Hi Mag - this is a picture of skinny Norman in Colorado (formerly from Michigan) with his new family. Doesn't he look happy? I thought everyone in the group might enjoy his happy face.

Hi Mag;

Here is a picture of Timone at the dog show this past weekend. Thanks again to whoever had the idea of him wearing his King hat, the crowd loved it!

Hi Mag,

A volunteer and I went to do a home check on this lady today. She is a single mother with a 3 year old two footer and has over 100 animals, including 61 llama's. She does Llama rescue and many of these animals have been hurt or abused. Check it out people! And you thought you had alot of pets!!

Here are two of the cuties we met today. Aren't you amazed that I didn't take a couple home? The only thing that held me back was knowing that Jim would KILL me!!

Mag,

Would you post these pictures of Pebbles on the site? She was adopted by Sam and Brenda here in Tucson about a month ago. Pebbles gets to go to work with Brenda everyday! Sam and Brenda have never had a small dog before, and Pebbles was in their bed the first night she went home with them. Brenda called me the next day because Sam woke her up "all night long!", throwing back the covers to make sure Pebbles hadn't suffocated. What a happy little girl Pebbles is now, and what a wonderful family.

Dear Mag,

Would you please post to the list the following pictures? Radar was an Arizona foster when Tanyah W. from Norfolk, Virginia, saw his picture on the website. It was love at first sight! For Tanyah, anyway. So, after much talk and email and work and expense (on Tanyah's part), Radar was flown all the way to Virginia! This couldn't have been done with Laurie, an IMPS volunteer located near Tanyah. Laurie, I'm sorry I don't have your last name, but this wonderful adoption couldn't have happened without you! The following pictures are Tanyah and Radar at the airport (Radar is the one with the big ears), Laurie and Radar at the airport, and Radar in his new home. He was adopted over a month ago, and Tanyah is still just thrilled to have him a part of her family.

Thanks, IMPS! - Sandy in Arizona

Hi Mag!

My name is Tina and I am a Colorado IMPS volunteer. I have 2 sweet rescued MinPins... Iggy is my little black and tan boy, and Berlin is my rust female.
I have some pictures the list told me to forward to you and see if you could post them. The first ones are of Iggy in his Geisha Halloween costume I made him, and the others are of a cute sleepy Berlin.
Thanks!!!

Hello Mag,

I just wanted to say I so enjoy checking out the website with all of the success stories. I wanted to share ours as well. In November 2003, I flew to Arizona to surprise my mom for her birthday... and was able to able 2 of the most wonderful min pins!!!

I happened across the IMPS website via my best Friend Peggy. I lost my heart and soul min pin in April 03. Even though I have a boxer and a 17 year old pin, I still was heart broken over my Lady. As I was browsing through the website, I thought "oh, Arizona, I could just hop on a plane... visit my family and adopt me a min pin!" and then there they were - Trixie and Bridget! The girls were in Tucson with Rick and Lisa J. and I was HOOKED. Needless to say they are mine and I am thrilled. My heart is still broken for Lady. She was my love... but now I have more love in my life and it makes things so much easier. Bailey, our boxer boy, understood right away who was boss and bowed down to the girls every snarl! It was pretty cute. And now, Trixie and Bailey are in love :)

Anyway, THANK YOU for putting this site together... and THANK YOU to IMPS... not only are they helping these beautiful fur babies find loving homes... they are bringing so much joy into so many peoples lives!

Take care,
Jennifer in Spokane, WA

Hi Mag!

I'm sending along some pictures of Rusty (our IMPS kid-red) and his partner-in-crime, Maria (non-IMPS-black and tan). Rusty came to us as a foster but ended up working his way into our hearts.. there was just no way we could let him go. He is just a joy and we love him dearly. The two pins have older (and bigger) siblings (Max-mastiff/lab mix), Dakota (husky) and Sissy (shephard mix).. all rescues, too.

The picture taken of Maria on the boat was on Lake McConaughy in NE last summer. We have yet to get Rusty in the water (his vest is in the motorhome, ready for wear!) and are looking forward to that big adventure. The picture with them and Daddy (Matt) is just another reason why we love our pinheads so much! :o)

Sincerely,
Melissa

Hi Mag!

This is Tina, IMPS volunteer from Denver CO, and I have some pictures I was hoping you could post on the site.

I've sent them as attachments. Iggy is the black and tan little boy and Berlin is my rust girl.
These are pictures of them posing in the sun. They are sun-worshippers and love sharing a sun spot together.

Thanks so much!!

Hi,

My name is Erin M. and we have three minpins. We got the first one as a puppy, but then caught on to the rescue thing and have two more from Beverly and Susan at IMPS since then. I thought I would post pictures in case their former foster mommies wanted to see them. They are spoiled rotten, doing well, and make us laugh all the time. :)

The first picture is our little girl, Carmella. We got her almost a year ago through Susan at IMPS in Colorado.

And here are our boys. The black and tan is Papi, we have had him since he was a puppy. The red cutie is Pumpkin, whom we have had for 2 years now, thanks to Beverly in Tennessee.

Hope you like the pics. Thanks for having this web site,
Erin

Hi Mag!

I came across these pictures of the Pins (Rusty-red/Maria-black and tan) and had to send them along. Maria will take any lap she can find, as proved in the first picture. The table in the second picture sits right over a heating vent and we call it their "Warming Hut". If you can't find a Pin, look in there (especially on a cold day!). The third pic is Rusty in chewie bone heaven.

Thanks For Letting Me Share!

Hi Mag!

I snapped a couple shots of Rusty waiting for his Daddy to come home from work. He has been with us for a year (an IMPS kid) and boy-howdy, does his world fall to pieces when Daddy leaves. He makes the saddest sighing noises.. it's a heartbreaker. I'm not even going to get into what we go through when Dad is away on business for a few days.. Rusty and Maria (Minpin Princess) are so upset. It takes forever to get them to settle down. If I was SMART I would just kennel them for the night (but I have to have my pins in bed or I can't sleep). LOL.

Rusty came to us as a very misunderstood, little skinny fella and has blossomed into a very handsome, wonderful addition to our family. We are so proud of him!

This is what happens when our two pins (Maria-B&T and Rusty-Red) spend the day playing with their four-legged cousins. :o)

Hi Mag!

Pictured are our Three Naughty R's.. Rusty (red), Maria (aka 'Ria.. small black and tan) and Rudy (our tall and handsome b&t foster). They were hanging out in the sunshine in our front room (and keeping a close eye on the 'hood, of course!). A moment of calm is always a Kodak moment around here.. LOL! :o)

Hi Mag!

I've got a great brag to pass along. I've attached a couple pictures of one of our dear fosters, Little Bear. He was placed in the wonderful home of Dawn Ann and Rob in Wellington, CO in June of 2006. They already had a sweet min pin (Leroy) and he and Little Bear have become best of buddies!

Don't let a little grey fool ya.. Bear ran circles around our two 4 year old min pins!!

Hi Mag,

We had family over and celebrated Matt's birthday last night. His favorite present was a remote control dump truck his sister gave him. He is convinced that EVERY 40-Something man needs one.. flashing lights and all. I don't know who has had more fun this morning.. him or the min pins.. LOL! Pictured are Maria and Rudy..
