Bella

We adopted Cashmere and changed her name to Bella. I've never owned a dog before, and just 3 days later, I love her more every day! She's the sweetest little pup ever; she follows me around the house, loves to cuddle, loves to go for walks, loves everyone she meets, and has claimed most of the cat toys as her own.

The cats aren't too sure what to make of her, but every day there's progress and I think it's sinking in that Bella is not going away. We just make sure we give everyone lots of love and attention.

It's obvious she got TONS of love in her foster home; thank you for taking such good care of her!

Our Maddy

We changed Madams name to Maddy and as you can see in the picture, she has adapted beautifully with us and our other pets. She is a little clown that loves to delight her mommy doing little circles and standing on her back legs begging for a treat. She is so much a part of my life now. I cant imagine her not being with us.
After the initial greet and meet with our other rescue dogs, she found that my lap is the best place to be. She loves going to town with me and of course gets lots of attention from her public.
I adore this little love. She is my therapy dog. When my day gets rough, I look at her and there is my little sunshine with lots of wet kisses and her little tail going a mile a minute. She brings smiles to everyone she meets. I cant thank you enough for allowing us to adopt her. She is a lot of love in such a little package.

Jasper the Friendly Doggie

Jasper is as adorable and animated as he looked on the PUP website. The woman who was fostering him said he worked well with other dogs. Jasper is fun to hang with at Dog Parks for that reason. In a matter of a couple days Jasper has managed to learn how to sit, play fetch and go in his crate when ordered. He is extremely smart. Right now we are working on his separation anxiety by leaving him by himself for five to ten minutes at a time. Each day is progress which makes my girl and I really geeked about our adoption. We love Jasper and are very fortunate to have found such a sweet doggie.Did I mention how cute he is? These photos speak for themselves. Jasper says hi everyone...

First Week Home with Draco (formerly Ricardo)

I took little Ricardo home last Saturday and we have had a great week! His name has been changed to Draco (he didn't seem to know Ricardo all that well) and he is getting to know it very quickly. We've been on countless walks, trips to the pet store and the dog park. He lives for a nice long walk! He loves meeting new doggie friends when he's out and is very slowly getting used to people. He even won over everyone at the vet's office.
Draco is a complete little cuddle bug! He's happiest when he's curled up right next you and has his head in your lap. He loves to feel wanted so call his name and his curly tail goes crazy! Get down to pet him and he wants nothing more than a good tummy rub! He enjoys sunning on my deck and taking in some good smells.
I think he's becoming really comfortable and he's starting to realize how loved he is. I saw a bumper sticker that said "Who Rescued Who?" and it's just so true. This little guy is bringing such love, joy and companionship. Enjoy these first week pictures though I think we've taken about a thousand more already! The first picture is after we got him home- he was exhausted! The second picture is him with his favorite toy- a stuffed fox. Finally, the third picture is of him sunning on the deck.
Love,
Heather & Draco
