TOGETHER- CINNAMON AND PADDINGTON

I think most of us love Cinnamon.   

We love her story.  

She came to rescue last December and that's why she got the "Cinnamon Cookie" name.  

She joined Callie, Piper and Paddington.

She guards the door with Paddington and Piper.

I call them the Three Musketeers.

From the time Cinnamon came, she loved these two.

But when she came into rescue last year.....

even though she loved Piper, too......

even though she often laid with both of them....

She loved Paddington the best.  

She followed him.  

She can't see well, but she could find Paddington.   Paddington was like her seeing eye dog.

She didn't seek Piper or Callie.  

It was always Paddington.    He is her protector.  

They are often touching.  

Cinnamon definitely chose Paddington.  And maybe it's because he chose her.   He doesn't usually do that.  In fact, he's never done that.   But Paddington adores her.   I love that.  💜💙
 

CHU CHU “CHEWY”--MAMA'S BOY

Chu Chu "Chewy" was part of the Maryland 5.  All the dogs had Star Wars names-- Chewbacca, Leia, Padme, Jabba, and Rey.  You all know Jabba-- he's now Tolstoy  "Toasty."

He was adopted last year and now lives in NC with a Peke loving family.

He was at my house for a while before he went to Richmond for fostering.

Chewy has a little sister (who is older and adorable) and they get along.   But he would like a playing friend.  We are keeping our eyes out for a Peke for them. 

He is a Mama's boy.   Both his parents work from home, so he's rarely alone.  That's awesome.

 All of the Maryland 5 were so sweet.  The whole group was beautiful.   Just wait Chewy-- I'm looking for a girlfriend for you.  💜
 

HUNTER-- TIGGER?

Hunter has been w me over a week.  

He came to rescue -- and like most, there were things we could do to help him.  His bloodwork is getting better.  We are still working on housetraining but he's making progress.  

I'm seeing some definite resemblance to Tigger.   You know-- the bouncy, trouncy,,,

The more I've read it, the more it sounds like Hunter.  LOL

"The wonderful thing about tiggers

Is tiggers are wonderful things!

Their tops are made of rubber,

Their bottoms are made of spring! (Yes, Hunter can BOUNCE!)

They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,

Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun...but, (Hunter's tail is always wagging, and he wants  fun!  And love!)

The wonderful things about tiggers is: 

I'm the only one, I'm the only one.  

Hunter LOVES attention.  He loves to be on your lap. But… he can also be part kangaroo and part octopus.   He can whirl and run, walk right by your feet and get in the way.  He is so busy!!  (Still kind of like Tigger.)  He is a puppy after all.  He could be anywhere from 6 months to 9 months.  There’s no way to tell.   He’s all puppy energy.  

Good thing he’s so sweet. If you need help, he’s right there.  Did I mention he's RIGHT THERE?

Need the sheets changed?  He’s your guy.  

Hunter was so timid at first but now he’s getting more secure and he raids the toy container.  

He isn’t a Tigger-kangaroo-octopus all the time. A lot of the time,  he’s quiet and calm, and he’s a sweetheart.  Puppies do have to rest.  Good boy Hunter. 🥰🐾
 

LOUIE AND LADY

Louie and Lady heard-- or smelled-- their dad cooking in the kitchen.   They are both seniors now, but nothing is wrong with their smelling ability.  

This is Karma, their mom's grand dog.   They all do fine together.  Karma is the sweetest girl!   She gets to visit a lot.  Look at that smile!

Louie and Lady are telling everyone to have a happy Sunday.  🌞

 

FAREWELL GUINNESS

Guinness came into rescue in 2023.   He was such a beautiful and sweet boy, we couldn't imagine why he was in a shelter. 

Several of us met Rita in Williamsburg, had lunch and she adopted her boy in November last year.  Off he went to his new life. 

Rita said, "he was a sweet and gentle boy who stuck to me like my shadow and loved everyone. "

We thought he was perfect.  😍

He had outfits to keep him warm when it was cold.   

He and his mom went to Florida in the winter, but it was still chilly there.   

He loved his toy to cuddle with.

His smile was contagious.   Just looking at him made us want to smile back.

He was so easy going.   

He met dogs and people on his walks-- everyone was a friend.

Guinness began having kidney disease.   He was doing well and had all the care he needed-- and more.  

He began going down recently and was hospitalized several times.  He was not eating and he let him mom know it was time.  It's the hardest message to receive from a beloved pet. 

Guiness crossed the Rainbow Bridge. He is back home now but forever present in Rita's heart-- and many others who loved him.   Run free sweet one-- see Cash and Mattie and Benjamin-- all PVPC Pekes who were there to meet you.  💙

DEE GEE

Diamond 💎 Dee Gee has settled right into her new home.  She also has a new favorite toy. Her best bunny. 

She has mastered falling out of her bed.  Pekes are so good at that! 

She has new outfits to keep her warm as winter approaches.   (Share your pets winter clothes with us.)

She has done so well. One of her brothers watches over her and one is kind of grump. 🤣. She has wiggled her way to sleeping between her mom and dad’s pillows.  That didn’t take long! 😜
