MR. WINNIE IS HOME!

 We are having a lot of adoptions lately!!

 Add Mr. Winnie to that list!

 He has not been in his foster home long, but his foster mom fell in love with this stunning boy.

 He can sit up!

 Could you resist this face?   Marian couldn't!

Mr. Winnie will have love the rest of his life.  Rescue is the best!

MADDY SHARES HIS ALLOWANCE

 The Pekes adopted from us are really amazing!

 They know what it's like to be a foster dog.

 Maddy was one and was adopted into a wonderful home where he lacks for nothing.

 Maddy gets an allowance!  Wow, I never thought of giving my dogs an allowance-- would they have to actually do something to earn it?   Does Maddy earn it?

 Maddy thought he should share it with the Pekes who were like he used to be-- a foster dog.

He began storing his allowance in his pockets!  His dad wrote me this, "The problem is that God gave Pekingese very small pockets and change started to drop everywhere.   Whatever we pick up on the floor from his allowance goes in the Peke support fund."  So, what was dropped went to help Charlie's dental surgery.   Thank you, Maddy!!  
p.s.  Do any of you give YOUR Pekes allowance?? :-)

LOLA IS ADOPTED--HAPPY SUNDAY!

 Lola just came into rescue.   She was with me a few days and then off she went to her foster home.

It did not take them long to realize she was a perfect addition to their home.   They decided to adopt her so she could stay forever.   Lola has a big reason for saying, HAPPY SUNDAY!!

JASPER-- SENIOR FOSTER BOY

 We have some senior foster dogs that are living their lives out in a safe place.   I asked for some new pictures of them, and am going to do some blogs on them.  

 This precious boy is Jasper!!

 Jasper came to us last year from a shelter near me.  We thought he was about ten at the time, but he is probably older.

 Jasper had a microchip, but the owner did not update it when she/he moved, so there was no current number.   There was no way to get him back to his home.  

We found out that Jasper (like Floyd) had a very bad heart-- a heart murmur and enlarged also.  He had some applicants, but they decided not to go forward with adopting.  Jasper was a lucky one, though.  He went to a forever foster home with Jannie and she said he makes her smile every day.   He is slow and he wheezes, but he is happy and that's what matters.  His foster mom loves him so much-- it doesn't get better than that!  

IT'S HOT!

 Floyd has the right idea when it's in the 90s.  Stay on the air conditioning vent.

 Gaby (formerly Gabriel) lives in South Dakota now.  He was adopted by a friend of mine who loves her pets!!  She has a horse, chickens, dogs, and a pig!  I don't know how hot it gets in South Dakota, but the cool floor probably feels great.

 Benjamin and Kai Kai think the tile feels great.  

 In the summer, when temperatures are rising, it can be almost too hot to breathe!   And if you're a Pekingese, with a flat face, it is even more difficult.  They should be outside only for a short time.  They can over heat quickly.  And the asphalt-- that can get so hot that it can burn their feet.  

 Jasper is catered to and so loved.  He is one of our forever fosters.   He stays inside when it's hot.  (And only goes out with his mom.)

Mr. Waddles only goes out for short times.  As dogs get older, it's even harder to regulate their breathing and temperature when it's hot outside.   So, be cautious with your pets during the summer's hot days.  

FAREWELL MOOSE

 Moose was a special boy who belonged to sweet friends of ours.   He was adopted by his dad from a local shelter.

 Time moved on, and Moose had kids and other dog friends.  He was very patient.  

 His mom adored him.

 Moose loved his babies!

Moose passed away today after having a stroke.  He was an old boy, but we are never ready to have them leave us.   My heart breaks for their loss of their beautiful boy.  Run free now, sweet Moose.  

RESCUE RUNS IN THE FAMILY

 Do you remember that Mattie was found by my daughter?   Molly (my daughter) has an amazing ability or gift to find pets in need.  Mattie was in the right place for Molly to find her that day and we are SO GLAD that she did!  

 Animals seem to find Molly.  And this crow is no exception.   We were out in her yard (and that's my house across the street-- we are close!), and saw this bird.  We walked close and he didn't move.  

 He could not fly and we didn't want to just leave him there.  So, she called animal control and they contacted wildlife rescue, who came out within 20 minutes to get the bird.   I told her I did Pekingese rescue-- and she said, "Oh, aren't they kind of mean?"   LOL  She then reached out and just grabbed the bird, with skill and knowledge.  I would not have done that!   She feels the same way about Pekingese!   So funny!

 I came back home after the bird rescue was done and there was Floyd, waiting for me by the door.  He is so loyal.

 Floyd can't hear, but Mattie was watching for me and when she came over, Floyd knew I was coming and he got up.   I love this picture!

Unlike crows, Pekingese are loving and loyal.   I'll take them over crows any day!
