Milkshake (Dustin)

milkshakeMe (on the left in the picture) and my sister Michelle (on the right) did a bake sale on August 1st. We made over a hundred dollars but because our expenses we only could donate $44.00  to each organization, UNICEF and GARD. Michelle chose to donate to UNICEF because she said they donated to all causes. I chose to donate to gard because I love animals and Milkshake (now Dustin) (middle of picture) came from GARD.

GOLD STARS in Heaven and on Earth for you Joy!!!

Chessie (Casey)

caseyswimcaseywatchHi Joy,

I wanted to share with you some photos of Chessie – now Casey. He is having a whirlwind of a summer in New Hampshire and Cape Cod! He even met celebrities Drew Barrymore, Jimmy Kimmel and other Saturday Night Live cast members at the Wolfeboro, NH Parade on July 4th (they all were patting him and complimenting him!).

Casey is an amazing dog, just as you said. We adore him and he has settled right into our family. Even our alpha female Boston Terrier likes him!

These photos show him taking his first swim in Lake Winnipausakee, and checking out the waterskiers…

Thank you for sending us such a wonderful guy, we feel blessed to have him.

Madoo

This is one of our dogs who went up north and stayed with a friend of ours.  Her new mom could not go pick her up and our friend Cassie got her friends the pilots to give her a ride!!!  We had Miss Madoo 2 years after we rescued her from a crack neighborhood in Garden city.  She’s come a long way!!

Hi! Madoo is HOME! : ) She flew from PA to CT to meet her mom at the airport.  Thank you so much Don and please thank your co-pilot for me! She was wonderful and Madoo wouldn’t be home if it weren’t for the two of you! I am so happy she is finally home! Madoo has been waiting two years for her forever family and now she is finally home where she will be loved and cared for by a wonderful couple.  Cassie, thank you so much for putting me in touch with Linda! She is so sweet and put me in touch with Don who didn’t hesitate to offer his time/plane to help Madoo.  I might have to learn to fly now! It looks amazing! Madoo was wonderful on the plane and looked out the window and then fell asleep over NJ. : ) Thank you so much for everything you all have done to help Madoo make it home.  I miss her already! She is such a loving and affectionate dog.  Thank you all for helping her! I’m so glad I was able to foster her and meet her and help her make it home.  She was wonderful around my dogs and little sisters while I fostered her.

Rusty

rusty1rusty2My daughter, Amy, has fostered quite a few dogs and lots of them she has brought over to show my husband and I.  Of course they are all so cute and it’s always tempting to get another dog.  (I had a mutt that was part cocker spaniel for 14 1/2  yrs.  Abby was her name and she was the best dog ever.  We had to put her down 4 yrs ago.  What a loss that was.)  Ever since then I wondered if there would be another.

So on a cold day in February Amy brought Rusty here to show us another of her fosters’.  We went outside and played, wrestled and just had a great time.  That night I went to bed and got just about zero sleep.  I tossed and turned and imagined him outside working in the yard w/ me, going for walks, etc as my Abby had done.  My reluctant husband agreed we’d “try” to see  of he would work out.  Well, here it is , July, and it’s the best choice I’ve made in a long time.  My husband loves him too!!
