Thanksgiving at the Reeves

I received an email on Jeanne's dogs. Jeanne is our Richmond rep, a great foster home, and my "right hand man" in helping keep the rescue work organized. She also does the web site, along with Larry, her friend and helper. Jeanne has done rescue work for over thirty years and has been an invaluable helper to our rescue group.
Jill Lee and DiDi (in the bed) were waiting for Thanksgiving dinner in hopes of turkey landing in their bowls!

Amy was watching her foster mom-- "Is turkey coming soon?'

Cindy was just thinking, "I wish I had some turkey." Oh, dear, she looks sad. Give her some turkey, Jeanne!

She's trying to be as cute as she knows how-- rolling around in the bed. Dogs will do anything to get some turkey!

Hanna is thinking about it, but now Cindy is now just sleeping. Begging for turkey is hard work.

Did YOUR dogs get turkey for Thanksgiving!?

A Dog Named Christmas

Warning: I've posted this before, but want to do it again. I've heard of many serious side effects from Confortis-- the flea medication/pill. One comment on the pill said, "I will never use this drug again. My 7 year old Chihuahua almost died from it. He started foaming at the mouth, went into a seizure like state, stiff as a board. I thought he was dead. It took a good 10 minutes before he could try and sit up. The Vet did bloodwork on him but refused to allow me to pay for the visit. He expects the drug company to pick up the bill. It was a horrible experience, one I will not revisit. Beware people." One of my adopters gave her dog Chancey the Confortis pill and her dog seems to have lost his vision and hearing. Please do not use this pill.

There is a movie on tonight called A Dog Named Christmas. I read the book and loved it. There is also a Petfinder.com campaign to give dogs homes for Christmas. You can read about it on the web link below. I am not sure this is a plan that works for everyone, if it gives some dogs a new, loving home, I'm all for it.

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THE MOVIE! (Melinda, I'm sorry if you can't get this in Australia!)

DOGS AND HEAVEN

I have seen this many times-- I googled it and it's not true, someone made this all up, but it's still funny. Hope it gives you a grin!

Pandy

I had to share a blog that my daughter put on HER blog. She adopted Pandy from me six years ago. Pandy is now ten or eleven years old. She somehow got into some poison ivy. I have no idea how since my daughter walks her. Pandy had to go on prednisone because it was so bad and because of this, she gained some weight. Here's what my daughter wrote. :-)

I'm a bad mom.
Pandy, has apparently gained 3 pounds,
Which is about 18% of her body weight.
Poor girl.
She's on a diet.
I wonder if that is why she's had such horrific gas lately?
It will seriously clear you out of a room.
Her gas is the SBD kind (silent, but deadly).
I don't like to call Pandy "fat" because I think that is an ugly word.
She is "pretty plus "...
Hopefully she doesn't get too pretty
or else her legs won't be able to support her.

Poor Pandy--

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope all of you have a blessed Thanksgiving! We have "killer Pekingese" on duty here to guard our turkey! Scooterbug,Cranberry, Max, Starlight, Missy, Anna and BB. HMMM, maybe they just WANT the turkey!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Stitch

Check out Stitch. He just came into rescue.
He is only a year old and a big puppy! All 17.5 pounds of him.

He has a very short hair cut, but his coat should be beautiful when it grows in.

He's all ready to go to his new foster home and be a buddy to Clarence.

He is a very sweet Peke, houestrained and loving. His family turned him into a shelter because they could no longer afford to take care of him.

But, we'll take care of him! How could we not take care of this sweet thing. :-)

Are you the home for him?

CHARLIE ADOPTED
Charlie was on the blog before-- he was in a shelter in Maryland after his owners moved out of the house and left him there. Neighbors let animal control know so Charlie could get out of the house.

Paige, one of our Maryland reps, fostered Charlie and said he was the sweetest boy! He loved to go for runs on a leash even though he didn't see well. He loves belly rubs and playing with his stuffed toy.

Paige did a home check and took Charlie along. The couple fell in love with him and adopted him!

Now Charlie-- and his toy-- is in his new home. Another happy ending!
