Amalia with Fiona (Lori Darlin')

Hi Blue Dog! We hope you are well--you sure do have some sweet looking pups in foster care right now! I was going through some photos recently and thought I'd pass along this photo of Fiona (formerly Lori Darlin') and her best human friend, Amalia. We were so, so fortunate to have Fiona with us--she crossed the rainbow bridge far too soon but the time she spent with us was awesome. Nowhere could you find a sweeter, gentler, more loving pup. Fifi loved to snuggle with the human puppies in our family and she put up with their grabby little hands beautifully. Our toddlers often would bury their faces in her soft fur and she would contentedly thump her tail on the floor in response. Thank you for rescuing her, and letting our family love her.
Best,
Nora, Sean, Amalia, Cole and Sheila-dog
 

 
Thanks to Nolli (who adopted Tweedy, now Milo) for orchestrating a reunion of Miss Wags (now Adelaide) and her babies!  Some have short stubby legs, some have long lanky legs, but all who came for the reunion enjoyed catching up and sharing dog stories and similarities!  Many thanks to the group, which collected donations of food, toys, beds, treats, and cash for Blue Dog!

Mischa then
Tex now
I just wanted to say thank you very much for everything do. My fiancé and I adopted Mischa (now Tex) and are living in Seattle. Tex has grown and he is as active as ever. We live about a block from the beach and he loves his morning and afternoon walks down near the water. There are many other dog owners who walk their dogs around this area, so we have met many great dog owners, and Tex has made many friends. It becomes very apparent when we talk with other people, what a great organization Blue Dog Rescue is. I have heard from many people who have adopted their dogs from organizations who are not made up of such great people like Blue Dog.

I wanted to let everyone at Blue Dog know that the addition of Tex has truly been a blessing in our house. Your organization is truly remarkable, and the people that we met there are simply amazing. Thank you for all that you do.

I hope you are gearing up for a fun holiday season. I thought you might want to see a photo of Thelma! She became a big sister in June. Thelma is very sweet with Caraline. She checks on her when she is napping and at night, the mattress is just high enough that she can lay her nose between the bars and watch for a minute or so...and then she comes back into the living room for some more R and R! Caraline is turning into a floor dweller now and BOTH the girls really enjoy drive by kisses. Anytime Caraline is fussy Thelma stands by her and kisses whatever she can....Thel prefers to kiss her face and hands, I of course am trying to teach Thel and Lola that babies feet are for the best kisses. Both the girls have done great with the baby....but Thelma is definitely more motherly than Lola. Caraline loves watching them play and has recently started reaching for them.  Hope all is well with you and all your doggy charges. Have a great holiday.

Ling Ling now

To the wonderful people of Blue Dog Rescue,

Just wanted to send you an update on Ling-Ling, who used to be called Dottie, when we adopted her just over 1 year ago. My husband Hong and I are very happy to see her grow up from just a teenie weenie 7 week old pup! I've attached some photos so you can see the comparison. She normally doesn't wear clothes; we thought we'd play with her for a bit.

Ling-Ling has continued to be a happy, friendly puppy. She attended the Lee Mannix basic puppy class from Jan-March 2005. I've continued her training with basic commands and tricks. Some of her tricks/commands include: Sit, Stay, Lay Down, Come, Roll Over, Paw, High Five, Crawl, Circles, Play Dead. Her new one (as of last night) is "Bow". Ling-Ling performs tricks before her meals, and she rings the bell when she needs to go outside. She loves to learn and learns very fast, despite the fact that I often don't know what I'm doing.

Ling-Ling loves the water, and is content to either splash in shallow water or swim out a short distance (like at Red Bud). She loves to chase after a ball, and she usually returns it. She also loves to play with both other dogs and people. We are currently working on teaching her how to catch a frisbee, and I am planning to take her to beginning agility classes starting in February.

Thank you all for all the hard work you do! We love our Blue Dog and hope to get another one in the future!

Kramer now (in his awesome personalized UT jersey)

I would like to say thanks you for allowing us to complete our family by adopting Kramer. He became part of the family instantly. When I say family I mean my husbands extended family and mine also. He was welcomed into the family with baby shower. My mother told everyone she finally had a grandchild and we needed to celebrate. Yes, my mother has a picture of him in her wallet and when everyone shows their grandchildren she proudly shows her granddog! My mother-in-law schedules doggy play dates with friends and loves to take him swimming at the nearby park. They both love their granddog a lot! He is the center of attention everywhere we go and loves it. I am so happy we decided to adopt him. I love when we come home and he smiles and dances. Yes, a dog can smile.  He brightens my day every time I come home to him. We are proud parents of a 12 pound bundle of joy!! Thank you so much for blessing us with him.
