Hello from Shadow!

Hello from Shadow and her new companions, Scooby and Little Girl! They all gave me a new name, a little more "flower-y" than Shadow. My family calls me "Daisey" now.

I am fantastic! I learned from my new owner that I am a breed called a "Russian Blue" and have the white powdered sugar sprinkles on my tail, which proves it! I sleep in between my new mum and pop every night, and cry if they go away. Of course, I wait by the door until they get home, and am the first to greet them. They have dry food and fresh water daily, and I have already gained some weight!

I have the run of a big house, but never go outside. I have two screen porches to sit on where I watch chipmonks, birds and squireels. I can't wait 'til mum opens the big door each morning so I can go on the screen porch with my brother and sister. They like me fine, and I play "Catchers" with the big guy, Scooby. Little Girl likes me, too.

My new owners LOVE ME VERY MUCH, and I love them too. I am glad you kept me safe and warm for so long, so I could have a good home now.

Bye for now,

Daisey

Paco

Paco is doing really well!

He is totally house trained, loves to go for walks and his favorite toy is a stuffed eyeball that fell off of one of Aja's bigger toys. He likes to sleep UNDER the covers, thank you very much, and if not allowed to do so will look at you with a look that Sarah McLaughlin could write a song about. Paco comes to work with me at the vet clinic almost every day where, of course, everyone loves him. :)

Thanks so much for taking care of him all that time, I'm, sure he would tell you It was well worth it!

Melissa

Meeko

Meeko has settled in very well. He is the class star and is completely hours trained. He still gets excited around other dogs and has a hard time listening when his is distracted, but he is learning quickly. He is such a blessing in my home and brightens every day. Thank you so much for helping me adopt him.

Anni!

Hey there!

Nubbins (Anni) is doing great! She's healthy, happy and has easily blended into our family. Our 10 year old collie Hester has taken to her with no problems....though gets annoyed with her puppy behavior and nibble attacks! Nubbins is really sweet and relaxed most of the time, but has her pupy spaz attacks a few times a day. She's diong great with potty training...only 1 or 2 accidents a week. She is super snuggly, super sneaky, super cute, super nibbly, super pain in the "A" sometimes...but all in all SUPER! We'll bring her by for a visit this Sept. when we're at our cabin in Siren.

Thanks again and see you soon!

Shiloh

Colt aka Shiloh is doing GREAT. My kids went with Colt because of the colt 45 gun and he is as fast as a bullet. He sits, lays, army crawls. On the hot days he likes to take dips in the pool with the boys. He is a very fast learner. You can tell he came from a big littler or the big dogs took his toys, he eats his food like someone is going to take it from him and he tends to hide EVERYTHING that he finds, his or not. Shoes, bones, toys, just anything. So we have brought him lots of toys but some days we can't find any of them. He gets along really well with the cat, friends have brought their dogs over and he has been really great. So thank everyone for us for taking such great care of him. We are very lucky God blessed us with a new family member.

Yours friends

Johnny aka Chewbacca the Wookie

Johnny is rapidly becoming my pride and joy. We renamed him Chewbacca the Wookie since my husband, John, thought he looked like the Wookie from Star Warrs when I got him home. He goes by Chewie and picked up his new name within 24 hours.

He is the most Amazing, and I cannot stress amazing enough, little guy. He continues to make me laugh with antics and I never dreamed how huge his personality could be. He absolutely loves his brother and sister and the pool in the backyard gets a daily use from him. When I have let them outside during the recent intense heat, he loves to lay down in it and put his head on the side. He even appeared to be asleep the other day.

Chewie loves to wrestle with Tazzi our Swedish Vallehund (she is his size) and he is lso fascinated by the cats. He doesn't chase them, but has to sniff and rub up against them and even climb up next to them on the back of the couch and go to sleep.

He hasn't even had an accident in the house!!! He sleeps next to me on the bed, walks on his leash like a champ and loves car rides. He is PERFECT! I would never ever guess he is about nine years old. He goes in for his Lyme's booster with Dr Tom in Webster. Of all th rescue dogs I have had over my lifetime (I'm 45), he is without a doubt the most grateful and loving. When I get home from wherever, he does the cutest little teddy bear dance on his back legs and goes around in circles.

I will gladly bring him by for a visit sometime when we are up at our cabin. Please thank everyone there for me and Chewie too. You are to be commended for everything you do.


Lots of love and gratefulness,

Suzie and Chewie,

P.S. He love his new haircut!

Little Grey and Alex

Little Grey is now named Ciner. She and our little maltese dog "Tripper" seem to be in love. Lol. They sleep together, give each other baths, and the dog tries to share his ball and chew toys with her. It is sooooo adorable. She goes around chasing his tail and he pulls her along until shes tired. She is our little explorer. She needs to see what everythig is and what is in every nook and cranny.

Tlex is now names Tanner, with a nickname of Chainsaw. He purrs so loudly, that you can hear him across the house that my finance calls him a little chainsaw. We rub his chin and its like revving up an engine. He has become more of the cuddler, wants to be held as much as possible, and greets me when I get home from work. He doesn't seem to know how to Meow yet. Instead he makes this squirlly sounds. Makes it very eash to know which cat is sneaking up to you.

In the last week and a half they have grown much. We tried keeping them to a few rooms at first but they wanted the whole house. And since they were already litter trained (not a single accident!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU) we let them have free roaming. They like to sleep in my daughters bed and hide toys under her desk. They have become more and more playful. They sound like elephants now running through the house when they are wrestling, chasing each other or a ball. They can do quite the acrobatic tricks. THen when the dog gets involved, its so comical watching they all play and chase and when the kittens decide to gang up on him, we laugh all night long.

Anyways - Thank you again for these little ones. They fit into our new home just perfectly and they are very happy.
