WELCOME NOVEMBER

Koda, Halloween is over but I have to say your costume was adorable!!  

Good morning to November!! 🍂🍁
 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Tobe is Gayle’s pup.  There is no love for Halloween w this boy.  His mom wrote this: “Tobe can barely contain his enthusiasm for his least favorite holiday… Halloween! Just can’t put my finger on why he isn’t a fan!!!”  😂🎃

What are you trying to be Kringle!   You remind me of that kids show YEARS ago where she looked through a mirror.   Of course, it was just a big circle. lol 

Maggie Mae and Coco. 💖. Do you get many trick or treaters??  I don’t think they’ll be afraid of you. 

Joey is available in case anyone needs help w a fire. 😉. He’s adorable in his fireman hat!  

Jingle that is some outfit!   Are you keeping an eye out for  little ones coming to receive candy?   They will love you! 

Share your Halloween pictures w us.  🎃🎃 we’d love to see you pet all dressed up !  

 

GWENNIE AND PIPPI

Gwennie had another eye check up yesterday.   She's had an unusual path in her healing.  She has been seen more than we expected. 

Just for fun, I took Pippi to see how she would do.   She was so good, I was very proud of her. 

Gwennie tried to go out with several dogs.  Such a traitor!  LOL 

Waggles was there, too.   She was a small Bulldog/Pit mix and so sweet!   Gwennie was interested in meeting her and they both had wagging tails.  I talked to her mom and found that she had done bulldog rescue for 30 years.  I'm at 23 1/2 years.  We shared stories.  That was nice. 

The girls were both interested in the large bulldog across the waiting area.  They were both so cute there, easy going.   Gwennie had her checkup and the ophthalmologist that I've seen for years was there.   After finishing Gwennie, he said he'd check Pippi, too.  No charge.  I found that Pippi's eyes were good.  He recommended for her to be seen again in a year.  Gwennie isn't quite healed yet and I have to make a report on her by phone, in ten days, and then take her back in January for another checkup to see if they have healed.   Her surgery doesn't usually have complications, but she did.  It's okay.  We'll keep up her meds and eye care.  

When we got home, Paddington made sure Pippi was okay.  So sweet.   

Today, I don't have to go anywhere.  Yay!   There's plenty to do here though.  LOL 
 

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.
