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..

June 1, 2010


Chessie and Orlo here to welcome you to June! This is one busy place we are here to tell you, but the good part is that everywhere we look there is someone getting lots of cuddles and kisses and that includes us. You haven’t seen us yet because we arrived very afraid and are just now getting comfortable. Even having a picture frightens us, but Mom talked to us softly and we agreed to pose just this one time. Enjoy your time with us this month for we are surely enjoying life here.

This is one of the most boring pictures Mom has ever taken. Just we pupsters humble opinion. She wanted to show you rain coming down…geez, how stupid. Everyone sees rain on occasion, but she said this was a downpour! Well, she didn’t have to tell us that. We couldn’t even go out on the deck even though it is covered without getting drenched. The wind was something else…kind of frightened us. Anyway, just bare with Mom…she sometimes can be a bit, shall we say, off the wall? Hope she doesn’t read this!


June 3, 2010


We are so excited! Tiki and Tulip are on their way from Florida to Michigan. That means we will get to see them again. We surely do miss them! They had their Mom send a quick picture as they traveled 1200 miles towards us. Tiki said it was a great ride for she got to just relax and nap. Tulip said she was totally bored with just watching Tiki sleep. We’ll see you soon!


June 4, 2010


Mom, Brody here just wanted to assure you that I am helping Cookie get comfortable. I know she is really unsure of herself so I decided I would even share my bed with her and you know I don’t do that for very many pupsters. I’ll help her get through this I promise you. She will realize that life is good and I will be right by her side as she overcomes her fears. She will realize one day that all is well in her world and she will know nothing but lots of love and cuddles for the rest of her life.


June 5, 2010


We pupsters are here to tell you that Precious is one spoiled pupster! Sometimes it gets totally out of control. Look at her planting herself on the refrigerator and screaming for Mom to get the apples and carrots out. Mom always comes running and then goes through this routine of talking to Precious and asking her rather she would like apples or carrots or possibly something else. It is ridiculous! Of course the great part of all of this is that if Precious gets what Precious wants all of us share in the bounty too!


June 6, 2010


Today class, we will be covering pupster etiquette in great detail. Beings Dickens here has now received his PHD in Pupster Psychology, Mom has put me in charge of the classes. I would like all of you to make a list of the things that you do during the day that you feel may be a bit inappropriate. Don’t be afraid to share with me for you are covered under the law for pupster confidentialty. I haven’t had time to furnish my office with a comfy couch, but that is coming.


June 7, 2010


I didn’t do it, Trenton did it! No, I didn’t do it, Dolan did it! Wait a minute, I didn’t do it, Barney did it! Hey Mom, have we got you confused yet? You have to know that not one of us would ever do anything that we were asked not to do. Why are you looking at the three of us that way? See the halos over our heads and the wings sprouting from our shoulders? OK, so maybe we did get into a bit of trouble today, but we boys have to have something to keep us busy!


June 8, 2010


TEE HEE, HA HA, CHUCKLE, CHUCKLE! We pupsters are laughing so hard we are holding our tummies. We thought Mom was bad about pictures, but poor, poor Perry, Kelsey and their brother Charlie! Can you imagine having to sit still and wear those crazy glasses? As you can see Perry decided he was not going to conform to the pupstertography rules and refused to don the glasses…smart guy! Hey, you three, if you need us to come and rescue you we’ll be on the first plane out to Louisiana!


June 9, 2010


MOMMMMM! Benson isn’t sharing again. You know our favorite toys are purple and we don’t have very many in that color. We are really getting tired of him being so selfish. You keep telling us we are to share, but he isn’t listening. He grabs a hold and refuses to let go. We are going to talk to Dad tomorrow and when he makes his next run to the store we are going to ask him to pick up every toy he can find in purple. We aren’t fussy about shape or size just as long as the color is right. Let’s see what Mr. Benson does with that…he can only hold so many toys in his mouth at a time!


