EDDIE-- HOME NOW

Eddie, formerly Kris, was one of the Christmas '24 rescues.  

Like many of that group, he is super sweet and loving.  This picture was shortly after his rescue.   His coat is now long and full and beautiful. 

Last week, he had a medical emergency and was admitted to an emergency hospital.  He was in very critical condition, but everything was done to help him.  

Veterinary Specialty and Emergency was amazing.   They did everything they could-- transfusions, IV fluids and antibiotics.   It was touch and go, but yesterday, Eddie went home!   They are in  Charlottesville, VA and we want to say THANK YOU to them!   

Eddie will need a lot of rest, but he's back HOME!  He was so excited to see Lisa.   

We are SO happy for him!   Continue healing precious boy.   We love you.  💙

GIDGET IS 14

Gidget came into rescue in 2021.  

Her owner was in hospice and could no longer take care of her. 

Gidget came in w her brother. She was 9 and her brother Rocky was 14. 

Gidget had seizures in the past so she began seizure meds once she was in rescue. 

Gidget and Sissy visited w Amee when I was out of town and she fell in love w Gidget.  So I picked up Sissy and left Gidget there. 😁 it was the perfect home for her. 

Gidget was so sweet. 

We discovered she liked to “sing for her people.”  In the vet, if she was left alone, or if she just wanted to be heard.  😂🎶🎼🎵

She became her mom’s work buddy.  She is a great little helper. 

Allie Marie is here w Gidget. They love their dad, too.  Gidget is 14 now and still doing great!   She is such a treasure. 
 

PERCY AND TULIP

Here are Percy (cream) and Tulip. (Of the Christmas rescue, Tinsel and Nicholas) 

Tulip loves to snuggle in the bed. 

His mom says that Percy is a bit of a knucklehead.

 His favorite water bowl is the birdbath on the deck. He waits by the back door to get a drink.  Silly boy.  

Tulip monitors the front of the house from the couch. Her mom thinks there is Tibetan Spaniel in her since likes to perch up high and keep an on eye on things. 

Percy loves Penny (who just turned 19!) and he enjoys being close to her.  Penny is like a mama dog to both young ones. 

 One of Tulip's nicknames is Tiny Dancer for the little dances she does when she’s excited to see her mom.  They are both doing so well in their forever home.   I remember the day I met their mom to give them to her.   I think they knew right away she would be their forever mom and home.   💙💜

 

HAPPY SUNDAY

Toby was all smiles and giving kisses to his new foster mom.   His other foster mom Susan is visiting family out of state so we needed a place for him.  So far, he’s doing great.  

His new foster brother Fin and 

Wasabi and they are happy he’s there.   There will be more adventures. 

Meanwhile at our house, Gwennie has an idea of how to spend Sunday.  Relaxing!   What are your plans today?  

Have a happy Sunday. 🌞
 

TOBY— ALL HEALED

Remember Toby?  He came from a North Carolina shelter. He had been hit by a car.  He needed a rescue who could have surgery done for him. 

He had the surgery done and has his final recheck w the surgeon in a few weeks.   I’m transporting him today w 3 others—a transport train.  He is going to a foster (to maybe adopt) home.   

He is the sweetest boy and we’re taking applications for him. If you’ve been approved, let me know if you’re interested because I have a list of people who have met our requirements.  (I don’t contact each one/ they have to let me know.)  https://potomacpekes.org/adoption-application/

We do not adopt out of our area (a few exceptions have been made but that’s when we know them).  We do not transport or allow them to be transported or flown. 

Toby is precious, loves other dogs and is a joy to have around. 🥰

 

KODA’S EYES

Koda was turned into the shelter because his owners could not afford to take care of him.  His eyes were in rough shape. 

We had him at the ophthalmologist immediately. He definitely needed help. 

He went to a foster to adopt home and they’ve been amazing w him. 

They took him to see the ophthalmologist in N Virginia. 

Surgery was the following week. 

He was scheduled for a recheck but before that happened, he hurt his eye.  He may have rubbed on something.  Pekes are smart and he didn’t let the e-collar get in his way. 😫

If you look closely at this picture, you can see his stitches. 

He needed another surgery.  He had a recheck this week and needs another 2 weeks w the e-collar. 

He’s doing better w his eye drops.  He lets his foster mom put them in now.  His foster parents will be adopting him. ❤️

He’s going to be ready for them to adopt him soon.   He will need eye meds for life. I think most of us have Pekes who need eye drops.   (Dickens and Gwennie both have to have eye drops twice a day.)

Koda has a wonderful future and has so much love already. 🥰
 

CINNAMON THE STALKER

Cinnamon has little quirks.  She mostly goes by smell since she has very limited sight.  Her hearing helps her a lot.  She definitely hears me when I pick up the food bowls. 

I was unpacking things in the room over the garage.  The dogs came up to help   Cinnamon and Gwennie watched me sort things in the closet.  Then Cinnamon decided she would stalk Gwennie.  This is new behavior.  😫  Cinnamon was really just infatuated w Gwennie. Tail wagging like crazy. 

There was a big basket up there, so Gwennie took refuge there.  Well I did help her get in it. 

Cinnamon started looking for Gwennie.  Remember she can’t really see. 

Gwennie just sat there.  Looking at me.  And Cinnamon kept looking. 

Cinnamon walked all over. She even walked under a high bed in a vain search. 

Gwennie laid low.  Very happy in her hiding place. 

Cinnamon still didn’t see her.  Poor Cinnamon. ❤️
