This is why we rescue...

Tiny Tim 

 4/15/09 He's doing great! He seems to really be enjoying himself here. He loves attempting to play with our other cat Cleo, but she still hasn’t completely warmed up to him yet. She is getting better though. The other day we let our rabbit out to see how he would react to her and at first he was scared and hissed and tried to hit her, but now they play together. He'll sneak up on her and then run full out at her and then screech to a stop right in front of her. It’s pretty funny. He also really likes running through the living room (where we first met him) and then sliding on the rug that’s in front of the sliding doors to the deck. He then starts attacking the rug and only stops when he is sure he's killed it haha. Yesterday we bought him two new toys to play with. He's definitely a spoiled little guy now! We have to leave all the doors to the rooms open at night now so he can jump from bed to bed to find the best sleeping spot for that particular night. He has a favorite chair, it’s the one I used to sit in, and he’s always in it now so now I get to sit on the floor haha. Hmm what else? He has this new thing of always trying to eat Cleo's cat food. Every time he hears us pour food into her bowl he comes running over to try and eat some, even though his bowl is full. So we now have to hide her food bowl up high on a bookshelf so he can’t reach it. The bookshelf seems to be working though; he can’t seem to sniff it out now. Oh, he also loves attacking feet. At night I'll sit in one of the chairs and put my feet up on the foot rest and about 3 seconds later he'll either be jumping on my feet attcking them or be under the foot rest attacking my legs from underneath! Now I have little claw marks all over my feet and legs. He's definitely living the life here, playing and sleeping all day long!

Clyde

Clyde came to care after he was found tied out front of an appartment complex, with no owner! He is now happily in a good home, with a very loving family!

  
The Story of Brandy now named Miss Mojetta




"Miss Mojetta" is doing great! She just had her 6 month check up and
all is perfect. When she first came home the other dogs were not
too thrilled. But Jetta has taken a few nips, rolled over and wiggled,
she has even gone as far as to clean their teeth for them. It all paid
off, they now love her and respect her.

She is so smart. At 10 weeks old she was almost all the way potty
trained. By 10 1/2 weeks she was sitting and down on command.
Everyone was amazed. She is my baby and daddy's biggest fan.
He's just so great to her because he plays rough!

Since day one we have introduced her to water. Last week we
finally put a doggie life vest on her and took her back to a lake.
Our old German Shorthair took the lead and she, without hesitation,
followed right in. A swimmer she is!! The life vest was a great idea.
I would advise anyone teaching their pup to swim to get one. By
the way, Jetta adores our old guy "Gordon". It will be hard on all of us
soon. We have decided we need to put him down. Jetta will miss him
most I think, to her he is a lot of fun.

Thanks again for picking us! The 10 hour round trip was worth every lick!!!!!

Fondly,
Michel Richards and Family


The Story of Cooper now named Franklin

Pictures Coming Soon!

Here are Kia/Tasha's before and after pictures. You can see how much she

has grown and how beautiful she looks now that she has a loving and caring

home. Here is a little note from her new family concerning how she is now:

Teesha(Murphy) is a huge teddy bear. She is doing so well and loves

EVERYONE she weighs 55 lbs and has thick fur and big feet. Her tongue

never stops looking for a human to kiss and when no people in reach a

kitty gets it. She has a neat way of barking and one bark always means

daddy is home or teenager home. So little Andre' age 3 and Dmitri age 5

will run and say dads home! As I was typing she just went over to Andre'

and kissed his arm. She is so sweet. 80% sweet and 20% nice. She just

wags her tail if someone new comes over and kisses them. SO she is the

love angel in doggy form.

She is still training and though slower on learning hand commands she is

getting them. She makes up for slow learning with all that love! She loves

to play outdoors with boys and loves to go in woods with daddy and them

on Saturdays to build on a fort. She loves her toys and brings them to

everyone until one gives in to play . Daddy says he has always wanted a

dog like this his entire life that will play so much. She tackles him with love

when he gets home. He always says bye to her when he leaves for work

along with kids.

She will be getting registered as a service dog soon. But needs to learn one

more command. STAY but her happiness gets so overwhelming she sneaks

forward. She puts Dmitri to bed and stays until he is sleeping. She also knows

when he needs her the most and will go put both paws on him and look up at

him with her wonderful cute face. he calms downs and has to love on her. We

call this command PAw Paw and she knows to go hold him but she has done

it now a few times without being told too, we also can tell her the command and

she will do it to the person she is talking with.

Teesha gets bathed in special shampoo every Friday and she can hold 5 gal

of water after she is toweled off! RUN! everyone hides and blankets go on the

couches as that is her perferred way to dry off, rub all over the couch. I call her

my Bear and tease that you gave us a bear cub and not a dog. Dmitri said she

is not a bear because she has a long tail and barks!
