Mag, could you please put this letter and pics up on the web site...this is one of our rescues from Florida. He WAS very timid and skittish but looks like he's found the perfect family and he knows he's home~!!

Lonnie

Dear Lonnie,

I am writing to thank you once again for Kennedy. He has been a great addition to our family. In the last 48 hours Kennedy has become a whole new dog. He is less timid with Robert and he is attached to me wherever I go. He sleeps underneath the covers with us at night or on top of our heads, whatever suits his fancy at the time. He is eating well, and alot of his redness and bumps are going away. He loves to go out on our porch and in the yard and just lay in the grass. He seems be potty trained and has not had an accident in the house.

He is having a ball with Miles. The two are constantly playing with one another. Although he does'nt quite know what to do with toys yet, he watches us throw a toy for his brother and happily chases after him. He also turned our house into a racetrack, I guess he is practicing sprinting for the doggie olympics. He and Nina are not on the best of terms as of yet, but they are working on their differences and will soon become good friends. We are teaching him sit and stay. He is learning "sit" extremely fast.

We have included some pictures. We hope you enjoy them. Please let me know if you dont get them. Until next time

Juli & Robert

Here are pics of Rudy3 now renamed Rocky by his new parents. He has a great home and looks forward to traveling. All 5 pins were on the bed and Rudy is the one laying near the pillow with stick out ears. Such a life... Robin

Here is a pic of my latest foster YoYo to post to the web page. She is the one with the scar down her back but from this angle you can't see it. Isn't she a cutie?

Frank and Barbara adopted Corky from Cindy in Florida....

Just thought we would update you with some pictures of Corky. He is so sweet and loveing, by the way he sleeps all night under the covers. We will find out shortly how he is with babies, we are expecting in March. He is so cute because he lays in Barbara's lap and sniffs on her tummy and cuddles with her. He spends most of the time in my lap when I am home. We now have a pet door for all the little critters and he is very happy and spoiled!

Thanks,
Frank & Barabara

Mag,

This is a group shot of Cherie, Cindy, Lonnie, Katie and myself. We met and had dinner and did lots of talking about IMPS. (Were all your ears burning?????) It was great to meet everyone and put faces with all the names.

Mag,

Here is a pic of my first rescue. I've been looking for one for our home (that's how I got started with IMPS), so I want to adopt her.

Here is a picture of the soon to be world famous "BoomBoom Taylor".... OK, maybe not world famous, but a whole bunch of people know her story. It's very difficult, 'pert near impossible' to get a picture of her when she is awake. I happened to have my camera with me as I was returning from work and she was just standing there waiting for her turn NOT to get petted, so I was able to click one off. I happen to think that she is a perfect looking little girl... notice I did not say that she was perfect in her behavior or anything else. Whoddathunk that she would still be with us (since September 2000)?

These are pics of Pixie and my gang. Pixie was a rescue from Manatee County AC who had a collasped trach. She stayed with us for a month or two before going to a diff. foster home. She passed away from pneumonia a couple of months later. She was a real sweetheart despite her horrible life pumping out puppies. We miss her alot.

Hi Mag,

Could you please put this pic under the Florida Rescues. This is Jack (renamed Dobie) with his new sister.

Thanks, Lonnie

Lonnie and Tammy,

Just wanted to let you know that all is well..... He is very smart and Jennifer is a big help in teaching him.... Although he is also teaching her a few things (not so good)...
She tries hard to veer him away from trouble..... it is pretty cute!
Here is a photo of the 2 of them..... I will send a better one ... if I can get them to sit for another...LOL
Take care Rose

Hi Mag,

I am attaching a few pic of Rusty and Rambo. Rusty is a very sweet big boy!! He rides in the car very well, is crate trained and seems to be housebroken so far. He is playful for a short period but mainly is a low key kinda guy. He would be a great companion for someone who takes trips in the car or is a truck driver. Rusty was turned in to a shelter when his owner went into a nursing home and could not care for him, along with his pal Rambo, who is a min pin mix. He looks like a wirey haired min pin. He is the same size as Rusty and looks alot like Benji. Rambo is also very sweet and well behaved, likes car rides is housebroken and low key. Rambo is currently being treated for heartworms. These boys will make a wonderful companion for their new home!!! You can see more of Rusty at the IMPS website at http://www.minpinrescue.org.

