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. 
 

PERCY AND TULIP

Here are Percy (cream) and Tulip. (Of the Christmas rescue, Tinsel and Nicholas) 

Tulip loves to snuggle in the bed. 

His mom says that Percy is a bit of a knucklehead.

 His favorite water bowl is the birdbath on the deck. He waits by the back door to get a drink.  Silly boy.  

Tulip monitors the front of the house from the couch. Her mom thinks there is Tibetan Spaniel in her since likes to perch up high and keep an on eye on things. 

Percy loves Penny (who just turned 19!) and he enjoys being close to her.  Penny is like a mama dog to both young ones. 

 One of Tulip's nicknames is Tiny Dancer for the little dances she does when she’s excited to see her mom.  They are both doing so well in their forever home.   I remember the day I met their mom to give them to her.   I think they knew right away she would be their forever mom and home.   💙💜

 

HAPPY SUNDAY

Toby was all smiles and giving kisses to his new foster mom.   His other foster mom Susan is visiting family out of state so we needed a place for him.  So far, he’s doing great.  

His new foster brother Fin and 

Wasabi and they are happy he’s there.   There will be more adventures. 

Meanwhile at our house, Gwennie has an idea of how to spend Sunday.  Relaxing!   What are your plans today?  

Have a happy Sunday. 🌞
 

TOBY— ALL HEALED

Remember Toby?  He came from a North Carolina shelter. He had been hit by a car.  He needed a rescue who could have surgery done for him. 

He had the surgery done and has his final recheck w the surgeon in a few weeks.   I’m transporting him today w 3 others—a transport train.  He is going to a foster (to maybe adopt) home.   

He is the sweetest boy and we’re taking applications for him. If you’ve been approved, let me know if you’re interested because I have a list of people who have met our requirements.  (I don’t contact each one/ they have to let me know.)  https://potomacpekes.org/adoption-application/

We do not adopt out of our area (a few exceptions have been made but that’s when we know them).  We do not transport or allow them to be transported or flown. 

Toby is precious, loves other dogs and is a joy to have around. 🥰
