FAREWELL 2016

"Sometimes," said Pooh, "the smallest things take up the most room in your heart."  A.A. Milne

 This is the hardest blog to do-- the last one of the year where we say farewell to those who have left us this year.   As I put each picture in, I know the heartache that each loss meant to their family.  My heart goes out to everyone who lost one this year.   If I missed your beloved pet, please send me a message and I will include them.

MAKE IT A JOYFUL YEAR! NEW PICS!

THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE MADE DONATIONS IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER TO HELP OUR FOSTER DOGS.   I WILL POST PICTURES FOR THE DONATIONS MADE THROUGH DECEMBER 31.   YOU ARE ALL THE BEST FOR HELPING US!

Thank you,Piggy and Sebastian! See your picture at the bottom!

Diane sent a donation in memory of her precious Peke, Prissy, who passed away in August of 2015.  
+++++++++++
Tinsley made a donation to help our Pekes.  He was adopted from us in 2013, after he became a "foster failure."    
He wants to help the Pekes in rescue now!
 My heart was touched tonight.  I received a message from Ginger-- she was making a donation in memory of sweet Lexie, my foster girl who died of IMHA.
 I loved her so much-- and she was quite a warrior in her battle.   In fostering her, with this disease, she taught me so much about IMHA (Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia) and about life.   http://mustlovepekes.blogspot.com/2015/07/lessons-from-lexie.html
I am making a donation in memory of my daughter's Pandy.   She was about 17 when she died this year and she was so loved by my daughter.  
Sweet Doolin and Gizzy-- they just love each other!
 Gracie Lu came to me after her mom died in 2008.   Jane fostered her and then adopted her and Gracie had a wonderful life.  She passed away last year, but she lives on in the love her mom had for her.   Jane made a donation in her memory and in Joyful Grace's memory.   I'm sure they are both playing in heaven now!  Joyful below, probably still has a lot of outfits there!
 If you make a donation of any amount this month or/and next month, and send me a picture of your dog/dogs, I'll post their picture on this blog, which will be reposted every few days as new pictures/donations come in.   I hope it ends up being a really long blog!   You can make a donation in memory of one of your beloved Pekes, or for one that you have now.   It can be to honor someone you love.   Once you make a donation, send me a picture/name of your pet to haveninhim@aol.com   We want to end this year with JOY!
 My crew wanted to make a donation in memory of Joyful Grace.   Kai Kai and Chumley are both PVPC alumni (they all are!) and they want to help.
Whoops, that's not a Peke, but she loves the Pekes here.
Floyd wants the end of the year donations to come on in.
Starlight, the Princess, thinks her cuteness might help.
Max doesn't care either way haha.
Tucker's family is making a donation, too, so maybe I can get a picture of his entire doggy family.
Paws, Barbara Mudd's heart dog, is now on our list!  His mom made a donation to help our Pekes.  She is becoming active in helping us with rescue and has a lot of knowledge that is great!!  
 Emily's Pekes, Drizzle and...
 Newman are monthly supporters of our rescue.   THANK YOU!!   It's amazing how you can become good friends with someone and never actually have met them!
 Bonnie's Dickens know how wonderful it is to have a forever home.
 Coco is an Australian Peke-- a rescue-- and lives with my good friend, Melinda.
 Rita's pups, Ladybug, Patches and Cupcake.  They all died within 18 months of each other at ages, 13, 14 and 10.

 The 7 Pekes have a beautiful Doberman sister named Tori.  I just couldn't leave her out!  She just thinks she is a very big Peke!! :-)
 Amee sent in a donation in memory of Joyful Grace, and her beloved girls, Darby and Macy.  This is Lexie, one of her Pekes now.

Harley Marie is ready to look for all things Christmas-- of course, she lets her mom go along.   Harley was one of my foster dogs and SO adorable.   I love getting updates.
