Update on Lexie and Thomas!

Both of these beautiful dogs were were adopted by the same wonderful family in Vermont. Thomas (the handsome black Lab mix) was adopted in March 2008 and was a feral dog who came from a sanctuary with 93 other dogs. He took a very long time and a lot of love and patience but now is a well-adjusted happy boy living with lots of other dogs on a great big piece of land in northern Vermont! He is a marvelous foster brother and he welcomed Lexie (the beautiful golden-colored girl) as a little sister in March of 2009!

Here's what they have to say:

"This year, she (Lexie) has discovered sleeping under the covers. When she gets cold, she will paw at you in bed and when you lift the covers, she zips in. She's a good cuddler when she wants to be.

You wouldn't believe how he (Thomas) turned out. He loves me to death and he treats Steve almost like he does me. He really likes to be around us, especially in the kitchen. He is really playful and loves other dogs. I can 'make' him crawl up on the couch with me, but last night was the very first time he actually came over (twice) and crawled up there without anything from me. He almost always sleeps with me, though!

Thanks, Steven and Deb, for all of your love and patience. Lexie and Thomas are very lucky indeed!

Cooper (a.k.a. "Lucky")

Cooper was adopted by Mickey in the fall of 2008, is doing great! Here is his update:

Cooper is just a sweetie, and has quite the personality. The tennis court is a great area for him to get his exercise. Brant can't keep up with him. He thinks he's a bird dog...literally tries to jump up into the bushes after them!

He is afraid of his own shadow, but is still a sweetie!

He sure looks like a sweetie! Thanks for giving him such a wonderful place to call home.

A FUN update - Breaking "News" Story on Memphis and the Gang!

After a year of evading arrest, Officer Maximum Mcguilicuty has captured two fugitives tonight. Sampson and Memphis T (with the ball in his mouth), both of Raymond NH, have been suspected in a number of highly sophisticated cookie robberies in Raymond as well as surrounding towns. Officer Max broke the case late Friday night after following a trail of crumbs back to the duo's downtown headquarters. Arrested at the scene was also the cool cat trio, consisting of Zachary, Madison and Andy. They are currently being held on charges of receiving stolen property, as well as aiding and abetting known felons. Sampson and Memphis T are expected to plead guilty to the charges in the hopes of a reduced sentence. Officer Max is expecting a promotion after breaking such a huge case.

Happy Halloween,
Jen, Kevin and the rest of the gang!

Updates on TWO more very Lucky Pups!

We recently received a very nice update from Sally and Peter, who adopted Angel in January 2009. Then, their daughter adopted Lexi in February 2010. Angel is the brown and white dog and Lexi is the black and white dog playing with her.

Here is what Peter had to say about Angel and Lexi:

"Sorry to have taken so long to report in on Angel, but I've been trying to get a decent picture of her playing with Lexi. They hit it off just great. This is the best I could do. Lexi outweighs Angel by about ten pounds, but Angel is faster. Angel shows no effects of the heartworm problem of last winter. Can't thank you enough for the help. Angel wants to send a little donation to help some other dogs that have to go through what she did. Through that whole time she was awfully good.

The little ragmop on the chaise is Ricky. He's a two year old Shih Tzu that my other son adopted from the Animal Refuge League in Westbrook. He holds his own quite well with the other two. It was really a riot all summer watching Angel, after running around and heating up, just stop and walk down the pool steps, swim in about a six or seven foot circle and come out and start running again. Lexi and Ricky aren't quite into the pool thing like Angel is. If someone takes them in, they don't panic though. They just swim to the steps and get out. Now that school is open, Lexi doesn't get here as much as she did during the summer. They have a great time together though.

Lexi is doing very well also. Both of them just love everybody they meet. Angel has been an angel since day one. She gets a little talkative when she wants someone to play with her, but that's to be expected. Of course she spends her nights on our bed -- usually under the covers. She usually goes out about 7:00, and then heads in to bed. Most of the time she's the last one out of bed in the morning too. Spoiled rotten, but worth it.

Thanks again for a great dog.

Sally and Peter

Thanks for the update on these two (and lucky Ricky too!)

And yet ANOTHER update on one of Kaleigh's pups!

This is handsome "Tipu". Here is what his wonderful adopters had to say:

"We have Tipu (aka Kevin). He is growing into a wonderful boy. He has completed obedience training and will be starting advanced class this Fall. He is very shy, so he goes to dog daycare two days a week for a few hours for the socialization. He doesn't stay still very much either. Tipu is always on the go and his favorite activity is playing with his new baby sister Gracie. He loves to play with her and he is so gentle and loving. He is a very sensitive dog. We love him so much and so glad that Mom has a great home. I have attached a picture of Tipu."

Thank you for sharing Tipu's life and sharing this update with us!
