JOLLY AND TD

 

Jolly is another of the Christmas pups.  He was only 7.2 pounds when he came to us. He lost weight because he was sick but w great vet care, he rallied. He is about 9 1/2 pounds now.  It shows how thin he was. 

Jolly is timid w people he doesn’t know.  He loves to go for walks, and his routine is to go on a lot of walks.  In the morning, he goes to the bus stop to wait for the bus w the kids.  He doesn’t want them to touch him, but they all talk to him. 🚌

He became very attached to his foster dad and found safety w him. He was more insecure than the rest and had trouble trusting.  Even though he spent time at my house, when I went to visit, he let know I wasn’t his person anymore. 😂

TD helped him.  He keeps an eye out for him. 

TD shared his mom and dad w Jolly. They both love lap time. 

Jolly let us foster parents one that he wasn’t leaving.  They adopted him and he’s very loved there.  Yes he is!  

KODA’S EYE SURGERY

Koda loves his foster to adopt home. He’s the new security dog. 😂

He saw the ophthalmologist again last week and had his eye surgery yesterday. 

He was being goofy before the surgery. It’s behind him now and he has a recheck in 2 weeks.  He hates eye drops but they’re necessary for his eye health.  He’ll get used to them. 

It’s all going to get better from now on. 😍

JACK OF THE CHRISTMAS RESCUE

JACK

Jack was in the first group of the Christmas rescue. 

He had a body score of 2/9 and was thin when we got him.  He needed everything.. and he got it. 

Look at him now. Beautiful!  Look at his hair. His tongue hangs out just like many of the others in that group. 

He is so fluffy now! 

He has discovered toys and loves them. He can collect quite a few on the couch w him. 

He has a best friend now. His brother is Westley. What a happy life Jack has now!  🥰. His mom might be having a July get together of the Christmas group.  That will be awesome!
 

DOGGY DENTALS

Yesterday was busy.  Paddington and Piper had their yearly dentals.  Dentals care is so important for dogs and it gets rid of tartar and makes sure all the teeth are okay.  Pekes have the same number of teeth ss a big dog but in such a tiny mouth.  Some teeth just twist and turn to try to fit.  Paddington stayed sleepy all evening. He kept his head on the water.bowl.  Easier to get a drink I guess. 

Piper was slow but it didn’t stop him from watching that deer in our yard. 

While they were at the vet, carpets were going in at our old house and 

I kept painting cabinets.  Today is another painting day for me.  😩

I think Paddington will be sleeping most of today. 

They’ll all have a quiet day at the new house. 
 

WINTERS NEW LIFE

I’ve been getting updates on the Christmas ‘24 rescues. 

Winter came in the second group. She came into rescue very timid.  Her forever family had just lost one named Bailey. Their hearts were broken. So they applied to PVPC. 

Winter let Todd know right away that she wanted to be boss. Little Stinker. 😂. Todd didn’t care. He was just glad to have a new friend. 

Winter began to heal the family’s broken hearts.  She responded to all the attention and love. 

Within a few weeks, two adults and 3 teen daughters, were finding joy again. Winter was blossoming, too.  She felt more secure.  She had found her family. 

Winter went from being a hoarding dog to being a little princess. 🥰
 

FINNEY AND WASABI

Robin and I have known each other a long time. We’ve both fostered for many many years.  She fostered and adopted Finney.  He came into rescue in 2019 when his mom had to go into assisted living.  

Last August, Wasabi needed a home. I thought he was a tiny one. Nope, he’s a little chunk.  Robin ordered these prints of her boys.   Have you had pictures printed or painted of your dog?  I have a painting of Lexie that was such a gift to me.  Show  us yours if you have one. . 😁  Have a happy Sunday!

 

IT’S DONE

Moving day was yesterday.  The dogs protested not be able to help.  They wanted to give directions to the movers on what could go. 

They saw the truck pull up.  They watched from the door, unable to stop the men from taking all their stuff.  Oh no!

Rooms emptied out. The kitchen table was gone! 

The walls full of books were emptied and the boxes were gone. 

At the new house, they were banished to the bathroom.  They were helpless!   I was being so cruel.  No escaping here.  Paddington did get stuck behind a box once the movers were gone.   Unpacking and figuring out where things go, and what won’t fit will be a process.  I’ll have to go back to the old house to get the clothes and whatever is left.  Fun. 😬

The dogs were exhausted.  They slept well. Good pups!
