ROXY AND DAISY

 Sugar Bit is helping me write the blog today.   She is chatting with me, and getting tickled with what she is saying.   I love this age!    She wanted to help with the keyboard/writing, but I decided that I probably should do it on my own.  Click here: sugarbitJuly15 - YouTube    And on to the blog.

We have been asked to take in Roxy and Daisy.   Their owner no longer has help during the day with her Pekes and she is gone long work days.  She would like someone to adopt them who has more time than she can give them.  

 They will be coming to us this week-end.  Aren't they cute!  Roxy was born in 2009.  She is totally blind, but we know that does not mean there is a problem   Just ask Sophie's mom!   (Sophie is doing magnificently in her new home!)

Roxy is spunky, playful, loves her toys, loves people.   She thinks everyone who comes to visit is there to see her.    

Roxy is about ten years old and she thinks it is her job to stay with Roxy wherever she goes.   Before Daisy joined their family, she has been abused by her owners and was timid of all people, especially small children-- BUT, now she is full of love  and life and has the most beautiful face.     Their owner loves them dearly, but since she travels with her job, she cannot take care of them adequately.    We hope to find them a home together.   Stay tuned for updates on this sweet pair!

SWEET GIRL

One picture-- have I ever done that in a blog?   This little girl was found in a crate, left by the side of the road. I don't even want to think of what could have happened.   She has one eye, and when she got to the shelter, she was put on the "put down" list.   Only rescue could save her.  And time was limited.   Could we help?  Thanks to Roger and a few others, she was saved!   She is on her way to us.   She is supposed to be very sweet.   We think she is about 5 years old.  We'll know more once our vet sees her.    What would YOU name her?

RAYMOND!

 Raymond came to us in January of this year from a shelter in Maryland.   His eyes were inflamed, and he just needed help.  

 You cannot tell in the picture, but Raymond had no tail.   We don't know if it was docked or if he was born that way.   His little "stubby" would wag, though.

 He has the most wonderful personality-- loving and sweet.

Here  he is now, at his adopted home, getting all he needs.   He has a Peke sister named Arby (also adopted from us).   Just to show you how much he loves his home, just watch this video!  Click here: Raymondmovie - YouTube

CUPCAKE (FORMERLY TIFFANY)

 Cupcake was in a shelter in the western part of Virginia.  She was turned in by her owner. She was only five years old.

 If dogs in shelters have medical issues, they have almost no chance of adoption-- so we were contacted.  Cupcake had a small growth on her eye.    Nasal fold (eye fold) surgery and eye drops solved that problem.    She was ready for adoption!    And she did not last long.

 She went to a wonderful home in Maryland and her mom just sent me an email saying it had been a year since she had joined her family.   You know I love updates!

Cupcake is here with her friend, Remmy, and she loves her life!   We do, too!!  

FESTUS, HURRICAN AND BELLA

  I wanted to do some quick updates.   Festus-- just look at this sweet boy.   He was adopted in 2012 and is doing so well.  He is a great foster brother and has brightened the lives of those who have been lucky enough to meet him.   His ears usually stand up a bit-- adorable!

 He had a bath yesterday-- they look so funny and cute when they are all wet.   He seems very okay with this.

Hurricane had a bath, too.   He was totally insulted.  That lasted a few moments until he fell asleep haha.    He is still in foster care.   

 And an update on sweet Bella.   She was adopted on Wednesday and is so loved already.   Her mom put her in a little bed next to their bed-- that lasted 3.2 seconds until Bella-- now Bella Ann-- decided she should sleep IN the bed.   And she did.

 In the morning, she got up and watched the news with her new mom.

 Then, her mom dressed her up to go meet her grandmom and aunt-- I love her dress!   Can we say this little girl will be very spoiled?   I think so!   Just what I want for every foster dog we have.

TYLER

 I love Pekes.   I love all Pekes-- but there are some who touch my heart is a different way.

 One of those is sweet Tyler.    He was adopted from us when his mom and dad  lived in Virginia.

 They moved to California and his mom, Lisa, began to rescue Pekes and Peke mixes out there.  

 Tyler came to our rescue with a group of dogs who needed our help.

So, he had first hand experience with being a foster dog who needed help.

After he and his brother, Maxwell moved to California,  I called them the Hollywood Pekes.   Maxwell passed away in 2013 and is still missed, I know.

Maxwell is getting older now-- he's the old gentleman who helps his mom and dad take care of all those needy dogs who come to them for care.

Tyler even shares his bed with them, which I know makes them feel safer.

He encourages those fosters who are beginning their rescue journey.   He lets them know that e-collar won't be on for long.

He likes to rest a lot-- he's older.  I think most of us would like to join him!

He supervises doggy door time.  They can guard the street, watch for the mailman, discourage burglars, watch for Dad and Mom to come home.   Dad does the shopping, so I know they really watch for him! :-)

Tyler has always had a face that I just want to kiss.  

Your family loves you Tyler!   And so do I!
