UPDATE ON PRINCE and GINGER KENT

 You remember that Prince came to us in horrific condition.   He is being given the best care with his foster mom, Kim, and the vets.   He has a  lot of worms, and his mouth is in terrible condition.   (Floyd came to us last year and his mouth was the worst we had seen.   His teeth were so infected that it caused heart issues that he still takes meds for.   So, getting the mouth healthy is very critical.)   After seeing the vet again yesterday, he is now in the vet hospital getting 24 hour care, so that he can get meds for his eyes every 2-3 hours around the clock.   He received medication to get rid of the worms (sometimes, panacur is not enough, we use Drontal for more in depth "kill").

He has an e-collar on so he won't scratch or rub his eyes.   He has eaten some turkey that his foster mom took there and he decided chicken is good, too!   He is getting a lot of extra snuggles at the vet because he is just so sweet.   Ida, one of our great volunteers, is visiting him today, so I'll have an update later that I can add to the end of this blog.   

 Ginger, this beautiful little girl, came to us with eye issues.  We thought she was doing better, but she saw the ophthalmologist yesterday.   Her eye is leaking fluid and the ulcer has become larger, so she needs surgery, which is being done today.    She should not lose her eye because she is having this surgery.   She will also have canthoplasty to help her eyes become more stable.  She has been getting eye drops since she came into rescue and is no longer bumping into things, so her sight is much better.  

 I'm so glad Ginger Kent came to our rescue group so she could get the care she needs.   She did great on the ride to the vet, and is a sweetheart when she is being examined.   On a side note, Ginger Kent is in the same foster home as Oreo.   She tries to keep him in line when he runs around "like a fool" as his foster mom says.  Jackie, her foster mom, says it's so cute to watch her tell Oreo to "settle down!"   Love that!

I'll update this blog later today with an update on them both!
+++++++
Here is the update!   Ginger Kent has her eye surgery today-- it was done this afternoon and so she is still drowsy. She will go back in two weeks for her follow up. She still needs to be spayed, have a hernia repair and a dental, but those had to be put on hold to save her eye. She is such a sweet girl!!   Ginger is home and doing ok, but hates her cone of shame that she has to wear for the next 2 weeks. She ate a great dinner and is back to keeping everyone in order. She let Oreo know that her blanket is off limits for him to chew on. 

Prince is at the vet being cared for. He was given some appetite stimulant and he is eating and drinking more. His eyes are getting special drops to help them heal. His spirits are better and he is engaged and becoming playful! Thank you to everyone who is praying for him and donating to his care.

MAKE IT A JOYFUL YEAR! NEW PICS!

MORE PEKES -- UM, I MEAN THEIR OWNERS-- ARE DONATING!   YAHOO!!!   PLEASE GO TO THE BOTTOM, OR THE TOP, OR IN-BETWEEN TO SEE NEW PICTURES. :-)  (I'm never sure where the pictures are going to end up when I add them!)

Lexi's Kasper is dreaming of all the good things that are happening to the foster Pekes in our care-- good food, vet care, safety, soft beds, people who love them.  Thank you for helping us do that!

 Ollie and Buffy were both adopted from us.  Their mom, Joy, has an incredible Christmas house each year-- every room is decorated and one tree has just "Joy" ornaments on it.   Ollie and Buffy wanted to send in a donation to help the Pekes we have in foster care.  They both know it's great to be in our rescue, and even better to be adopted!

 Patricia's BooBoo and...

Buffalo Bob wanted to help our foster Pekes also.   Thank you boys!!!

Coco sent a donation all the way from Australia!!   Thank you, Melinda!   You have become such a great friend!

 Mulan was a Peke we helped-- she was with a Dachshund Rescue person, and they all wanted to send a donation to help our new Pekes.  Thank you, Roxanne!!

Theo Davis, Toni's boy, also wanted to donate to help others like him.  Thank you, sweet boy!  Your mom is the best!

 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.

Ann has supported our group for years.  She had a beautiful Peke named Princess. She loved her little purse!!  Princess is no longer with her, but always remembered.   

Kay and Claretta sent in a donation as we end our "Joyful Year."   They have fostered and adopted, at one time, telling us to "give us your toughest dog."   We did!   Here they are, clockwise, beginning at "4."  Domino (yep, he was a trip while we had him!), Beau (oh, I love this boy!), Tucker, Tina, Pop, Maggie and Teddy.   

 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.

 Amee also wanted to honor Lexie and Mollie.   Mollie is so beautiful and little-- and she sometimes thinks she is the boss.  (Hmmm, this sounds familiar!)

 Amee's Drill Bit with the Pekes-- she and I both have Drill Bits!

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.  

Micky and Madeline were both adopted from us and live near me.   Their mom and dad came over yesterday to visit and see our Pekes.   Madeline and Micky wanted to give a donation to help our Pekes.  Thank you!

Doris, Weezie and Teddy sent a donation-- Doris crochets and did a fundraiser to help us with our vet bills.   We really appreciate her for doing this.

Thea and Thurston were both PVPC fosters-- and now PVPC alumni!   They were puppies when they were adopted and have turned into such beautiful Pekes.   And so sweet!  Their mom, Pati, does dog care and the pics she posts each day are amazing.   I wish she was closer to me!   Thank you for your donation to help the ones who were like you.   And who is photo-bombing your picture! :-)

Susan's Ziggy loves helping the Pekes, too!!    His mom has helped transport and told us of Pekes that needed our help.   We are all a big team!
