MISSY MISTLETOE AND TAZ

Mistletoe has come a long way since the 2024 Christmas rescue. 

She found her forever home and is very cherished. 

Taz is her brother and she has brought life and a best friend to him.  He loves being w her.  You can often find them together. 

They love looking out the door. (I don’t think they see much w their eyes closed.😜) Missy’s other favorite spot is anywhere close to her mom.  She is Missy’s person. 

Missy’s coat is thick and beautiful now. Both pups have spa days.   What does Missy think about that?  She looks like she wants to tell us something. Lol

Taz is so handsome.  What a sweet boy. 

When they’re done, it’s back to guarding their street. I’m sure they are very diligent.  ❤️
 

MAGOO IN HAWAII

Magoo (Licorice) was part of the Potomac 6 rescue in 2020.  Magoo lived in Virginia after he was adopted. . 

He began to learn how special he was.  He experienced so much love. 

He began a life of travel- Italy, France, and other countries.  

He loved it.  He went w his parents to restaurants and hotels.  He was so good. 

Now he can walk on the beaches of Hawaii.  He can watch the sunset or just relax in his yard under his cabana. 

Life is so good for this beautiful boy.  ❤️
 

LETS VISIT HOME DEPOT

Yesterday Gwennie and Dickens went to two places w me. 

Gweenie and Dickens went to see the ophthalmologist. Dickens has gone there since he came into rescue.  Gwennie had her first appointment yesterday.  She had some red, raw areas around her eyes, so it was time to check it out. 

She didn’t get glasses. 😜. But she did get drops for her dry eye.  She has a healed over ulcer and she also has a genetic cataract. It’s not age related.   We are going to watch it and have a recheck in a few months. 

After that, we went to Home Depot. I put a big blanket in the cart and they had an adventure. 

They had many people want to pet them. They were so good. Maybe I stayed too long, because they both took a nap.  

When we got home, Paddington, Piper and Cinnamon were excited to see them.  Then it was time for another nap.  It was all exhausting. But it was also a good day.  I was very proud of them.  😍

WHERE WERE YOU?

I wondered where some of you celebrated Mother’s Day.  Yum Yum celebrated in Australia on May 10 just like we do in the USA. I looked it up.  Lady Jicky, did you know that you were supposed to have breakfast in bed and be given gifts?  I hope it happened!  😘

Angel and Toffee are in Pennsylvania.  Those faces. (We haven’t had a Toffee in our rescue, so I’ll remember that cute name.) 

Lizzie and Coco- both PVPC alumni, are also in Virginia. 

Buddy lives in Delaware.  He looks a lot like my Piper. 

Po lives in North Carolina.  He looks like he has some training patch on his harness.  He’s one of our adopters granddogs.  

This is Honey Bee.  She’s in California.  Her mom does Peke rescue there. 

Hunter and Jingle celebrated w their mom in Virginia. I fostered both and they became such good friends. I’m happy there were adopted together! 

Percy was admiring his mom.  He lives in Maryland.  (A Christmas rescue Peke.) he was adopted w Tulip (Tinsel).

Rocky, sweet and full of himself, lives in Florida.  He’s an honorary PVPC pup. 

Cody and Holly live in North Carolina.  We have friends all over. 😁. Holly was part of the Christmas rescue.  

Luna and Wiggie live in Virginia, too.  We love Virginia. (Of course we’re a Virginia/Maryland rescue.)
 If you don’t see your area here, share a picture of your pup or your state w us.  It’s fun to see where people- I mean dogs- are from. 😉

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

Toasty’s girl is having finals and quals and assignments.  Toasty is there to cheer her on.  When she’s got a lot on her plate Toasty is there w lot of hugs and encouragement. 💙. I’m going to see how many will post where they are spending Mother’s Day w their special dog/dogs.  Toasty is in New York. 

My gang are all in Virginia and so are my granddogs.

Granger is there for his mom.  He sometimes gets up right beside her.  She doesn’t tell him because he thinks she doesn’t know.  Lol

For all of you dog moms and foster moms, I hope you have a wonderful day.  

I hope your pups give you lots of hugs and kisses today! 😘. Tell us what state or country you’re celebrating. 

MOTHERS DAY FOR PEKES

Who are your Peke kids?  

Mother’s Day is tomorrow.  I was thinking “which pekes have I been foster mom to?”   Everyone knew Starlight.  She would NOT let anyone adopt her. We finally figured that out.  She had chosen us as her family. 

Chumley-one of our grandkids met him and cried “I’ll never see him again once he’s adopted!”   We had to keep him. 

Cranberry- I had her before rescue.  I’ve had Pekes since I was 15.  She loved to r snow!

Max. We called him Mr. Grumpy. He grumbled.  Never bit or did anything bad.  He just grumbled.  He stayed too when no one adopted him. 

Remember Clara?  Tiniest foster I’ve had. All 8 pounds of you.  She had something off.  It was a brain tumor.  She lived the rest of her short life w us. 

My beautiful Kai Kai.   He was a beautiful red Peke-Cavalier.  No one applied for him. I never figured out why. (He had both eyes when I got him. When he was older, he had four eye surgeries but we couldn’t save his eyes.  I kept him near me since I was his seeing eye person. 

Floyd. Sweet Floyd. He didn’t hear or see well.  Again, no one adopted him.  So he stayed.  Starlight was his friend. 

Kenobi was w me a very short time. Oh was he sweet.  We had a happy “rest of your life.”

My Zoey. My heart girl.  No lower jaw, but it didn’t get in her way.  I’ve had so many pas through (or stay) in the 23 years I’ve fostered.  I don’t remember them w sadness.  I remember them w joy because I got to be their mom. 

And now I’m Peke mom to more. Like Dickens who no one wanted because of his medical. He now sleeps on the end of the bed w the rest.  (I’m short so I don’t need the bottom of the bed 😂.)

Some of you have met Cinnamon. She’s afraid of so much, but she’s not afraid of me. She’s my little sweetheart. 

Gwennie and Dickens are part of the Camp Runamuck gang.  She looks so much like Starlight.  🌸

And the Runamuck gang leaders, Piper and Paddington. Bad Pad has mellowed. He and Piper are busy keeping things running smoothly.  

Show us your Peke kids. ❤️

TOBY—FIRST DAY

Toby had his first day out of the vet office.  He’s w me for a few days and then he will be w his foster mom. 

He has to be walked w a sling until his back right leg gets stronger. He's having trouble walking which is normal since he had major surgery. 

He’s all shaved down and is still on a lot of meds. 

He rested on the couch w me.  The meds were kicking in. He’s wearing a neck wrap so he can eat and drink.  If I’m not watching him, he has to have the e-collar on.  He’s trying to lick his surgery sites.  Not a good idea.  He has a long incision on the back left hip. He has plates and screw to fix his broken pelvis.  Everything is swollen but he’s doing well.   The worst is over and the future looks bright for him. 

If your would like to help w the cost of his surgery, just go to the link here.
