COCO’S HAPPY HOME

Coco came into rescue w Gwennie.  Coco had a family waiting for her.  They didn’t know much about her, but they knew she was meant to be theirs.  Look at that face.  She’s beautiful.  She goes for walks everyday—and has a big fenced yard. When she walks, she has a cute side to side strut. 🌺

Like the rest, Coco sleeps on the bed near her mom.  Such a perfect home for her. 😍
 

PAINTING AGAIN?

Gwennie wants to know why I’m so busy.  And why I look like I’ve been in a paint ball fight. 🎨🫟 

We do take breaks and wander the yard.  AND we saw 2 young opossums!! 

I heard rustling near the little creek and there they were.   In the 28 years in this house, I’ve seen raccoons, pileated woodpeckers , squirrels  but never an opossum.  Wow!  

Back to painting! Almost done w this bathroom.  One more to go. 

Most of the furniture is gone. So just box or bag the rest in this room. 

The dogs act like they’ve been the ones doing all the work.  They weren’t even supervising!   Starting today to finish a few rooms.  I’m ready to move!  
 

MISSY MISTLETOE AND TAZ

Mistletoe has come a long way since the 2024 Christmas rescue. 

She found her forever home and is very cherished. 

Taz is her brother and she has brought life and a best friend to him.  He loves being w her.  You can often find them together. 

They love looking out the door. (I don’t think they see much w their eyes closed.😜) Missy’s other favorite spot is anywhere close to her mom.  She is Missy’s person. 

Missy’s coat is thick and beautiful now. Both pups have spa days.   What does Missy think about that?  She looks like she wants to tell us something. Lol

Taz is so handsome.  What a sweet boy. 

When they’re done, it’s back to guarding their street. I’m sure they are very diligent.  ❤️
 

MAGOO IN HAWAII

Magoo (Licorice) was part of the Potomac 6 rescue in 2020.  Magoo lived in Virginia after he was adopted. . 

He began to learn how special he was.  He experienced so much love. 

He began a life of travel- Italy, France, and other countries.  

He loved it.  He went w his parents to restaurants and hotels.  He was so good. 

Now he can walk on the beaches of Hawaii.  He can watch the sunset or just relax in his yard under his cabana. 

Life is so good for this beautiful boy.  ❤️
 

LETS VISIT HOME DEPOT

Yesterday Gwennie and Dickens went to two places w me. 

Gweenie and Dickens went to see the ophthalmologist. Dickens has gone there since he came into rescue.  Gwennie had her first appointment yesterday.  She had some red, raw areas around her eyes, so it was time to check it out. 

She didn’t get glasses. 😜. But she did get drops for her dry eye.  She has a healed over ulcer and she also has a genetic cataract. It’s not age related.   We are going to watch it and have a recheck in a few months. 

After that, we went to Home Depot. I put a big blanket in the cart and they had an adventure. 

They had many people want to pet them. They were so good. Maybe I stayed too long, because they both took a nap.  

When we got home, Paddington, Piper and Cinnamon were excited to see them.  Then it was time for another nap.  It was all exhausting. But it was also a good day.  I was very proud of them.  😍

WHERE WERE YOU?

I wondered where some of you celebrated Mother’s Day.  Yum Yum celebrated in Australia on May 10 just like we do in the USA. I looked it up.  Lady Jicky, did you know that you were supposed to have breakfast in bed and be given gifts?  I hope it happened!  😘

Angel and Toffee are in Pennsylvania.  Those faces. (We haven’t had a Toffee in our rescue, so I’ll remember that cute name.) 

Lizzie and Coco- both PVPC alumni, are also in Virginia. 

Buddy lives in Delaware.  He looks a lot like my Piper. 

Po lives in North Carolina.  He looks like he has some training patch on his harness.  He’s one of our adopters granddogs.  

This is Honey Bee.  She’s in California.  Her mom does Peke rescue there. 

Hunter and Jingle celebrated w their mom in Virginia. I fostered both and they became such good friends. I’m happy there were adopted together! 

Percy was admiring his mom.  He lives in Maryland.  (A Christmas rescue Peke.) he was adopted w Tulip (Tinsel).

Rocky, sweet and full of himself, lives in Florida.  He’s an honorary PVPC pup. 

Cody and Holly live in North Carolina.  We have friends all over. 😁. Holly was part of the Christmas rescue.  

Luna and Wiggie live in Virginia, too.  We love Virginia. (Of course we’re a Virginia/Maryland rescue.)
 If you don’t see your area here, share a picture of your pup or your state w us.  It’s fun to see where people- I mean dogs- are from. 😉

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

Toasty’s girl is having finals and quals and assignments.  Toasty is there to cheer her on.  When she’s got a lot on her plate Toasty is there w lot of hugs and encouragement. 💙. I’m going to see how many will post where they are spending Mother’s Day w their special dog/dogs.  Toasty is in New York. 

My gang are all in Virginia and so are my granddogs.

Granger is there for his mom.  He sometimes gets up right beside her.  She doesn’t tell him because he thinks she doesn’t know.  Lol

For all of you dog moms and foster moms, I hope you have a wonderful day.  

I hope your pups give you lots of hugs and kisses today! 😘. Tell us what state or country you’re celebrating.
