CALYPSO AKA OLIVIA

This is Calypso “Callie” now.  She was Olivia when I had her. She’s full grown and filled out.  She has kids there and she’s so great w them.  

When she was w me, she wasn’t a year old.  She is a mini Australia Shepherd.  So she had a lot of energy.  She still does. 

I had her the same time as Birdie Bee.  They had a blast together. 

Callie has a lot of space outside to burn off her energy. She has other dogs, too.  Ludo (Fizziwig of the 🎄) and Toby (Gabriel🎄) are there too. But they don’t have her level of energy. I’m sure they watch her. 😂.  Helping “pretend Pekes” has been fun. Finding any dog a new home makes all of us at PVPC smile. 😁

BUSY WITH RESCUING

Yesterday was so busy w rescue.  I have a lot going on in my life-like moving houses.  But we’ve had 3 requests for help.  I can only do this if someone volunteers to help.  Foster to adopt homes really help. I can’t be the back up person like I’ve been able to do in the past. 

Two females and one male.  Our rescue is small but we’re trying to help.  

We’re rescuing love.  That’s what they are. ❤️. I’ll share more later.  
 

VISITING ELWOOD?

Elwood was adopted in 2014. I can’t believe it’s been 12 years!

Lizzie was adopted in 2019 from us.  They are both sweet dogs.  I chat w their dad often on line so I get updates.  

He’s doing the same thing I’m doing.  PAINTING!  

Elwood is still the sweetest boy.  I saw him in the fall and I just might see him this weekend. 

Elwood’s “cousin” is also black and white.  Just a bit larger. 😂

See you soon guys. (That’s Dickens w them.). 
 

MOVING IS WORK

Dickens says “What is going on?” I’m coming and going and they stay home.  I’m never gone long but each time I leave, I take stuff. They probably wonder why. 

My grandkids came over to help.  My granddaughter has an awesome truck. 

She helped put up some film on some of the windows.  We left the top windows clear so we could see the trees outside.   I have trees where we are now, so I love having trees at our new place.  There are a lot of trees.  ❤️

At home, I’ve begun painting.  I’m not a best painter. I wear the paint.  It’s lovely. 😂😂

The thing about painting.  It gets so much worse before it gets better.  Do you paint?   Are you a neat painter? 

So far, the dogs have steered clear of the paint.  Usually Pekes help w their tails and ears.  So far, the paint has stayed on me or the wall. 

Piper comes to view my progress but he stays far away. Lol.  Let’s see if this continues.  I’m sure that will change.  I have a lot more painting to do.  And fluffy tails and ears will probably be involved. 
 

WHAT COLOR?

Do you have a favorite Peke color?   I’ve fostered every color there is. These are pekes from long ago. It’s Lottie, Bailey and Cranberry.  They were ready for leprechauns to appear. 

Hunter isn’t a Peke but I’ve fostered black and white Pekes. Jingle (and his fellow brothers and sisters who came in w him)  were either shades of brown or an off white like Jingle. 

Daisy is a light buff. And her coat is thick.  Pekes can have long hair, short hair, straight and even some curls. (Paddington has an area on his back that is curly.  The rest of his hair is straight. Anyone else’s Pekes have curls? 

Fresia also has some light buff in her coat. She is mostly off white. 

My precious senior boys from several years ago, Max and Kai Kai.  Max had a lot of brown and a lot of gray when he was almost 17. 

Kai Kai (before he lost both eyes) was a stunning shade of deep red. He also had black tips on the hair.  He was so beautiful.  I’ve never seen another Peke like him.  He was one of my heart dogs. ❤️

Cranberry Muffin was off white  w some light brown highlights on her ears. She was a Peke w an opinion.  She would ignore any new foster who came.  She would sit on the stairs and look down w distain. 😂. Then she realized that everyone but her was having fun. So she joined them.  Silly girl. 

Toasty is an albino.  Some people might call him leucistic but leucistic Pekes can have brown eyes. Albinos cannot. Everyone knows Tuk Tuk. He is all black except for some white on his legs.  Try finding him at night!  Lol 

My Sissy was mostly black until gray began around her face. Many love black Pekes the most.  They are beautiful. 

Lexie was a tri-color.  Brown, black and white. She was a beautiful little girl. (My first IMHA dog.)

Starlight (w my granddaughter) was a parti color.  She was mostly white w breaks of light brown.  She was little, fluffy and one of PVPC’s favorite Pekes.  

And Paddington. The Pad. Bad Pad.  He and Cinnamon are reds. Cinnamon is darker but sometimes when they lay together, it’s hard to tell where one stops and the other begins.  What is your favorite color Peke?   For me, ALL of them. 🥰
 

GRACE’S BIRTHDAY

Gracey came into rescue a year ago this month. 

Her family asked us to help her. She was a little one. 

Her new mom celebrated Gracey’s 2nd birthday last week. 

Gracey had an awesome birthday cake.  🎂. And presents! 🎁

Happy birthday Gracey!  I know you and your family had a happy party! 🎈🎈
 

PEKE FOR AN HOUR

I told my guys I was headed to a shelter to help a dog. 

A friend had a doodle.  And his doodle wanted a friend.  So my rescue buddy Susan looked for one at the shelter.  And that’s where Hazel was. 

Luke came to see who his new sister might be. 

Hazel is so sweet, not even 2 so she is very puppy like. She met Luke and they did fine. 😍

It was official.  They were now brother and sister. She was a Peke for an hour. 😂

I love to be able to help a dog who isn’t a Peke.  Finding a home for any needy animal is heart warming. Welcome to your new life sweet girl!
