HOME AGAIN

Gwennie and the Runamuck gang did great while I was gone.

Pippi has become more active and it’s funny to see her excited and racing back and forth from room to room. All the dogs know my granddaughter well and she was sometimes “attacked” by a group of them. 

I relaxed and decompressed while I was out there.  

One morning the fog rolled in and it was beautiful. I sat on the porch w a blanket for my morning coffee. 

The sunset welcomed me back home. This was from my plane seat  

Piper, Gwennie, Cinnamon and Paddington slept w us last night.  Pippi was playing and Dickens was under the bed.  They were glad we were home. 

MY BIRTHDAY

My birthday was yesterday and so many wished me happy birthday.  Suzee Wu was one.  She even wore a birthday hat. 

Toasty says “I wanted to celebrate.”   We’ll celebrate later. 😘 love you sweet boy. 😘

Of course mine will celebrate w me today.  They are in this years calendar.  (If you would like to order one, they are $20 each w $5 postage. Send your request to

Granger and Tuk Tuk are wondering if there is cake. 🎂

Hunter and Jingle look sweet and wished me a happy birthday.  I know they’re usually not this still. 😂

Ben and Jerry look so much like our puppy fosters Sophie and Spencer. 😁. Their mom sent a birthday message. 

My cousin lives in Texas and she has a lot of animals.  Here’s two of them. Aren’t they cute!  

Sweet Kringle wished me happy birthday, too.  He had his mom write the message. ✍️📝

Taz and his Christmas rescue sister.. 

Missy “Mistletoe” also sent birthday greetings. 

Zeke sent one w my name on it.  He’s a sweet boy that I picked up after driving w another new foster dog.  A full day.  🐾🐾

Gracey— a sweet high-energy pup was adopted by wonderful long term PVPC adopters.  Gracey may be looking for another friend.  🥰

Thank you for all the birthday greetings!  🎂🎉
 

SOPHIE AND SPENCER

Sophie and Spencer were neuter/spayed and are just about ready to be adopted.  

For the puppies, rainy days are awesome.  So are hoses   💦💦. 🌧️

Any combination of dirt and water is awesome!!  

Just ask them. 

They nap some but most of the time, they are ready to run around and play.  If you want a calm sedate dog, these aren’t the ones. Nope.  

They’re good for baths and they get them often after they get as dirty as they can. 😂😂  These two are very loving puppies.  They are almost 6 months old.  They’re aren’t Pekingese but I’m so glad we could take them into rescue.  🐾
 

HOLLY AND CODY

 Holly and Cody, you ready for cooler temperatures and leaves falling?  I think all the dogs are, since we had a hot summer.  Fireplaces, sweaters, sweatshirts.  I’m ready!  Are you? 🍂🥮

TIME AWAY

Time off is not something I do.  It’s very rare for me to leave for a time away.  But I wanted to visit my mom in law so we flew to Missouri for a few days. 

I bagged every meal (w meds) for the 6 dogs and my granddaughter is staying w the dogs.  60 bags of meals.  

The Midwest is so different from Virginia but the people are wonderful.  Especially our family here. ❤️

The view at the her home is so peaceful.  I wish we could be here to see the trees when they change color.  It will be stunning. 

I’m taking time to slow down and just be w family, read a book and maybe take a nap. 😁

I know the dogs are getting a lot of attention from the granddaughter so I’m just taking it easy.  Have you taken a time out lately?  
 

BOGIE AND THE BEACH HOUSE

Bogie was my foster dog six years ago this month.  He’s a beautiful dog. 

He has his own home PLUS a beach house.  He loves his beach house. His sister curls up w him on the couch. 

There’s one problem w the beach house.  

The cat next door likes to torment him.  It’s awful. 😉. Bogie can’t do anything because he’s up on the deck.  Poor Bogie.  The cat knows he’s safe so the harassment continues.  

Your life is perfect Bogie.  Just ignore the cat. 🐈
 

DALLAS AND LEX

Dallas and Lex came into rescue in 2022. They were cherished companions and full of love but their owner passed away and we were asked to help. 

Last month, Lex passed away.  

They were together their whole life, siblings. 

Dallas is receiving extra love and attention as he adjusts to being w out his special brother. 

We’re so sorry and know you’ll be cuddled more a lot. We love you Dallas. 🧡
