MISSY--NEW YEAR'S EVE IS COMING

 Missy Mistletoe -- It's been a year since I met her. 

She was one of the Christmas pups, and she looks SO different now.   

She has adorable outfits.  Yep, she's a mama's girl and her mom loves to dress her up.

Her mom made her an ornament for the tree.   Do your dogs have a special Christmas ornament?  Mine do. 🎄

Missy joined Taz in the family-- he really needed a new sister when his siblings passed away.  Now these two are close and they are patrolling the street together.  

Her mom said, "Little Bit Missy is so precious and independent. She tells you what she wants and hops around until the world stops! She is in command!"

Missy and Taz have become so close and if you find one, you find two.  

I still am in awe of how all of their lives have changed so much.   She and Taz and her mom and dad will celebrate the New Year together!  

MAGOO AT CHRISTMAS

Magoo (Licorice of the Potomac 6 group from North Carolina) came into rescue in November 2020. 

He has such a wonderful life now.  

He needed help when we got him, he needed medical care and time to gain weight. 

Magoo reminds me so much of my Sissy who was also part of  that group.  

Magoo was adopted in December of 2020, so he has just had his 5th adoptaversary.  He’s been to Germany.  .  

He’s been to italy snd lived there a few years.  

Now he’s moved to Hawaii!  

He’d been to so many places and often goes on adventures w his mom and dad.  He is very cherished. 

This year, he had a warm weather Christmas.  So many family members came and he loved it.  He may have taken a few more naps.  

Seeing him so happy and healthy gives me such joy.  A life changed through rescue.  What a blessing!!🥰

 

SNUFFLES AND PEEKO

Snuffles was not adopted from us but he had a brother who was.  Schmoo came into rescue w a birth defect   He couldn’t control his intestines so he had to wear a diaper unless he was outside   

He lived a very loved life w his family.  Snuffles was a PVPC honorary alumni because of Schmoo.  Such good friends. ❤️

Snuffles was all prepared for the holiday.  “Are those all for me?”

Snuffles’ dad is an amazing photographer and both his mom and dad love all animals. Mark even put a lot of photos into a book.  So many stories of animals saved and now in sanctuaries.  Rescue is part of this family’s  heart. 

There are many animals around the rural area where  they live.  The photos delight us w the wildlife that show up for a snack.  (They have a camera on them so the rest of us can see pictures, too.😁) 

PEEKO joined their family this year, another little one in need. 

They all had a joyful holiday?  🥰

CHRISTMAS PUPS

Friends have been sending me (or posting) Christmas pictures. That’s Wicket/Wiggie w his sister Luna. They are sweet! 

Cinnamon loves all the Christmas pillows and blankets.  They’re everywhere. The couch is her favorite spot. 

Jingle got a new big bed for Christmas. 🎄

These aren’t pups, but they were at the Christmas Eve service. It was awesome. 

I even had a picture w them.  Joy was everywhere. 🤗

Kids loved it.  Adults did too.  

Our family has a thing about llamas. I know this is an alpaca but it’s close enough. 🦙

Baby cow, donkey, sheep, goat.  And then, when we left church, snow machines were going and it was great.  

One of the vet techs posted her dogs. ❤️

Another friend posted hers- The Parks Pups.  Some are therapy dogs. 

Tulip (Tinsel) and Percy (Nicholas)  were so relaxed at home. They are timid but they did so well. 

Jack was enjoying some toys. His favorite. How many did  he get for Christmas? 

Gracy was rescued earlier this year. She was on the naughty list. 😂. She has a lot of energy  and doesn’t always make good choices. Poor Gracy. 

I hope you had a beautiful holiday.  🎄 And that you can have a peace filled weekend as we look toward 2026.  This year has gone so fast! 

THE DAY AFTER 🎄

My heart is full on Christmas evening. I’m taking time to just put my feet up and feel the love that was there. Time spent w my girls, my sons in law and my grandkids.  

To all who messaged to say Merry Christmas, thank you.  Some sent Christmas Day pictures of our adopted Pekes like Cody and Holly of the Christmas rescue.  What a year it has been.  I’ll be sharing more later. 

I hope your Christmas was magnificent.  🎄

OLIVER AND BELLE OF THE 🎄RESCUE

Oliver/Moose and Belle/Minnie were the last two of the Christmas pups to come in.  

They weren't as critical as the others.  Oliver/Moose was under 12 pounds and Belle/Minnie was under 9 pounds.  They were timid at first, but that soon changed.  

After a short stay at their first foster home, they went to their new foster home.  They decided that the back of the couch was a great spot!  

Can you see more?   How many do you see.  Leia/LiLi (from the Maryland 5 rescue) was trying to get in the picture too.  

Their new mom says, "They definitely are so precious and so loved.  They have brought a lot of joy to our hearts." 

Belle/Minnie likes to sleep on the couch, but she also likes to be in their bed, squished between their pillows.  She's small so she doesn't take much space.  

Oliver/Moose likes to climb on them and wrap his paws around their necks.  He gives them a kiss and then goes back to sleep.  

Minnie and Moose have fit right into their new pack-- 10 Pekingese!   We love this home, and they truly love Pekes-- 3 are now PVPC alumni.  They will have a first Christmas this year.  Merry Christmas little ones-- all of them.  🎄🎄
   

NONO--NOELLE'S FIRST CHRISTMAS

Nono aka Noelle has come a LONG way since she came December 23 last year.  One year ago today. 

Here she was last year.  She is so much healthier now and that outfit no longer fits. That’s a good thing. 

Nono was so afraid of everyone and everything.  Her foster parents kept her because she was so timid.  They didn't want her to go through another change.  

She was so little-- about 9 pounds when we got her.  She has gained weight and has a lot more hair now.  It's so amazing how vet care and love can make sure a difference.  

She took so much comfort in her sisters, Mei Mei and Ren. They are older, but they like her to cuddle up with them. 

Ren, Nono and Mei Mei are all decked out for Christmas.   

Nono gravitated toward her dad the most.  We were surprised since most of them didn't like men.  But, David had that special touch.   This week, for the first time, she crawled between her mom and dad on the couch.   Progress is still happening.   I'm so glad they kept her. 

Nono, like all the Christmas rescue friends, is having her first real Christmas.   Merry Christmas sweet Nono.  It's going to be an awesome Christmas!  🎄🎄
