MAPLE

Maple came into rescue on Thanksgiving day last year.  Her foster mom had always wanted an albino Peke. 

Maple has more pink on her face than Toasty.  Different temperament too. 😂. Maple wants to be boss.  She’s doing much better though. She can be close to them now and not get grumpy. 

I think there’s part of another dog’s tail in this picture. 🤣

And she’s going to have more adventures w a school bus!   That should be fun! 🚌. Stay tuned for that. 
 

MARLOWE AND FRIENDS

Marlowe loves being on tables.  His foster mom often  works at the dining room table and he wanted to be beside her. So she made him comfortable by  putting a dog bed up there.  Silly boy. 

Todd, Marlowe’s foster brother, has his own way of relaxing. 😂

And sweet Winter (from the Christmas rescue).  She keeps her mom in her sight all the time.  Winter has really blossomed there.  

Marlowe is available for adoption. Maryland and Virginia areas.

Marlowe is a sweet 8 year old boy.  He is small at 12 pounds. He is currently in a home with two other dogs. He wouldn’t mind being an only dog. He is wearing a belly band as he is learning to be house trained. 
 

BROCK, EDDIE AND MAPLE

Lisa’s Pekes are in the picture:  Maple (lower), then Eddie, and Brock is on top.  Eddie is doing great since his hospital stay. He’s back to his old self. Her Great Pyrenees, Gus, isn’t in the picture. There was no room. 😂

They’re beginning the week-end naps early. Mine are, too!  Hope your week-end is awesome. 

SPECIAL DOGS

So many special dogs. 

I’ve had so many special ones go through our house in the last 23 years   

Too many to count. 

All weren’t Pekingese.  Our precious Callie. 

My Cranberry was part of the family when I began rescue. 

We’ve had as few as 3 and..

As many as 11.  That was a lot.  It was temporary while I found other foster homes. 

My daughter ended up w some. Toasty, Granger, Tuk Tuk. 

Lottie, Bailey, Cranberry—a long time ago. 

Some came w serious illnesses. Some didn’t make it. 

Some fosters stayed.  Some weren’t applied for.  So they didn’t leave.  

A few weren’t even Pekingese.  But they needed help. 

We’ve had all colors of Pekes. 

Scooterbug was like a therapy dog for so many who came to our house. 

Most could see but a lot couldn’t.  Some had partial vision. 

We see a lot of tongues too. 

Some become more special. Some just grab your heart. 

Many are very entertaining. 

So many blessing in little packages. 

GWENNIE AND TOMATOES

The other night, I was at my daughter's home.  I took Gwennie with me. 

She always checks out everything even though she's been there many times.  After checking everything, she went out with Tuk Tuk to run around the yard.  And then...

She found a tiny yellow tomato on the deck.  YUM!

She ate every one of them that were on the ground. She began to look up and saw more on the vine.  

I gave her another one.  

That's all Gwennie.    You've had dinner AND tomato-dessert.  

She was full and perfectly content to hang out on my lap before bedtime.   Isn't that the look of a cherished pup.  💜
 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEPPER

Pepper “Peppermint” came into rescue the same month as Cinnamon.  December 2023. They both were given holiday names. ☃️

Her foster family adopted her. 🥰

They just celebrated her 12th birthday! 🎂

She had dog ice cream.  Yum!  

Bandit and Pepper had a great time w their treat. 🍦

After all the ice cream and fun, Pepper had sweet dreams of a wonderful day. Birthdays are awesome! 
 

DEE GEE

 

Dee Gee is sporting a very fancy e-collar. 

She had surgery and her mom got this for her.  She looks like a flower. 🌸

Dee Gee had this one on first   It was really yard to get a drink.  Most of us are very familiar w this one.

When Toby had surgery, he used the blow up collar. 

He definitely couldn’t get to his stitches that way.

He’s doing so well in his new home.  His coat has grown out and he moves fast!  The surgeon did a great job on repairing his broken bones. 

Sometimes, dogs just need to wear one.  I think we feel worse about it than they do. 

I know Dee Gee’s mom does.  But this one has it all figured out.  She knows how to lay on it so it’s a good pillow.  She’ll be happy when it’s gone though.
