English class at school and her article was picked as one of the best articles. I am sure that her teacher was impressed with the content of the article. It is also known that some celebrity like Madonna endorses their way of eating/living. No wonder.

  We also got our beloved Golden Retriever “Shaka” from Sanae & Eric. He is so good. He is very calm in his nature and eats organic food just like us! The whole experience has been about how to live happier life for our family!

  I just received your first book: "Love, Eric" and am absolutely blown away. I LOVE IT!! It is so well done and easy to follow and most of all you can tell it was a complete labor of love to create. What come from the heart, enters the heart, right?
  Anyway, I'm new to all of this but would love to take some of your classes/lectures to learn more.

  Thank you again for the book and God bless.
  Warmest regards,

Mukta and Giovanni Zocchi:

  Chumu bounced into our lives like a happy, playful gust of spring air. Intelligent and bodacious, this Santa Monica dog-gal is the only blonde of our family. Despite being mischievous, she is remarkably quiet and barks only when she wants to alert us. And when we take her for longer walks in the weekends, when passers-by lavish compliments on her and when UCLA students stop us and ask us if they could pet her, our pride reaches dizzying heights. Do not think we are lonely - we do have a teenaged boy and a pre-teen girl (translation: our hands are plenty full and minds perpetually frustrated) but the truth is it is Chumu’s good breeding that makes her such a great golden. For this we have only Sanae Suzuki to thank. We appreciate her sensible style of breeding these golden beauties – she breeds these puppies for her love for them and for no other reason. We were impressed with the effort Sanae has put in developing a dietary regime for her puppies. At a time when many of us are beginning to realize the importance of eating and living ‘right’, it makes perfect sense to do likewise with the pets in the family. Sanae’s recipes provide us with welcome guidelines for Chumu’s meals. We were lucky running into Sanae with her wholesome style when we were looking for adopting a puppy. She embraces all her ‘grandchildren’s’ owners into her ‘extended golden family’, encourages them to keep in touch and is always there with tips, advice and help when they are needed. Thanks a lot, Sanae, for our beautiful puppy.

  First of all, I wanted to tell you that last night's class --Macrobiotic Dessert Cooking Class for Summer-- was absolutely FABULOUS! I am having dinner guests next week, and they're going to have great desserts! PLEASE let me know when your next cooking class is.

  I had a dinner party a few weeks ago with 4 other couples. I made tempeh crab cakes, sauteed pea sprouts, and brown rice and barley. One of the men
told his wife that he knows when he goes to Joan's house, that she feeds them "bird seed." After dinner, everyone complimented me on the great meal. And, the man who made the bird seed comment asked his wife to get the recipe for the tempeh crab cakes!

  Another time, I had some people over for dessert. I made Eric's cheesecake. Everyone said, "We thought that you didn't use dairy." When I told them that
there was no dairy in it, they couldn't believe it. They said that it was the best cheesecake that they had ever eaten!

  Looking forward to seeing you soon.
