PIPPI ADOPTED

 

Tiny Pippi was adopted yesterday.  She was adopted by someone I’ve known 16 years and they have adopted many from us.  

Pippi came so far in the months she was w me.  She came into rescue needing medical care.  Her skin healed, she went from baths every other day to baths every 6-7 days.  Her hair grew out and her health is good now. 

Letting a foster go is hard.  I know she will be making a transition and be a little confused.   

But I know her new mom and dad are amazing and pretty soon, I’ll just be a memory.  And that’s okay. 

The house is different even though 5 dogs are still here. Paddington got on one of the beds Pippi used.  

And Cinnamon got on another one. They’ll be fine.  They just know it’s different. 

Pippi will get so much love and attention.  We will get lots of updates.  Pippi, you are so loved. 🩷

ABNER—GET WELL

Update:   Abner passed away from heart failure at 4:15 this morning.   Run free little man. ❤️

Abner has been receiving special care at an emergency vet where he is being monitored.  

Abner came into rescue in February of 2013. 

He was a puppy w eye issues.  He had surgery while in rescue and his parents have continued his care wonderfully.  He has lost both eyes after he became an older boy but it didn’t stop him from living a great life. 

He was an adorable puppy and he became a therapy dog. He went to the airport w his brothers who are also therapy dogs.  The trio also went to a hospital and cheered patients. 

Now Abner is the patient.  He’s been very sick.  Please lift up this special little Peke ❤️

MAMA PEPPER

Pepper (aka Peppermint) came into rescue almost 3 years ago.  

Her foster family fell in love w her and adopted her. 💖

Pepper had a new brother join the family this year.  And Pepper became a nanny dog.  She loves her baby! 

And Pepper has a special power.  She keeps the floor clean and I bet everyone thinks the baby is really neat and doesn’t drop any food.  He has them fooled.  He just has Pepper clean it all up. Smart baby!  
 

HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY HUGO

Hugo lives in New York.  He was adopted 3 years ago when his owner could no longer take care of him.  

He has brought his mom so much joy.  He loves walks and is a wonderful companion. 

Autumn is there, too, and it's probably getting close to the no leaves stage.   The colors of autumn always bring me joy.

Happy Birthday Hugo!!   I hope you had some cake.  😉🎂
 

BEAUTIFUL MORNING

Last night, Pippi decided to sleep on a pillow on the couch.   She has steps to the couch and can fly up them and plop in place.   This is how I found her this morning.  

Last night, she was definitely ready for sleep. 

Paddington was there, too, and they slept close together.   

Gwennie decided my side of the bed was a good place to be-- sideways, but she left me a sliver of bed.  LOL 

This morning, we all went outside.  And wow!   The fog was in the trees, and it was as if the morning was saying hello to me.

Sunbeams attempted to come through the trees and fog.   I just stood there, amazed by it all.  

It was a magical way to begin the day in Virginia. 

After they were all done, Pippi said, "Time for breakfast!"   It has been a gift to watch Pippi heal and learn to be with other dogs and hang out with them.  Her personality has blossomed and she has been a joy to have.  A little miracle.   This weekend, she will go to her forever home.   I'm so grateful to have been part of her journey.  

I hope you began the day with beauty.  💛💜   
 

BABY CHEW

Do you remember Chewy who came into rescue in June? 

His owner couldn’t take care of him.  He also had experienced some seizures and needed help. 

He was cleaned up and he was so good.  

He a gorgeous little man. 

He settled right in w his family. 

They all adore him. 

He has so much attention. 

Being held like a baby is wonderful. 

He has a lot of big friends!  

Watch where you step!  It looks like my house but I have just Peke size dogs. 

Double bunked.  Chewy, do you want to make it a triple layer?  

He was nicknamed Baby Chew by his family.  I see why.  A sweet baby who found his forever home. 🥰
