Real stories, shared with love

Hi Jake - I want to let you know that Pickles was spayed on March 27th and she is doing great! I have a couple of gripes about Pickles...you didn't warn me that she is a thief and hoarder...lol! We find socks, shoes, and numerous (I mean numerous) dog toys in her bed that she collects throughout the day. She's a funny little girl, she will sneak what she can into her bed and each evening I go see what she's collected for that day. She's a very good girl though and never chews up any of her treasures...she just guards them from other potential thieves. Also, little Miss Pickles is an avid television watcher!!! However...she is very, very selective in her viewing!!! She does not like shows with children, babies, animals of any kind (read or cartoon), violence or active motion. When viewing any of the above she rushes the TV barking loudly and jumping at the screen...there is no stopping her! Therefore, my TV watching is now limited to shows about cooking and home decorating...which thankfully I enjoy! Pickles is the sweetest and most loving dog we have ever had as part of our family!!! I must get at least 100 licks a day and she gets at least 100 kisses a day from me and a lot of I love yous!!! Thank you again Jake for choosing us to be Pickles forever home!

Hello Jake, I hope you are doing well. Stitch is doing great! He is such a ham and loves to lay on his belly while chewing his toys. He got his boosters and I wanted to reach out and ask at what point can he socialize with other dogs? It’s so hard to socialize him with everything closed so I have had people visit the house to play with him so he gets used to people. Big hugs to both of you! We are loving our new family member.

As you can see, we finally picked a name. I just wanted to let you know what a sweetheart she is. Of course, she didn’t like the crate and cried when we went to bed. But last night slept all the way through the night. And even went in it today to take a nap on her own. She is learning to accept the grandsons wanting to hold her all the time. And our granddaughters FaceTime her. Thank you so much for letting us have her.
