Lovers live longer, that's the truth!!!

Well, this certainly isn't the picture you'd imagine when you think of lovers, huh??!!

Actually, for those that know Preccie, she is the biggest lover, most avid licker and forever a mother -- she can't help it if God chose her to be a little stout -- !!

We did Satin's home-visit yesterday...

... and she came back today -- for reasons I couldn't understand -- all's well though -- this little lady deserves a 100%-committed home, with all she's been through, mothering her puppies and surviving the New Haven shelter -- we'll get you the perfect forever home, little girl!

As you can see, everyone was all worked up over the weekend, watching me clean -- !!

I don't know WHAT was up with Thor -- more wrinkles!!

Little Nibbles had a great visit yesterday, with a family from the farm-country in Northern CT -- paws crossed for your home-visit, Nibbies!

Here's Nib and his daughter, Pansy -- hmmm, wonder if they know -- I THINK SO!!

Thank you for the support and donations to Shirelle, too, for her upcoming cancer surgery -- the holidays are stressful as it is, and all prayers are appreciated...

-- She-She has been entirely switched over to raw food (she was a canned-queen before!), and I am a big believer that will only help her --

-- next, mother and son, Philly and moo-moo Elvis...

... it's amazing how much she still teaches him on play-technique and the like -- like two little gifts, they are...

... this picture is without comment -- yet they're lovers, once again -- !!

Now that things have settled down a LOT, I'll start the puppy placement updates --

-- here I am with Dea's Hoagie -- I couldn't be prouder of the adoptive parents -- I get so many emails and phone calls from them, chronicling what joys these loves are, and how they're already at obedience class, etc. with them -- this makes me so happy!

Finally, the list-serv, pb-smiles, has gotten a MAJOR upgrade, converting over to a forum-style format, instead of the email format -- much easier to use, and no more clogged-up inbox! We'd love for you to check us out -- just click the link below!
