WINTER IN FLIGHT

How can it be the last day in March?  Really??  This year is flying by so fast!  

Winter is so adored in her home, and her mom just sent me a video in slow motion.  I loved it!  

Winter's mom was calling her and she started running!  Todd just stood there.  LOL

And he watched.  

Look at her go!  Left paw up.... almost there!

And this is when she arrived at mom-- who thinks Winter is about the most perfect dog in the world. (I know it almost looks like the same picture but it's not.)  I think we all think that about a dog in our life.  They're all the best!  💜 Don't you agree.  :-)

JOLLY HAS A FRIEND

Jolly (🎄rescue) has been in his home for 15 months.  He was a foster there and was adopted.  He knew his dad couldn’t let him go. It doesn’t seem like the Christmas rescue was that long ago. 

Jolly loves his walks w his dad.  His early walk is when the school bus comes.  Some of the kids love Jolly. 

Jolly has another friend.  A puppy!  The puppy may be a little too active for him. 😅. Look out Jolly. That puppy is going to get so much bigger! 

Have your mom and dad made plans for Easter for you? 

Will you get a basket of treats?  

Just keep looking at your dad like that and he will get you anything you want. 😁

AFRAID OF TOASTY

Toasty and his girl live in New York now.  Look at that face.  He’s adorable.  Can you believe someone in the building is afraid of him.  As in terrified!   That makes zero sense to me. 

So Toasty is just not going to look at him.  Nope. Not going to happen.   The whole thing makes me laugh. 😂😂
 

NONO AND HER SISTERS

This is Nono (Noelle) of the Christmas rescue. 

Her foster parents adopted her and she’s w her big sisters Ren and Mei Mei.  They are often together like this. 

Nono loves to race around and jump couch cushion to cushion w great joy.  She deserves a rest after all that activity—with a toy close by. 😍

I love this picture.  There she is, right in the middle of her sisters.   Nono has a wonderful family now. ❤️
 

GWENNIE—BACK TO THE VET

I’ve been keeping a close eye on Gwennie since I’ve had her.  She had the stomach issues (and dehydration) from eating things she shouldn’t.  All of that is much better.  But I saw a few things that needed a check.  I told her we were headed to the vet. 

She tried to hide.  I can see you Gwennie.  😂

They all had breakfast.  I found out from her previous home that Gwennie liked table food.  That’s a no-go in my house. She has had special food w chicken on a plate. Yes!  She will only eat off a plate w me sitting by her. It’s ok.  I’ll help her. She doesn’t know I’ve been mixing in ground up Hills ID (sensitive stomach food). 

We had some couch time first. Coffee is a must. And look who was beside her. Cinnamon!  Piper joined us too. 

At the vet, Katie heard she was there   She rushed down to get some time w Gwennie.  Katie adores her  there’s even a note on her chart that says this   I love my vet and staff  

The front desk staff had to take turns holding her. 😍

Then we sat down to wait for our turn.  Gwennie still had an ear infection, and it needs more time to heal.  Her spay incision— from 7 weeks ago — was giving her some problems.  That’s very unusual. The stitches have usually dissolved by then.   They found one trying to surface and took care of that. I’m putting some medicine on it until it looks better.  She was so good at the vet. Sweet girl.  She had lost weight when she was sick but she’s gained some back. 

On the way home, a truck pulled out right in front of us.  My brakes stopped us so fast. Gwennie had her seatbelt on and it kept her from being hurt.  I was so grateful. (Only use a seatbelt w a harness.)

Back home, everyone was glad she was back. Even Paddington.  They’ve all done really great together.  I know Gwennie was glad to be back w her friends. 🥰

CINNAMON AND THE INTRUDER

Cinnamon has been pouting since Gweenie arrived. She thinks an intruder has arrived.   When I sit on the couch, she’s always there. But not the past week. 

But yesterday, she came and sat w me. Maybe she’s forgiven me. 

She stayed by me when  Gwennie joined us on the couch. 

Both up there and all was fine. 

Gwennie even did her cute poses. 

I wondered where the boys were.  Piper was on the ottoman but Dickens and Paddington had left the room. 😂  Don’t worry boys. All is well. 😁

2027 CALENDAR PICTURES

CALENDAR 2027

Barbara, our treasurer and calendar maker, sent me this message:

 It may be hard to believe that it is time to start planning for our 2027 PVPC calendar... but it was just about 1 year ago that we made our last photo request.  Gwennie said she could pose. 

This is an open call to submit pictures between April 1 and May 31 for anyone who wants to participate.

If you have any Christmas Pekes, feel free to share an updated photo so everyone can see how great they are doing. If you changed their names, please share both.  Dickens is still Dickens. 

There is no charge to you and if your photo is selected you will receive a free calendar.  Look at sweet Kringle.

Winter has a wonderful life after her Christmas '24 rescue.  

Tulip, aka Tinsel, was one of the Christmas pups.  Look how beautiful she is now. 

Snow Bear is new to rescue and his future looks full of love.   If you have pictures of dogs adopted from us, send them on.  They might end up in the calendar.  

If you have any questions or want to send a picture, send it to Barbara at barbarahoney@hotmail.com.
