4/29/08 Devin Hi CPR folks! Well, it has been just about two months since I came to my new home. As you can see from the photo, order has now been established (notice the kid on the dog bed and me on the chair)! That kid is great. We play and I have even convinced him to let me sleep on the end of his bed! Life is good. That housebreaking thing was a bit confusing, but I figured it out after a couple of days. The other dog, Percy, is fun and is teaching me all the tricks. We play and ruff-house around. I really like my new home! Say hi to my old mate Happy!

Lots of luv, Devin

3/10/08 Bella It’s been rainy, so either way she still ends up frizzy. She does not want to participate in that daily brush thing. She is getting better. Groomer says she fine, she just smiles and runs from us if we get out the brush. She goes again to be groomed Monday, getting pretty for Easter. We are all going to Christiansburg, VA, then when we get back my sister will be here from out of town. Will take pictures Monday, be sure to send them.

For right now she is still training us, we seem to be working out okay. She hogs the bed, hogs the couch, runs to Grannies for treats. New thing is she runs to Grannies, looks out her front door, runs back here, looks out our front door, apparently she is discovering she is not the only animal on this block. Here are some new pictures anyway, my favorite is her waking me up! I don’t think you can really see her hair though, she is tough to photograph. Lori Ann Zito

2/27/08 Dolly I have been meaning to thank you for all of your help back in October when we adopted our precious little DOLLY.Remember, we came down to the Poodle farm, we were planning to get an 8-week-old puppy, and Dolly, who was 8 months old, drove up just after we arrived , to be dropped off for adoption. I recently found the account of Dolly's relay trip from Mississippi to Tenn. to Asheville, then to Dreamweaver Farm. The organization and ocumentation are really impressive. Also, if you remember, the night before we came down, I had told my husband Thad I had thought of the name for the "puppy" - and it was Dolly. When we asked what her name was when we met her it happened to be Dolly! Dlly has been a wonderful addition to our family, and has actually made our other two older dogs (one is Tula, who is 11) much more active. It has been so interesting watching the dynamics among them. They all LOVE each other. She has even brought back Lewis' youth to him. He is at least 12 years old, and was diagnosed with terminal cancer Oct. of 2006. He was given a few days to a few weeks to live. He now has NO tumor OR cancer cells, and seems 5 years younger! I guess I've ended up telling the story now!

Thanks again for everything, Nancy Alexander

12/24/07 McGee Hi guys! Thought you'd like to see McGee and Maggie at Christmas. McGeehas the green antlers and blue collar; Maggie has the red antlers and red collar. McGee is our Carolina Poodle Rescue wonder dog.

What can I say about McGee? His Mother must have been a blonde. He is our wonderful GOOFY guy. He is sooo sweet, and puts up with Maggie who must be boss in all things. They chase each other around the back yard every day. They LOVE snow. I spend a lot of time trying to get snow off of poo feet and legs and ears and faces and backs . . . and you get the idea.

McGee knows how to entertain himself. We have a walk-out basement so our back yard has a slope down to the walk out. McGee has taught himself to take his ball to the top of the slope and drop the ball and then he can chase it down the slope. He also will take his ball to the top of the steps on the deck
and drop it so he can chase it down the stairs.

Adopting McGee from Carolina Poodle Rescue was the best thing we've done in years.

Merry Christmas from the Jankes in Cable OH

8/30/07 Snoopy We've had Snoopy for a few weeks now and already astounded by what a great little addition to the family he is! Everyone who meets him comments how perfect he is. In our search for a dog we decided early on to be picky and only settle for our "perfect dog", I even prayed for him! When I saw his picture on petfinder.com I knew he was the one. Snoopy is truly the answer to our prayers and worth the wait. He loves to do all the same activities that we do. He begs to ride in the car with us and when he rides (as you can see in the picture) he wants to see everything that is going on at all times. He is the official copilot. We cannot say thank you enough to Carolina Poodle Rescue and everyone who was involved in our adoption process- ESPECIALLY the Jance family who was his foster family for eight months before we got him. Beth and her family gave Snoopy all the good manners that were important to us. I know that we could have never found this dog if it weren't for them and I thank God for their gift to us every time Snoopy makes me smile. I tell all my friends who are in the market for a dog about CPR and if anyone who is considering adopting through them is reading this- do it! CPR takes such good care of not only their dogs but their adopters as well.
Thank you for our baby,
