Cory!

Cory loves the couch!

Cory seems to be doing Great! It took him no time at all to start acting like his normal puppy self! We are still working on all the chewing he LOVES to do! lol He has a vet appointment on Saturday - I think he may have dry skin or something as he sheds white flakes - we may need a special shampoo. He doesn't like showers so well!
He is growing and has learned to climb up and down stairs. His favorite spots are on the steps, under the coffee table and he loved the couch from day one! He often falls asleep on the couch with "dad", William. The boys are getting attached already as well and call Cory their brother - super cute!
We also learned that he doesn't like to potty outside when the ground is wet! That first day it rained all day we had a hard time getting him to stay outside long enough to potty. Other than that he is doing well with potty training. Still needs some help. We are excited for when he doesn't have to sleep in the crate at night. (and when we can sleep through the night without midnight potty breaks) We first have to have him be potty trained and taught not to chew on everything. We bought a spray for the furniture and seems to help but he will also chew on the walls and carpet. He has plenty of toys that we try to swap everytime he is chewing on something he isn't supposed to. Shoes are his favorite, of course.
Loves to snuggle!
He loves his belly rubbed and cuddles and playing outside and running around with the boys. I know he is going to have a lot of fun in the summer running in our back yard and being able to play more outside. He surely doesn't wander too far and keeps close to us. We just take it as a sign that he is loving us as much as we love him!

Ceasar!


Ceasar is settling in well. We did have to take him to the vets because he had a big rash the first few days he was here. Ended up getting steriods and antibiotcs for him. The rash is clearing up nicely. Added a few pictures of the already spoiled boy:-). 
 
Thanks Ben and Dede.

Megan!

A very happy tail is that Mom is in love with Megan.  In her words "I love that cat!"  She is so sweet. She minds very well.   She is quick to learn what the boundaries are.  With just a simple no when she goes somewhere she's not suppose to .
 
She will take long naps in unusual places like the laundry basket, but also loves her new blanket in the wicker basket.  She is getting less timid to noises and especially likes her Whiskas treats.  Very spoiled, but also affectionate.  Mom holds her wrapped in a receiving blanket in her lap.  Megan purrs like crazy whenever mom pets her...  Even though we felt bad about exchanging Whiskey for Megan it definitely was the right decision!!! 
 
Thank you again for your understanding and recommendation of Megan.  It's a PURRFECT match!!

We love both of them very much. They are a joy to have around and fit in perfect. Its been interesting watching how different they are from each other. They love to play and cuddle with the kids at night. Thank you for letting them be part of our family.

Kendra Jo!

HI and thank you for your email.  Kendra is doing very well and has settled a lot quicker than expected.  She plays and purrs and snuggles and is really a good kitten.  We are up at our cabin this weekend and she took the road trip very well and adjusted to the cabin in a few minutes.  She is a joy and I am glad we chose her.  Thank you for all you do for the animals.  It means a lot to me that somebody cares for those who can’t care for themselves.  All of our animals have always had middle names and it didn’t come to me what that should be until I received your email and I knew Jo would be it.  Thanks again.  Velvet and Bob

Konrad!

He's doing great! He is certainly loving his new home! He goes for at least 1 walk a day (sometimes two!) and is really settling in well. He's just started learning that all his toys are his, he got a new bone this week that he loves, and he has no problem stealing my side of the bed, haha. He's only had two instances of naughty behavior, but he's a quick learner, and is learning his rules. My parents have already fallen in love with him and taken on the task of being his "Puppy-grandparents" which apparently means they have express rights to spoil him. He really is a sweet boy and we love him to distraction! I do have a few photos, and one really cute video for you! 

Here is the link to the video (on facebook) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10202559322650465&notif_t=like

and the photo's will be attached! 

Thanks!

Christina now Hazel!

Hello- It's me.....Hazel! You'll remember me as Christina. I just wanted to let you know that I am doing very well and love my new home. My new mom and dad love me immensely! We do lots of fun things together; car rides, long walks in the woods, play ball, play with other dogs, go to work, snuggle on the bed, etc. I have lots of toys and a big fenced in back yard to run around. I love it! I am now 15 1/2 weeks old and I weigh approx. 27 pounds. They say that I'll grow into my paws and long legs some day. I am doing very well with training. I learned to go potty outside almost immediately. I also learned crate training quickly.
Mom keeps teaching me new tricks and I know how to sit, shake both paws and lay down. I also have this cool treat machine...the arm is a bone shape ...when I hit it, treats come out!  It's super fun and I love it! I am doing very well with leash training, too. Mom hopes to make me her running partner in the spring. We all wanted to thank you for finding me a new and loving home. I have adjusted really well and am very happy. I've attached a recent photo. I'm pretty cute, huh?? 
Love, Hazel

Kali now Pyewacket!

Kali, now Pyewacket, is doing splendidly. She is such a sweetheart and I feel so lucky that I got to take her home.

Heather now Maggie!

She is doing great! She's helping me read e-mails. Heather is going to be Maggie. I liked Mazie a little better, but Mark then pronounced it Macy, and we know some girls w/that name. I tried to stay away from names of people I know.
Anyway, she's adorable. The first day was a non-stop petting marathon. We were threatening to name her Velcro!
A long time ago, I said that IF I ever got one more cat, I'd choose a Maine Coon cat, and I'm sure that is what she is. She fits the description to a t--large, long fur, bushy tail, green eyes and her coloring and personality.
The claws may be a problem. She prefers the furniture to the scratching pad. She shares our bed at night, which is fun. I hope she's as happy here as we are to have her.
I'll keep you posted. Thanks,
Maude

Whiskey now Buckey!

Things are going well.  Only one issue encountered to date.  I had to trim his nails after a couple of days.  He was crawling up my mom's legs and arms leaving claw marks.  Once the nails were cut they are getting along famously. 
 
We made an appointment with Tom Harstad the end of the month for rabies shot and nail trimming.  Mom's day's are not dull.  He is a busy little guy and VERY spoiled!  He eats, drinks and poops a lot!  He has a cat tree and many, many toy's!  So all in all things are going great!
 
Here's a photo for you!
