GRACIE'S MOM HAS A BIRTHDAY

I hear Jane is having a birthday. Gracie, you forgot to tell me so I am putting up this Happy Birthday blog late. I hope you and your mom have a wonderful birthday!!!

Love, Miss Linda (Beach Bit wishes her a happy birthday also.)

LOLLI-POP AND BEAU-BEAU

Look at this little face. Could you resist this if you were called to a shelter and she needed help?

And her "brother" was there, too. They were found wandering down a street together and we were asked to help.

They were neutered/spayed at the shelter and then I took them to my vet. They were still drugged a bit from anesthesia, so they can had a ride. I love the dog strollers that Gloria gave me. They are GREAT!

Once they came to my house, where they were to be temporarily, I realized they had kennel cough. OH, NO. Well, they had to stay with me for awhile. It makes a FULL house here, but these two are so sweet!

Lolli-pop is a dollbaby and she loves to give kisses and give love.

Beau-Beau is a big boy at almost 19 pounds-- but it's all sugar. Lolli-pop is under 12 pounds, but I'm trying to put some weight on her.



They love to play together, rolling around and kissing each other. It's sad because they have to be separated soon to go to different foster homes. We have four pairs in rescue now, and we can't keep them together. We'd love for them to be adopted together, but the reality is that they won't. If I could keep them, I would. But, I've ended up with several Pekes who weren't adopted, and I just don't have room for more permanent members of our home. I sure wish I did.


These two are precious. They are doing better and the kennel cough is slowly leaving and so far, none of the other dogs have come down with it. I'm so glad.

Scooter, my Peke, loves all the newcomers. He wants to play, too.





For now, Lolli-pop and Beau-Beau are with me and I'm enjoying their company.

If you are interested in adopting these sweet pair, just let us know soon.

CAPTAIN ADOPTED!

Captain has a new home I've "met" his mom through email and I know she's a great Peke mom. I hope Captain blends right in with her pack. I know he's a great dog and very loving.

I think he's ready-- he's looking for which they are driving to his new home. We love you, Captain!

PEACHES IN HER NEW HOME

Peaches was adopted and is living in her new home. She looks very comfortable there.

Yes, she is relaxed!

We have one of those purple bobo's at our house. It's a very popular toy here. She likes to run and play fetch with it. Sometimes, like most dogs, she runs so fast, she can't slow down and will run into something in her mission to get the toy. She also like to "kill" her toy-- shaking it around.

She loves to rest on the couch with her new dad. They were so excited when Peaches joined the family.

These pictures show Peaches sleeping a lot-- Pekes do this so well. I think that's when we realize we can take their pictures!


I'm so glad she loves her new home. She is one sweet girl.

NOT ENOUGH TREES?

Is there a tree shortage? We can't keep cutting down trees or they'll be a line- up to use the ones that are left. :-) I don't see a Peke in the line-- oh wait, they're all out celebrating the Pekingese winning at the Westminster Kennel Club show. :-)

MALACHY-- WESTMINSTER KENNEL CLUB

Malachy won Best in Show at the 2012 Westminster Kennel Club. He is such a beautiful boy! I've received so many emails congratulating our breed. Thank you all! I hope this brings good applications for our foster dogs-- but not people running out to buy a Pekingese puppy who don't know how to take care of (or willing to learn) how to take care of these magnificent little dogs.

Congratulations Malachy!!!

APRIL

This is April. She came out of a shelter in Maryland and is the sweetest little girl. She was all set for Valentine's Day with her little heart outfit on.

She has begun to play with toys and is trying to learn to play with her foster sister, Coco.

April loves attention and being held-- even though it seems that she wasn't used to being held before.

She'll be ready for her forever home soon. It's hard for us foster moms to let go of these sweet ones. I want to thank all my foster moms and dads for all they do-- it makes such a difference, not only for the Pekes, but for the families they go to.
