Thanking, Thinking, Thoughtful Thursday

Look what my furiend J.R. The Mail Kharrier brought to the door!
He asked Mom why I get the most mail!
She said I must live right!
Here I am chekhking out my GABE winnings from DORY (and Bilbo)!
I got some tasty yummy biskhuits made from the Samantha Khookie recipe
Mom kept trying to get my pikh waiting fur one but evfurrytime I sat I just khouldn't wait fur the flashie beastie to take the freakin' pikh!
So please akhcept these pikhs as proof of how tasty they are
It was khwite the pawesome khollekhtion of pressies - even Mom and The Doggy Nanny got something!
The best part was the khard that showed some green papers were donated fur pups in need!
THANK WOO FURRY FURRY MUCH
******
Speaking of pups in need, once upon a time this fella was
The furst pikh Mom evFUR saw of Laska
And this is how Laska spent much of the trip from Winchester VA to Harrisburg PA (Mom split an extra leg with someone that day so she went further South than Martinsburg WV/Hagerstown MD)
Mom still rekhalls how shellshokhked he seemed until he found himself in the windows of The Earthlink/AMP Building in Harrisburg - she will nevFUR evFUR furget THAT moment when he regained his pride - she tells me as I paw this fur her, she khan see it NOW

Here is a pikh from this past Winter that Sam shared of Her Boys (Nalu, Laska, Kodah)
Hard to believe that's the same Laska!
******
As more proof of what LOVE and KHARE khan do fur us, here are parts of two messages Sam from The Last Resort Rescue sent to those involved with BUDDY'S transport - woo all remember Buddy and HIS TAIL


As for Buddy, I actually changed his name to Gio to signify a new life with me and leave behind his previous owners. And he is the most amazing, and loving dog I've ever seen. He has learned sit, stay, paw, kisses, lay down I couldn't believe his loyalty to me. He whines if I leave his side, love him to death. I brushed all of his loose hair, brushed his teeth, got him on his new diet feeding him innova evo chicken and Turkey. Only the best for my pup
What do you think about Gio? Honestly it's unbelievable that someone could want to give up a dog like him. He has been nothing but thebiggest enjoyment to be able to come home to. He literally will look at me before he reacts to anything so he can see what way he should act. Gio walks along side of me and never leaves my side. I can't even explain how amazing he is in words. There's no other dog that comparesand everyone absolutely loves him after they meet him. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH for making this possible
These are pikhs Gio's GReat dad shared with us!
BTW, Vince and Prince are listed as having to be adopted TOGETHER - that is so khool! They have also rekhognised their pawtential fur possible Therapy Dog akhtivities!
******
Here is more proof of what LOVE and KHARE khan do


I took this pic today of a looks to be full blood male..he has a choke collar on and is a bit scared but alet and took a treat from me ....not at all agressive acting


Mom got that pikh with the info about him from one of her email lists

I know most of you remember this dog that we were all so desperate to get out of the Robeson, NC shelter, he looked absolutely beaten down and defeated, and he was out of time at this heartstick shelter. My heart, as I am sure yours did also, just broke for him. ..............................Well, time flies when you are having fun :)...........please take a look at the before and after pics of this boy.........what a change a group of wonderful rescuers and a lot of TLC (not to mention vetting and good food) will do for ones heart, spirit and body.............Meet Van ladies :)

Thank you all, we love each and every one of you for the tremendous hearts you have and the wonderful jobs you do in rescue!!!

Jules and the NBSR Team



Van so looks like an entirely difFURent pup thanks to New Beginnings Shepherd Rescue

We khan all make a difFURence in so many ways!

Hugz&Khysses,

Khyra

What great pressies you got Khyra! Those treats looked really, really good!

We enjoyed seeing all those transformations and reading the pupdates. They made mom leaky but in a happy way.

Amy / Layla the Malamute said...

WOW Khyra!! That's a TON of presents, it looks better than Christmas!

I tried reading about the GABE contest but couldn't understand the directions. I think I'm too sleepy to understand it, but that means it's a great accomplishment! Congratulations!!

There was a big dog show 2 weeks ago in Harrisburg that we didn't get to go too. Layla said that if we're able to go next year, you'll have to tell her good places to take walks for her to flaunt her floof.

Enjoy all your presents!
