MAMA PEPPER

Pepper (aka Peppermint) came into rescue almost 3 years ago.  

Her foster family fell in love w her and adopted her. 💖

Pepper had a new brother join the family this year.  And Pepper became a nanny dog.  She loves her baby! 

And Pepper has a special power.  She keeps the floor clean and I bet everyone thinks the baby is really neat and doesn’t drop any food.  He has them fooled.  He just has Pepper clean it all up. Smart baby!  
 

HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY HUGO

Hugo lives in New York.  He was adopted 3 years ago when his owner could no longer take care of him.  

He has brought his mom so much joy.  He loves walks and is a wonderful companion. 

Autumn is there, too, and it's probably getting close to the no leaves stage.   The colors of autumn always bring me joy.

Happy Birthday Hugo!!   I hope you had some cake.  😉🎂
 

BEAUTIFUL MORNING

Last night, Pippi decided to sleep on a pillow on the couch.   She has steps to the couch and can fly up them and plop in place.   This is how I found her this morning.  

Last night, she was definitely ready for sleep. 

Paddington was there, too, and they slept close together.   

Gwennie decided my side of the bed was a good place to be-- sideways, but she left me a sliver of bed.  LOL 

This morning, we all went outside.  And wow!   The fog was in the trees, and it was as if the morning was saying hello to me.

Sunbeams attempted to come through the trees and fog.   I just stood there, amazed by it all.  

It was a magical way to begin the day in Virginia. 

After they were all done, Pippi said, "Time for breakfast!"   It has been a gift to watch Pippi heal and learn to be with other dogs and hang out with them.  Her personality has blossomed and she has been a joy to have.  A little miracle.   This weekend, she will go to her forever home.   I'm so grateful to have been part of her journey.  

I hope you began the day with beauty.  💛💜   
 

BABY CHEW

Do you remember Chewy who came into rescue in June? 

His owner couldn’t take care of him.  He also had experienced some seizures and needed help. 

He was cleaned up and he was so good.  

He a gorgeous little man. 

He settled right in w his family. 

They all adore him. 

He has so much attention. 

Being held like a baby is wonderful. 

He has a lot of big friends!  

Watch where you step!  It looks like my house but I have just Peke size dogs. 

Double bunked.  Chewy, do you want to make it a triple layer?  

He was nicknamed Baby Chew by his family.  I see why.  A sweet baby who found his forever home. 🥰

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
