HOLLY—ADOPTAVERSARY

Holly was one of Christmas ‘24 pups.  Isn’t she beautiful. 

She has a family who adore her. 

Hello sweet girl.  Getting closer to having your picture taken. 😁

Cody likes having a friend.  It took him a while to get used to having Holly there but now he is fine. 

They beg together. They stick together when they’re doing this.  😜

Holly is so content in her new home and I’m so glad that her mom stays in touch.  Every picture brings a smile to my face. 

Her adoptaversary was in June so I'm a little late.  So it’s really her 13 month-a-versary. Happy day sweet girl.  🌸

 

POPPI JUNE-HAPPY SUNDAY

Poppi June has been in her new home almost 2 weeks.   She was in a shelter with few options.  

My friend had sent her picture and I fell in love.  I thought of one person who might love her.  And now Poppi is such a blessing to her new mom.

She follows her everywhere and has even let Henry, the resident dog, be her friend and playmate.  This blessing came in a 7-pound package.  She may be small, but her spirit is huge.   💜

Happy Sunday!! 

STAYING INSIDE

We won’t spend a lot of time outside today. 

The air index is 162–in the red zone which means unhealthy.  I didn’t realize there were conditions higher than red.  Purple. Maroon. 

So ours will watch the outside from the inside.  

Piper will nap inside instead of watching the deer outside. 

And Gwennie will do her own thing.  Silly girl.  That’s not your spot. 😂
 

TOASTY AND THE FIRES

Toasty lives in New York City and they are having trouble w the fires in Canada. 

The smoke from over 100 wildfires is effecting air quality far away.  I’m surprised how far south it is. 

It’s hard to breathe outside where Toasty lives. 

The city has overcast skies that are from smoke, not clouds. 

At least there is air conditioner which helps.  But, he does have to make visits outside. And those are quick. 

You can see the haze. 

There is no prediction of how long this will continue. 

Toasty will just stay inside and hope the fires are put out soon.  We all hope for that. 
 

DAISY, PRECIOUS GIRL

Daisy came into rescue in January.  She was in a shelter and was so afraid there.   

It was hard to evaluate her there.  We had someone go to see her and

 they said they would foster her.  

She went to Bogie and Rey's home.  There she is.  

Once she was out of the shelter and given time to decompress, she did great.  

She became so comfortable.  Feeling safe is so important. 

Bogie said she could stay and be part of the family.  

And she did! 

Bogie and Rey still get a lot of attention, they said 'What's one more?" 💜

Daisy-- from scared shelter dog to beloved family member.  

Sweet girl! 💗

 

EDDIE-- HOME NOW

Eddie, formerly Kris, was one of the Christmas '24 rescues.  

Like many of that group, he is super sweet and loving.  This picture was shortly after his rescue.   His coat is now long and full and beautiful. 

Last week, he had a medical emergency and was admitted to an emergency hospital.  He was in very critical condition, but everything was done to help him.  

Veterinary Specialty and Emergency was amazing.   They did everything they could-- transfusions, IV fluids and antibiotics.   It was touch and go, but yesterday, Eddie went home!   The clinic is in  Charlottesville, VA and we want to say THANK YOU to them!   

Eddie will need a lot of rest, but he's back HOME!  He was so excited to see Lisa.   

We are SO happy for him!   Continue healing precious boy.   We love you.  💙

GIDGET IS 14

Gidget came into rescue in 2021.  

Her owner was in hospice and could no longer take care of her. 

Gidget came in w her brother. She was 9 and her brother Rocky was 14. 

Gidget had seizures in the past so she began seizure meds once she was in rescue. 

Gidget and Sissy visited w Amee when I was out of town and she fell in love w Gidget.  So I picked up Sissy and left Gidget there. 😁 it was the perfect home for her. 

Gidget was so sweet. 

We discovered she liked to “sing for her people.”  In the vet, if she was left alone, or if she just wanted to be heard.  😂🎶🎼🎵

She became her mom’s work buddy.  She is a great little helper. 

Allie Marie is here w Gidget. They love their dad, too.  Gidget is 14 now and still doing great!   She is such a treasure.
