NEW YORK TOASTY

 Toasty loves walks. 

Toasty has become a real Brooklyn dog.  He’s beginning his second year living there. 

He’s telling his girl (my granddaughter) he wants to go on a walk. 

He has learned about the traffic and sits until it’s his turn to cross the street. 

Ready?  Let’s go!

After a walk, it was shower time!  He loved it. 

After a busy day, he’s ready to rest.  It’s been hot up there, just like in Virginia.  (Hope it cools off soon.)

And he’s done. He has steps to get on his girl’s bed.  He sometimes takes over the silk pillow. 😂 Your girl won’t mind. 😍

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SADIE

Trixie and Gidget love their new home. They joined other PVPC alumni. 

Leia now Li-Li is one of them.  She adores all her new family.  She has so many friends. 

Belle now Minnie and Oliver now Moose are from the Christmas rescue  and look at the faces behind them.  There’s so much love there.  

Trixie and Gidget are there too and they helped celebrate their big sister’s birthday! 

They each got a birthday treat.  Yum! 

Sadie is about 15-16 and was rescued in 2022.   She has a loving mom and dad, a home, friends.  It’s the best.  Happy birthday sweet girl! 🥰

WELCOME SOPHIE AND SPENCER

We were asked if we could help two 3 month old bichon puppies. We had an open foster so we said yes. 

Who is who?

Their foster mom put Sophie in a green harness and Spencer is wearing a red one.  

They are both super sweet and very playful. 

They are in Yogi’s home and they play until they run out of energy.  A short rest and they’re off again to play.  

Sophie and Spencer can be adopted separately  

We adopt in Maryland and Virginia.  We do home and vet checks.  We do not adopt to first time adopters or to homes w young children

MARLOWE’S DNA

Marlowe is doing great.  Winter is insisting that he plays w her. 

She barks and say “let’s play!!”

Todd is observing but also gets into it. 

Is that a play bow? 

His foster mom did a DNA test on him. 

He is mostly Pekingese. 🐾

But what is a Mi-Ki?   Marlowe doesn’t care. He’s busy w his bone. 

He’s contemplating all the wonderful breeds he has.  It doesn’t matter.  He’s beautiful to us. 

 

GWENNIE’S RECHECK

The ophthalmologist wanted to check Gwennie’s eyes one more time before her surgery on Friday. 

It was an extra long appointment because he wanted to be extra sure of the right plan for her. 

She was so good for her long exam.  Really!  She was amazing w all the bright lights and tests.  She just stood there like a champ!  I was very proud of her.  

This couple was their w their dog. They were enamored by Gwennie and asked to hold her while I checked out. 

She slept all the way home. It was only 30 minutes, but she was exhausted.  After her nap, she was ready to get out and chat w Ginger and Toby who live next door.  

I’ll update you after her surgery on Friday. 🙏

ADVANTAGES OF HAVING A DOG

There are so many advantages of having a dog.  You are always being watched.  

When you go to the bathroom alone, don’t worry, a Peke will join you shortly. (Thank you Beth.) 

You will find hair everywhere — whether you want it or not. 

If you see one, you might see two .. or more. 

They like to be close.  On your feet while you do the dishes.  Hello Gwennie. 

Double the dogs, double the fun. 

One helps guard your yard, 6 makes an army of watch dogs. 

They comes in many sizes and many colors. 

No tv, no problem.  Just watch a dog. 

You will always have hair on your blankets, in your car, in your house—- it’s everywhere.  

You have walking companions.  These two have decorative harnesses. 😂😂 

They can be part of an exercise plan. Use a tiny one if you’re a beginner.  As you get stronger, pick a larger “weight.”  

If you have extras, you will find hair in your eyelashes,  that’s my favorite.  It evades your ability to find it. That just makes it more fun.  It happens daily.  

I know there are more pluses to having a dog, but I’ve just started the list.  You can add to it. 👍
 

BRUCE SENDS A MESSAGE

Bruce sent me a message.  Our PVPC alumni are so smart. It’s amazing what they can do.  He came to us in January.  He needed medical care and he became a Peke for awhile. ❤️

Bruce wanted me to know that he love loves his new home.  He also loves tummy rubs so he is ready for one.  I couldn’t resist that sweet face.  I bet you couldn’t either. 

Happy Sunday from Bruce! 🌞
