He was the son of Joey and Zoey-- a brother/sister.   Momo was born with multiple "inbreeding" issues.  He was blind, and he was a little "off."
His mom Penelope "Baby" was older but she was a tiny precious girl.   (She passed away in October of multiple issues-- pacing, confusion, severe anxiety and she was very uncomfortable.  She was set free from all her pain.)  All were adopted except Momo.   And his temperament was determined to be unsafe to adopt out.   He went to his permanent foster home.  He lived with other dogs, and Sunny was his friend.  Sunny is also blind.Momo had a loving home there.  He was cared for and loved.   He finally found some peace.   His foster parents had to be cautious with him-- he had good and bad days.  But they had difficult ones before, and they loved Momo regardless of how he acted.   We believe he just couldn't help it. 

I wrote a few days ago that Momo wasn't doing well.  He was coughing and have trouble breathing.  The vet saw masses on his lungs and we knew that probably wasn't good.   Meds were begun, but yesterday, it became obvious that he was in great distress.  He was having trouble breathing at all, and was coughing badly.  The vet stayed open late so Momo could be set free and be able to breathe easy over the Rainbow Bridge.   His foster mom said, "I think he knew he was loved here."   I know that he did.   Run free precious boy.   You can now see and run and be happy.  💙🌈

 

In late 2019, we heard of 3 Pekes who needed help.  Their owner was dying and he reached out to see if we could take them.   
Could YOU resist those faces?  Ren, Jin Jin, and Mei Mei went to Beth and David's house for fostering.  They were so bonded, and we hoped they would stay together. 
And they did!   Beth and David adopted them all.   It was a wonderful day when they officially joined the family.   It made our hearts smile.   I bet it made your heart smile too.  💜💜💜

Granger saw that it was raining outside.  He found his favorite thing—a box.  In he went and now he is just going to wait it out. It’s going to be a wait Granger because more rain is coming.   🌧️☔️
 

Mojo came into rescue 5 years ago this month.  He was an owner surrender and he was partially paralyzed.   He received pain meds, a lot of care and therapy and regained the use of his back legs. 
He is a loving and sweet boy.  
It’s hard to believe that he is 13 years old. Happy birthday Mojo!  🎂🎉🎂
 

 

Tuk Tuk’s mom is a high school English teacher   The teachers in Virginia have begun.  Tuk Tuk doesn’t know how he feels about that.

Gigi thinks she should go.  She could help the students when they begin next week. 

Toasty is contemplating all this. 
“Tell me again why she has to leave us at home.”  There’s no good reason he can think of  

My daughter rides so she has fit in as many riding times as she can. Now she will have to ride after the school day. 
She came home yesterday to this scene.  So peaceful. A lot of deer live close by. 

Tuk Tuk was so happy she was home.  He’s definitely a mama’s boy. ❤️

Granger, my grand dog, came into rescue in 2016.   He was so good at first.  LOL But, then his personality came out. You could find him in a lot of places.   On a table...
In a cabinet. When he heard it was bath time, he tried to hide in the laundry.  He even said he wanted to learn to drive. He did get that bath.   Gigi did, too.  He likes to get on the bench in the yard.   That would have been a good place to watch his dad mow.But he really wanted to ride the mower.He had fun rolling in the newly cut grass.   Another bath.He liked to dig.   His original name was Digger-- we found out why.  And another bath.He's prepared for shade...
or sunshine One time, he wanted out of the room when his mom was gone.   So, he made his own exit.   Not his best day.  
He's older now, so he's not as active.  He likes vents to keep cool.  

And paper bags.   He's such a funny boy-- I've never had one who likes bags and boxes.At the end of the day, he finds a nice place to rest.   He's an adventurous, loving, funny, bad, good dog.   And we love him. 💓
