SNICKERDOODLE AND JELLYBEAN

Snickerdoodle (brown) and Jellybean were two more of the Christmas 2024 Rescue. They are the only ones who don’t have a holiday name.   We were having fun naming them. 
Their foster mom said they are both so sweet. 
They like to help w the laundry. This group has a lot of agility to get on things. I think they had to in order to get around the house they were in. 
They are happy and sweet girls. 
They love to cuddle. 
They have begun medical and so far all is good. 
The girls would love to stay together when they are adopted. 💕💕

IT’S CROWDED

Paddington has officially declared me crazy. 

His entire life here has been one foster after another.  Usually 1 at a time. 
But this time I brought a crowd in.  
They’ve taken over Piper and Paddington’s ottoman. Tragedy!
But then, one tried to get in the bed w Paddington.  ðŸ˜³
And then another.  I knew what was coming so I quickly grabbed Paddington.  He was very content in my lap. 
The two left didn’t mind.  More room for them.

Another came!
Pretty soon the whole gang was in Paddington’s bed.  I told him some were leaving this week-end. That made him feel better. 😉

BUSY DAY

It’s been BUSY at my house. Lots of surgeries, eye appointments, meds, and care.  
Some will go to their other foster homes this weekend. 
I have no dog appointments today!!  Yay! 
And if you need a shredder, Hunter is your guy.  He’s a great work helper.   All will be ready for forever homes once their medical is done. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

GABRIEL TO THE OPHTHALMOLOGIST

Gabriel was in the first group of the Christmas 2024Rescue.  
Gabriel is underweight but eating well.  Most of these dogs have to be fed 3 times a day.  

We went to the ophthalmologist yesterday. His left eye is so small. 

Gabriel is so sweet.  I usually find him piled in w his fellow rescues. 
Many of this group had untreated eye injuries.  Some have limited vision but like Cinnamon, they have no trouble getting around. 
Gabriel is incredibly sweet.  He loves to be held and take naps on your lap. 
The good news is he doesn’t need eye surgery.  His small eye is most like the result of an injury but it wasn’t treated. His injury caused his eye to shrink down.  Hs not uncomfortable.  His other eye needs tacrolimus to help him produce tears.  And both need a lubricating med.  It’s  such new news.  We love these victories.

WHEW, RESCUE

Rescue is a labor of love.  You can love so many wonderful dogs. And you watch them go from timid and afraid….
To being so relaxed that they almost slide off the arm of the couch. 🥰
W some that look so much alike, I have to initial the bowls.  It keeps me straight. lol 
I’ve been at the vet A LOT the past few weeks.  And I’ve had several urgent appointments w the vet.  The new group of Pekes we have is the largest group PVPC has ever helped with.  Getting files set up, registering all the microchips, making appointments, washing dogs, giving meds…. I’m not the only one helping. We have some incredible fosters homes  and several have taken in extra dogs so that they could have a chance at the life they should have had all along.

My own dogs have been so good. They’re not used to sharing w so many.  Some of the new ones will move to other foster homes this week.  
Two cone heads w their tongues out. So cute. We had four surgeries last week.  We still have eye appointments and dentals to go.  
They’re all making progress, making themselves at home and even trying to balance sit on the edge of the couch. Silly boy.  Rescue is hard.  And rewarding. And full of love. It changes lives- dogs and people.  It’s been a gift to be part of it for so many years. ❤️

FRESIA AND SCOUT-SNOW!

FRESIA saw some of that snow that fell this past week.  We haven’t had much snow the last few years. “What is this stuff?”

We didn’t get much where I live but it was still pretty. 
Granger loved it. He put his nose in it and rolled around. 
Scout, Fresias sister, got some on her chin and feet and… Their mom said they are ready for the Iditarod.😉  ðŸ›·❄️❄️

A DAY IN RESCUE 🎄

This Christmas 2024 Rescue is the largest we’ve ever done in over 36 years of rescue.  
They are in multiple foster homes in Maryland and Virginia.   We have great people who know Pekes and are helping.   
I’ll be introducing each one in future blogs. 
I set up meal kennels. Can’t feed too many in the same place or there will be conflict. 😆 a riot might be a better term.  
Hunter is asking what is happening.  But there’s a good thing. He and Jingle play a lot in the yard and house. 
There are 5 Pekes in this pile. They lay all over each other. 
With e-collars on  because of neuters, a large pasta bowl helps them drink. 
Where I go, they go. 
If I’m reading and having coffee at the table, they are bundled together. 
They are all sweet and making progress in house training.  Yay!
One sees the ophthalmologist next week. A few go the following week.  We make progress one day at a time. 

Thank you to all who have helped and donated.
