Wow...it's been a long time


I should introduce the newest member of our family. Toby is now 14 years and almost 8 months old. He was 12 years old when he came into rescuein October 2006. What a mess the poor guy was. He had a tick born illness and a very very bad yeast infection on his body. He was smelly and goopy. When he came here we put him on special dog food and he was all kinds of medicine and special shampoos. It took us a while but Toby is doing so much better. In March of 2007 we realized that no one was going to adopt him. He is such a wonderful and sweet older boy. So he gladly became ours.








I'm still doing rescuing and fostering. Sadly Smoke had to find a new home....he was very bossy with Princess and picked fights with her and Sassy would join in and Smoke backed out. Sassy is very obsessive and would continue the fight. Poor Princess was badly injured. But Smoke has a wonderful home with a vet and he goes to work with her everyday.
He is very very spoiled. But I get my Scottie fix by fostering one every now and then. Just recently it was a very sweet and energetic 8 week old puppy. We named her Luci Lu. We had her about a month and she is now residing in Wisconsin and very spoiled in her new home.

We foster a westie that was named AJ...what a character he was. DJay loved to play with him. AJ could out run DJay and then some. We finally found him a wonderful home in Minnesota. They renamed him Quinn and he is having the time of his life



The end of June we went to a Meet and Greet. You see we belong to Dogster and a group called Westies Unite. A bunch of us got together in Wentzville, MO. We had so much fun meeting each other. We had about about 17 westies, one bulldog, one Scottie pup, and one lab mix pup.
What a great bunch of pups!!!!! and of course the owners, too!!!!!!!!!
Well. I think that catches me up. Other than my Mom passed away on October 13th, 2007. It was a very big loss for me and even the westies miss her. Toby liked going visiting to the nursing home to see her and her friends.
Well, we're getting ready to welcome another little westie into foster. We'll post pictures of her when we get them.
Take care and remember....Life is too short.....enjoy what you have now.
