GRANGER’S BOX BED

Granger has nice soft beds.  But he will always choose a box.  

Toasty has bed head but he’s awake enough to ask “WHY A BOX GRANGER?”

As long as there are companies like Chewy and Amazon, there will be boxes.

If you can use one box, why not two?   Let’s make bunk beds. 

We put Tuk Tuk in the top one.  

Don’t jump. We will help you!  Guess bunk beds aren’t really a good idea.  We tried. 😂🛏️🛌
 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KODA

Koda came into rescue in May.

He needed a lot of eye surgery and we wanted to help. 

He had several surgeries and finally got the all clear. 

Koda was a year old this month.  He has filled out, too.  

Look at how big he is.  20 pounds!   Not fat. Just big framed.  He’s about the size of our Granger.  

Happy birthday Koda!   I hope you got a treat. 🧸🦴

POPPI JUNE NOW

POPPI JUNE

Poppi June came into rescue in early July.  She was underweight and neglected, but we saw so much life possibility in her.  

And I just couldn’t resist that pop up ear!  Could you have resisted?  I bet you couldn’t. 😉

She was at my house a short time, but she had a new mom waiting.  

She is blossoming there. Her hair has come in beautifully.  Her mom just sent me a message.  (You know I love updates!)   "Poppi June got her first "pedicure" and bangs trimmed today!  When I handed her to the groomer, Poppi looked so worried.  When I picked her up, she jumped into my arms and almost licked my ear off on the ride home.  She is sooo loved!  Thank you for choosing me.”

Finding the right home for these little ones is such a gift for us.   I take it very seriously because the rule for me is "the dog comes first."   And Poppi June needed her new mom and her mom needed her-- the perfect home!!  She is resting now after a long day.  Tomorrow she will wake up ready to begin a brand-new day.  💜
 

NAME CHANGE?

Pippi has become so comfortable w my group here. Inside, she’s calm and easy going.  

Shes’s right next to Cinnamon.  She will still let the others know if she doesn’t want to share something.  She’s bluffing. Lol.  She’s doing great. 

Outside, she becomes so sassy if she sees the neighbor dog.  

She is front and center in my crew.  

I wonder if I should have named her Sassafras.  Sassy for short.  She gets so worked up and she expends a lot of energy.  

It’s exhausting for her. I’m not changing her name but Sassy Sassafras would be a great choice.  Do you have other names that would fit your dog?   

TOBY AND LUDO-SUCH JOY

 

Ludo and Toby (Fizziwig and Gabriel 🎄🎄) are so happy in their home.  They were at my home after the Christmas rescue and their new mom came to meet ONE. Her husband said just one.  But it didn’t go that way because she instantly fell in love w two.  They are still best buddies and they have lots of friends at their home. They may not know up from down (like the picture) but they know they are loved. 

Such a precious picture.   Their happy faces, their secure lives w great love bring so much joy!  

Happy Sunday! 🌞

PUPPY GROOMING

Sophie and Spencer are almost 5 months old.  They are energy in action.  Ray is in the background. He anted to be in the picture, too. 😍

They know the word “outside” and they run and tear around the yard until they are exhausted. 

A brief nap and they’re ready to start again. 

Sophie and Spencer were groomed this week. Look how beautiful they are!  

These puppies are best friends and it would be awesome if they could stay together.  They absolutely need a playmate to run around w.  They also need a large fenced yard.  If you are interested in adopting, we adopt in Maryland and Virginia and close by.  We require vet and home checks.  No first time adopters. 

If you want a sedate, low energy dog, these dogs won’t fit that bill.  They are all for busy fun fun fun.  They also will need to be groomed regularly.  It’s an absolute necessity. You can message on our Facebook account if you have questions.

AUGGIE--3 YEARS

August "Auggie" came into rescue 3 years ago in August.  

He looks wonderful now. 

When he came in, he had inflamed skin and was given medical treatment.

Even as he was healing, he had the happiest spirit.  That face. 

He loves to be outside with his mom.  She's an incredible gardener.   I wonder what she could do with my yard.  :-)

Life is so good now. 

Auggie, happy third adoptaversary!!  💙
