Dina the Little Shepherd Girl

I am Chris roomate ( Dina's owner) and Dinas's babysitter when Chris is at work. I wanna drop you a line with Dina's progress. She is such a shy but sweet dog. We had her now for 5 days and everyday she learns to trust a little bit more. It will take time and patience but we love her. The first couple of days were terrible, she wouldnt eat and then she got loose of her leash and went under a huge bush in my yard for about 14 hours. It took our neighbors help to get her out of the bush. For the past 3 days, she has been eating and learn quickly were her bowl and water is. she is a very smart dog. She loves to sleep in the bed with me, and wakes me up in the middle of the night to play. We go for rides in the car and she loves it, also we excersice a mile everyday, something I also needed but havent done in 10 years....this dog is a God send. Dena is very skittish around people and even us, but for the past 3 days she had decide to follow me around from a distance.....no matter which room in the house I am, she will show up and lay quietly by my side.....she is so sweet. he also loves treats, and will do anything for one. Yesterday I took her to my vet for a general check up, and she had to get a couple of sutures from her spaying redone but other than that she is very healthy. I love this dog, and I know it is gonna take a lot of time and love to get her back to the social and happy dog she should have been sometime ago. I want to thank pet rescue by judy for bringing such a joy into my house and be assure Deena will have all the love, training and attention necessary for years to come. Here goes a picture of her, however she is so shy it is almost impossible to get her to stay for a photo session. Greetings and thanks again, Lourdes and Chris 10/6: Well, it's been a month - this dog has become the most important thing in my life. My significant other is her playmate. She loves to play tug with her rope toy. She follows me everywhere I go in the house. She seems to have an issue with bathrooms and sheds. I suspect she was locked up in one or both. Regardless, we move forward. I don't think she's going to be getting a bath here, we'll take her to the groomed, I'll be more comfortable with that. She LOVES peanuts!! Unsalted shelled, those are her treats. Deena has three places she loves to lay, the office, the living room and, of course, the bedroom. She has 2 x 4 rugs in these spaces so she is off the floor. In the bedroom she has her cozy bed for nights, but daytime she is on the bed! We are sticking to our routine, I think she needs it and loves it. She knows what to expect from us and what we expect from her. I take her out on the leash in the morning, she has her places she likes. We still use the leash (even though we are fenced in) she gets spooked buy noises, if the well pump gets on while we are out, she freaks. I do 30 minutes on the eliptical every night with music on, she lays on the living room rug and watches - no problem! She has meant so much to me and I think she knows how much I love her! I can hardly wait to see how much more she grows in her trust of humans. All I really want or expect from her is that she is happy and I see a smile in a month or two. Almost thought I saw one today, but maybe not. I am very patient! Almost forgot - the first few days she jumped in the bed, then when she got her own bed she didn't. The past two days when she wakes, she'll put her feet up on the bed and wait for an invitation. She's too sweet!

Daine the Orange Kitten

Daine has a new family and a new name ~ Perry! He is doing SO well. He's such a well-behaved little kitten and he and Pixie have become such great friends. He is a HUNGRY little kitten, constantly eating or playing. I love him so much and thank you so much for helping me adopt him :) ~ Madeline O.

Damaris the Siamese Kitten

Congrats on finding great homes for all those cute kittens and they were so cute!! Here is Damaris and Zach who is slowly coming around to the new ball of energy in our home!! It is so unbelievable how I can love him so much so fast but he is the most loving and sweet thing besides this tiny ball of energy!! Thanks again for choosing me to be his new mom!! ~ Phyllis D.

Dizz

We adopted Ditz (I think that's what you called him) in August 2007. We call him Dixon, or good boy and sometimes Buddy. He's healthy, happy, loved and a great companion for myself, husband and our bulldog Charley. Thanks Judy ~ Chris

Dusty

Happy New Year! WOW - What a darling Dusty is! Emily was shocked and soooo excited! Just until a few days ago, we practically had to beg her if we wanted to hold Dusty! He definitely knows that Emily is his mom! He follows her around. I have never met a cat that will play when you prompt him and just be a lap cat when ever you want as well! So easy going! My other cat, Sparkle wasn't fond of him in the beginning with some hissing and batting of his paws with no claws. Dusty would just look at him like he was crazy! Now my cat just looks at him with an occasional hiss. Dusty has continued to try and snuggle up with him, they have laid within 6 inches of each other for a while until Sparkle decides enough and gets up and goes away. I think they will eventually be buds because Sparkle is curious when Dusty is sleeping with smelling and licking with progression each day. ~ Lisa M.
