MAC IS A LUCKY DOG!
We absolutely LOVE Mac, he is the perfect addition to our family. Although he like the chickens a bit too much. (It’s OK, they’re in a pen) He wakes us up with a kiss every morning. Cute story, I was out on the deck with him shucking corn for dinner, he watched me for a minute, then grabbed one of the corn husks and pulled it off, he continued to do it till we were done with the corn. He loves his walks every morning. And is a great TV buff.

MEET YOGI AND HIS NEW FAMILY!Just a few photos of our wonderful Yogi during the last snow storm. Every morning, Yogi accompanies the children to school. Avery has taken the responsibility to make certain Yogi has a warm coat before heading outside. Without hesitation, he jumps into the car and finds his place among the backpacks, lunch boxes and school projects. Each day, upon our return from the school drop-off, we take our “Yogi” walk. When on our walk, he stops every so often to look back in my direction, making certain that I am proceeding at a healthy pace. If he feels that I have stopped for too long of a breather, he comes racing back to me at incredible speed, only to “hockey-stop” into me, with a large, contagious smile spread across his beautiful face. Right by my side, all day…he stays, following me from room to room, sweetly resting his chin upon my knee when I am at the computer. He is a bit skittish of our 6 month old kitten, Max, and will wait patiently by his bed while the kitten snoozes peacefully, waiting for his bed back.
Thank you for rescuing Yogi, for putting forth all of the time and love and for waiting for us to find him. We love him and can not imagine life here or anywhere without Yogi by our side.

MESSAGE FROM SAM’S NEW FAMILY“My whole family would really like to thank you again for allowing us to adopt Sam.
He really is a special dog and exactly what we were looking for. We’ve already taken a couple of nice hikes and Sam really likes to play in the snow. He’s eating well and seems very comfortable with his new situation. His inquisitiveness and playfulness are a joy to watch, and yes he does like to take odd items and move them around and play with them. So far this has not led to any destructive results, so it’s fine. He’s really pretty good on a leash and knows Sit. We’re working on Stay, Come and Heel at which point he will have more freedom.”

PEANUT FINDS PUP-PARDISECAWS often gets wonderful letters from folks that have adopted animals in need of a loving home. Below are some heart-warming thoughts from a wonderful woman who recently adopted Peanut, a wisp of a dog, rescued from a puppy-mill where she’d spent for entire life in a cage.
“Peanut is the ultimate lap dog, and you would have gotten a kick out of seeing her the other day with her back half on the arm of my recliner and her head resting on my lap! She has been a lot of company for me and has a wonderful disposition. As my sister said recently: “Peanut probably thinks that she died and has gone to dogie heaven!” Well, I’ll admit she’s already spoiled, but she deserves to be after a rough start in her life.
She’s a very happy dog and races through the house on occasion with lightening speed and has “howled” three times since she’s been here. I decided those are both traits from her dachshund side.
She accomplished a milestone today by going down the hall all by herself and using the pee pee pads that are in the corner of my computer room. Of course I praised her right away for “going potty on her mat,” and she seemed to be pleased. Well, I always praise her, but this time she wasn’t in her play pen or in my workroom with the door closed, so it was special.”