June 10, 2010


Hey Mom, Marilee doesn’t mean to be a tattle pupster, but did you know that Jenkins and Clarisse have been having an affair? And did you know that Quentin has been sneaking in pieces of poop? Also, Shilo has been standing lookout whenever the other pupster boys are getting into mischief. I think you may need my services. I have been doing a lot of research and would be happy to be your undercover pupster to keep you informed on the pupster happenings that you are missing. Of course we will have to negotiate a fee for this.


June 11, 2010


We had such a good time tonight. Auntie Mary and Unkie Brian came over to play cards. We fosters are a bit upset because Rufus took over the whole game tonight. He thinks he is so cool – says he has learned to deal the cards now and wouldn’t give us a chance to even try. We just do not think it is fair that Rufus had all of the fun tonight and we just got to watch. Of course we did get a bonus of a few pieces of nice warm popcorn and Rufus missed out because he was too involved in dealing cards – hah, hah!


June 12, 2010


Today our sweet Vance left us. He had been with us quite some time. We had applications for him, but the right one did not come along until a few weeks ago. His Mom and Grandma came to get him and he jumped into their arms and gave them lots of his special kisses. They fell instantly in love with him. He is heading home to meet his two brothers in Wisconsin and told us he would be sure to send pictures and emails. We can’t wait to hear how he settles in. We shall miss our little love bug!


June 13, 2010


Just a little advice from us guys Foley. Even though Mom walked away from the drawer for just a minute, we all know better than climbing in. Been there, done that and it resulted in a time out. Connor, Barry, Temple and Benson had best give you some pointers. It will certainly save you some grief and time outs in the future. First rule, all cupboards, closets and drawers are off limits. Never get into the waste paper basket…that is if it happens to be available and the list goes on. You know I think we pupsters need to prepare a list and give as a hand out.


June 14, 2010


OK, I will have to admit that I can really be a pain in the butt sometimes. Arpel here has a real issue of being separated from Mom or Dad. Gee, I cannot count the times during the day that Mom and Dad tell me to quit barking if I am separated from them by even a few feet. But give me a toy to cuddle and it helps my separation anxiety. Of course that is only if Mom and Dad are within my sight. I am just thankful that they both love me so much and continue to hold me close. Someday I will get past this, if not I know Mom and Dad will always be here for me.


June 15, 2010


Some things never change. We continue to compete in some areas and who can get their tongue out the furthest will always be a competition. Everyone can thank Willow for that. At least we do not have to compete with her anymore although she continues to send us pictures to prove that she is still the “Tongue Champion”. Noodles thought he would give it his best and feels he is number one in 2010 at this point.


June 16, 2010


WOW, beds, beds and more beds. Auntie Cathrine sent us a surprise package today and we loved it. Four great big boxes arrived with all colors, shapes and sizes of new beds for us. We had to try every one of the beds out before Mom got them organized and in place. Phew, we had a difficult time choosing. We couldn’t decide which color or shape we liked the best. Guess we’ll have to give each bed a test run to make up our minds.


June 17, 2010


Hey all you pupsters… can you tell who is who? Yep, it is Shasta (fka Vance) reporting in with my brother MeCola and Pepsi. I love my new name and it fits right in with my brothers. Mom tried the name Chance, but I wanted nothing to do with it, but when she tried Shasta out on me I ran right to her. You know me, always running the show! I just love, love, love it here. I am wearing Mom, Dad and Grandma out with my favorite game “You throw the ball, I’ll bring it back”. I know you were all worried about me, but as you can see all is fine! I will send more emails and pictures later….Love you all!


June 22, 2010


Hey everyone! Sorry we have missed a few days. Things have been a bit hectic here. We have been having lots of storms and we just are not into having pictures taken. Many of us are very frightened of the thunder and lightening so Mom and Dad have to direct all of their attention to calming and holding us. But, as you can see Champagne is smiling big for the weather has turned nice and we are back to normal!


