Coco
Hi Joy!
We thought you might like this latest picture of Coco (crippled little toy poodle adopted May 6, 2009) and a Christmas stuffed toy, Santa Paws. Coco has bonded to me quite easily and we love each other dearly. He is right here now by my chair as I type, telling me he is ready for “beddie bye” so I will put him in “our” (his and mine) bed. He is so sweet. He goes for grooming every six weeks and loves the ladies at the grooming salon but it breaks both of our hearts when I have to leave him. The owner always lets me pick him up in two hours, less than the usual time for pickup. She understands our attachment.
Thanks again Joy for suggesting Coco to my nephew, Ben Gill, to adopt for me. Couldn’t have been a better choice.
My best to you and all the “little people” at the shelter. God Bless all of you!
Fran H. and Coco
Hi Joy,
Dear Joy,
Hi Joy and Tom,
Hi, my name is Sandy, and I’m emailing you to give you an update on the border collie puppy I adopted October 3, 2009. I went to pick her up an hr drive from my house, with my dad and boyfriend, and when I saw her, I fell in love. I named her Navi, prounounced (nah ve). I named her after a fairy from one of the Zelda video games because its most commonly used phrase is “hey, listen” and that is what the little puppy does. She is doing very good and has gone from 9.8lbs to 18lbs. She’s still a baby though, and some mornings decides that she still wants to be carried down the stairs. She’s teething, so she’s been chewing everything, but other then that, she’s doing great. Navi is pretty much house trained, she’ll only have an accident if its really raining outside cause she doesn’t like to get wet, or even go out when its raining even though I hold the umbrella over her, not me. I figure its something that she’ll get better with in time. She now sleeps through the night without the need of a mid-night potty break. Navi loves toys that squeak and is starting to learn the names of her toys, she has a squeaky toy turtle that I told her to get today and she ran to the turtle, grabbed it and got half way back to me before she got distracted. I can’t tell you how happy I am, and her training will only get easier the more I work with it, and when she’s done teething, which the vet said should be soon. Enclosed is a picture of her outside 5 days after she came home. Thanks for bringing this little nut into my life.
Hi Joy! This is Bianca Sue, now named Snickers. She is living a healthy, fun life in Charlotte. She has been with us for 1 year. She is a guard dog. She barks at EVERYTHING! We love her. We are so thankful we found her. She is the sweetest, cutest, watch dog EVER! Thank you SOSOSOSOSOSOSO much for rescuing her for us. She is the best dog I could ever have or wish for.
Just wanted to let you know what an amazing dog Sam is…he is a super addition to the family! He got much taller and is now quite a handsome boy. He’s been a joy to have in the house…but seems to think he’s a lap dog. 🙂 After his initial antibiotic treatment he never had an accident in the house, and he even rings a bell when he needs to go outside. He is such a smart boy and has learned lots of tricks like ‘shake’, ‘high 5’, and ‘beg’. He has definitely adjusted to the comforts of home! We all have so much fun with him!
Hello from Nellie,
Hi Joy,
Hi Joy! It was so nice to see you today at Cedar Animal Hospital. You were right when you said our girls missed us! They’d only been in boarding 2 nights, as we had family in town that can’t handle big lovins.