Rambo is not an IMPS dog but can be privately adopted from me at GRYHND30@aol.com

Thanks
Katie

Hi Mag,

I recieved this today from one of our Canadian volunteers that spent part of the winter here in Florida and was a tremendous help to us. I thought this email and the attached pic was really interesting and thought that you might enjoy it also.

Lonnie

Hi - How is everything with all of you? - I came across a painting (in a book) from Henri Toulouse-Lautrec he did in 1891 titled "Lady with a dog" The dog resembles a Min-Pin, that's 110 years ago. Maybe the MinPins then had white hair on the chest.
The painting is in the National Gallery of Art, in Washington, DC. It is a gift from the W. Averell Harriman Foundation. I thought you might want to see such an old pix of a possible MinPin. BBFN - Gaston

Hi Mag here is a picture of Timmy who was just adopted by the ellisons in Dunedin. He is chillin' on their couch!!! What a wonderful family he has!!!
Katie

I have to talk to my husband, but I am pretty certain we will love to meet Cali and maybe adopt her, if the two "old folks" don't have any objections (Tina and Timmy, I mean. They are both very chilled out and enjoy each other's company!)

I did hug Tina and Timmy for you, he still seems to wait for you to come back, it seems. He looks out the front window and gets excited by every car that comes by or pulls up.

Timmy definitely took a liking to Tina's dog bed in my husbands office. He stayed under the desk for hours today, snuggled up in the dog bed by his feet. He's there right now as I am typing this...

Enclosed is another picture, I'll keep them coming, if you don't mind.

Thanks again, maybe we'll see you soon - with Cali? Jeffrey is not home right now, I will ask him as soon as I can!

Bye, Claudia

Mag this is from Gigi's new family!!!
Katie

Hey,

We got / rescued a new dog. She is a min pin like Lexus. This dog is unbelievable, Lexus and her get along great. This should delay kids for two years.

Our thanks to Katie at Min Pin Rescue - we will take great care of GiGi.

All our love,
Jeff, Penelope, Lexus, GiGi

Hi Mag these are pictures & a note from The Goldberg's who adopted our precious foster Gigi. Thought these would be nice for the site!!!
Katie

Hello Katie! Thought you would enjoy some picture of us at Paws on Parade w/ some of my new friends (Yellow Labs - Abbey & Sandy). We had a good time; a little chilly & Lexus spent most of her time in Jeff's sweater. Gigi on the other hand wanted to say hello to everyone! She got a ton of stuff - bandanas, balls, treats, chews..... it was great! Only saw 2 other Min-Pins!

Gigi was sizing up the agility course; I know she would be great at it, she is fast and so alert, unfortunately they were only letting the pro's run the course... what do they know?

Hope all is going well, enjoy the pics.

Penelope, Jeff, Lexus & Gigi

PS. the picture w/ the chicken was kind of a joke.... Gigi was trying to attack him:)

My foster boy, Knight, went to his new home Sunday. Here he is with his new boy, Matt, and his new doggie brother, Charger! Knight's on the right. Matt met Knight at an IMPS booth a week ago, and fell in love with him. He and his dad were looking for a min pin for Matt's mom, who had been missing Charger ever since their divorce. Charger does visit sometimes, so he was there to greet Knight on his first day, and they got along just fine. The other picture is of Knight in the arms of his new mom, Patty. She is so happy to have a dog of her own again, and I know Knight will get lots of love and attention from the whole family.

The last picture is of Knight and his Foster Dad, Mark -- Knight is the biggest lover boy I've ever met, and loved to snuggle with Mark, as you can see!

Mag,

Here's a few pictures of Brandi. Brandi (her name was Lady but we changed it) came from IMPS of Florida. Tammy and Jeff were her foster parents.

Here are just 2 poses of Brandi with Santa. These were taken at the Humane Society: one with her Christmas shirt and one without (naked - lol).

Thank you,
