Goin' to the Dogs ~

Yesterday was the 17th annual Medina Adoptathon and Ohio Pug Rescue was set up to promote pug adoption.  Several fosters looking for furever homes were in attendance including this pair.  I'm not sure how they ended up in rescue, but they are 9 year old siblings and a bonded pair.  They were adopted out but soon returned :(  How sad.  What a difference in the faces ~ one is so much more grey than the other.  Oh, how those grey faces melt my heart.

This is Lucy (nka Loretta) and Loocie.  It was hard to get a picture, but I wanted to show the difference in size.  Lucy was one of the biggest pugs I've ever seen at 35 pounds.  {{Loocie weighs just under 16#.}}  She was just "big boned" . . . lol! Can you believe she is 11?  Not nearly as grey as my Loocie at 8 1/2.  No, Loocie is not up for adoption.  She was there because she is just so cute ~ but I'm not prejudiced, not one little bit. Poor Lucy/Loretta.  She was an owner surrender. She had spent her entire life with her furever mom. Furever mom got a new boyfriend with a German Shepherd and the dogs did not get along, so Lucy/Loretta had to go.  I say get rid of the boyfriend!  That just breaks my heart.

This gentle giant was a 190 pound Newfoundland. Maggie was there with her owner.  She is a search and rescue dog and just as sweet as can be.  She went through two homes as a rescue before she was adopted by her present owner at 9 months old.  

I'm just trying to give you an idea how big she really is.

And here's Ellie this morning with daddy.  She didn't go to the event yesterday not because she's not a pug, but because she has little dog syndrome so bad she would have wanted to kill every dog there, even the 190# Newfie.

Thursday the Hidden Hills Hookers met at Deb's house.  A surprise 50th birthday party was being held for Katie of Kid'l de Divey Woolens.  The surprise was that Katie showed up early and was the first one there . . . lol.

Deb, Katie & Teri

Everyone brought a rug/project that Katie taught or helped her with for "This is your hooking life". A book will be made for her.  Here is partner in crime Melissa with a rug from a class taught by Katie.

Don't you just LOVE Katie's expressions?

I am happy to report that my closet is much more organized!  It's amazing how much additional space you have when there is some semblance of order.

I was hoping to finish Here a Chick this weekend, but I've run out of weekend :(

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)
