PEKE IN NEED

 We received an email requesting our help with this little Peke.  

 His owner turned him into a shelter-- with horrible skin.    Could we help him?  

 He looks so much like Gus!   Raw eyes, bad skins, sores all over-- Jeanne stepped up and said she would help. (Her fosters, Gus and Marshall, were both adopted! Yahoo!)

 Our contact, Jennifer, got him out and took him to her vet so he would be safe and we'll get him this week-end.    Her vet checked him out-- no mange, no heartworms.   Good news!    We can fix his skin and help him to get better.

Oh, that underbite!    Jennifer said he is super sweet and loving.   He just needs help.   We'll decide on a name for him-- if you have suggestions, send them on!   Welcome to rescue, Little One!

HURI AND SEMI

 Hurricane and Seminole came into rescue last spring.   They are a bonded pair of ten year olds.  

 They love to wander in the yard and check things out with each other or with their foster siblings, Bubbles and Festus.  

 Hurricane -- Huri-- is very sweet.  

 So is Semi!!    (He had his e-collar on for awhile, but it's off now.)    He has the cutest underbite!

Both these dogs are easy going and sweet--super sweet.    They need to stay together, so they are a 2 for 1 "deal."   :-)   If you'd like a sweet pair, these are your guys!

CHUMLEY CHUM

 I give Chumley a lot of names-- Chumley, Lord Chumley, Chum-Chum, Chummy...

 He has the best personality-- such an easy foster and sweet.

 He went to the Peke meeting to meet a possible adopter-- but it just wasn't the right fit.  It happens and they adopted another foster dog.  I was thrilled for Marshall who has his new mom.   Don't worry-- Chumley has more applications....

 But, for now, he's here.   Having a blast, shaking toys, following me around.

Here he is, ears flying, toy flying, having fun.    Love this dog!   Click here: Chumley - YouTube

PRAY FOR LEXIE

Please pray for little Lexie.  Her latest labs are showing some things we aren't happy about.    She is being cared for with all we can do for her.  She is the sweetest thing!  I just love her.  

MARSHALL

 Marshall came into rescue in February.     We thought he had been hit by a car (and some of his problems could have been from that).  

 Marshall is the most laid-back, sweet dog.    Nothing phases him.

 He was content to sit on laps, and just hang out.

 Kay loved having him on her lap!

 But, Marshall got really relaxed on Susan's lap-- he's just melted in there.

 He even had his leg curled around her knee.   He was so relaxed!

Marshall is now in his forever home.  We are so excited for him!

I'm sure his new brother, Biscuit (adopted from us last year) will be glad, too!

PEKE MEETING

We had our October Peke meeting at Jeanne's house in Richmond yesterday.   Tiffany, Beth and I drove up together.  Of course, it was quiet in the car the entire way-- NOT!    We had a great time talking.

 Hannah, Chumley and Sassy (I think) were meeting each other.

 I love Jeanne's garden-- beautiful flowers, statues, water features, dogs....

 Sassy was so good with everyone.  (I get Sassy and Lucy mixed up-- they are both beautiful.)

 Lucy was a sweet heart!

 Marshall was a "melt  in your heart" dog-- he is SO sweet!!

 They were  snuggly with us all.

 Didi, Jeanne's heart dog, was resting on the steps.

 There were flavored waters and tea to drink-- and lots of food-- and CHEESECAKE!

Chumley went with me and kept begging for my food.  I see your pathetic face.   Won't work.  It's my cheesecake.   Look for more tomorrow on the meeting!   It was a great day!  Thanks, Jeanne, for opening your home to us!

ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISSI

St. Francis of Assissi wrote this.   What a heart he had for animals.    "All creatures are created from the same paternal heartbeat of God." 

(This is  Chloe who was just adopted.)   "Not to hurt our humble brethren [the animals] is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough." 

(This is my friend's Peke, Drizzle.   He's beautiful!)  "We have a higher mission: to be of service to them whenever they require it." 

(Gustopher loves his foster mom's yard.   It's right on the water, but very safe!)   "God requires that we assist the animals when they need our help." 

( Look at sweet Cassie.   She is available for adoption, too.)  "Each being (human or creature) has the same right of protection." 

(Gus has on his New York cooler weather sweater!)    "If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men." ~St Francis of SAN FRANCESCO D'ASSISI
