PEKES WE REMEMBER

I asked you which Peke you remember most from my blogs-- which was a favorite.  Starlight was at the top.  My little girl with button eyes.  I got her in 2008 (it doesn't seem that long ago). Her name had been Star but, on the way to get her, I passed Starlighter Lane.  So, I changed her name to Starlight.  She refused to let anyone touch her except us.  We finally figured out she had chosen us.  I used to sing "Star light, Star bright, first star I see tonight...."  She left us in 2018.    

Zoey came to us from a shelter in N. Virginia.   She was adorable and I knew she would be a fast adoption.  She turned into a hospice Peke because of bone cancer.  I loved to carry her around on my shoulder.  

Zoey again with Missy.   Missy was Bogie's sister.  Both were hospice dogs.   They were so cute!  I've had quite a few-- and I'm glad they can be loved for a long time.   Missy was so loved. 

Many of you remember Nala and BeeBee.  They were bonded sisters when they came.   They had seizures and we kept trying to adjust their medications.  Nala had to have meds at least 5 times a day.  They were the sweetest pair.  They both had IMHA and we fought that fight.   They battled as hard as they could.  

Holly Bell "Oreo" was briefly with me.  But her transporter wanted to keep her and they did. What a beautiful girl she was.

Beautiful Kai Kai.  His coloring was stunning with a deep red coat-- his hair had black tips on it.  I've never had one like him before.  I never figured out why he wasn't adopted, but after a year, I decided he was staying.  I'm so glad.  He was my heart.   

Clara came from a small shelter.  She was about 8 pounds at the most.  She was another hospice dog since we found she had brain cancer/tumor.   I could carry her around in my hand-- she was just so small.   She had big beautiful eyes.  A truly special one.

Floyd with Starlight-- he was another hospice boy.  He came to me almost blind and deaf, but we all loved him.  He had quite a following.  

Chumley with his dumbbell.  He LOVED it.  My granddaughter fell in love with him and we had to keep him for her.  He was such a great boy!  He loved all the kids. 

Kenobi-- oh what a special boy her was.  He was only with me 2 weeks before he left us.  I'll never forget him and his red sweater.  He would sit with Sugar Bit and have tea parties.  

How many of you remember Cranberry.   I had her all her life.  She was a little bossy with the fosters.  When a new one came, she would go to the stairs and just sit.  And sit.  When she realized everyone was having fun, she came down to join them  LOL  

Sissy was another foster who stayed.  She was a quiet soul-- we think she had a brain tumor, but it only showed problems at the end.   She was so soft and fluffy.   A sweet girl. 

Of course, we all remember Callie, our Treeing Walker Coonhound.   She joined our family and found love and peace here.   She was a hound, but she NEVER bayed!  She never howled.   Maybe there WAS some Peke in her.  She always thought she was one.  She was Mama to all the dogs here.  

Unlike some of you, I don't remember the day they died.  I DO remember how they lived and how they loved, though.  That is more important to me.  And they were all so loved.   Who else was special to you of the Pekes we've had?  You listed more than I'll do a blog on later.   So much loved had gone through our home.  What a blessing.
