SPA DAY FOR YOGI

Yogi has the sweetest face.  I saw him yesterday. 

When he came into rescue, he was a matted mess. And those mats hurt. 

He had a spa day yesterday. I had been busy w his mom so I was able to see him come out.  He was so excited that  he jumped completely off the floor. 

Hello sweet boy!  

“Can I sit up front w you??”

He did end up in my lap. 

Spa days are tiring.  I think a nap was next. 

If you want information on him, email us at potomacpekes@gmail.com.  You can also message us on Facebook.

SASSY PRINCESS

Remember Ginger now Sassy Princess?  She sent me an update.  Sassy sleeps right on her mom’s pillow.  That’s the best. 

She’s wet here. She loves her little pool that she can jump in and out of.  It will soon be too chilly to do that very soon.  It may be already w the temperatures dropping this week. 

She has a tiny new friend. His name is Pooh Bear and he is 4 pounds!  Full grown. 😳

They roll and play and Pooh Bear is very outgoing and big in personality. 

Sassy has other friends, too. Piglet and Teddy Bear are both very small.  Piglet is inky 2 pounds. Wow. Super small. 

Here’s another picture of Pooh Bear. He’s a big dog in a small body. 😉😍

Sassy is a lover of outside things but she loves snuggling w her mom even more.  She’s a very loved girl. 🐾
 

HERMES, JOLLY AND TD

Hermes, Jolly and TD are having playtime this week.  When one of their people goes on vacation, they get to spend time together. 

Hermes “Hermie” came into rescue almost 2 years (in October).  Wait today is the beginning of October! 🤦‍♀️

Jolly (he’s a boy, people get confused.) is half the size of Hermie. 😁. And TD is small too. 

Hermie was adopted and he lives close to his foster parents. 

Hermie is probably happy to be w friends.  He knows them well. 

His mom enjoys long walks so Jolly will love that. TD will probably opt for short ones. 

Enjoy your friends!! 
 

BUILDING A FENCE

The dogs were very concerned yesterday. It was a stressful day. 

Last night, Dickens was exhausted. 

So was Cinnamon.  In fact we all went to bed early. 

Yesterday there were strangers in the yard!  That was scary for the dogs. 

They removed the very old fence and put in new posts. The dogs were very concerned. 

We couldn’t go out back so we walked in front.  Cinnamon did not like being away from the yard she felt safe in.  In fact she stopped and I had to carry her back inside.  Cinnamon is not brave at all.  I’ll have to carry her to the side of the back yard so she will feel safe.  

I can’t wait til the gate and fence are back. Neither can Cinnamon. 

Walking these two is an adventure. They wanted to go both directions at the same time. 

For now, they will just have to watch from the porch. 

Today, Dickens is just going to let them know he wants his yard back!  
 

CHARLOTTE OF THE WEST VIRGINIA 6

Remember Charlotte of the West Virginia 6?  

We took them into rescue in February 2024.  They had been above the population line in the mountains a long time.   We don't know how they survived.  But they did and they are all flourishing now. 

Charlotte's foster family decided that she was already home   Our foster homes have first chance of adopting them.  And hers did!  (Of course all our foster homes have gone through the approval process.)

Charlotte is BEST friends with Babykins the cat.   They are both multi color and both love each other.  

Charlotte has many expressions: happy, content, inquisitive, sleepy.  

And she is definitely a daddy's girl.  I think he fell in love with her as soon as she arrived.  

Knowing how loved and content she is has made all the rescues a part of my heart.  💜
 

WHEN IT RAINS

When it rains, none of my dogs will go out. We were supposed to get rain Thursday. Nope. Friday. Nope.  

It was supposed to rain early Saturday. It finally began later in the day.  Belly bands in use!  I picked an autumn style for Dickens.  No dog wanted to go out in torrential rain. 

My grand-dogs wouldn’t go out in it. Gigi watched from the porch.  

Tuk Tuk loves the yard. He would run in it if he was allowed.  When it stopped, I’m sure he was out in it. 

Dave gets bored- he did this before the rain came.   That will teach his mm to keep the mattress pad on.  😳.  Then it began to rain. 

Dave doesn’t like thunder so he was probably on his mom’s lap. Almost 100 pounds of him.  My Piper is the same. He just wants to be held during storms.  It’s calm now.  Everyone is chilling.  No rain in sight. 🌧️⛈️
 

SMILES AND TONGUES

There's something so endearing about Peke faces. 

When Paddington gives me this look, he can have anything he wants.  

Zeke can give the same toothy grin. 

Tuk Tuk too!  He can have all kinds of faces. :-) 

And then there are the tongues.  Some just can't keep them in their mouth.  Kringle has a tongue that is long.  And with missing teeth, there's just no way to keep it in his mouth.  

Bethany shows her tongue just because she's smiling.

Noelle Nono is just happy with her family and her toy.  

Holly is smiling too-- she loves her new family. 

I love this picture of Granger and Tuk Tuk-- double tongue licking. 

Jellybean keeps her mouth closed, but Snickerdoodle must be missing some teeth, too.  

Cinnamon and Dickens like each other-- and Dickens is so happy to have so many friends.  

I think Dickens is having some serious thoughts or contemplating something-- but I have no idea what he's thinking. I'm sure it's about food or toys-- he loves both. 

These dogs are just too cute!  💜
