MARLOWE—ARE YOU READY

Marlowe came into rescue last month.  His owner could no longer care for him and asked us to help. 

He’s a beautiful boy.  He is doing better w the other dogs but he eats on his own.   He doesn’t want to share. 

(I don’t either.😂)

He loves his foster home. He gets so much attention especially since the college girls have been home for the summer.  He has completed his medical care and we will be taking applications for him.

Remember we only adopt in Va Md.  We make a few exception to people we already know well, especially if they’ve adopted before.  

Marlowe wears a belly band.  He had a bladder infection so he’s relearning.  Belly bands are so easy to use.  

He enjoys walks and is a friendly boy. He would do best in a home w out young children.  We do vet and home checks.  To be an approved applicant, we need to have a completed application.  🐾❤️

HOW MANY YEARS?

Peanut is one of our board members dogs.  Claretta has fostered many of our PVPC dogs.   She also has had Dobermans.   She had both at the same time.  The Dobies thought they were Pekes and the pekes thought they were Donies. 😂

The PVPC board has a messaging group among ourselves.  We share a lot when we message. ( Fiona's Fresia is a happy girl.)  

In our messages, we wondered how many years of experience we collectively have w Pekingese.  With me, it’s over 60 years.  Wow.  That’s a lot. 

Barbara has Jellybean and Snickerdoodle from the Christmas ‘24 rescue.   She’s has Pekes a long time, too. 

Amee loves Pekingese and Shih Tzu alike. She’s had Pekes over 25 years. 

Fin belongs to Robin. Look at his sweet face.  He’s a sensitive boy who loves his mom and dad. She’s also a nurse so she can share a lot of medical information w us. 

Brock of the West Virginia 6 rescue belongs to Lisa.  All of us have dogs from PVPC that we fostered.  Some stayed w us for medical reasons and some stayed because we just decided they fit perfectly into our families. 

Noelle/Nono was in the Christmas rescue.  Beth and David just couldn’t let her go. She was so timid but has come out of her shell with them.  

So.. how long have we had Pekes?  Together we’ve had Pekingese for 415 years!!   That’s a lot of experience!!   That means we know a lot about Pekingese.   And we have a lot of love for them.  

How many years have you had Pekes?  🐾
 

HOLLY—ADOPTAVERSARY

Holly was one of Christmas ‘24 pups.  Isn’t she beautiful. 

She has a family who adore her. 

Hello sweet girl.  Getting closer to having your picture taken. 😁

Cody likes having a friend.  It took him a while to get used to having Holly there but now he is fine. 

They beg together. They stick together when they’re doing this.  😜

Holly is so content in her new home and I’m so glad that her mom stays in touch.  Every picture brings a smile to my face. 

Her adoptaversary was in June so I'm a little late.  So it’s really her 13 month-a-versary. Happy day sweet girl.  🌸

 

POPPI JUNE-HAPPY SUNDAY

Poppi June has been in her new home almost 2 weeks.   She was in a shelter with few options.  

My friend had sent her picture and I fell in love.  I thought of one person who might love her.  And now Poppi is such a blessing to her new mom.

She follows her everywhere and has even let Henry, the resident dog, be her friend and playmate.  This blessing came in a 7-pound package.  She may be small, but her spirit is huge.   💜

Happy Sunday!! 

STAYING INSIDE

We won’t spend a lot of time outside today. 

The air index is 162–in the red zone which means unhealthy.  I didn’t realize there were conditions higher than red.  Purple. Maroon. 

So ours will watch the outside from the inside.  

Piper will nap inside instead of watching the deer outside. 

And Gwennie will do her own thing.  Silly girl.  That’s not your spot. 😂
 

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! 💗
