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. 🩷💙

COCO, LIZZIE AND ELWOOD

Coco came into rescue In March along w Gwennie. 

I keep you updated on Gwennie.  Here she wants my food.  I put her to my side but that wasn’t good enough. She went around me, trying to sneak in through my arm. 😂

Coco loves her family and she watches the neighborhood to protect them. 

She is now house trained and loves walks.  (Gwennie has made great progress, too.)

Lizzie has tried to get Coco to play.  Much to her delight, Coco has joined in! 

Other family dogs come too and they just blend in. 

When Coco came, Elwood became a big brother. 

Coco found her “best ever” forever home.  💖
