JACK— HAPPY BOY

Jack was one of the Christmas dogs.  He looks so much like my Dickens. 

He has a best friend in Wesley.  

Jack likes toys. 

I should say he loves toys. And he likes to gather them all in his very own pile.  When I see his pictures, I think “look at him now.”   He was not one of the most critical dogs.  (That was Dickens.)

He world is so different from it was 2 years ago. It’s full of love, toys, good food and so many beds.  Sweet boy!  
 

BACK TO THE EYE DOCTOR

Gwennie had eye surgery about 5 weeks ago.  She was doing well and her recheck said she would continue healing.  And she did. 

Until she didn’t. 

I noticed her eye was more swollen again. and a sore seemed to be developing. 

I didn't like the look of it so I called the ophthalmologist to see if they could see her yesterday.  

I'm so glad I did.  She did need more meds to help her eye.  More eye drops and some oral meds. This can happen.  They can seem to be healing well and then something happens.  

She will have a recheck in 3 weeks.  

She was exhausted on the way home.   I had dropped her off because I had an appointment, so she was there almost 3 hours.   They told me she was never in a cage.  They all took turns holding her.   She had so much fun and it wore her out.   

She was ready for bed after her last trip outside.  It was a long day, but healing will begin.  She was such a good girl.  💜
 

TRIXIE AND GIDGET

Remember the two tiny Pekes we took into rescue?  Trixie and Gidget are doing great! 

Gidget loves her bone and carries it around w her. 

Both have playmates, a wonderful mom and dad and all the good care and love they deserve.  Couldn’t you just kiss those faces??🥰
 

HOME AGAIN

Gwennie and the Runamuck gang did great while I was gone.

Pippi has become more active and it’s funny to see her excited and racing back and forth from room to room. All the dogs know my granddaughter well and she was sometimes “attacked” by a group of them. 

I relaxed and decompressed while I was out there.  

One morning the fog rolled in and it was beautiful. I sat on the porch w a blanket for my morning coffee. 

The sunset welcomed me back home. This was from my plane seat  

Piper, Gwennie, Cinnamon and Paddington slept w us last night.  Pippi was playing and Dickens was under the bed.  They were glad we were home. 

MY BIRTHDAY

My birthday was yesterday and so many wished me happy birthday.  Suzee Wu was one.  She even wore a birthday hat.

Hunter and Jingle look sweet and wished me a happy birthday.  I know they’re usually not this still. 😂

Ben and Jerry look so much like our puppy fosters Sophie and Spencer. 😁. Their mom sent a birthday message. 

My cousin lives in Texas and she has a lot of animals.  Here’s two of them. Aren’t they cute!  

Sweet Kringle wished me happy birthday, too.  He had his mom write the message. ✍️📝

Taz and his Christmas rescue sister.. 

Missy “Mistletoe” also sent birthday greetings. 

Zeke sent one w my name on it.  He’s a sweet boy that I picked up after driving w another new foster dog.  A full day.  🐾🐾

Gracey— a sweet high-energy pup was adopted by wonderful long term PVPC adopters.  Gracey may be looking for another friend.  🥰

Thank you for all the birthday greetings!  🎂🎉
 

SOPHIE AND SPENCER

Sophie and Spencer were neuter/spayed and are just about ready to be adopted.  

For the puppies, rainy days are awesome.  So are hoses   💦💦. 🌧️

Any combination of dirt and water is awesome!!  

Just ask them. 

They nap some but most of the time, they are ready to run around and play.  If you want a calm sedate dog, these aren’t the ones. Nope.  

They’re good for baths and they get them often after they get as dirty as they can. 😂😂  These two are very loving puppies.  They are almost 6 months old.  They’re aren’t Pekingese but I’m so glad we could take them into rescue.  🐾
 

HOLLY AND CODY

 Holly and Cody, you ready for cooler temperatures and leaves falling?  I think all the dogs are, since we had a hot summer.  Fireplaces, sweaters, sweatshirts.  I’m ready!  Are you? 🍂🥮
