WHAT COLOR?

Do you have a favorite Peke color?   I’ve fostered every color there is. These are pekes from long ago. It’s Lottie, Bailey and Cranberry.  They were ready for leprechauns to appear. 

Hunter isn’t a Peke but I’ve fostered black and white Pekes. Jingle (and his fellow brothers and sisters who came in w him)  were either shades of brown or an off white like Jingle. 

Daisy is a light buff. And her coat is thick.  Pekes can have long hair, short hair, straight and even some curls. (Paddington has an area on his back that is curly.  The rest of his hair is straight. Anyone else’s Pekes have curls? 

Fresia also has some light buff in her coat. She is mostly off white. 

My precious senior boys from several years ago, Max and Kai Kai.  Max had a lot of brown and a lot of gray when he was almost 17. 

Kai Kai (before he lost both eyes) was a stunning shade of deep red. He also had black tips on the hair.  He was so beautiful.  I’ve never seen another Peke like him.  He was one of my heart dogs. ❤️

Cranberry Muffin was off white  w some light brown highlights on her ears. She was a Peke w an opinion.  She would ignore any new foster who came.  She would sit on the stairs and look down w distain. 😂. Then she realized that everyone but her was having fun. So she joined them.  Silly girl. 

Toasty is an albino.  Some people might call him leucistic but leucistic Pekes can have brown eyes. Albinos cannot. Everyone knows Tuk Tuk. He is all black except for some white on his legs.  Try finding him at night!  Lol 

My Sissy was mostly black until gray began around her face. Many love black Pekes the most.  They are beautiful. 

Lexie was a tri-color.  Brown, black and white. She was a beautiful little girl. (My first IMHA dog.)

Starlight (w my granddaughter) was a parti color.  She was mostly white w breaks of light brown.  She was little, fluffy and one of PVPC’s favorite Pekes.  

And Paddington. The Pad. Bad Pad.  He and Cinnamon are reds. Cinnamon is darker but sometimes when they lay together, it’s hard to tell where one stops and the other begins.  What is your favorite color Peke?   For me, ALL of them. 🥰
 

GRACE’S BIRTHDAY

Gracey came into rescue a year ago this month. 

Her family asked us to help her. She was a little one. 

Her new mom celebrated Gracey’s 2nd birthday last week. 

Gracey had an awesome birthday cake.  🎂. And presents! 🎁

Happy birthday Gracey!  I know you and your family had a happy party! 🎈🎈
 

PEKE FOR AN HOUR

I told my guys I was headed to a shelter to help a dog. 

A friend had a doodle.  And his doodle wanted a friend.  So my rescue buddy Susan looked for one at the shelter.  And that’s where Hazel was. 

Luke came to see who his new sister might be. 

Hazel is so sweet, not even 2 so she is very puppy like. She met Luke and they did fine. 😍

It was official.  They were now brother and sister. She was a Peke for an hour. 😂

I love to be able to help a dog who isn’t a Peke.  Finding a home for any needy animal is heart warming. Welcome to your new life sweet girl!
 

ANOTHER GRANDDOG

Dave is one of my granddogs.  I have Gigi, a chocolate lab, Tuk Tuk, Granger and Toasty.  All PVPC alumni.  

Lily is a medium mix who is Dave’s sister. She thinks she can catch the birds flying above the yard.  Nope!

Dave is over 100 pounds but he’s a big baby.  

It was raining and he didn’t want to go out.  When there was snow it was worse. 

Rain rain go away. He thinks the world hates him.  

Mom, do something!  

Dave can look so forlorn. Poor blockhead baby hippo. 

Dave hasn’t met my Pekes.  His 100 pound body could squash them. So they stay home when we visit Dave. He’s a rescue too.  I think rescues are the best dogs. 🥰. Do you have big dogs w your Pekes?
 

A NOTE FROM TOASTY’S GIRL

My granddaughter and Toasty live in New York.  You won’t find a more loved Peke.  She absolutely adores him and it’s mutual.  When they first met, there were about four of us there.  Who did Toasty go to?  His girl.  

He walked right up to her and put his face next to her face. He chose her.  So he got to go with her.  She walks him a lot and she’s done training w him.  The trainer was amazed and how fast he learned commands.  I think food was involved. 😂

However… (remember this is all a joke), she said he abuses her.  He has begun putting his paw on her face.  Sometimes it’s more of a whack.  Is this physical abuse? 😉

She said he also doesn’t help w the rent, does not help clean, doesn’t pay for food.  Isn’t this financial abuse?   He also tried to keep her from her work (working on her PhD.)  Another finance issue?  There is also emotional abuse. He doesn’t always want her to go out. His face makes her feel badly.  (All Peke lovers know that face!)

L

Toasty could really trash himself when the snow was melting and he wanted to be in the dirty melting spots.  Oh my. Time abuse. 

Of course she had to bathe him after that adventure.  Soaking his girl— that’s some kind of abuse. We just don’t know which one. 🤨

Of course, this is all in fun!  Toasty sometimes hogs the covers, steals her pillow and sits on her face while she’s sleeping.  No matter.  This dog can get away w anything.  He is so loved. 🥰
 

SO MANY FRIENDS

I was deleting a lot of pictures in my phone.  Where I might use one in a blog, there are probably 10 that I haven’t use.  I noticed I had so many “friend pictures.”  Here are Wasabi and Fin. 

Taz and Missy Mistletoe have become besties.  Guard duty!

Hunter and Jingle keep their mom busy!  Hunter was full of energy at my house and he has continued his epic energy w his mom.  He’s like Tigger. 😂

Cinnamon and Paddington are together a LOT. 

Jelly and Snickerdoodle are so attached. Always touching.  

There they are again.  Cinnamon is a small one. Everything she does is so cute. 

Granger and Tuk Tuk.  Tuk can run circles around Granger.  That’s okay.  We knew Tuk was a wild man. 

Cinnamon and Dickens ate together a lot.  While Piper and Paddington are guarding from their ottoman, Cinnamon and Dickens are always w me on the couch while I have my morning coffee.   This morning followed that routine. Pekes, book and coffee.  I love beginning the day like this. 😍 🐾📖☕️
 

BRUCE IS ADOPTED

Bruce came into rescue in January. He was a special need request from a shelter near me.  He was a medical dog.  He has a heart murmur and a mouth of bad teeth.  He needed rescue.  

He came to us and after seeing the vet, we knew his murmur was not as bad as we thought. So we could go ahead w a two stage dental.  He lost 20 teeth and feels so much better w a healthy mouth. 

Saturday, he was off to meet his new mom.   She had agreed to adopt him before we even knew what his condition would be after his medical was done.  She wanted him regardless of how he would be.  She has adopted before and was a wonderful owner for the two seniors she had adopted before. 

Bruce was so good on his car ride to meet her.   I love this picture.  His sweetness just shines out. 

He met his dog cousins, Tulip and Percy (from the 🎄rescue).

Bruce liked his new mom right away.  

They visited with his new mom’s sister and then they were off to his new forever home.  He is so precious. ❤️
