Happy Endings

'Odell' the catahoula puppy with my other rescued, 3 year old, Pitbull mix of somekind, 'Maia'. This is the very first night they were together! I knew right away it would work out just fine!!

She's not a big fan of toys just yet, although she really likes stuffed animals (ripping and chewing them that is), so she only gets them when we can watch her - sometimes we feel bad because it seems all the things she enjoys playing with she ends up tearing apart and we have to take them away. She's really smart and has already learned to sit, lay down and almost heel!

Regan is doing well, spoiled rotten, king of the hill. He is a couch potato 100% and sleeps in my sons bed with him at night. He has decided he prefers the canned food over the dry but we worry about his teeth so mix a half a can with dry food. He is the best dog in the world!!! We love him dearly.

One the first day home, Jax took to Annie immediately. Trek, the smaller of our two Basenjis and the alpha wanna-be, took about an hour to really get over the fact that he wasn't the alpha anymore as Annie quickly came in and displayed who was boss. ;o) Needless to say, Kari, Jax, Trek and I are very thankful that you selected us for Annie's step-parents.

This family picture obviously doesn’t include Abita’s new feline sister, Boo. She refuses to be in the picture until Abita has better manners.

Patches is living in his forever home with his new adopted family.

He is such a wonderful, beautiful, smart, loving and easy-going soul. Enormous thanks go to each of you for all the energy, effort, caring and love you have invested in him. "Our Smokey" will always mean to us -- OUR'S, absolutely including Mary, Bill & Kathy!

We are simply thrilled with Jake and how easily he joined our family. Can't imagine a better dog, we thank our lucky stars daily.

Bealle playing with her best buddy - our 7 month old mini-weiner dog, Frankie. The two of them play like lions, with Bealle frequently wrapping her entire mouth around Frankie's head and neck! Bealle is so ginger with him, though - it's amazing! They gallop through the greenhouses and around the property like a pack of wild dogs!

Rosie loves the snow. Rosie found a friend, another rescue dog from Illinois named Molier and later renamed Onyx. Rosie didn't like just any dog but she sure liked him. Her foster Mom asked the adopter if he would consider Rosie and he said he might. She went for a visit, he saw they got along and how much Rosie loved kids so Rosie now has a wonderful home with her bestest dog friend and kids to play with and a nice yard to run and play in.

We live on a dead end road and have a huge field behind our house where we walk the dogs. She took her first walk with us and our other two dogs and seems to love both the walk though the woods and the wide openness of the field. She is so beautiful and so sweet, we are incredibly happy to have her as the newest member of our family. (Taffy on right next to her new kitty friend and two new dog siblings)
