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!  🎄🎄

TULIP AND PERCY CHRISTMAS

Percy (Nicholas of the 🎄rescue) has found his spot under the tree. 

Tulip (Tinsel of the 🎄rescue)  at the beginning of her rescue.  She was underweight like the rest. She needed medical help.   

I used a lot of Christmas sweaters when they all came in. 

Tulip looked so cute. 

This is her first real Christmas. She is curled up next to the tree. A big change from before she came to us. 

They both joined Penny from the Bristol 18 rescue  of 2010.  Penny is over 17 now.  She is still the boss. She barks, Tulip and Percy listen.  Penny is fine being carried. She gets around well but she likes the extra care. 

They are all safe this year.  They supervised decorating. 

Tulip approved of the snowman. 

I bet Percy helped set this up. Peke paws at work 

After all that work decorating, it’s time for a snooze. Were sugar plums dancing in his head?  Sweet dreams are there for sure.  This will be a sweet Christmas for them. 🎄

PAULEE CELEBRATES

Paulee celebrated his birthday several days ago. I love his toy!  His mom calls him a spicy Peke. 😂. 

Paulee is looking forward to Christmas. While he waits for Santa, he is playing w his birthday gifts and he won’t share. He had doggie ice cream and he wouldn’t share that either!  

Paulee is w his brother Wallace.  Paulee is spicy and Wallace is “naughty.”   They must be an interesting pair!  😂. Have a Merry Christmas you two! 🎄🎄

LUDO, TOBY AND CHRISTMAS

 Ludo (Fizziwig) and Toby (Gabriel) were part of the Christmas rescue.  Ludo came in January but Toby came December 23 in the first group.

Ludo (Fizziwig) is all set for the holidays. 

When he came into rescue with Winter, Dickens and Mistletoe, he needed so much help.   He is on the right standing.   

Toby was in rough shape— (Dickens was the worst.) even as malnourished as they were, they still wanted attention.  It was amazing how sweet they were.

Toby/Gabriel was in the vet a while w the others, receiving care and giving me time to find foster homes.  

He had a small non visual eye. But that face made one person fall in love.  His future mom. 

He was in the first group that traveled to me.  He’s the third from the back. 

There he is w Dickens.  I had a lot of cone heads in the house. 

Toby and Ludo became friends while at my house. So I was so happy to know they were going to be brothers forever. 

More change came, but then they realized that the change meant a forever family. 

They continued to love to be as close as possible. 

They are both so much healthier now.  Look at the fluff. 

Resting under the tree is a wonderful, peaceful place. 

Their sister is Olivia who was also one of our rescues. She wanted to be a Peke. 

This is going to be their “First Christmas” and I’m so happy for them.  🎄❤️

HOLLY OF THE CHRISTMAS RESCUE

Holly (on right) was one of the Christmas rescue dogs.  

Her new brother Cody is happy she’s there. 

It took a while.  

Holly tested the baby swing that was being given away w all the baby things.  She thought it was a little dangerous. 

She likes being ground level in a bed. 

She and Cody each have their own donut bed. 

Holly loves being held. It’s the best!  I think it wonderful for her and her “grand mom.”

Snoozing w her buddy is fun.  

Holly adores her walks.  It was all new at first but now she’s very sure of herself. She also loves her morning romps outside w her dad. 

Holly was just over 10 pounds when she came into rescue. Now she’s a healthy 13 pounds!

Seeing how great each of the Christmas dogs is doing brings a smile to my face.  They are such sweet Pekes.  The rescue changed everything about their previous lives.  It’s very heartwarming. 🥰
 

YOGI- -- NAUGHTY OR NICE

Yogi says he is ready for Christmas.  He has friends to play with, and I’m sure he will get new toys for Christmas. We were asked to take him into rescue when a shelter was overcrowded.  

When yogi came into rescue, he was matted and uncomfortable. He was shaved down so there was no more hair pulling on his skin. That must have felt 

His hair can be fluffy and soft or he can have shorter cuts. He’s fine either way. 

Yogi LOVES playing w other dogs.  He likes going on walks, too. He would benefit from a fenced yard to run around w his friends.  He would love a playmate. 

Look at that beautiful sleepy boy. 

Are you looking for Santa?   It’s going to be exciting.  🎅

 His foster mom said this about him. “Yogi is house-trained, LOVES all people. He barks when he sees you, until you make him sit for petting and attention. He can hardly stand waiting for attention. He needs to be a bit sedated for grooming, doesn't bite, but is uncomfortable around his hind quarters. Great dog for any household.” 

We’ve had applicants for him, but we want the best fit for Yogi.
