Hi LoveHandlers!

I just wanted to let you know how Kirby is doing in our family.  As I type this, he is attached to me on a leash in my living room and he is sound asleep, following his after dinner walk.  We are still having a few issues with “marking” so I have him tethered to me whenever he goes into the living room, dining room, or computer room.  Our big kitchen has a tile floor, so he has free run of that area of the house and the downstairs bathroom which adjoins it.  Upstairs, he sleeps in his new dog crate at night and does not seem to want to be up there except when we are there with him.  He is such a well-behaved little dog and so happy to get attention and love.  We are hoping to resolve the marking problem with time and consistency.  It has been a few days since an accident, so maybe we are making progress.

We start each day with a walk, bright and early at 4:00 a.m.  I get up extra early, so I can have some good time with Kirby before leaving for work.  He spends a little time with me on my lap, wrapped in a towel because we have had a spell of rainy and cold weather.  At the beginning of the week, Kirby was a little slow and not showing a lot of emotion.  He probably missed his old home with you.  Now, however, he must be feeling more at home with us and we are starting to see his little personality and cute tricks emerge.  He brings us so much happiness when we see him spinning around or making his little excited barks when it is time to go outside.  He has so much understanding in his eyes.  I hope he will soon feel safe and secure with us, and know that we will not abandon him.  Everyone admires how handsome Kirby is and comments on how pretty his fur is.  My adult son, who lives on is own, will be visiting this weekend for Mother’s Day.  He is really looking forward to meeting our new little dog.

We thank you for saving the life of this precious little animal who has added so much to our family.  At church last Sunday, we prayed with thanks for you and your work with the dogs, and for the tremendous blessing we have received in Kirby.

Hi LoveHandlers!

It has been one year that Duffy came into our lives and found his Forever Home.  He weighed 18 lbs at the time and last week he weighed in at 24.5 lbs.  The vet says he’s in perfect health.

He has brought such joy to our lives this past year.  He is a friendly, loveable, adorable little guy. There isn’t a dog in the neighborhood that he hasn’t befriended, and children love petting him. Thank you so much for letting us bring him into our lives, and thank you for the wonderful work you do for our four-legged friends.

Hi LoveHandlers!

Faolin (Briscoe) is doing very well.  The parasites and respiratory infection that he had when he arrived here are gone.
He is now healthy and has put on several pounds.

He’s a sweet l little guy. He loves to play with the ball and Frisbee. And we’ve discovered that he also loves to herd the sheep up into the barn.

Hi LoveHandlers!

We cannot thank you enough for our newest edition to our family. Skotch (formerly Kingsley) is a keeping us very busy!! Skotch and his brother, Brewski love each other so much and have shared in so many new adventures together!  Skotch currently weighs 26 lbs and is growing by the minute. He is very playful and a very well behaved potty trained boy! He knows the basics such as sit, down, stay, no, and come. He’s a very quick learner and listens better than any other dog at the park! He loves his snacks too, he can find food anywhere! He recently started losing his baby teeth and is always holding a toy in his mouth.

We can’t thank you enough for this wonderful pup!

Hi LoveHandlers!

I just wanted to send you an update to let you know that Kasen and Santos are settling in well. They got off the transport in April and we were very happy to see us. Kasen was very timid and scared of new situations initially – like walking off property and going up and down stairs.  Now he’s walking nicely along the street with his tail up and wagging, as well as tearing up and down the stairs with his brother. He still gets nervous getting into the car, but we’re working on positive associations with that. Last week, we went for a nice walk in the woods and both dogs enjoyed the experience. Kasen is very much a sweetheart who likes to cuddle (as you well know).

Both Kasen and Santos love to chew on their rawhides. And they have great fun stealing each other’s rawhides – neither is very possessive unless they are actively chewing on it.

Santos is a big fan of playing ball. The first couple of days we had him, he’d want to play constantly for almost an hour but he’s a mellowed out a bit since then. He is an curious, intelligent dog who likes to push boundaries sometimes – either from boredom or too much excitement – but nothing that we can’t manage.

We started up obedience school with them this week and so I think it will help with training the whole family in better behaviors. They are both doing well with sitting on command (this week’s assignment).

I hope everything is going well at LoveHandlers. Thanks again for your help and willingness to let Kasen and Santos join our lives. It has only been a few weeks since we got them, but it almost feels like they’ve been here forever.

Hi LoveHandlers!

I wanted to thank everyone that is helping to do such a great job over there!!!! Thank you for sending Bentley to his Forever home.

From Bentley:  Hey everyone at LoveHandlers it’s me, Bentley.  I wanted to thank everyone for sending me to my FOREVER home.  I was a little scarred at first with all the driving around wasnt really sure where I was going or who I was going to see.  Then my new Mom and Dad picked me up and took me to meet 2 other dogs both westies. Then I was finally brought to my new home, it is great here.  I got a park to walk to everyday and see tons of people and other dogs, I have plenty of toys which I play with them all the time, I have the run of the house not to mention a Mom and Dad that love to cuddle as much as I do, and not to mention I have seen those 2 other westies a handful of times already and its only been a Week.  I love it here I’m so happy,  I have already been to the doctors go again soon for the rest of my shots(which by the way hurts but its okay cause I get a treat after) Thank you again for sending me to Parents that will take great care of me!!!

Hi LoveHandlers!

Just wanted to let you know that Hugo is doing great. He makes us laugh every day with his antics! He hears my car when I’m coming home and I can hear him barking with excitement at my arrival. He is so “wound up” when I step in the door that I have to have him run up and down the stairs with his “BOB”(a long tube like toy that looks like a dog and comes in several colors and styles-he has many!!! It comes from an 80s movie named Summer School…) to the basement several times just to burn off some of that excited energy and so I can put my stuff down in order to pet him. Needless to say that I love that dog!
