Loretta's Happy Ending

We have now had her for one year. She has been wonderful. Everyone likes Loretta, even folks who are not dog people give in to her. She loves everyone from people to other dogs, but especially likes kids.  Even the groomers like her. She lets them do anything to her and she never complains. 

The neighborhood kids come and ask if she can come out to play. She has been border trained and she will only leave the yard to greet neighbors.

We spent the summer in Virginia Beach and she loves talking walks on the beach and chasing the crabs. She doesn't like to get her feet wet, but will go into the water when chasing the crabs.

When we go for car rides, she sits and looks out the window. She loves to look at people in cars next to us and will respond to people when they talk to her. With her over bite, she looks like she is smiling and folks just love it!

Thank you so much for allowing us to have her be a part of our family!

Lucky's Happy Ending

Lucky (formerly Hayley) is now 10 1/2 years and doing great. We adopted her when she was only about 3 months old in June (2004). We found out through genetic testing that Lucky is a perfect 50/50 mix of Pomeranian and Cocker Spaniel. She always gets compliments on how cute she is, and every halloween kids spend a long time petting her. She loves children, especially babies.  You have to watch her because she will not stop licking a baby's face! Her favorite toys are sticks and soft squeaky toys. She is a very spoiled girl and loves attention and going for long walks. She loves to play in the snow and chase rabbits and squirrels. She is in good health aside from a heart condition which is being managed very well by medication. She shows almost no signs of her age and she keeps on loving life and we keep on loving her! She is a staple in the family and we can't imagine ever being without her.

In Memory of Louie

Louie - only 2 years old, came into CSAC with kidney disease.  He lived a full year in a foster home and passed with auto-immune issue that took his life quickly.   Louie was very special and was well loved.  Louie you will be missed, you are at peace now, running with your buddies in heaven.

Hamish's (Cody) Happy Ending

Duncan, we adopted in September 2011 when he was 3. He was brought to his Vet to be put down because he had taken to biting as a defense against rough handling. And though we still watch him with strangers, he is an affectionate, smart and happy dog. Hamish (he was Cody), we just adopted this September. We should have renamed him Bullet or Tornado because he is full of energy! He needs plenty of structure and some dedicated training, but he has a confident, loving personality. He loves to fly across the yard and jump over Duncan as if he is a hurdle. I think agility training may be in his future. He loves to cuddle and give kisses. Hamish and Duncan are learning to live together, play together and share their humans very well. I look forward to many year with them both.
