Yoda Update

Yoda is doing very well.  Yes, he has settled down and he rarely chews things he's not supposed to.  Also, he's not humping anyone's legs anymore.  We all just love him so much.  He's very playful, but also cuddly and lovable.  He's laying next to me on the couch right now.  I attached some pics from my camera, but have to learn how to send the ones on my phone.  Thanks for checking in.

Pepe Update

Hi Laura,

Hope this email find you well! It's been a while since I've given you an update

on our Pepe and I thought you and your team would like to know how he's doing.

Attached is a family photo from Thanksgiving.

Pepe's had his ups and downs health-wise. In December, he had surgery to remove 2 bladder

stones. We've learned that he has irritable bowel syndrome and Addison's disease. 

With steroids and a special diet, he is doing well most days. 

He's still fussy about going for walks so my husband drives us about a mile from home and we 

get out and walk so he has no choice other than to walk, which he eventually enjoys!

He is getting lots of love and affection which I think is helping him a lot, too.

Hope the snow's not too bad for you and you and all your rescue dogs are fine!

Take Care!

Nancy 

 

 

Ellie Update

Hi there !  Ellie is fantastic.  She is such a sweetheart and sleeps under the covers at my feet each night.  She is a love bug!  She doesn't particularly like the cat but she has gained alpha status lol.  She shows no signs oh separation anxiety.  So glad she is part of our family.  She is sitting on me right now as I type.  Hope you are well!  I visited my friend john the other week. He adopted a cat named Ozzie from POA.  He is adorable!!!!  Hope this finds you well!

Finally It's Yoda's Turn To Go Home!!

Frankie Update

  Frankie saw our Vet for the first time yesterday.  He weighs 12.6 pounds. He was great - well-behaved and very friendly. Everybody loved his personality and found him very handsome. 

  We noticed that he didn't like to go out with the other dogs when it got too cold. They have these natural big heavy duty fur coats, and poor Frankie was shivering with the cold (although, he didn't mind the snow when it got warmer). We were using some of our dogs' old coats, but they just didn't fit right and kept sliding around on him. We tried shopping for some, but found no good fit anywhere. One lady at PetSmart said they don't seem to make coats for his length with his small waist and "barrel chest"! I guess he's just a MOOSE!

 So, Georgette picked up some materials and patterns and made him a coat and knitted him a sweater. These are some pics of Frankie with his new wardrobe. He's lucky to have such a crafty mom.

Chino/ Frankie Update

First of all we want to thank you Laura, for what you are doing for unfortunate animals and for people like ourselves. Know that, for us, you've brought together a great spirit and a family that needed each other. After just a couple of days, we've all become attached to each other. 

Levi Goes Home!

Sophie's Blog

My wife and I adopted Sophie in January, 2012.  We couldn’t take her home immediately due to our new home being renovated, but we would walk her every weekend where she was boarded so she would get used to us.  As long as we had her beloved cheese, she was happy as a clam!  The day we brought her home was so funny; she walked into the house and ran directly into her bed!  It is if she knew the house was already hers.  We even had the added the bonus of Sophie’s colors matching the room!

     Today, Sophie is still vibrant and lively as ever (though a little bit heavier).  She has proven to be quite the security guard with her constant roving of the house checking on things.  She loves basking in the light through the sliding glass door and running outside in our large back yard; however, she puts up quite the fuss when dealing with the cold.  She will whine almost immediately and if there is a space heater in operation, she will take complete control of it.  In addition, if the weather permits, she loves to go in my work truck when I go to plumbing calls. 

     Sophie has become an integral part of this family.  My wife and I can’t imagine not having her with us.  Thank you Protectors of Animals for giving us another member of the family.

Penny Update

How are you!  Little Penny graduated from obedience class last night! So, of course I wanted to send you some pictures of the big event. Penny's been doing pretty good, we're so proud! She learned a lot at class and is also getting an electric fence (from Gagnon's) next month so she can run and play in the yard with out a leash. She's been going to daycare about once a week and plays with most of my family and friends dogs very well! Included is also a picture of Penny with my friends puppy :) The last few pictures are just Penny snuggling, one of her favorite things to do! She's so stinkin cute! As for Chris and Penny, it's safe to say he is pretty much fallen completely for her at this point and now we have fun arguing over who she loves more (obviously its me haha). Hope all I well! Talk to you soon.

Sadie (Lena) Update

Good Morning! I cannot believe it has taken us this long to send some pictures of Sadie, you might remember her as Lena. My wife and I adopted her a little over a year ago and we wanted to send you a few pictures and let you know that she is doing great!

She has really been the perfect fit for us and we couldn't be happier and her big sister Annabelle loves having a playmate. When playtime is over you can guarantee Sadie will find one of us to snuggle up with. lol we encourage it!

Thank you again, POA is an amazing organization! 

Update on Marvin

Marvin has become Wally and is doing really well!  It's amazing, he still has his shy moments, but has become VERRRY vocal. He has seamlessly slipped into his place in the pack. He's a love and, believe it or not, a bit of an instigator. He's usually the first to bark! He and Woosah are hilarious together. Most people think that they're from the same litter. I hadn't realized that they really are just about the exact same size. Wally is a bit longer. He loves to harass Sita, even more so than Woosah! We adore him and are so grateful to you and POA for bringing such a wonderful little guy into our lives!

Paco and His New Brother

Attached please find your sweetheart Paco sitting with his puppy brother Dino!   Dino was at the Hartford Pound in October,   it was his last day,  and we just had to take him!  Paco loves to play with him!  They race around the backyard together and Paco knocks him on the ground!  Then they get up and do it again!  As you can imagine,   Paco never leaves my side!  But his best friend by far is Chip!!
Merry Christmas Laura!  You are an angel!  Thank you so much for giving us Paco as I cant imagine life without him!!  

Molly (Ruby) Update!

 Ruby (Molly) is doing great!!! We are sooo happy together! And everyone just LOVES her!! I've attached some photos of her. She's really such a sweetheart And whomever she came from was so foolish to give her up. She's truly a GEM!!!! But their loss is definitely my gain...bc I am very lucky to have her!

Oscar, The Celebrity at Vitas Hospice

My friend/neighbor Betty O'Reilly said she told you about Oscar being a celebrity making the front page of the Vitas Hospice Newsletter.  I have scanned the front page for you to see just how cute he is. 

 

Of course, I am not at all prejudice but I have to say some 3 years later that I am very much in love with this wonderful dog.  Medically, he is doing well and off all his meds.

 

He is quite the charmer at the Paradigm Nursing Home in South Windsor where we make weekly visits.  He loves to get on the patients beds while they feed him the biscuits that I supply.  He kisses and cuddles until he has had enough and then he looks at me with sad eyes saying "Rescue me, I have had enough".  Anyway, the staff and patients all love Oscar and he seems to enjoy all the fuss that they make over him.

 

Soon, Paradigm will have their Christmas Party and Oscar attends all there parties.  He will be in his Santa costume and walk proudly around the facility.

 

As always, I am so grateful to you and your facility for allowing me to adopt this wonderful dog.  Have a great holiday with your family.

 

Update on Chloe (Annie)

I'm so used to Tiara who will sit there pose for a picture. Chloe does not sit still! She is learning her tricks and absolutely loves to play with Tiara! She is so perfect for us we just love her! I plan on getting her groomed soon but she is so adorable. These pictures don't do her justice! I need to get some better ones to share with everyone!
