SEVEN YEARS LATER

PIPER AND PADDINGTON

Seven years ago today, Piper and Paddington came into rescue.  

They were beautiful dogs.   Piper wasn't a Peke, but he was Paddington's best friend and we couldn't separate them.   DNA tests later showed that Piper is 2% Pekingese-- so he does fit in!

They have been with us 7 years, Cinnamon has been here 2 years (December 10, 2023) and Dickens has been here for a year (December 23, 2024.  I think they are an adorable pack. 

Paddington was very confused at first, but Piper was with him, so he was okay.    

This is the day I got them.  I thought Piper was much bigger from the picture, but he is barely 13 pounds.   Paddington was looking to Piper for reassurance.  

Piper and Paddington sleep together (of course all four are on the bed), they eat side by side, and they both welcomed Cinnamon when she came.   (They are all waiting patiently for dinner-- except Cinnamon in the back, so is "singing" for her supper.)

Cinnamon was one scared little girl.  But Paddington took over and it really helped her.  

She was underweight, her hair was thin and short, her tail was little, no long hair then.  

Next month, Piper will be 11 and Paddington will be 10. (We have their actual birthdays.  We guess that Cinnamon is 10 or so.  And we think Dickens is 11 or more.   So, we just made March the birthday for all of them.  

Paddington is Cinnamon's best buddy.  Of course, you all know that.  He has NEVER gotten mad at her-- no bad Pad moments with her.  LOL

I groomed them yesterday and Paddington is showing off his fluffy self.   Happy "welcome day" Piper and Paddington.   Daddy asked for you both when you came-- the first time he ever did that in all the years I've done rescue.   We are so happy that he did!   
 

LOUIE FINDS A HOME

Louie had a story before he came into rescue.  The owner had messaged us but then decided to take him to a shelter. It was a shelter I’ve worked w over 20 years so I let them know.   It was an unusual story but we got him.  

After neuter and then surgery for two cherry eyes, he was ready to be adopted.  His applicants came to meet him, and they were all so happy.  Louie included!  

He was adopted and he’s already found where the sunny spots are. 

And he has a new friend who comes to his home off and on. They are doing great. 

Louie rolls  over for tummy rubs.  He loves attention and toys.  

Happy forever Louie!  We’re so thrilled for you!! 
 

BETHANY AND LOVE

Bethany (Christmas pup) has come so far since December of 2024.  She is still timid but she becomes braver every day.  

She found a seat when it snowed.  Bethany likes to get on top of the flower bed on the snow. 

It’s amazing how much love has done for Bethany and the Christmas dogs who went through so much.  

Bethany loves laying in her mom’s arms. She’s trying not to fall asleep.  

She lost the battle and fell into a sweet sleep.  It’s a sleep of security and knowing how loved she is.   💖
 

VALENTINE PUPS

 So many beautiful hearts....

Moose (formerly Oliver) had his Valentine sweater on.

Minnie (formerly Belle of the Christmas rescue) had one on, too. :-)

Toasty and TukTuk were surrounded by hearts.   Tuk Tuk still has a lot of energy, but he is quiet occasionally. haha

Hunter and Jingle just celebrated their one-year-aversary!   Their mom dressed them up.  They are still the best friends.  And Hunter showed his mom that he can jump higher gates than she thought he could.  He has springs on his legs!

Grace has had Peke friends, so she's an honorary Peke!  

Catherine is a Tibetan, but we think she can be part of our Peke club.

Toffee and...

Angel shared their pictures on Facebook.  Aren't they sweet!!

I had to share my grand dog-- he may be 100 pounds, but he has a "tiny" sweet personality.  He thinks he should be a lap dog and you know it when he climbs up.  🤣

Simon is 17!!  He is a PVPC alumni and such a sweet boy. 

Wiggie (Wicket) and Luna are both PVPC alumni.   Thank you all for sharing your special pictures with me.   💜💚💛💗

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZEKE

Zeke came into rescue in October 2023.  I had just picked up another dog, when a message came asking if I could take Zeke.  I had not passed the shelters exit yet, so I stopped by. So two dogs in one rescue trip.  

When I arrived, I asked to meet and do paperwork at my car.  I wasn’t leaving the other dog in the car.  They brought Zeke out and said “Is he Peke enough?”  😂 (I had worked w the shelter a long time.)

Zeke hopped right in the car, happy and friendly.  At my house we began to call him “the perfect boy.”  He was.  My kids/grandkids began calling him Zeke the Peke.  The name stuck.  I had many who wanted him. All good homes.  What would be the best one for ZEKE?  I knew.  

He went to the best home for him.  He is so loved.  He has become a daddy’s boy. They ride on the golf cart and hang out together.  Zeke loves his mom too. 😀.  His mom shared the first picture (above).  Happy birthday Zeke!   🎂🎂

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Happy Valentines Day!

My friend posts the best pictures of her beautiful pups.  Show us your Valentine dogs. ❤️

 

FULL OF SWEETNESS

Belle (Sable) and Emmie (Clementine) were from the West Virginia 5 rescue.  They came into rescue two years ago this month. 

Belle’s hair is longer than Emmie’s. 

Emmie’s hair is shorter but not as short as a Min Pin which is part of her DNA. 

These two girls came in together and were adopted together.  (I love double adoptions—instant best friend coming along). Their new mom said, “ Belle and Emmie are wonderful and always up to something, as it should be.”   ❤️

Emmie (Clementine) and Belle (Sable) love being together!  They play and run and chase each other around the house.  Joy is everywhere. 

These two are full of sweetness. 💖💖
