Here puppies "testing" out the puppyghans I was sent in a recent Crochet A Thon Contest.
 

 
 
When counting some of the blankets from the Jan CAT, Maxi-Pup feels like he needs to test out the puppyghans himself!!

 
 
Now, Giselle wants in on the action!

 
 
Ahhhhh, I like this one Mom...think I'll lay down and take a nap....

 
 
Hey, Papa, I just crawled in here and got covered up good...Don't Bug me, Man!

 
 
If I get all the way under these, maybe they won't be able to see me & I can rest...

 
 
Giselle curled up in one puppyghan, on top of the entire stack of 25 already donated! Wow!

Here are the two sisters that the McLemore's adopted....aren't they precious?

L.

Here at the pictures at last. Jesse is the broader of the two and Sam in the taller. They have captured our hearts and are running the household.

Thanks again for helping us to get these darlings.

Dear Lynn;

I don't know if you know her or not- but through this site- about a 2 years ago - Jenny S. assisted me with an adoption. I was supposed to have a trial weekend with a dog she had named "Beethoven" (since he would not respond to her voice at all - Jenny had thought he was deaf) - he was a special needs dog because of some type of strange lump in his spine and a somewhat warped front leg - 10 years old - she said that she had had him for quite awhile and was not having any luck finding him a home. Well - I felt an instant bond with this dog, the trial became an adoption - and I sent her a couple of e-mails at first to say how things had been going. It was a little rough at first - no one was sure what kind of place this dog had come from - so I did not expect him to be perfect, and I was prepared to be patient with him. But as it turns out he is great. Shortly after he came- he began to respond to my voice - he would not "obey" per say - but he was listening. Now he sits for his dinner - comes when he is called (most of the time!) and is my constant companion. I just wanted to tell someone how much he means to me - I re-named him Burnsie - he seems to like it better than Beethoven. I lost my Keeshond on December 25 - and I do not know what I would have done without Burnsie around to keep me company and share my grief -- I think he liked her a lot too.

Anyway - just wanted to say thanks to this service even if Jenny is no longer a part of things. Thanks for all your efforts.

Sincerely;
Jeffrey

Hi Mag:

Can you please post these on the website, maybe even under success stories? This is Nikki who was pulled from a puppymill and adopted by Pat F. She was so scared when Pat first got her that Nikki ran away and had to be chased down to come back to Pat. Now, as you can see, Nikki has on a harness, but she doesn't want to leave Pat for anything. They came over for a visit a couple weeks ago and I had the pleasure of meeting them both for the first time. Look how beautiful she is! What a lovely girl.........

Hi Mag:

I was able to snap these from a video reel that I had of Giselle at 12 weeks old. I probably had only had her for a couple of days. It was February and it was cold out. She was SO small that the only thing that we could successfully cover her with was a sock. We cut off one end of a sock and slipped it over her head. Here is the first shot of her in "high fashion" of 1995. Everytime I look at these pictures I laugh out loud... she was THE cutest and sweetest, even then. Still is.........

Here are the puppy pictures of my heart & soul: Giselle

Hi,

We're new foster/adoptees with IMPS & wanted to make sure we were on your email list.

This is a picture of our current foster 'Addidas', we are going to adopt her when and if she recovers, she was rescued from a home where she wasn't treated very well so she has intestinal parasites and heartworms. She is being treated at Crestview and we love her so much. Please pray for her recovery with us.

Here you will see Addidas in her cradle, I bought it for her yesterday & she loves it, went and took a nap in it on her own today, she knows it's hers.

Well, we just wanted to join the mailing list ask for your prayers and if there is anyone out there that needs a helping hand let us know we are in Atlanta, Georgia.

We remain very truly yours,

Lynn & Christy

Here Are some pictures of Poika and MAC, poika is the MINPIN that We adopted from the Minpin rescue. he is so wonderful. I think that between the two males they are trying to find out who runs the house. But I am sure they will figure it out sooner or later. Poika has adjusted to us very well, it's like we have had him his whole life he is great. Well here are the pictures thank you for posting them. Oh Yeah , You can tell them apart by the Poika's collar It is red , white and blue.

Hi Mag:

Here are the adoption pics of Melissa, her boyfriend and Tinkerbelle. This is the day they adopted Tinkerbelle. Melissa wrote this recently: "By the way she is doing great!! We love her soo much." You can see from the pics that Tinkerbelle was loved from the first moment. :)

As you can see.. Jax is quite the blanket rat. When he is not running at warp 9.5 or jumping higher than most mortals, he is sleeping. And not just sleeping... he is sleeping proper style: wither it be under blankets, people, furniture, whatever... The boy likes to sleep.

One of the more hilarious episodes of MinPin behavior came when we left Jax alone for about 30 min to pack my truck for a camping trip. When we came back not only was the floor covered in toilet paper, but also, the furniture and everything else. OOOPS!!

Jenny from Atlanta (where Jax came from) says that Jax was a "sweet little boy"... We will have to disagree with that statement. Jax is sweet when he wants to be. The rest of the time he is DR. EVIL. Boy does this kid like to chew.

When we got Jax he was quite skinny. Close to 6lbs. He gained a little weight when we lived in our apartment but when we moved into our new house the boy looks as if he has been lifting weights. I would venture to guess that he weighs in the neighborhood of 12-15lbs. Nothing but pure muscle!

Although Jax thinks he is top-dog alpha male, we have a mixed breed dog named Kaylie that seems to be able to keep der Jaxon fuehrer in check. She will let the little boy know when to settle down. Do not fret: she also knows when to lick eyeballs and ears to keep the boy groomed.

I hope to bring pictures for years to come.

Love,
Ray, Andrea, Chandler, Kaylie, and Jax

Lynn - Here you go:

Here are some pictures of Peyton (formerly known as Pepe) with big brother, Brady (black and tan, male pin, 2 years old) in his new home. My husband and I adopted Peyton from IMPS Georgia on Memorial Day this year.

Peyton (black and rust, male pin 1½ years old) is very shy with new people, but once he warms up he gives kisses and cuddles non-stop. He's got a mischevious streak in him - I've caught him in the garbage for a "midnight snack" and up on the coffee table grazing on cheese and crackers - what a goof!

Peyton (front) and Brady (back) make a great squirrel hunting team. They also like to chase each other in the backyard.

Here's a picture of Peyton (left) and Brady (right) in the backyard. Brady is a total ham, who loves to pose for the camera…can you tell?

Here’s a pic of my boys - Brady (left) and Peyton (right). Peyton does not like to get his photo taken (look at those ears!).

Peyton in the backyard. When Peyton is happy/relaxed, one ear stands up and one juts out to the side. I think he's showing off his fancy new collar ; )

Hope all is well with you. Please keep in touch!

Best,
Mary

Mag,

This is Mr. Man #5139 and his foster mommy Anita.

The other photograph is Anita S., volunteer in Waycross, Georgia and Melanie H., volunteer in Valdosta and various pups. It was taken recently when we met to trade off some babies.

Thanks so much, Debra in Georgia

We adopted a Min Pin just three weeks ago, who was fostered by Linda R. in Thomaston. He was then named Hop-Along-Cassidy. We wanted to provide an update if you have space on the Web site.

Cassidy, now named Guinness, is living with a married couple in Decatur (Atlanta), Georgia. He had his leg cast removed soon after his adoption and is doing well. He has to be reminded not to jump too much, but he is really getting back up to speed. While he lives in an apartment, he goes outside many times each day and loves to run around the grassy areas and tennis court. He is really settling in and now calls the apartment his home.
