Lucky...TN

Charlie aka Lucky, is doing well. He is getting along well with his new pack. He is a special need dachshund because he has a seizure disorder. He is well controlled on medication. He is still working on potty training. He is a funny little guy with a big personality. This is a photo of Charlie learning the finer points of sunning with his new siblings. From left to right: Waldo (adopted 2001 form Houston DR). Winnie in back and middle (adopted AADR 2008). Ernie, the black n tan (adopted AADR 2010). Far right Charlie aka Lucky, adopted AADR 2013.

SUSIE...TN

Susie has completely recovered from her surgery and has become an absolutely spoiled rotten doxie in no time at all. She has become a happy playful mischievous toy stealer. Her sister Molly, who was also adopted 5 years earlier, takes turns stealing each other's toys. Even if it just to sit on, so the other one can't have it. Susie's table manners are getting much better, but we still need to work on eating at a slow pace. Her coat was much improved in a matter of weeks, and her ribs are no longer showing. We are very blessed to have these sweet little girls as part of our family.

Arlette...MI

Ginger (Arlette) We looked through her paperwork once we got her home and discovered that for 5 years of her life she was called Ginger and since she didn't answer to Arlette, we just started calling her Ginger. She is doing very well. The first couple weeks she was very quiet and wouldn't do anything outside, so we set up an old baby crib and put it right next to our bed. During the day she was out with our 5 other little dogs but at night she slept in the crib in bed along with a puppy pad, food and water. That's when she would go potty and poop. Today, however, was an exciting day at our house. Not only has she been getting up and running to the door when we said "let's go potty" but today when she went outside, she actually went potty. She seemed very proud of herself. Anyway, she's eating goodd and Emma our little Yorkie keeps bringing her toys to play with. A sign that she was calming down was when we saw her pull one of the toys Emma brought her closer to where she was laying. She watches us with curiosity and now knows the word "treat." Our foster home had told us that she couldn't do steps because her legs were so short but she doesn't have any problem going up and down the 3 steps off our back deck and into the fenced in yard. She's still not fond of leashes but we're waiting until spring when we can go for walks. She came from southern Tennessee to us in northern Michigan so the weather is quite different. Anyway, I've attached a photo of her and we just love her to death. In the picture you can see Morley, the Monkey, one of Emma's favorite toys that she left for Ginger in her bed.
