Last year, many of our good friends and clients had dogs and kitties that traveled away from this life and onto The RainBow Bridge.    All were said stories but many were sadder still, as two of our friends were killed by a very sick person who decided to poison them, and one suffered a terrible accident, that could have happened to anyone, but instead took our friends life from him.      

Princess Daisy has just sent me a message from The Bridge and declared that she is terribly busy sorting out right now, and so please, could we hold off a bit.     The Princess is such a whiner baby.  I swear.   I already sent her our Lily of The Valley to help her out last year, and now, here she is complaining again.   

But in any event, I wanted to introduce you to some of our newest arrivals, and to ask all of you to give them a warm Everything & The Dog welcome.

First off - here is Mattie   Mattie doesn't look terribly happy in this photo, but since it was her first day in her Forever Home, she is probably still getting adjusted.    Yep....... by the end of the day, here she is with her new brother, Zackey

                                    Mattie on the left, Zackey to the right.

Zackey was a very, very sad pup when his big brother, a gorgeous yellow lab named Wally, had to leave for The Bridge.     We knew that when his Dad, Bill, would be ready then a new friend would come to live in their big, perfect for doggies, house.    Sure enough, along came Mattie, via Lab Rescue.    

                      Welcome to the World Mattie and please take special care of my Zack-Man.

AND NOW. Don't take a deep breath and blow it out, cause at 2.2 pounds, this little one might just blow away:

  This is Daphnee who has come to live with our wonderful friend and client, Janice.       Princess Daisy says that Daphnee's "big brother and sister" who were named Hank and Fiona, have taken over complete Angelic Duties for Daphnee.   They vow that nothing bad will ever happen to her and that she will live a long and totally wonderful life with Ms. Janice.     They even said that she can take over the house completely and have every single one of their toys, or anything else see might want.    


And now..... get ready for this little gal:  

                                                         


Our client, Jo, is waiting anxiouly to be able to bring "Little One" home with her.   At just four weeks, she still has to stay with her Mommy for a bit longer.         In case you wonder,  "Little One" (as we call for now for lack of a real name), is a dog called a Shorkie.     This means that her Dad is a Yorkshire Terrier and her Mom is a Shiz-Tsu.   In the Shorkie breed standard that is ALWAYS the case, never the other way around.

In general, we aren't overly encouraged to have "designer breeds" make more "designer breeds", but after all  - in truth, all dogs were at one time mixed breeds and then became standard at some point in history.    The breeder who is working with the Shorkie's has gone so far as to form the Shorkie Club of America just for the purpose of establishing breed standards and ultimately have the Shorkie Breed recognized by the AKC.  

If you would like more information about Shorkies, please ask your Mouse Person to fly you to Shorkie Club of America and there you can learn all about them.    Also, if you are thinking that a Shorkie might be an ideal dog for your family, please make sure that this symbol is on any web-site you visit as it is very important so that you would not have a puppy that hasn't come from a loving, caring home.

                                             


So theee of our deer friends have now opened their homes and their hearts to new family members.    We congratulate each and every one of you and watch for tomorrow's blogging as you will want to help us out with something that is really needed right now ---- a name.

Love and Licks


Bob
