MADDY AND HIS PEKE ALLOWANCE

 Maddy gets an  allowance.   FIVE DOLLAR A WEEK!!   So, he saved his money and sent some in for us to use for the Pekingese.  Of course, he had to take out movies, snacks, comic books first.    Here is what he said, "Hello Linda, It's Maddy!   I wanted to write you and tell U I am fine.  I bark at strangers and chase these things--- (picture of a rabbit!-- good picture, Maddy!).   Daddy called them R-bits?   I don't want them in my yard!!

 My job it to check the yard every morning for r-bits and PATROL the entire neighborhood with Mommy and Daddy at night.   A big job!    Gotta go..... had to bark at the door!!      I love my new home and family.   They needed me so BADLY.   I rescued THEM!   From Boardedum.  (I love your spelling, Maddy!)   Thank you for all you and Auntie Jeanne did.   Here is my allowance to help other needy Pekes!

I told Maddy's Dad that Pekingese needed a place to live our their lives-- but his Daddy said, "Pekingese need a place to enrich OUR lives."   I couldn't agree more.

Maddy, you sure were adopted into a wonderful family!   And Maddy wants all Pekes to get an allowance!!   (Don't tell mine!)

FAREWELL MISTY

 Misty was my foster dog in early 2007.   I had been called to a shelter to pick up a Pekingese who was "testy."    I got there and saw she was part Peke, but I couldn't leave her.     They had deemed her "unadoptable" and she would have been put down.

 She was in the quarantine room and I went in there.    They said she would attack me-- but I knelt down and said "open her kennel."   They did, and she did attack me-- with KISSES!!   She knew I was there to save her.  Her tail was wagging so hard.

I just found out that Misty died last week.   This has been such a bad week for losing dogs and I was so sad to find out Misty had died also.     She had a happy life with her family and is now free!   Rest in peace, sweet girl. 

MITTENS THE PEKE AND HER KITTEN

This stray kitten, 2 inches long when found, was nursed back to health by Mittens, a four year old Pekingese.    Read this amazing story.    Click here: The wonder of mother nature: A dog acts on her maternal instincts and nurses a stray kitten as if it was her own p

CROSBY

 Crosby came into rescue after a rough beginning.    We don't know what happened to him, but it made him  not trust all people, thinking they would hurt him.     He loves his foster mom and dad, loves to walk on a leash.    

He gets along great with his two foster brothers and is always ready for a belly rub and ear scratch.    He foster mom says he is the color of a fine champagne with a beautiful fur coat and tail.   He thinks newspapers and magazines are toys, but he's young (about 2 to 3 years old).   

Crosby needs an owner who is familiar with the breed and able to work with him to trust new people.    With the family, though, he is a dollbaby.   He will not be adopted to a home with children.   

FAREWELL DEVA

Our foster moms, Laurie and Lyn, lost their sweet Corgi, Deva last Friday.   She is pictured here with Mick, one of their Pekes adopted from us.    Deva had been losing connections with her back legs for several months, and then got really sick last week.     They had to let her go on Friday.    She was a dear dog who is missed by her friend, Dash, the cat.    Deva was known to clean up after Mick, who always left pieces of food outside his bowl.   Maybe he knew Deva liked extra bits.   Now Mick is cleaning up after Chip, their foster Peke.  He has taken on Deva's role.  I know Deva is missed a lot by the whole family.    Rest in peace, sweet girl.    

PUDGE

Pudge  is an incredible boy.      He was rescued from a Maryland shelter and has fit right into his foster home.   e as he sits patiently at the garage door as he knows it is
time to go to work..He has been coming with me for the past 4-5 days. He knows
the Fedex man, UPS and most of the people in the building, he has been really
friendly to all and he is coming around with my dogs. He gets along with the
dogs in my office building (everyone brings their dogs to work in Annapolis

 He is awesome in the car and knows the schedule as he sits patiently at the garage door to go to work with his foster mom.    He is very comical at the office and the staff there expect to see him daily.

 His foster mom says he is a delight to have around and anyone who wants a sweet laidback dog would love him!  

 He never barks unless he is hungry or wants to go for a walk.   He WILL let you know.   He LOVES his walks!   He can meet new people and he welcomes everyone, people and dogs alike. 

 He is patient, but he might not like young dogs who want to pounce on him.  After all, he is a stately gentleman.    (I don't like being pounced on either, Pudge!)

He is a pretty terrific boy!

LACEY NICOLE

 Lacey Nicole came into rescue this month.   She was turned in for behavior issues.   She is a tiny thing at only 10 pounds.  She will be two years old in November.   

 Clarence is her foster brother and they play so well together!   Clarence is an incredible "big brother" to the foster dogs who come there.

Lacey does so well with other dogs, not aggressive at all.       

 When I got her and took her to the vet, she was a little unsure.

 But, at my house, she did fine.    She doesn't like to be picked up, unless it's on her terms.    She will growl at you, but then continues on.

She was in the kitchen, and my grandson, Beach Bit, was here.    I was so surprised because Lacey loves him!!!    And at the vet, when she saw children, she kept trying to get to them, her tail wagging.    Amazing. 

 She really wanted to share Beach Bit's popsickle.    Scooterbug wanted some, too.

 When Beach Bit was reading my Scotland magazine (I love this magazine!), Lacey got up there, too--- she can spring onto the couch with no trouble, even though she is so small.

 She even told Beach Bit a secret-- maybe she wanted him to read out loud to her.

That must have been it-- she is listening with great interest.

Lacey needs a special owner who knows she has little squirks and ways.   But, she is so worth it.    She is housetrained and might be just the right fit.   She does need like a yard, but she has learned to walk with a  harness/leash.  She realized if she didn't walk with a leash, she got left behind and Clarence was having so much fun!!  Just let us know if you're interested in this small one.   Here she are four videos of her playing:    Click here: Yoga dogs - YouTube       http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5ywLDeTsZo
