2020 CALENDAR--ALREADY!

  It's time now to start submitting your pictures for our 2020 calendar!   

 Should Mizmo be our cover boy??   We don't know!

 Or Petey-- he's a stunner with his pink puppy.

We might do one of our foster dogs for the cover, but please submit your pictures for the inside pages.   They must be high quality to be used, otherwise, they will be blurry on the large pages.

Here's the information from Fiona, who is in charge of the calendar:

"It’s time to submit photos of your wonderful Pekingese for our 2020 PVPC Fundraising Calendar!

The fee is $20.00 for a quarter page, $40.00 for a half page, and $50.00 for a full page.  One full page per family,  please.

The 2020 calendars will cost $20.00 each plus shipping, with a special price of 3 calendars for $50.00 plus shipping.

Please send your best quality, original images to Fiona, at fiona at fionaross dot net**  and she will contact you with payment information.

She is happy to check your photos to determine if they are good printing quality.

Spaces fill up quickly for this beautiful calendar, so send your images in soon. The deadline for photo submission is July 14, 2019. ”

The pages filled VERY fast last year and we closed down submissions early.  We can only give one page per family, so pick your favorites. 

WALDO-HAPPY HOME

 Waldo came to us after his family could no longer keep him.  He was not treated well by the children, and I've always said we have to train our children how to be around dogs-- it's so important.

 He wasn't sure when he came into rescue and needed time to just "be."

 Kathy and Jeff saw his picture and it was love at first sight.  They were experienced Peke owners and that's just what he needed.

 He now has a sister named Wendy Lou-- and they are best buddies.  SO SWEET.

 They enjoy just being together.

 He went to the beach and sat under the umbrella-- it was fun and relaxing.

 He enjoys hanging out on the table on the porch, just vegging with his mom and dad.

Yes, he is a happy boy now!!    💙

FAREWELL SWEET ABBY

Abby was Margie and Eddie's precious girl.

Margie had seen a posting on her.  Her first thought was, "She was ours."

She applied and was approved to adopt her, but...

..it was found that Abby was heart worm positive and so Margie paid for the treatment.

She stayed in a wonderful foster home during her treatment, and then the phone rang that she was ready for her new home.

On May 17, 2012, Abby became Margie's little girl.

Margie's other Peke, Brutus, died a few months after Abby joined the family and then Prince Harry came into the family. Shortly after that, Mr. Magoo joined them all.

China Doll joined them more recently, when Margie and Eddie fostered her.  Abby was fine with that.  (This is Abby.)

Abby was always the princess. 

Her temperament was so good, that someone suggested she could be a PAT dog-- Pet Assisted Therapy.

She was so loved and adored.   She had herniated disc surgery on four discs and came through great.  She was by her mom's side when she had hip surgery.

And she has been her dad's companion as he has journeyed through cancer treatment.   She had a very special purpose when she joined her family. 

Abby developed a heart condition, but she still wanted to be involved and play.   She died after what was believed to be a heart related issue.

Her mom and dad adored her.   She is missed so greatly.  Losing a beloved pet is so so difficult. 

Run free, little Princess.  You were such a beautiful part of your mom and dad's life.  💜

MR. HAPPY

 I wanted to update you on Mr Happy.  He was so frantic when we got him but he’s settled down and more content now.

 His foster mom is introducing him to toys and he goes to work w her.  Lucky boy!

He sees the ophthalmologist next week to see what we need to do with his eyes—he is blind— but he is getting around fine and so sweet.  He will be available for adoption soon!

BG SENDS AN EMAIL

 BG came into rescue several years ago.   She looked so sweet. 

 And innocent.

 She took beautiful pictures.

 She loves to go for car rides!  She's hoping they are at a take-out window.  Goodies, please!

 BG may look docile-- but look out. 

 In our house, we would call her "a pill."   😞 LOL

 She turned 13 in December and even though she is older, she hasn't become more mellow.  Nope.  She is a pistol!

 Her latest hobby is tearing up piddle pads.   You're wearing it!

 She wanted to let me know what she was going through, so she sent me an email.  Yes, she did.

Here's what she wrote. 
"Dear Rescue Director, Mam, 

I was rudely presented to Dr. Amos on Wed. to get my annual flu shot.  I was on my very best behavior despite such rudeness.

Love, BG

These Pekes are so smart!!  😆

WELCOME TO RESCUE ZEB

 ZEB was in a shelter after he was found as a stray.

 He’s a tiny one at 9 pounds but he’s thin.  We think he was an outside dog (can you imagine) because we will work on house training.  He’s with Sonia and Joe who are very experienced.

We think he is only 4 years old.  He will need vetting and once he’s ready for adoption, we will let everyone know.   Welcome to safety and rescue and love sweet boy. 💙

CHIEN CHIEN SAYS HAPPY SUNDAY

Chien Chien was adopted almost 11 years ago.  Can it be that long?    She is beautiful and living in California-- so she enjoys the sunshine and nice weather.  She says Happy Sunday!
