Peke A Tzu Rescue
Foster Journal

We thought all of you out there would like to see what happens here in our home so we decided we would pop in on occasion and let you know what we are doing. Some days it is just the same old routine, but other times we have a lot of excitement. We hope you enjoy hearing about our activities and seeing a few pictures. The majority of the time you will see us happy, healthy and well groomed, but there is a significant cost involved to get each of us to this point which can be viewed at Foster Vetting Costs..

January 1, 2011


Well, it was a long wait until the New Year was finally here, but just a minute ago another year began. As Mom says…how time flies! All of us pupsters made our New Years resolutions and some special wishes for the New Year. One of our biggest wishes is that many of us will find our special homes this year. We wish all of you a happy, prosperous New Year!

Sydney here guarding my toy. Now, I may look like I can’t handle the toy thieves around here, but trust me I can! All I have to do is give out one of my low growls and they are off and running. I may not be able to see, but I can sniff out a toy intruder before they get within a few of me. It is not that I do not want to share, but sometimes the other pupsters just get out of control and need to be put in their place.


January 3, 2011


Hey all of you pupsters…Reese reporting in. Looks like I have it pretty rough doesn’t it? Today I have been gathering toys. I want to see how many I can get on my fleece blankie. Whew, it is quite the chore for there are so many. I just wanted all of you to know that I love my new home and am enjoying life to the fullest!


January 4, 2011


Fauna and Scamp here getting ready for our morning nap. We are on the go constantly and have to take a few winks here and there. We try to keep at least one eye open at all times though. You know Dad might drop a crumb on the floor when he is cooking or Mom may be offering treats and we just do not want to miss out on anything.


January 5, 2011


Alright Mom, you need to step in and do something here! Macy will not leave my ears alone and is making a mess out of them. She claims because my hair is so silky that her saliva is a wonderful conditioning agent. Mitch here keeps telling her I am a guy and could give a pupster’s care less about the “condition” of my hair. Thank goodness most of my body is hairless or I would be one slobbery mess. I am begging you Mom to have a talk with Macy. Quit snickering…I do not deserve this at all!


January 6, 2011


Uh, Haley, we have a little bit of advice for you. We think it would be a very bad move on your part should you choose to jump up there and even attempt to get at the food. You'd best put your tongue back in your mouth and really think this through. Mom was getting ready to feed us and had to make a quick dash to the bathroom. Little did she know that you would nudge the refrigerator door open because she didn't close it tightly. You'd best cover your tracks quickly because she will be back any minute!


January 7, 2011


Am I ever feeling great! I was a mess when Animal Control found me wandering the streets. Fleas were crawling all over me and when I got my first baths the shampoo ran red from all of my sores. Chili here is so thankful to be safe and loved. I have a heck of a time walking for my hind legs are so weak...I am no spring chicken you know. But our special ramp here is doing wonders for me. With good supplements and lots of exercise my overall health has improved unbelievably. Mom says I am the most handsome redhead she has ever smooched! Wonder how many redheaded affairs she has had...


January 8, 2011


Mom really likes cheese balls so she put them on the grocery list for Dad. Yep, Dad not only cooks he grocery shops too. Anyway, I guess he wanted to make sure she didn't run out for awhile. Tommie here has tried to get the top open with no luck. I figure there are so many here Mom shouldn't have any problem sharing with us pupsters. Now I know what she is going to tell us. Same old story...they aren't good for us. What I would like to know is why they are OK for her to eat, but not good for us!


January 9, 2011


Today was the big day for Hansel and Gretel. They have been waiting for their Mom to come and pick them up. Had to get through all of the Holidays first for they had a long, long way to go. They are moving to Canada! Dad went to the airport near us to pick their Mom up for she flew in and stayed a few days. As you can see they had no problem getting to know their Mom. Hansel made himself right at home while Gretel played a bit hard to get. By the end of the visit they both knew they had found their special Mom. She absolutely adored them the minute she set eyes on them.


January 10, 2011


Hi Everyone,
My name is Dory. I am a 10 week old puppy and I cannot see. I apologize for you not being able to see my beautiful eyes, but at this point I am working on adjusting to the lack of sight and hold my head down at all times. Mom and Dad are working with me and tell me that eventually I will hold my head high. Right now I frighten very easily and even hearing footsteps makes me very afraid. Mom carries me close to her so that I feel safe. Keep me in your prayers as I adjust to this darkness.


