2026 CALENDAR - HOW TO ORDER

It's that time of year.   We are putting in our calendar order for 2026.  

The 2024 Christmas rescues will be a focus for this one.  It was the largest rescue we have ever done, and so many sweet Pekes were helped.   Other Pekes will also be pictured.  

As I was writing this blog, I went back and looked at previous calendar covers.  Here's 2012.  

2014 

2016 

2017

2020-- All of us remember the year the world changed.  We were isolated, but we had our dogs to keep us company.     Paddington kept us entertained. 

Of course, some of my favorites were included in past calendars-- like Tuk Tuk as a baby.

Piper and Paddington after we adopted them.

Starlight, one of our all time favorites-- the mascot for PVPC at that time.   Who would you say is the mascot now?

2025-- Toasty!

This month's photo is Yum Yum-- my good friend Melinda's Peke.  You all know her as Lady Jicky from her comments on the blogs.  I look forward to those every day.

CRAZY CAMP RUNAMUCK

CAMP RUNAMUCK

Dickens was helping me in the guest room.   Maybe he was afraid it was chaos downstairs.  

Granger said, "I'm not chaos!"  That's true.   He just sweet.  Naps are his thing.

Toasty is still recovering from his back injury.  I am continuing his red-light therapy.  Dickens still gets it too.   Toasty would love to be chaotic, but we limit him.  He needs to heal.

Tuk Tuk would love chaos-- he can't play with Toasty right now-- not allowed- but he's tried to get Cinnamon involved.  She was not amused.  LOL

Bedtime can be chaotic.  Just getting them all upstairs.  Several have to be carried.   That means I go up and down, up and down several times.   And I have a little back injury (and am doing red light therapy on myself) so I'm a little slow.   Life's fun.  Everyone chooses their spot.  Granger likes the cool tile in the bathroom.   The shower was worth trying out.

Tuk Tuk checked out the lounger in our room but then got on the bed beside me.  

There he is with Granger on the middle part too.  My tall husband's area is definitely being affected. 

After Granger tried to fit in the flowerpot, I found a box in the attic.  He went right into it.  

Gomez' mom made his box fancy!  He even has a "Peke look out." 🤣

Tuk Tuk had to try it out-- and he began chewing on some of it.  

Toasty is getting sleepy.   I think it's time for a rest.   I might join him.  

They're all spread out around the porch.    Nap breaks are great!! 😴💤
 

AUGGIE—TWO YEARS

Auggie (named August at first because he came in August) came into rescue two years ago this month.  

It didn’t take long for his new mom to fall in love w him.  

He was adopted as soon as he was healthy.  

He has made a great therapy dog for his “grandmother” and he brightens her day. Dogs are amazing comforters. 

Happy two years Auggie from a shelter to rescue to HOME. 😍
 

BOGIE AND SUMMER

Bogie has a beach house and he loves it. On nice days, can go to to the dock w his mom and enjoy the breeze.  In Virginia, we have had HOT weather. It would be too hot to walk on a dock.  But it has been low 80s the last few days.  It’s awesome!! 

He loves looking out the front door.  Rey is often there w him.  They are so cute together!  

They look related. Both beautiful. 

They’ve watched a lot of baseball this summer. Their family is big into baseball.  I bet Bogie could teach me some.  In the meantime, he will just nap, out of the sun and heat.  Great idea you two.  🌞
 

WIGGLEBUTTS ARE HERE

Granger, Tuk Tuk and Toasty are here.  Exploring is first.  

They’ve been here before but new smells must be everywhere. They are roaming all over the yard. P

They like hiding.  I see you Toasty. 

The yard, the porch, inside— so many places to be camouflaged.  

Granger is so chill here. 

Mine are all doing great.  Even Bad Pad. Of course his favorite spot is still w Cinnamon. 

No Granger.  That is not a cardboard box - we don’t have any   😩

Tuk Tuk and his happy grin. 

Cinnamon and Dickens are having a nap on the couch.  It’s going to be a busy happy week.  After all, we ARE Camp Runamuck.  🏕️ (our bed had 5 dogs on it last night!  
 

GIDGET HEARS GOSSIP

Gidget is hearing things. I’m not sure how. A bird must have told her. What did she hear?

She heard that 3 Pekes are coming to my house this weekend.  And she’s right! 

Toasty, Granger, and Tuk Tuk are visiting for a week.  It’s going to be another crazy house!  Piper and SIX Pekingese.  That means Dickens AND Tossty are going to have therapy each day on their back.  Toasty is bigger than Dickens and he likes to turn into a blob of jello if I try to pick him up.  This should be a fun week!   🤪🤪
 

JACK AND HIS TOYS

Jack (of the Christmas group) has a great love for toys. 

One by one, he gathers them. 

What are you thinking Westley?   Aren’t some those your toys too? 

I see the toy on the step.  Whose is it?  

I guess Jack claimed it.  

In fact, I think he claimed them all. 

And he’s going to sleep w them — every single one.    I’m sure he would wake up fast if Westley got close. 😂😂
