Ernie -Then and Now

 

Hi everybuddy,  It's me Ernie.  The lady who runs the rescue (PUP Dog Rescue in Issaquah) and who saved me from the high kill shelter in CA -sent mom these pics that showed what a sorry mess I was before I came to them.  I was furrrrry lucky because a lady came in to the shelter just before I was to be euthanized.  She like me and said she saw something special in me.  SOoo she took me to the groomers and I had my first SPA treatment. 

 Mom and Dad saw me on Petfinder with PUP and sent in an application.  The rest is history.  The PUP people came for a home visit with me to see how I got along with Sasha and the family.  Little did any one know that M & D's sons would be there with families,  grand bipeds,&  their Labs.  It just happened....FUN!!!  Everyone got along so well that the PUP lady Laura called it a non-event cuz we all were great together.  Then she said if M & D ever wanted another dog just call and they would bring one right over.  Well, about 3 years passed and M & D decided to try fostering for PUP.
So here we are about 3 years after that and M & D have brought in about 61 dogs to foster.  It has been interesting.  I heard Mom say we'd be lucky to get to 5 fosters.  Guess it gets in the blood. :-)
We are a house full of rescue pups (Sasha,me, Chica,Lucas,and GG's dog Rosie)  We always get excited and check the crates that come in the house to see what kind of friend they brought us this time.
PS Sam check out my early pics.... I look a LOT LIKE you  :-) How about that?

 Have a fun weekend... We're getting rain is seems. 

Almost pictureless/not quite wordless Wednesday

Mom Barb here.  We have been missing everyone.  My hard drive crashed and burned.     Can't seem to upload pictures -Maybe it is Blogging gremlins... or???  ( Upload Failed  - Server Returned an Invalid Response) Any ideas of what the problem is??  WOW!! I think I  just figured out what was wrong!! I was using the wrong "program".

This is a picture of our newest foster -  Peyton Manning no Not the football player.  This little guy is VERY sweet and smart.  He is a pug mix.  Everybody seems to love him so we may not have him long.  He is 5.5 yrs and  about 28 lbs.  Gonna miss him when he's adopted!  He is online now
as is Tillie our other foster.  She is also sweet and happy and a picture of her is in our previous post.

 

 

 This beautiful black and white cat was enjoying the sun and watching us as we all walked by.  Keeping his eye on the dogs...

I am frustrated, I tried to upload another picture of Tillie from the same set of pictures, and it came up with the same error message. What's with that? Well, we are making progress - at least we got 2 to upload... :-)

We will be visiting you all.  Be patient with us.
