Miss P, Miss P...

Only a few more days with "Miss P"...our nickname for Little Miss Pandora. She will go in Monday for her last check up & Health Certification and then board the bus bound for Jacksonville this Friday afternoon.

We have really enjoyed her stay with us. She is a Great Little Dog with such a laid back personality. I know she will be just the Perfect Girl for a Family with Kids & other dogs.

Sending you off with lot's of love & best wishes, Miss P...We sure will miss you! Love & Kisses, Phil, Petie, Max & Foster Mom & Dad

Miss Pandora is "Out of the Box"...

I just got the news from the Shelter last night..."Miss P" will be leaving us on 9-26, bound for a Rescue in Jacksonville, Florida. From there, we will anxiously await news & pictures from her New Family! We are enjoying the last few weeks with Miss Cheezy Peasy...She's such a Funny & Happy little girl! I know she is going to be the delight of her new family...

A Day Trip to Henderson, NC

With all my dogs to tend to, you can imagine that vacations around here tend to be "Day Trips". One of my favorite places to visit is Henderson, NC. That area is full of neat little shops & Antique stores that line the country road that leads back to Asheville. My fave store to visit in Henderson...

This year I noticed something new! In front of many of the stores they had colorful Goats...all theme painted with brass plates telling their stories. I had seen these in other towns...Horses in Lexington, KY, Bears in Gatlinburg & Cherokee, NC...Here is the Mast General Store's Goat. He is called "The Goat of Many Colors" and is painted in a lovely patchwork design.

Another favorite Goat was in front of an Ice Cream Shop with a friend, who loved Ice Cream too!

Then there was this one that caught my eye...

I had to have my picture taken with this one...I'm such a sucker for a guy named "Phil"...LOL!

New Girl on the Hill... Meet Pandora

Before Nala even left us, the shelter was calling about another little brindle girl in need of a place to stay..."Pandora is her name...Will you take her?" I only foster one dog at a time, as I have 3 of my own. That is my limit. On Thursday I stopped by to get a peek at her...There she was, in an outdoor enclosure with another dog, rightfully named, "Crazy Millie" LOL! Pandora was sooo layed back & having been in with Crazy Millie for 3 weeks hadn't seemed to rub off on her, so...Yes, you know it...She came home with me.

She is just the friendliest little girl. She loves people & other dogs. Here she is with foster bro Phil.

Pandora gives Phil a big old Smooooooch!

Babysitting is a hard job...Phil needs a nap. Nite-Nite everyone!
