9:30pm

9:30pm every night for the last 3-4 weeks Tink decides she needs a drink. She can be in a deep sleep or just lounging around, but she sits up and just waits for us to put her on the floor. She gets a drink and then goes right back to sleeping. How the heck does she know the time? We were playing a game at the table tonight and she sat up from her sleep on the couch and just waited. And she will wait for a long time! I don't even need to check the clock any more, I know its 9:30. My crazy time telling girl!

Timothy & Cassie

So my brother made a valid point in one of our conversations recently: He said that I don't post about the dogs that I help find homes for with NEBTR so he doesn't know about them. So here they are.

Timothy is a young dog from a Lancaster puppy mill. He is about 11 pounds now. He was recently neutered and had his teeth cleaned and some rotten ones pulled. He's a nice little guy who gets along well with other dogs but would do fine alone as well as he likes to be top dog (but he will back down.) He loves his crate and goes in easily when asked. He tires easily but is generally a happy little boy who will cuddle on any piece of blanket or towel that he can get a hold of : ) He's learning how to play and is learning how to walk on a leash. He is not completely potty trained but is getting better every day! He's being fostered up in Rochester NY and is hoping for a forever family really soon!

I don't have a picture of Timothy but will post one when I get one.

The next few pictures are of sweet Cassie





Cassie is the other dog that I am currently helping by going through some applications and helping Tiffany out. She too is a Lancaster puppy mill dog and she is currently being fostered over in York PA. She is a sweet little girl who has some issues with men, but I believe with time could over come that with the right family. Her foster mom is looking for a woman or small family that has the time to give to this sweetie. Nick, Tink and I have had the privilege to meet her and spend time with her! She is a love and snuggled with Tink between Tiff and me on the couch. She is currently working on beating a bladder infection. As a result potty training is tough, but Tiffany reports that she is showing a LOT of improvement over the past few days. Cassie is scheduled to be spayed in late February.

So these are the dogs that I'm helping with right now. Several more mills dogs have come through in the past few days...there never seems to be an end. NEBTR helped 117 dogs last year. I hope fewer dogs need NEBTR this year. And now I am off to look at applications for these guys!

Tink's Vacation at Gram and Pap Rowe's

While Nick and I were in sunny Florida for Larry and Katie's wedding,
Tink was living it up with Gram and Pap in Maryland.

Tink slept in a heated water bed on comfy flannel sheets.
She also had a cookie before she went to bed and after she settled in upstairs!!

Tink traveled to Twyla's office each day (she couldn't stay at home of course!)

She worked hard all day...

...And helped spell check important emails

She also made sure the floor wasn't drafty

Yup, that sermon looks great Gram!

Of course she had the seat of honor at the board meeting!!


Tink went for lots of walks and was taken care of down to the tiniest details in her everyday life! Twyla and done did an excellent jo taking care of her and loving on her! Thank you so much for your love and attention to her!!!!

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY TINK!!!

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY TINKER!!!!

Can you believe it's been a whole 2 years since Tink came home with us?!?! CA-RAZY!!! What a great great 2 years it's been!!! She is doing FANTASTIC.

Last night she snuggled up as close as she could in the crook of my arm with her head on my shoulder and stayed there all night warm and comfy. Like she knew I needed her warm little body against me to help get rid of my head cold! She is my little snuggle bunny!

We have lots of pictures to catch up on--we will soon!

WE LOVE YOU TINKER !!!!
