Marcie

I just took Marcie in to the Cancer Center last week for her six-month checkup and they said she is in total remission (which I might have told you in the card) but I received a call from her vet two days later and they decided they wanted me to give her the chemo pill every other day instead of every day and then bring her in next week when they will do a blood test on her to check her red blood cell count. If possible, it would be nice to not have to give her a pill every day (Even though she has no reaction whatsoever to them). April will be 3 years since she was diagnosed with lymphoma---we are so blessed to have her—and, believe me, she is soooooo spoiled. She considers grandma as hers and, when she doesn’t sleep with us, she sleeps practically on top of mom—it’s so funny and Marcie looks up at us as though she is saying “What?”

Say “Hi” to Sally. I must call her soon. She is so wonderful!

Lots of Hugs,

Richard, Sandy, Grandma and Marcie

Sidney

Hi Susi,

In a few more days it will be the anniversary of the day Sidney adopted me!! It will be 7 years. I can't believe it. SEVEN. It seems like just yesterday I saw that sweet little puppy face looking at me from your website.

The picture I've included is a daily occurrence. When Marq and I settle in to watch TV with Sidney and his 3 fur-siblings, we see him relax on his favorite chair and within a half an hour all four feet are pointing at the ceiling. It makes me smile every time I see it.

The next pic is on my desk looking at me every day. I had it taken at Muttropolis last year. When we first adopted him, I talked to a Chinese Crested breeder who said it was common for a black puppy to grow out to other colors. But, Sidney is a rare beauty. He still has the white bib and chin, with everything else beautiful black hair. The stuffed snake beside him is Sidney's all time favorite toy. On his first birthday I took him to Muttropolis. We walked all around the store until he picked out his birthday present. He loves that snake. He still calls me every morning to play with it with him.

The link is a great video. It's a few minutes of one of our Intermediate Agility classes at Wags and Wiggles Day Care. The instructor Lysa is amazing. Sidney is his usual calm, cool, and gentlemanly self. We had a fabulous time taking the class. I made him a jump out of PVC pipe from Home Depot and bought a kiddie crawl tunnel at a garage sale. So, we have our home agility course to keep playing with.

Thanks again for letting us give this amazing little man his forever home.

Victoria

hello!!

Victoria is doing well. Outside, she still would love to nip all people in long pants.

She thinks that my bed belongs to her too. Sleeps real close to me.

How are you doing and Sofia?

love Victoria and Ursula

Desiree and Zozo

Here are 3 happy girls who adore each other. I am forwarding their Christmas photo as I don't know if I sent it to you. Pippi and Zozo provide endless entertainment playing for hours on end!

Razzie and Holly

We just want to thank you again for our wonderful little Red Head Irish Poodle. She makes our family complete. Every day is another adjustment between the girls, but in a good way.

We all love her very much and can't imagine our family without our darling little Razzie. She turns our happy days into funny days. She never ceases to amaze us with her jesters and at the same time entertain even the cats.

We love you guys,

Mike, Junie, Holly, Razzie, Ziggy, and Boots

XOXO

And here is Razzie's sister, Holly and 2 brothers, Ziggy and Boots, playing!!

Zsa Zsa

I just love spoiling her.

She got stuffed animals, a blanket, special towels for bathing and drying, a
leopard raincoat with pink fur hood, a red sweater with scarf and pom pom, a
black sweater with leopard collar, a beautiful pink cable knit sweater,
yummies, and tons of other stuff I cannot remember. Yes, I tried to make up
for all the years she lost. Can you blame me?

To all who have seen the stack of dog beds in my bedroom: You will be
pleased to know that I did NOT buy Zsa Zsa another bed.

Thank you Little Dog Rescue for changing my life.

Love to all,

Lynn

Hi Susi & Francois !

My Christmas hope is that every dog be as lucky as I was to find great “parents” through LDR, so they can live happily ever after !

With love & thanks,

Razzie and Holly

Merry Christmas from the Allens.

Bella

Could not get all 3 to cooperate for a picture but two is good. Bella is so excited to open her stocking.

Merry Christmas!!!

Cashmere

Hi Susi and Francois,

It's hard to believe over five years have past since I adopted Cashmere (formerly Macy) from Little Dog Rescue. She continues to be a constant source of joy (and amusement) and a great playmate to her Pekingese "sister" Karma. I thought you'd get a kick out of this photo. I was sorting laundry, and she climbed into the pile of sheets and made herself comfortable.

