TIME AWAY

Time off is not something I do.  It’s very rare for me to leave for a time away.  But I wanted to visit my mom in law so we flew to Missouri for a few days. 

I bagged every meal (w meds) for the 6 dogs and my granddaughter is staying w the dogs.  60 bags of meals.  

The Midwest is so different from Virginia but the people are wonderful.  Especially our family here. ❤️

The view at the her home is so peaceful.  I wish we could be here to see the trees when they change color.  It will be stunning. 

I’m taking time to slow down and just be w family, read a book and maybe take a nap. 😁

I know the dogs are getting a lot of attention from the granddaughter so I’m just taking it easy.  Have you taken a time out lately?  
 

BOGIE AND THE BEACH HOUSE

Bogie was my foster dog six years ago this month.  He’s a beautiful dog. 

He has his own home PLUS a beach house.  He loves his beach house. His sister curls up w him on the couch. 

There’s one problem w the beach house.  

The cat next door likes to torment him.  It’s awful. 😉. Bogie can’t do anything because he’s up on the deck.  Poor Bogie.  The cat knows he’s safe so the harassment continues.  

Your life is perfect Bogie.  Just ignore the cat. 🐈
 

DALLAS AND LEX

Dallas and Lex came into rescue in 2022. They were cherished companions and full of love but their owner passed away and we were asked to help. 

Last month, Lex passed away.  

They were together their whole life, siblings. 

Dallas is receiving extra love and attention as he adjusts to being w out his special brother. 

We’re so sorry and know you’ll be cuddled more a lot. We love you Dallas. 🧡
 

BATH DAY

Yesterday was bath day.  No one was excited. 

Could they hide?  Piper tried. 😉

Where was Pippi?   I was looking all over the yard.  She had disappeared.  She has starting exploring new areas so I’m having to polish my “find the Peke” skills. 

Want to have a bath?  

I did their nails and trimmed their feet.  Piper had his face trimmed.   His hair grows fast.  All six were bathed and put on the deck table to be brushed and blown dry. 

Blowing them dry helps me get a close up of their skin to make sure it’s healthy.  (This helped me find out that Dickens has a skin infection several weeks ago.  His hair is so thick even though he is trimmed some.  He’s on antibiotics or.) 

After they were all done, it was time for dinner.  I took a picture of both sides of me.  

I guess Gwennie wanted to be in both pics because she ran to the other side when I turned. 😂

They were all so good   Paddington turns to jelly on my lap when I dremel his nails   It’s hard to hold a jello dog and get anything done   😂

Gwennie didn’t mind any of it.  She’s such a good girl. 🥰.  They’re all “nice and shiny” now.✨✨

WIGGIE’S SPECIAL PLACE

WIGGIE

Wiggie has a special place he loves to go.  It’s the beach house.   What a lucky boy!  

He loves his best friend Luna. I know she loves having a brother. 

Wiggie likes all kinds of adventures from snow to beach weather. 

Getting special outfits on for the cold can be annoying but we all have to do it. 

He loves his special family and has so much attention. 

He came in before Halloween last year and was adopted w in weeks by a previous adopter.  (I already know previous adopters and don’t have to go through a full adoption application process which is nice.)

I wonder if he will dress up this year or visit a pumpkin patch.  We’ll have to wait to find out. 🧡🎃
 

NONO ON SUNDAY

Nono (Noelle of the Christmas rescue) loves her home.  She wanted to show you some of her toys.   I’m sure she has more. 🧸🪀⚽️. Nono wishes everyone a happy Sunday. 🥰
 

GWEENIE UPDATE

It’s been 3 weeks since Gwennie’s eye surgery. I guess this is what she thinks about surgery. 😂

She saw her surgeon yesterday   Gwennie’s eyes are healing well   They are still swollen but she will continue to heal.  It is just taking a little longer. 

She was so good and they all thought she was cute. She earned a lot of treats. 

We came home and her buddy Dickens gave her moral support- or maybe he was just sharing his bed.  He loves his Gwennie. 💖
