PUPPY GROOMING

Sophie and Spencer are almost 5 months old.  They are energy in action.  Ray is in the background. He anted to be in the picture, too. 😍

They know the word “outside” and they run and tear around the yard until they are exhausted. 

A brief nap and they’re ready to start again. 

Sophie and Spencer were groomed this week. Look how beautiful they are!  

These puppies are best friends and it would be awesome if they could stay together.  They absolutely need a playmate to run around w.  They also need a large fenced yard.  If you are interested in adopting, we adopt in Maryland and Virginia and close by.  We require vet and home checks.  No first time adopters. 

If you want a sedate, low energy dog, these dogs won’t fit that bill.  They are all for busy fun fun fun.  They also will need to be groomed regularly.  It’s an absolute necessity. You can message on our Facebook account if you have questions.

AUGGIE--3 YEARS

August "Auggie" came into rescue 3 years ago in August.  

He looks wonderful now. 

When he came in, he had inflamed skin and was given medical treatment.

Even as he was healing, he had the happiest spirit.  That face. 

He loves to be outside with his mom.  She's an incredible gardener.   I wonder what she could do with my yard.  :-)

Life is so good now. 

Auggie, happy third adoptaversary!!  💙

 

WHERE’S PIPPI?

When we’re in the yard, Pippi loves to run to the seating area.  Sometimes, I can’t find her until I get close.  She will get behind the plants, under the chair, close to the x-pen fence.  WHERE ARE YOU PIPPI?  

Even out in the open, she can disappear because she’s so small. She is one I have to stand near when we’re out. She’s so small that I’m concerned an owl might try to pick her up. (Yes that happened to one of our dogs but we were right there and the owl left.)  Where are your dog’s hiding places? 🫣
 

AUTUMN IS COMING

Temperatures have dropped some. It’s the middle of September so autumn will officially begin soon.  Gwennie is posing for her pumpkin picture.  

Cinnamon and Pippi join in.  

Start sending Autumn pictures of your dogs who are ready, too.  Be sure to give their names. 🍂🍁🥮
 

MARLOWE—PLAYMATE?

 

Marlowe has done so well in his foster home.  He’s making good progress on house training.  He loves to be on things. Today it’s a chair.  Silly boy  

We were wondering if he would be a good playmate. 

He has played w Todd, his foster brother. 

His foster mom said he needs some help w other dogs. He can be great and he can also be bossy.  He’s a great boy. Affectionate and sweet.  

He might like to be the only one. 

Marlowe just had a grooming and he’s showing off.  Of course, as a table boy, he jumped on the coffee table for a picture.  We’re looking for a wonderful home for you sweet boy. 🏡

PHOEBE ADOPTED

Phoebe went to her foster home almost two months ago.  Her foster mom had just one dog but Phoebe let him know she was a new boss in town. 🤣  The Pekingese who had been there had all crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Phoebe brought the Pekingese presence back. 

She is 11 years old.  She loves toys and began to round them up. 

Phoebe loves her foster mom and she loves the grandkids, too.  When they come over, Phoebe is so excited!  She plays w gentleness and exuberance- both at the same time. 😍

It’s official.  She is staying there and she is resting easy.  Enjoy your new family sweet girl! 
 

A WEEK OF REMEMBERING

Most of you know that Toasty lives in New York (Brooklyn) now.   He isn't that far from the 9/11 site.   My granddaughter told me there were a lot of remembrance things going on.    

She sent me a picture of the Statue of Liberty from her running path.  

And this.  Brings chills as we remember.  

Toasty is becoming a New Yorker (4 more years of grad school) so he and his girl see it with new eyes.   So many changes in 25 years-- but we still remember.
