TUK TUK VISITS

Tuk Tuk is happy we are moving.  His house isn’t far from ours. 

He has come over several times when I’ve there.  He accepts meals if it’s dinner time 😂

He can be silly.  He was staring outside.  But he couldn’t see out! The curtain blocked his view.  Maybe he was just trying to entertain us. 

I helped him out by moving the curtain. Did he notice?  Haha 

After he went home, he helped his mom read.  Really?

I think we’ll be seeing a lot of Tuk Tuk after our move is done. 

Our pups are fine w that! 

 

A DUCKIE FOR FRESIA

Fresia got a new duckie!   🐥 She loves it!!

She flung it around and then took a rest.  Both of them. 

Fresia and her sister Scout — where’s the duck?

In May, it will be four years since she joined her family.  

A friend asked me to find her a new family and I knew just who to call. 🥰

Fresia loves her home!

Get ready.  Here she goes again!

I hope that duckie is well made—Fresia will spending a lot of time w it! 
 

THE FARMERS MARKET

 We’re at our new house for a few days. I went to the farmers market.   I thought I’d take Dickens to see how he would do.  He was great!  

At first he had the stroller to himself but some plants were added.  Dickens was almost invisible.  He got a lot of laughs as people realized he was in there  😂

Towards the end, he was getting drowsy.  He had  fun day.  I think more market days are in our future. 🌞

WELCOME TOBY

A sweet Peke was found as a stray.  A kind person saw him and brought him to the shelter. 

It looked like he had been hit by a car and one leg was in bad shape. 

The shelter took him immediately to the vet.  X-rays were done and it showed a broken pelvis and leg.  

He stayed at the vet for care while the shelter tried to find his owner.  No one came forward.  The shelter reached out to us.  We couldn’t help if a foster home couldn’t be found.  My friend stepped up.  

She picked him up yesterday in the morning and my vet was waiting for him.  I love my vet. (Acredale Animal Hospital, Va Beach). 

He can get around but the vet is amazed. But he has no bones supporting this so he is on crate rest (we use small xpens). He has to be in pain and he’s on pain meds.  His labs were done so we’ll know more on Monday.  If needed, we’ll take him to an orthopedic surgeon to see if we can fix the leg.  The vet thinks he’s only 2-3 so we want his future to be pain free. 

For now, he is resting and being carried outside.  He has a name and a new life coming.  Welcome to rescue Toby. 🥰
 

ANOTHER RESCUE?

Gwennie heard me messaging a lot and she knew something was up. 

She had been sound asleep but she must have sensed my concern. 

She told Cinnamon and that got her worried too.  Who needed help?  A shelter had messaged us and said there was an injured dog there   Could we help?  The intense messaging began.  To the board   To multiple people to see if they could foster.   One stepped up - thanks Susan!  And Susan is not far from the shelter.  

I met Susan 16 years ago when Duchess needed help.  We’ve been working w each other ever since. 😁

The injured dog (he looks Peke) is being picked up this morning and my vet is waiting for him.  I hope we can help him. He’s in serious condition.  We will sure try.  ❤️

 

MANDY--SO HAPPY

Mandy came into rescue in August of last year.   It doesn't seem that long.  

Mandy not only got a new mom and dad, she also got a new sister.  Chenny and Mandy are best friends now.  

A dog rolling around on her back has to be a secure dog.  Just look at her.

Mandy is in the best home we could have found for her.  Sweet girls!💮💮



 

LUDO AND HIS BOX

Ludo, formerly Fizziwig of the Christmas rescue, decided he likes boxes too. 

He must have seen too many Granger pictures. 😁  or maybe Ludo thinks he’s hiding.  (Like Gwennie the other day peeking out of the crate.  We can still see them.) 

Toby (aka Gabriel) is resting on his brother Ludo- both relaxing after a day of being busy playing w dogs and kids. 

They joined Davey Jones, their older Aussie brother for a good night.  Dogs big and small, all loving each other.  Rescue has given me the opportunity to see so much love.  A blessing.
