EDDIE (KRIS) LOVES TO PLAY

Eddie (formerly Kris of the Christmas rescue) has come a long way-- I say that about all of them, but that rescue will forever be the one that touched me so much and that I was personally the most involved in.   

Watching them go from skinny, malnourished, flea infested, timid dogs-- to ones who are healthy and loved continues to show how much a dog can heal.   

Eddie loves his mom.   He was playing with her yesterday.  He rolled this way and that.

Did his brother Brock (of the West Virginia rescue) want to join.

Eddie seems to be looking for him.

But he is just getting ready to spin around. 

The joy he brings to Lisa is wonderful- and I love that she shares the pictures with me.  💙

Let's hear from some of our other alumni.  :-) 
 

PADDINGTON AND HIS TOY

Paddington loves his stuffed dog.  It’s almost as big as he is. 

He will often grab it when we’re going outside.  He usually drops it on the porch. 

Yes, I see your you. 😍 Is Cinnamon helping?

He’s deciding whether to take it to the yard.  Normally, he leaves it at the top of the stairs.  

This time Paddington AND his dog went all the way out.  
 Have fun Paddington!  

TOASTY-- WHAT IS ALL THIS WHITE STUFF?

Toasty was surprised at the amount of snow.  

REALLY SURPRISED!

Snow shovelers and snow blowers were making $25-30 dollars and hour.  

Toasty went to explore and inspect. 

There was so much white.   And Toasty's girl said NYC was totally quiet-- she had never heard it so quiet.  

He was sinking.  Do you need help?

At first, there was no way to walk anywhere. 

Driving on the streets was a Code Blue-- no driving!  Emergency vehicles needed to get through if needed, so no broken/stalled/stuck vehicles would get in the way.

Toasty was ready to go inside.  

It was still snowing-- and more is coming Wednesday.  WOW.  Stay warm Toasty. Don't get lost in the snow.

KRINGLE, WINTER, SNOW

In Virginia, the weather can be very different from one area to another.  The areas near the beach are milder.  Kringle is glad for that. 

Kringle had snowflakes on him.  He loved it.  

Winter lives further north in Virginia. She was having fun. 

She sat and watched it for awhile. Did more come?

When mom called, she went running for the door. 

Blankets feel so good after coming in from the cold.  I wonder if it kept snowing.  We’ll find out. 

Now Toasty in New York says his weather is a LOT!  We’ll see a report from him tomorrow.  

RESTING ON SUNDAY

Some Pekes really know how to relax.  Scout Annabelle “Iggy” was just melting in her dad’s lap. Her mom said she thinks Scout is the smartest dog they’ve ever had.  😍

Missy Mistletoe has become a pro at relaxing.  She is jello on that chair!   Good thing she’s not on the edge.  

Mine will be doing the same today—especially since it’s going to rain ALL day.  And it’s going to be much colder. 🥶. Stay warm everyone!  (Except Lady Jicky in Australia where it’s warm.  It looks like she’s getting rain, too. ☔️)
 

FOUR TO THE VET 🙄

Dogs need regular vet visits. And I usually take 1-2 at a time. Piper and Paddington had their yearly visit yesterday.  Dickens needed the rest of his vaccines. (We did them in 2 visits.)

Of course, I couldn’t leave Cinnamon at home by herself.  She relies on her friends to feel safe. 

The staff put us right into a room. 😂. Saved the waiting room from chaos.  

Cinnamon was still a nervous wreck.  Everything scares her.  I held her but she still panics if she’s not at home.  Since she was there, the vet looked her over, too.  😁

They had their bloodwork and vaccines and nails trimmed and the other fun stuff that can be done at the vet.  And then we went home. 

Cinnamon was so excited to be home.  Her safe place. 🥰

 

TOASTYS GIRL IS SICK

Toasty’s girl told us she was sick. She said a lot of people near her university were sick.  

Toasty was very concerned.    

He tried to help her in the shower.  That wasn’t a good idea.  He didn’t realize he’d get wet too. 

He thought being sick was bad for her but good for him.  She was home all the time.  And he loved that. 

So he stayed close and rested w her. 

He’s doing a great job of keeping the bed warm so it’s all cozy for her.  We all hope she feels better quickly.  😍