January 11, 2011


We pupsters have been having a contest. We place bets on who can catch the most snowflakes in their mouth. Wow, it is quite the chore! Of course this takes awhile and we kind of get a bit wet. Mom has lots of towels ready for us when we get through with our contest. Wish she would let us have a little hot chocolate, but she says that is a no no for pupsters. So we just have to settle for lots of cuddles to warm us up which we definitely do not object to!


January 12, 2011


Hey Mom would you mind if Estee and I take in a movie later today? And we think we are old enough not to have you along as a chaperone. Come on, give us a break. It is about time that you realize we are grown up and quit treating us like babies. Armani here is going to talk to Dad a bit about this. You know, he is a guy and understands more about the dating game. Just trust us Mom…there will be no hanky panky!


January 13, 2011


This would be Jake and Harper snuggling close with Aspen in the background. Yep, we know we are always giving lectures on getting along, sharing and loving each other. So, here is another one! We think everyone needs to be reminded about this frequently for life just gets so busy sometimes and our priorities are sometimes not what they should be. Make sure you give your special someone a huge hug and slurpy kiss today.


January 14, 2011


Logan, you stick your tongue in my ear one more time and I am telling Mom. You’d best be ready for a huge timeout because this is very inappropriate behavior. Kendy here knows you think you are really macho, but frankly you have absolutely no effect on me whatsoever. If you think this is romantic you are way off base. I think it is absolutely disgusting so please direct your amorous behavior to one of the other pupster girls..


January 15, 2011


Hi all of you pupsters. Hansel and Gretel here. Don’t mind if we snooze off and on. Wow, we had quite the trip home. I know we are bit late updating you, but hey, we have been busy. It was really neat flying on an airplane and we were quite the hit with everyone. We have been busy since our arrival meeting so many loving people. Please tell Mom and Dad not to worry about us and make sure they see this picture so they know we are contented and loved beyond measure.


January 16, 2011


Hey Goalie checking in. My Mom is Jamie. You remember Jamie don’t you? She is the one that abandoned Grandma and Grandpa and moved to California. Anyway, football playoffs are starting and as you can see I am a big Chicago fan. I have my snacks waiting and am set to watch Chicago win, win, win!! I am not a betting pupster, but I will put all of my treats on Chicago going to the Super Bowl!


January 17, 2011


Apollo reporting in. I haven’t visited with you in awhile. You know I didn’t have a very good life and when Mom and Dad got the call they did not hesitate at all to welcome me into their fold. I get anything my little poodle heart desires which includes lots and lots of lap time and cuddles. A special thanks to all of you once again for being here for we seniors and special needs. Who would know what could have happened to us without all of your help. Life is good…..


January 18, 2011


Well, if it has to snow we pupsters might just as well make the most of it. Dickens and Temple have created a new snow sport “Pupster Snow Surfing”. They take off as fast as they can, get to top speed and then flatten to the ground and slide as far as they can go. Hey, this may be a sport we could place some bets on. Mom wouldn’t even think about something like this in regards to gambling. Guess we’ll have to ask Dickens and Temple if they are willing to give us pupsters some quick courses so we can participate.


January 19, 2011


Mom, you need to do something about Coconut. He will not leave me alone. Always grabbing at my tail and whiskers, trying to lick my ears and the list goes on. I keep telling him he needs to go find a Pekey friend and leave this Scottie girl alone, but he ignores everything I tell him. I have tried everything to get away from his amorous advances, but nothing has worked so far. Helpppppp!!


January 20, 2011


Benson here filing a pustergation complaint. Now Mom, haven’t you told all of us that we are all equal? It makes no difference what breed, color, or sex we are all to share, love one another and discuss our differences in a pupster adult manner. Well, as you can see Logan, Marco, Santo and Kendy have not been listening to you. They think that different colors belong together. You know we blondes would like to intermingle with the brunettes on occasion. So I think you need to pull the brunettes aside and have a little heart to heart talk with them!


January 21, 2011


Mom, isn’t there something you can possibly do? Sarah here crawls into the bed and then all of a sudden there is one, then two then three more pupsters that crowd in. Geez, a girl can’t get any rest! They all say that they love to be close to me and need to cuddle up and stay warm. I don’t think that is what it is. I think they just want to give me something to complain about!


January 31, 2011


Well, as you can see we have missed a few days, but things have been very, very busy. You know it is the end of the year so we pupsters have been helping Mom get all of the paperwork together. So many figures, so many forms and so much work is involved. It just doesn’t leave much time for anything else so we hope you will forgive us for we know how everyone looks forward to visiting us each day. We will see you next month!
