WHAT a week!!!
| We had a GREAT week, going home for Thanksgiving... and along the way spreading some joy. Here I am at Striker's placement, with his new love, a rescued Jack Russell / Beagle mix... |
|
|
Jim came over with his FOUND girl, TINA -- !!! Jim found his little girl TWO MONTHS after she was stolen out of his yard -- GOOD WORK JIM! Click HERE for their story -- |
| So, a 7 hour drive... with a car full of poopers... um, I mean puppers -- :D |
|
|
Our first stop, heaven on earth... and Pino's forever home... |
| Pino is Dea's son, and his new momma is in my Mom's prayer group -- little Pino will now live on a 40 acre peach farm -- story to come! |
 |
|
Next, to my parents... and little Elvis is full of exploration... ! |
| First, the cast of characters -- my niece, Izzy, and nephew, Jack... |
|
|
... who both quickly pre-empt me for Thomas the Train -- |
| Elvis says a "SAL-LUTE" with tongue wagging... |
|
|
Izzy break-dances away from him -- it's moon-walk time -- !! |
| Izzy loves her stuffed animal kitty, too -- ! |
|
|
The kids become quickly tired of my antics, so Elvis and I move on to the next bebbie... |
| ... and that's Mike, Jack's twin -- we're playing cash-register this morning... |
|
|
Elvis quickly makes chaos of order, and Mike cries... in short, we're audi... |
| ... to the dishwasher... and Elvis likes what he sees! |
|
 |
Hike it up there, chub-boy! |
|
Next, it's dinner, and foster Pansy enjoys some loving from Izzer-ba-jizzer... |
| Carol loves on little Midnight... a returned pup from Satin's litter, because "the cat ran away the day we got Midnight and didn't come back" -- |
|
|
-- well, Midnight shows Carol what a little ham she is.. ! |
| Next, Joey, my brother-in-law, and Jack -- um -- Joe and I do NOT look alike -- he's married to my s-i-s-t-e-r, remember! |
|
|
On our way home, we stopped in Mass and met up with some foster-friends -- here's a baby and his boy... |
| ... and the pit bull persona continues -- loving and licking -- and teaching this little man what a magnificent breed this is... |
|
|
... shhhh.... don't tell him he's only a foster! |
| Next to Mom, who adopted this lovely Shepherd / Pit mix from the local shelter... |
|
| Just to compare, foster Nibbles is a German Shepherd / pit mix, too -- the sweetest boy ever -- caught on the wrong side of a divorce, and thrown in a kill shelter -- THANK YOU SHERRY FOR HELPING HIM OUT! He is up for adoption here. |

On our ride back up to CT, we meet up with Linda, a proud Momma to Joshy, a 100 lb. Golden --
-- AND SHE ADOPTED MOMMA DEA --
-- I couldn't be happier -- Linda is an exceptional Mom to her pups, and Dea is the best female I have ever had --
-- story to follow --
|
| -- our last leg of the trip saw Midnight going to her new home with the newlywed couple and the wise greyhound / weinereimer rescue -- |
|
|
-- finally back at home, little Pansy gnaws on a frozen mackerel -- |
| -- and says, "I'm a big girl -- I can eat it all by myself -- !!" |
|
|
-- Nibbies settles in for the night, and we finally rest -- |
Oh, the things you learn on home-visits -- what wonderful, caring people there are out there -- and I am eternally thankful to have the energy and ability to help these loves.. |
