DAISY FINDS A HOME

Daisy was at a shelter and she was not very cooperative.  She was scared, surrounded by so many dogs and sounds.   So, 2 of our helpers went to evaluate her.  She walked right over to one and got on his lap.  We didn't expect that, but it showed a wonderful side of her.   Some dogs just do not do well at shelters.

She got to her foster home and just observed.  She then tried to play with Bogie and Rey. 

Daisy followed her foster parents around.  She even waited with Bogie at the bottom of the stairs.  She was doing much better. 

She wouldn't let the shelter put a harness on her, but now she goes on walks and is so good. She's been bathed and had a lot of knots cut out.  But, she's going to have a professional groom with one of our board members who is awesome at this.  

Daisy's foster family has adopted 7-9 dogs from us.   I lose count.  They are wonderful owners! 

So, I was thrilled they wanted to keep her.  

Now, she can enjoy a home and love and attention the rest of her life.  💜
 

THURSTON AND THEODORA AND SNOW

Theodora lives in New England, and it can get cold there.  

She's all set up with a warm coat. 

Thurston, her brother is too.  

Normally, they have dry ground to run and play.  Their mom is a master at dog care and so there are often more friends to play with.  

This is their area recently. Look at all that snow!

Theodora and Thurston's mom and dad live further south.

But when they looked outside, they saw this.  

There was white stuff everywhere. 

Don't worry-- they all had safe areas-- that's a lot of shoveling! 

It's better to stay inside unless it's necessary to go out.   It will be awhile before all that melts!  
 

FRESIA AND SCOUT

Fresia and Scout got snow where they live. 

These pictures are from last year but they could have been this past weekend. Scout didn’t look happy w the snow. 

Fresia said it was better inside. 

She’s beautiful just like Scout. 

 Scout had a dental last week. Her mom asked what the record was for losing teeth during the procedure.  I said I thought it was 15- that was Dickens.  Scout lost 11. Peke mouths are so crowded because their teeth are trying to fit into a shorter mouth.  She’s healing nicely and watching the snow from inside.  ❄️😁

THE SNOW WAS A BUST

The weather said we were going to have a big storm-- 8-12 inches of snow.  

Paddington and Piper set up a watch.  They were monitoring the weather. 

Dickens wanted to help. 

They worked together.  

They all cuddled for a nap while the storm made its progress.  

I looked out during the night-- it was really windy.  But I didn't see much snow. 

When we went outside, no one got stuck.  "Where's all the snow?" asked Dickens.  

Well, it just didn't come.   Instead of a lot of snow, we got a small amount, maybe an inch or two.  Just enough to be pretty, but not enough to be dangerous.   It's very cold still, so they all have sweaters.  For now, we'll just stay inside.  ❄❄

BETHANY AND HER FRIENDS

Bethany was one of the Christmas pups.  She came in December 2025 in the first group.  

Sunny and Hannah there before Bethany arrived.  All PVPC alumni now.  Bethany is so much smaller.  

Hannah (on the bottom) loves to play.  She runs around the yard with Bethany, and it helped Bethany feel safe there. She was very timid when we got her.  Sunny is too old for all that activity, so he watched them.  They look like triplets born in different years.  LOL  

Happy Sunday!
 

EDDIE AND MAPLE

Eddie (Kris of the 🎄rescue) said “It’s icy outside.” 

Brock of the West Virginia rescue is Eddie’s brother. Their mom Lisa has helped w a lot of the rescue dogs and she fell in love with these two. 

We were asked to take in this one and she made her way to us on Thanksgiving Day.  Lisa had always wanted a female foster and she wanted an albino if one came into rescue.  Lisa named her Maple.  Like Maple Syrup. And maple syrup is sweet.  Maple was too scared to be sweet.  She’s making progress. 

She fits right in w the rest.  Fancy (the red one) is also there — she’s a permanent foster due to special needs. 

They are all snuggled together inside!   The roads and yards are pure ice.  They might get more snow today.  A big storm is coming in and my area is supposed to get hit.  
 So if I don’t post, it will be because we lost power. Hope we don’t.  Stayed tuned!  ❄️❄️⛄️

TIME IN THE SNOW

Gomez lives in the North East and it's really cold there.  But look at him go in the snow! 

"When can we go outside again?" he says. 

Wicket "Wiggie" is all set for his walk.  He and his mom and Luna, his doggy sister, go on a lot of walks.  

The snow didn't slow them down.   

Ernie belongs to a friend of mine.  He LOVES the snow and going for walks every day is a highlight.   I don't know if more snow is coming this weekend, but I know it will be cold.  So, break out the jackets-- yours and the dogs.  Winter is in full swing here.
