PEKE FOR AN HOUR

I told my guys I was headed to a shelter to help a dog. 
A friend had a doodle.  And his doodle wanted a friend.  So my rescue buddy Susan looked for one at the shelter.  And that’s where Hazel was. 
Luke came to see who his new sister might be. 
Hazel is so sweet, not even 2 so she is very puppy like. She met Luke and they did fine. 😍
It was official.  They were now brother and sister. She was a Peke for an hour. πŸ˜‚
I love to be able to help a dog who isn’t a Peke.  Finding a home for any needy animal is heart warming. Welcome to your new life sweet girl!

ANOTHER GRANDDOG

Dave is one of my granddogs.  I have Gigi, a chocolate lab, Tuk Tuk, Granger and Toasty.  All PVPC alumni.  

Lily is a medium mix who is Dave’s sister. She thinks she can catch the birds flying above the yard.  Nope!
Dave is over 100 pounds but he’s a big baby.  
It was raining and he didn’t want to go out.  When there was snow it was worse. 
Rain rain go away. He thinks the world hates him.  
Mom, do something!  
Dave can look so forlorn. Poor blockhead baby hippo. 
Dave hasn’t met my Pekes.  His 100 pound body could squash them. So they stay home when we visit Dave. He’s a rescue too.  I think rescues are the best dogs. πŸ₯°. Do you have big dogs w your Pekes?

A NOTE FROM TOASTY’S GIRL

My granddaughter and Toasty live in New York.  You won’t find a more loved Peke.  She absolutely adores him and it’s mutual.  When they first met, there were about four of us there.  Who did Toasty go to?  His girl.  
He walked right up to her and put his face next to her face. He chose her.  So he got to go with her.  She walks him a lot and she’s done training w him.  The trainer was amazed and how fast he learned commands.  I think food was involved. πŸ˜‚

However… (remember this is all a joke), she said he abuses her.  He has begun putting his paw on her face.  Sometimes it’s more of a whack.  Is this physical abuse? πŸ˜‰

She said he also doesn’t help w the rent, does not help clean, doesn’t pay for food.  Isn’t this financial abuse?   He also tried to keep her from her work (working on her PhD.)  Another finance issue?  There is also emotional abuse. He doesn’t always want her to go out. His face makes her feel badly.  (All Peke lovers know that face!)

L
Toasty could really trash himself when the snow was melting and he wanted to be in the dirty melting spots.  Oh my. Time abuse. 
Of course she had to bathe him after that adventure.  Soaking his girl— that’s some kind of abuse. We just don’t know which one. 🀨
Of course, this is all in fun!  Toasty sometimes hogs the covers, steals her pillow and sits on her face while she’s sleeping.  No matter.  This dog can get away w anything.  He is so loved. πŸ₯°

SO MANY FRIENDS

I was deleting a lot of pictures in my phone.  Where I might use one in a blog, there are probably 10 that I haven’t use.  I noticed I had so many “friend pictures.”  Here are Wasabi and Fin. 
Taz and Missy Mistletoe have become besties.  Guard duty!
Hunter and Jingle keep their mom busy!  Hunter was full of energy at my house and he has continued his epic energy w his mom.  He’s like Tigger. πŸ˜‚
Cinnamon and Paddington are together a LOT. 
Jelly and Snickerdoodle are so attached. Always touching.  
There they are again.  Cinnamon is a small one. Everything she does is so cute. 
Granger and Tuk Tuk.  Tuk can run circles around Granger.  That’s okay.  We knew Tuk was a wild man. 
Cinnamon and Dickens ate together a lot.  While Piper and Paddington are guarding from their ottoman, Cinnamon and Dickens are always w me on the couch while I have my morning coffee.   This morning followed that routine. Pekes, book and coffee.  I love beginning the day like this. 😍 πŸΎπŸ“–☕️

BRUCE IS ADOPTED

Bruce came into rescue in January. He was a special need request from a shelter near me.  He was a medical dog.  He has a heart murmur and a mouth of bad teeth.  He needed rescue.  
He came to us and after seeing the vet, we knew his murmur was not as bad as we thought. So we could go ahead w a two stage dental.  He lost 20 teeth and feels so much better w a healthy mouth. 
Saturday, he was off to meet his new mom.   She had agreed to adopt him before we even knew what his condition would be after his medical was done.  She wanted him regardless of how he would be.  She has adopted before and was a wonderful owner for the two seniors she had adopted before. 
Bruce was so good on his car ride to meet her.   I love this picture.  His sweetness just shines out. 
He met his dog cousins, Tulip and Percy (from the πŸŽ„rescue).
Bruce liked his new mom right away.  
They visited with his new mom’s sister and then they were off to his new forever home.  He is so precious. ❤️

LUDO AND TOBY


Ludo (aka Fizziwig πŸŽ„) and Toby (Gabriel πŸŽ„) are boys from the Christmas rescue.  They know real men can wear pink. πŸ’–πŸ’–
Ludo was being guarded by two Chihuahuas.  He wasn’t bothered.  Pekingese are very good at napping.  
They are also good at snuggling.  Toby and Ludo love that they were adopted together.  It makes me feel so happy to see pictures like this.  I bet it makes you happy too!  
HAPPY SUNDAY!  πŸŒž

SCRUFFY—WHAT A LIFE

SCRUFFY
Scruffy came into rescue a year and a half ago.  
Scruffy was a 4 1/2 month old puppy at a shelter we work with.  He was a stray and no one came.  
They asked if we could help and we knew a puppy would be adopted quickly. 
He was an adorable puppy and he went to a foster to adopt home.  
He is in constant motion now. There are working dogs on the property and puppies are there.  
Scruffy loves them and has convinced the puppies to play w him.  
He plays w little Tim too. Good friends!  He’s sweet and gentle.  His mom said “He still loves to bounce. He has taken a lot off the counter when we aren’t looking.  He loves to climb on the back of the chair and look out the window.  We should have named him Tigger from Winnie the Pooh.”
Scruffy is very loved by his family. He is a daddy’s boy.  
I’m so glad PVPC was able to help him. ❤️
