GWENNIE AND PIPPI

Gwennie had another eye check up yesterday.   She's had an unusual path in her healing.  She has been seen more than we expected. 

Just for fun, I took Pippi to see how she would do.   She was so good, I was very proud of her. 

Gwennie tried to go out with several dogs.  Such a traitor!  LOL 

Waggles was there, too.   She was a small Bulldog/Pit mix and so sweet!   Gwennie was interested in meeting her and they both had wagging tails.  I talked to her mom and found that she had done bulldog rescue for 30 years.  I'm at 23 1/2 years.  We shared stories.  That was nice. 

The girls were both interested in the large bulldog across the waiting area.  They were both so cute there, easy going.   Gwennie had her checkup and the ophthalmologist that I've seen for years was there.   After finishing Gwennie, he said he'd check Pippi, too.  No charge.  I found that Pippi's eyes were good.  He recommended for her to be seen again in a year.  Gwennie isn't quite healed yet and I have to make a report on her by phone, in ten days, and then take her back in January for another checkup to see if they have healed.   Her surgery doesn't usually have complications, but she did.  It's okay.  We'll keep up her meds and eye care.  

When we got home, Paddington made sure Pippi was okay.  So sweet.   

Today, I don't have to go anywhere.  Yay!   There's plenty to do here though.  LOL 
 

A BATH?!

Pippi doesn't need baths as often as she did at first.  But, like all dogs, she does get baths like the rest.  

Are you ready? 

Time outside first.  Let's go!

Oh, a wet dog.  She doesn't see the humor in it.  (She really doesn't care.)

Piper asked if he was next!  Nope, he was bathed the day before.  He still needs a trim, but he IS clean.

Who uses garden tubs.  No one.  But it makes a great place to confine a dog for blow drying. 

"Seriously! You think this is fun?"   LOL   She really is such a good girl.   I can dremel her nails.  Easy, she just lays there while I do it.  (Actually, all my dogs are good about it.)  She's easy to bath, easy to blow dry.  She lets me comb and brush her, even when I hit a tangle.  Plus, she's so little, I can just hold her in my arms while I bathe, brush, dremel,  Rub her tummy, kiss her face.   Her only imperfection is that she can be a little testy with the other dogs if she is annoyed with them, which isn't very often anymore.  But she can be spicy! 

Just look at her.  Don't you want to kiss her?   Oh, and one more thing.  She just might be getting adopted next week.  Isn't that the best?   I will sure miss this tiny one.  💜
 

KRINGLE- LOOK AT HIM NOW

Kringle was in the first group of the Christmas rescue.   It will be two years on December 23 that he came into rescue. 

Look at him now.  He's gained 9 pounds (maybe a little more) since he came.  That shows how thin he was when he came.  He has developed muscle and can take walks now.  He gives his opinion, too.  Like when he thinks his mom should share her food.  LOL 

Marti, his mom, posted this picture.  Ricky on the left was a foster dog who couldn't be adopted because of his behavior.  He stayed with Marti the last 3 years of his life and they were his best.  Kringle is in the middle, the smile touches my heart.  Susie, Marti's beautiful girl, is with Ricky over the Rainbow Bridge.  This photo is beautiful.  

Kringle has the best life, the best almost two years that he's ever had.  He's a senior like Dickens, and the life they both have is nothing like their previous life- it is full of love, joy, good food, toys.  It's the best.  💙💙

 

DELLA UPDATE

 

Do you remember Della?   She came into rescue in January of 2024. 

We thought she was about 8 and her vet said she’s probably 11 now.  That fits.  I love this picture of her. 

Della loves her walks w her dad.  They go everyday at 6:30 to begin the day. And he lets her pick the route. 😁

Her mom said she is getting more Peke-a-tude she gets older.  That comes in handy w her new brother.  I don’t have pictures of him but he’s a lot faster than she is. 😂

Della has her parents trained. If she taps her mom’s leg, she wants dinner.  If she taps her dad’s leg, she wants a walk. She’s a smart girl!  

ZEKE IN TROUBLE?

What did you do Zeke?  Your mom sent me your pictures. I had to laugh.  I know it’s just your costume. I love it!

Your mom told me your crime. Zeke’s mom and dad discovered he can their channels.  What a special trait.  (I have found many of my fosters have had unique abilities. Zeke is no different.)

If Zeke was really a prisoner, he’s a very cute one! 🥰

You can share your pets in costumes, too.

AUTUMN AND PEKES

It’s cooled down.  Finally.  But, change of seasons doesn’t matter to Gwennie.  She still tries to beg for food. 

I think she managed to succeed. 

They’re all hopeful that I’ll have something to give them.  

I’m just reading a book guys.  One of the rare times I sit. 

I’m sure there was room for another one. 

Pippi wouldn’t leave from under the rocker bed.  

By the way, Gwennie’s eyes are healing after weeks of medicine (so far).  

She will see the ophthalmologist next week.  If you enlarge the picture, you can see she’s much better. 

Do you feel like slowing down w the cooler temperature?  Dickens does.  Of course, he’s always liked his naps. 🍂🍁😂🐾

HARLEY AND CICI

In June of 2013, we took in Cici and Harley.  They were so cute.  

We weren’t sure how old they were but we thought they were young. They’ve gotten older but they’re still beautiful. 

Harley and Cici were adopted together which I loved. 🥰

Did I mention they had puppies on the way when they came to us.   

We were able to watch the puppies grow.  It was awesome. 

Harley and Cici love each other. 

It’s so wonderful that they’ve been able to spend their life together. 🩷💙