June 23, 2010


Today was Vanni’s 16th birthday and Auntie Suzi who sponsors Vanni sent a special birthday cake just for her. So, as you can see we celebrated with gusto. Mom set the table all up nice and pretty while we stood by and drooled. Of course we know this is a milestone in Vanni's life...wow, 16 years old! So of course her party, her cake so she got to go first.



We all held our breaths for we thought she might eat the whole cake before it was even cut, but she turned to us and said "Have no fear...I am going to share". Phew what a relief!



And then the important part...cutting the cake as we waited in anticipation.



Dahlia got to go first cart and all, but we understood that she is special needs, but that did not make us drool any less.



Devas stuck his whole face in the frosting not leaving much for us...what a mess!



Elmo's technique was get as much as you can in your mouth at one time and make a run for it!



Gretel was so dainty and lady like it made us feel rather guilty with the thoughts we were having about devouring every crumb.



Hannah said it was the best cake she had ever eaten!



JD couldn't make up his mind if he liked the frosting the best...what was left of it after Devas' frosting escapade...or if he liked the filling the best.



And Sarah just said, I don't care what part of the cake it is...I'm for it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VANNI and thank you for sharing with all of us!


June 24, 2010


We pupsters are laughing so hard! Can you believe this? Our Brewster all cuddled into his own little bed tucked into his Dad’s arms. Who would have thought we would ever see Brewster doing something like this! Just make we pupsters hearts feel so good to know that our Brewster is so contented and happy. Wonder if we visit if he’ll share his Dad with us…we’d like to try this!


June 25, 2010


Today our sweet, sweet Classy left for her Forever Home. She is quite the character you know and packed full of endless energy. Her Mom had her first experience with Classy on leash. She took full advantage of every inch of the retractable leash running circles around her Mom. As they were leaving Classy was making herself right at home getting into everything she could find in the van. We know that she will keep her Mom and Dad on their toes! We miss you sweetie!


June 26, 2010


The weather today was a bit cooler so Mom and Sydney headed out to do a little gardening. With the rain and the heat the weeds had gotten a bit out of hand. As usual Mom didn’t have to get the hose out for Sydney the Watering Pupster was doing his thing. We pupsters will tell you one thing….our natural fertilizer sure makes our plants big and healthy! Maybe we could market Sydney…natural Pupster Fertilizer guaranteed to make your plants grow. Just look at the size of the plant behind Sydney…proof is in the Sydney’s watering technique!


June 27, 2010


Hey Dad, I think we have a size issue here with the Water Bottle Stands. Ramsey seems to have a bit of a problem with this. Now you can see he has solved the problem…he just lays down and sips away. The biggest issue is he spreads out in front of the stands and we can’t get to them. So Dad, would you please make a stand just for him and place somewhere else? Of course knowing Ramsey he would still choose to use ours for we think he takes great pleasure in blocking our access!


June 28, 2010


Hello everyone! Hey, remember me? Tommie is the name and gorgeoumous is my game. I was a stripped down model when I arrived, but look at me now! I had my nare surgery and reduction of the skin around my eyes and I am one handsome dude I am here to tell you. There is no conceit in this 12 year old little body, can you tell?


June 29, 2010


We pupsters are excited beyond belief. Our T Shirt Design Contest was a success. We couldn’t make up our minds on the two top winners so decided we would have two T Shirts for you to choose from. The T Shirts will arrive on the 5th of July and Mom will start shipping orders on the 6th. We think both are really cool and hope you do too. We look forward to your orders for this is another source of income to help with our vetting needs which are endless.


June 30, 2010


Well, here it is the end of the month already. How time flies when you are having a good time….we hear Mom say that all of the time. We have had a great month with lots of cuddles and kisses every single day. We have helped Mom with the gardening, the T Shirt Design Contest and some of her other projects. Then of course we are always there for Dad whenever he needs us to help him…you know like finishing his cereal or toast…things like that. Hugs and kisses coming your way….see you in July!