I hope everyone in the Cahn family has a very merry Christmas and a great 2012 of rescuing more little fur babies and placing them into loving homes.

From our house to yours, happy holidays,

Barbara Wellington, Cashmere, and Karma

Max

Hi, trying to send you some photos of Sir Max.

Sorry, I'm not the best computer lady.

He is not only one handsome dude. He is a sweet and loving little boy and a great friend. And also a wonderful snuggle bunny

Rosie

Hi Suzi !!

This is the extent of my Christmas greetings. Just a personal up-date from
here, and my fondest wishes for a merry Christmas and hope your coming year
is a happy one, full of love from family and friends. I can no longer
write and address individual cards that the USPS could even read, so this
is it.

Enjoy, and keep the e-mails coming, so we can all stay together often in
this coming year.

Love to all; John L. and "Otis"

Our dear friends, Bill and Val. Truly, the worst foster parents ever!!! WHY??? Because they fall so in love with our kids.....That's why they have six!!
Those LUCKY babies!!!

Hi guys. Here are a couple of shots - Timmy and Oliver are usually
together, sometimes on the same pillow, but Millie is independent.
Very seldom sleeps on the bed - and here are some examples. Millie is
patrolling for squirrels.

Here is a picture of Bella after her bath. She had an ear infection and it left her ear all shaggy looking. She has gained back all her weight and a happy little girl Not at all spoiled!!!

Have a wonderful Christmas

Barb

Hi to my wonderful Godparents Susi and Francois and to Sofia and Razzie:

Can you believe it is Christmas? Mommy had me sit in a chair today along with Gracie and Maggie to have our pictures taken. I love to pose, but my sisters don't like it. We have our Christmas tree up and I have been helping mom decorate the house. Oh, how I love to help decorate! I hide some of the decorations and then mom has to go look for them. The wrapping paper is fun too-I like to roll it around on the floor. I am going to school-just part-time! I attend a Bitsy Class with Sue Myles on Saturdays. I am certainly not a bitsy boy, I am a big boy now, I weigh 20 pounds. Mom said I needed to learn a few more manners (I think it's silly), but Sue is so nice and so funny. I call her Auntie Sue. I love going to class and visiting with my friends-plus when I do just the right thing I get treats, and boy do I like those treats. Zsa Zsa is in my class and she is really a cutie. She has the best clothes-but since I'm a guy type I don't like those little outfits. Sometimes I have to wear a sweater when it is cold, and that's about all I can handle!

I hope you have a Merry, Merry Christmas and kisses to all of you.

Much Love,

Bailey Young (Mom Sue, Dad Jeff and Sisters Maggie and Gracie)

Hi Aunt Susi and Uncle Francois,

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

It's a little chilly up here in the mountains. My jammies and nightcap keep me toasty.

Love, Jazzie

Claire wanted me write and tell you just how happy she is and send you a picture of her and her new sister. Claire loves her sister with all her little heart. They share everything without even a little grrrrr. It took a long time to figure out that Claire only likes other little white dogs like herself and Sophia. So when a friend made a mistake in getting a puppy and couldn't take care of it, I gratefully took Lola. Claire loves her to pieces. They sleep in the same little bed and share the same food plate. They are two little peas in a pod, just like Claire was with Sophia. They play tug-of-war, keep away, and sometimes just run super fast all around. Lola gave Claire a new outlook on life and turned her into a puppy again.

Claire trained Lola for me to be perfect just like she is, and to be crate, purse and stroller trained and they both hop right in the purse together, it's quite funny.

So Claire, Lola, Lantz and I wanted to wish you both Happy Holidays and say thank you once again for choosing us to have Claire because Claire made our whole life happy.

I will send you a better photo as soon as my camera juices up. But this at least gives you an indication of what Dixie and Pippi do for hours on end. And this is what the three of them look like to me.

So, Dixie started inciting Desiree to rough house with her. They chased each other up and down, teased, and went crazy. Finally, Desiree just did the "crazy running" routine and exhausted herself. Sooo. . .Dixie attacked Pippi. First, Pippi ran wild, weaving in and out, behind chairs (she is a Chihuahua), figure eights around tables, with Dixie at her heels. Then they spent a good 10 -15 minutes lunging and feinting, with Pippi showing remarkable agility. I do believe Miss D could have gone on all night! She is obviously feeling much better and the three of them playing is a joy to see. And, in between, she is a big cuddle bug. She obviously enjoys having two crazy hoydens for sisters!!!
