GUINNIE IS FEELING BETTER

Guinnie came into rescue on Saturday.  She wouldn’t eat and I didn’t see her drinking much.  We were told that she was 7 but the vet agreed w me that she was probably only 4-5 years old. 

She went to Williamsburg w me on Sunday. She didn’t act like she felt well.  (She was hanging out w Tuk Tuk.)

I found out why she was feeling well when up came 2 pieces—one was a piece of rubber and the other a small strip. 

Then this came up. 

It was over 2 inches long.  I can’t imagine how she swallowed it.  She did take some water but her stomach was very upset. Monday I took her to the vet. 

She had X-rays to make sure no other objects were in her tummy. The X-rays showed she definitely had distress.  She had fluids and Cerenia.  We also did a full panel bloodwork.  It turned out great!  Katie carried her a lot and gave her lots of kisses. ❤️

The vet said to bring her back yesterday if she wasn’t better.  So back we went for a “stay-day.”   She had IV fluids all day and they got her to eat a few things. She was very popular w everyone in back and was carried around a lot. I picked her up around 6:00. She had the look of being very insulted w me! 😂 I had already cooked plain chicken.  And she ate some!

Then she decided to explore the fireplace.  

It was all very interesting.  

An adventure exploring.  That was all she had energy for. I think she will be much better today.  

She loved getting snuggles w me on the couch. 

Off to sleep after a long day. 💤💤
 

WELCOME SNOW BEAR

Snow Bear is under 4 years old. Don’t let the “sad face” fool you. He is very happy and his tail wags a lot.  His owner requested help because he had been accidentally dropped. 

He couldn’t walk well, his back legs bent behind him and he was dragging them. 

We hoped another rescue could take him but he came to us.   I have a temporary foster for him while he goes through neurology testing, possible MRI and possible surgery. After that, I’ll need another foster since his current foster mom is moving.  

We hope he will be able to walk well soon.  In the meantime, he is being loved and cared for. He’s a sweet boy.  
 

WELCOME COCO

Guinnie and Coco came in on Saturday.  I have Guinnie and Coco is in a foster to adopt home. 

She’s a little one and bouncy sweet.  Like Guinnie, she was an Amish breeding dog. 

We met the owner in Richmond.  It was really hard for him but he wanted the best for them.  I was touched by how much he cared.   

Coco was so relaxed that she rolled over on her back on her foster mom’s lap. 

Yep, she liked her foster dad too. 

Her foster dad said, “she’s  a follower, can do the sofa doggy stairs and slept at Robins feet. She also likes curling up with me on the chair. She's a gentle soul that just wants love.”

Her new friend is Elwood, adopted in 2014.  Lizzie, adopted in 2019, is miffed. lol.  But she’ll soon realize that Coco is her new best friend. ❤️. Welcome to rescue Coco! 🥰
 

WELCOME GUINNIE

Yesterday was a long rescue day.  I'll share more about it later.  We took in 3 and this one is younger than we were told, I think.  We'll see.  She is very sweet, but a little grumpy with the dogs.  She played with the other dog where she came from, so she'll eventually be fine.  

Happy Sunday!
 

PEPER—EASTER IS COMING

Pepper came into rescue ins December 2023. The same month as Cinnamon. 😍

She was thin and anxious. What was happening. 

She’s a beautiful girl who is now so loved. 

Yep. She sleeps on the bed. (So do mine!). Where do your dogs sleep?

Easter is coming soon and Pepper is ready w her bunny ears.  She’s adorable! 🐰🐰
 

CALYPSO AKA OLIVIA

This is Calypso “Callie” now.  She was Olivia when I had her. She’s full grown and filled out.  She has kids there and she’s so great w them.  

When she was w me, she wasn’t a year old.  She is a mini Australia Shepherd.  So she had a lot of energy.  She still does. 

I had her the same time as Birdie Bee.  They had a blast together. 

Callie has a lot of space outside to burn off her energy. She has other dogs, too.  Ludo (Fizziwig of the 🎄) and Toby (Gabriel🎄) are there too. But they don’t have her level of energy. I’m sure they watch her. 😂.  Helping “pretend Pekes” has been fun. Finding any dog a new home makes all of us at PVPC smile. 😁

BUSY WITH RESCUING

Yesterday was so busy w rescue.  I have a lot going on in my life-like moving houses.  But we’ve had 3 requests for help.  I can only do this if someone volunteers to help.  Foster to adopt homes really help. I can’t be the back up person like I’ve been able to do in the past. 

Two females and one male.  Our rescue is small but we’re trying to help.  

We’re rescuing love.  That’s what they are. ❤️. I’ll share more later.
