TOBYS APPOINTMENT

This face. 

Toby has the most precious face. 

I let him ride in the stroller so he didn’t walk too much.  

He has a sad look but he’s just lounging.  He could get used to this way of travel. 

Dickens went also. He needed his yearly flu shot.  Everyone loved seeing him. They remembered him as a skinny Christmas ‘24 rescue pup. They’re astounded by how much hair he has now. He was an almost hairless boy. 

Toby is still healing.  He has a plate and screws in one area of his pelvis but another area is still in the process of connecting so he can’t have too much activity. 
He had vaccines and his flu shot.  His ears were rechecked.  He’s doing so well.  

He was tired after all the attention. 

He was ready to go home!  

HELLO TOBY

 

Toby just came to my house this morning so I can take him to his 2 week post surgery check up  his foster mom volunteers at a shelter on Thursday.   

I put him in a small area and my dogs immediately had to say hi.   First, Dickens and Cinnamon had to go over. 

Then Gwennie joined in. 

All 5 showed up. Gwennie said LET HIM OUT. 

It got pretty crowded  

Don’t worry guys. We will be back soon!  I’ll post an update on Toby. 

GWENNIE HELPING

This packing stuff is getting old.  But the final move is next Friday the 29th.   So I’m BUSY!  (If I miss making some blogs, you know why.). 

That cabinet is empty and Gwennie is inspecting. Next job, paint them inside and out. 

A friend told me to take breaks. Do we do.  Why are you all staring. Go run around!  Not an active crew here. 

Gwennie helps in other ways- mam, that’s my yogurt. 

I’ve been sorting games, books, furniture. 

It’s not all going.  We bought a smaller house so some stuff just won’t go.  It’s one floor so our old dogs can get around better. 

There’s bags and boxes, desks, rockers, trunks.   

We’ve been here 28 years.  So we had lots of things built up.  I guess now we’re “building down.”  

Sometimes the dogs have to be behind a gate. They weren’t pleased. 😂

I do take breaks on my back porch which I have loved, especially when it’s raining.  

Cinnamon is ready to be in one place.  At the new house, she climbed into the toy bucket. She’s never done that.  I guess she wants to be there full time. 🏠
 

CAN WE HELP? YES!

 

I received a message last week to see if we could help this boy.

They had him since he was a pup.  

He just turned a year old and they felt he could use a family that had energy to match his. His new mom works from home so he will have company during the day.  

His name is Puddin Pie. 

He is about 17 pounds now. He’s a big boy. 

He’s loving and playful.   I began to think of an adopter and one person came to mind.  

My friends Peke had passed away and we had messaged back and forth.  I asked her if she was interested.  She was! 

Puddin Pie goes to his new home tomorrow. His owners talked to my friend and felt she would be a wonderful new mom.  I can’t wait to hear about his new adventures.  😍

HAPPY SUNDAY FROM SCOUT ANNABELLE

Scout Annabelle (formerly Iggy) wants to wish everyone a happy, restful day.  If you can take a few moments of quiet, refresh yourself.  😁

That’s what she will be doing. 🐾😴J

COCO’S HAPPY HOME

Coco came into rescue w Gwennie.  Coco had a family waiting for her.  They didn’t know much about her, but they knew she was meant to be theirs.  Look at that face.  She’s beautiful.  She goes for walks everyday—and has a big fenced yard. When she walks, she has a cute side to side strut. 🌺

Like the rest, Coco sleeps on the bed near her mom.  Such a perfect home for her. 😍
 

PAINTING AGAIN?

Gwennie wants to know why I’m so busy.  And why I look like I’ve been in a paint ball fight. 🎨🫟 

We do take breaks and wander the yard.  AND we saw 2 young opossums!! 

I heard rustling near the little creek and there they were.   In the 28 years in this house, I’ve seen raccoons, pileated woodpeckers , squirrels  but never an opossum.  Wow!  

Back to painting! Almost done w this bathroom.  One more to go. 

Most of the furniture is gone. So just box or bag the rest in this room. 

The dogs act like they’ve been the ones doing all the work.  They weren’t even supervising!   Starting today to finish a few rooms.  I’m ready to move!
