GRANGER DANGER

Granger came into rescue in April 2016.  

He was thin, his coat was very short.  Now his coat is thick and long.   

He likes being in things. A back pack will do. 

He has a big love of cardboard boxes.  That’s his favorite. 

No box is safe around him. 

He looks like this is a good place to contemplate life. 

Or take a nap. 

He can have the funniest faces. 

Glamor face. 😍

His girl likes to liven up his look.   The orange look from last October still has some orange tips. 🎃😂

His original name was Digger.  He doesn’t do that much anymore, but he can have fun in the yard. 😁

He takes occasional breaks to read. 📚

How can you read that way. 

No box or paper bags?  Tell your mom she’s slacking. 😂

(His mom is my daughter so I’m allowed to tease her😏.)

ARE YOU LOST DICKENS?

Dickens wasn’t sure what a yard was when he first came to rescue.   He would go back to the steps and not do anything. 

He’s been getting better going around the yard a little more.   I do have to carry him out into the yard.   Yesterday, he decided to explore.  Remember he can’t see much.  So instead of going to a grass area, he went down what he thought was a path.  It wasn’t.  He was stuck behind ivy and bushes.   He stopped and wasn’t sure what to do.   I was right there so I talked and helped him come back.  Then, I gave him a ride to the house.  

It was exhausting so he curled up w Cinnamon and used her back for a pillow.   Happy boy. 😍
 

TOASTY AND TUK TUK AND HEAT

Toasty says “What’s with the heat?!”

He rolled over on the vent.  Albino dogs can be more sensitive to high temperatures as well as sunlight.  

Toasty’s family is aware of how careful they have to be w him.  His girl and Toasty decided that a cool nap was great when temperatures were close to 100. 

Tuk Tuk, on the other hand, felt he MUST go outside. His family said, “He slides down the door like he is actually dying if he isn’t let out fast enough”😂

And when the door is opened, he plays there, letting the heat inside. 🙄

Toasty thinks his brother Tuk Tuk is nuts.  “Close the door!”  

 He hopes the temperature cools down soon!  Me too!! 🥵🥵

RUN FREE HENNI

I’m not really doing farewells anymore.  But almost three years ago, this little girl came to my house.  We named her Henrietta Hope.  

The shelter said she was 8 years old, and said she had a broken leg.  She arrived and was incredibly sweet.  She went to the ophthalmologist and she said Henni was 14.  Big difference. That was fine.  She was safe.  Henni also had X-rays. Her leg wasn’t broken. She was born that way.  We decided she could stay in rescue.  After a few weeks w me, she went to Claretta’s to live the rest of her life. 

She was so happy there.  She even went on a beach trip.  

Her leg did give her problems as she got older, but she was a little champion.  In the last few weeks, her leg began to fail and she could no longer have the support she needed.  She was almost 17. A long life with the last three years of joy and love. 

Henni was one of those Pekes who went deep into the hearts of those who loved her. Even though she was only with me a short time, she was extra special.  So I wanted to tell everyone how precious she was.  I’m so glad she was brought to our rescue.   (All the fosters are special but some just touch us in a deeper way.). 

Run free now Henrietta Hope.  So many loved you. 💖
 

NOELLE “NONO”

Noelle aka Nono came in the first group of the Christmas rescue.  December 23 was a very busy day. 

Nono was the most anxious of the group.  But her foster/adoptive parents didn’t give up on her. 

With them, she feels safe and loved.  They said they didn’t feel she could go through another change and she had come to trust them. 

The couch is her giant play, jump, leap area. And having a toy makes it better. 

This is her as she paused between running and turning. A little tired? 

At night, she is done.  She has had her dinner, gone outside, played, napped.  All in the life of Nono the rescued and adored Peke.  She’s out for the night. 😴

 

IT’S SO HOT!

Kringle is staying inside.  We’ve had record high temps. It was over 100 w the heat index. 

Jingle has the right idea.  Lay on the vent. 🥶

Charlie lives in a big apartment.  The air conditioning went out.  His mom had to take him to the vet to stay awhile so he could breathe better. 

Holly was perfectly content to stay inside. 

Winter says that trips outside will be very quick.  

Jack agrees.  It’s way too hot for flat faced dogs.  And people too!  Flat faced dogs can go into severe heat reaction sooner than other dogs. 

Snickerdoodle decided the same.  Stay inside! 

I carried Dickens out and we stayed in the shade.  It was quick.  It will be hot all week. Keep everyone safe and stay inside.  
 

SNICKERDOODLE AND JELLYBEAN VISIT DENVER’S

D 

Jelly- Jellybean and Snickers-Snickerdoodle have met Denver, a PVPC alumni.  

Denver is such a precious boy.  He’s so sweet. 

Denver said they could stay at his house awhile.  Their foster mom is getting ready to move.  It’s not far but it’s easier w less dogs.  (They already feel right at home.)

So the girls will be w Denver and his family until they are adopted. Snickers thinks that will be fun.  She does have a  long tongue. 😍

It looks like they are in jail. 😂. But they just have a separate eating area.  Then they join the rest. 

These two are very bonded so we want them to be adopted together.   They are usually laying together or touching. 

Like here.  If you have a heart for two precious girls, let us know.  They are 4-5 years old and as sweet as they can be.   

We adopt in Maryland and Virginia and require vet and home checks.
