CHESTNUT—WELCOME TO RESCUE

This one and a half year old boy came to us from a small shelter in Maryland.  We named him Chestnut because it’s the holidays.  🎶🎵🎼Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…🎼🎵🎶

Chestnut has been through a lot for such a young dog.  We will update him physically and give him time to decompress. 

A friend is taking care of him for us and he loves the porch and just resting.  

Chestnut will go to his foster home on Sunday and will have a quiet Christmas.  He is safe now and we will let him rest.  Merry Christmas sweet Chestnut. 🎄🎄
 

CHRISTMAS IS CLOSE

Allie Marie, Taz and Oshie are ready for Christmas this year. 

Maggie had her Christmas groom and her Christmas bow is adorable. . 

Yogi, PVPC foster, is ready!! He had come so far.  He’s a happy playful boy now.  He’s ready for adoption.

Dallas and Lex sent me their Christmas card. 🎄

Hunter wants to play Santa.  The suit fits him perfectly. 

Polo shows a picture of him and Santa a few years ago. 

Hannah was a puppy I fostered. I love the Christmas frame. 

I wanted a picture of the tree. Hunter thought he was the better view.  If you want your Christmas picture shared in a blog, post it below and include your dog’s name. 

I want to spread the joy. 🎄🎄

CINNAMON AND HUNTER VISIT THE OPHTHALMOLOGIST

Hunter dressed up as Santa to see the ophthalmologist.  

I thought "maybe it will make him brave."  Nope.   

He's very adventurous at home-- but not out of his safe space.   He's a puppy.  That will improve  

When he's not being the Pesky Puppy, he enjoys one of the dog beds near me.  

I noticed he had some goopy eyes, but I was cleaning them.  The hair around his eyes was sparse.  So, I wanted to make sure all was well.   We are starting him on some drops and I'll message the vet after the New Year to give her an update.  I don't have to go in unless it's not better.

Cinnamon was just there for her yearly checkup.   Her eyes seem healthy.  But her vision in her right eye is almost not there.   Her left eye has a lot of scarring, too.  But, she has enough vision for shapes.  I take a big flashlight out for her when we are outside in the dark.

The ophthalmologist we saw was the same Cinnamon has always seen, but now she's in an old "plantation style home" that was turned into a vet.  

Each room has a special name.  

The front hall is beautiful.   Very relaxing there. 

After the visit, special outfits off (since it's a warm day) and time for a rest.  Their adventure wore them out.  
 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAULEE

Paulee came into rescue in March 2023 

after his owner died. 

He was beautiful - inside and out. 

It didn’t take long for him to be adopted. He went to the most awesome family. 

Happy birthday Paulee! 🎂🎂
 

MAGOO-MERRY CHRISTMAS!

🎄🎄🎄

Magoo lives in Italy.  He was one of the Potomac 6, rescued in NC.  

He was sick earlier this year, but he’s doing great now. 

He gets to go so many places w his mom and dad. 

I hope his mom posts more Christmas pictures of him.  I’m sure they will be on some new adventures.  There may be more places he needs to visit. 

I think he’s making plans.  Merry Christmas Magoo! 
 

CHU CHU GETS A FRIEND

Chu Chu was one of the Maryland 5 from the early fall of '23.  

After he came to us, he was at my house awhile.  He had personality.  (Maybe he wanted table service.)

In the shelter he was not sure what was going on.   

He was in the same area as Toasty.  Toasty is now my grand dog.  Chu Chu loved having a playmate.  

He met his new sister last week.  Princess (aka November Princess) arrived to be his new friend.

At first, he was a little timid.   That's okay-- all these strange people showing up with Princess.  He did recognize Lisa who had fostered him.

"Who is that?"

Chu Chu (aka Chewy) and Princess are already friends.    They are playing!  He's more active and so happy he has a best friend.   I'm thrilled for him!   😊


 

BERKELEY-READY?

Berkeley has had all his medical done and is ready for a new home. He’s a young Peke-a-Chi we think. 

He has on his new Christmas sweater and he’s warm.  It’s in the 40s but w the wind blowing, it feels colder.  (Lady Jicky in Australia said it’s over 100 there. 😳)

Don’t worry Berkeley.  It’s not that hot here.  You’re warm and cozy. 🎄🥰
