This beautiful baby is an approximately 12 month old, 5 lb. Shih Tzu. She was found along an interstate and brought to a shelter. The shelter contacted us and asked for our help or she would be euthanised. This is a happy, darling baby, full of life and joy, however she has no use of her 2 back legs. In order for her to get around she hops and drags herself. We do not know the cause, or if anything can be done to help her regain use of her legs. It seems as if it is a deformity as she can't bend or move her legs and they stick out to the side. The courage, strength and loving disposition of this precious baby even after all she has been through is something we can all learn from. Please check back often as we chronicle Hope's story and progress as we embark on this journey together. We have high hopes for the possibility that she will have better mobility, even possibly regain the use of her legs and have a much greater quality of life.
Hope is being fostered by our wonderful foster, Joyce Shumake, who has vast experience with special needs babies who have physical limitations.
UPDATE SEPT. 3
Hope had her first visit yesterday with specialist Dr. Denney at Pender Veterinary Center in Fairfax, VA. Dr. Denney's diagnosis is 'quadricep contracture' in both legs. There are surgical procedures available to correct this situation. First, however, she must have physical therapy and it will be our first line of defense. Whether the problem is congenital or acquired, it is, 'hope'fully, correctible. Her initial x rays revealed Hope's situation gives us hope. Hope's CBC was all normal, she tested negative for lyme and heat worm.
Hope weighs a whopping 5.15 pounds! Her heart and lungs are good. As we all know, she is bright,
attentive and alert. Hope will have a rear end wheel chair ordered to help
her get around.
UPDATE SEPT. 3
Hope will go back to Pender Veterinary Center tomorrow. Dr. Denney and an assistant(it takes three to measure a disabled dog for the specialized carts) will be staying after hours tomorrow night to get the dog on wheels measuring chart to the maker of her wheelchair. Dr. Denney is very serious that Hope needs to be in a cart ASAP to preclude her further harming herself. Joyce will be holding Hope the majority of the time to ensure this doesn't happen. As soon as the cart issue is resolved, Hope will be taken to the Springfield Vet Referral Center where a therapist will develop Hope's protocol.
In the meantime, Hope will remain on water therapy, massage therapy, torch therapy (acupuncture with light),
and supplements.
UPDATE SEPT. 5
Hope has been measured for her wheel chair and it is being custom made. The wonderful people at Dogon Wheels are putting a rush on it so our precious Hope can get it as soon as possible.
UPDATE SEPT. 9
Hope has her first appointment with Morgan Francis
at the Veterinary Referral Center in Springfield, Va. on Thursday at 11 a.m. Morgan is a graduate
of University of Tennessee's Vet College Therapy Program. She previously practiced
on humans.
Dr. Kosian at South Paws Vet Center, (one of the top acupuncturists for pups in the area) said he had never used acupuncture for bilateral quadriceps
contracture but it might directly or indirectly affect the nerves in a compensatory way.
Great progress: Hope curls her toes around Joyce's fingers, her ankles have become
flexible. There appears to be flexibility in the knee joint of the right leg. In the isometrics(placing both rear feet and legs, supporting her under the belly) that Joyce has been doing while Hope eats, a remarkable thing occurred this morning. She was only supported on
the left foot and leg (no mid section at all) and once Joyce got her right foot and leg placed she held it in
place throughout the entire meal on her own.
Hope continues to get Dr. McLaren's photonic energy light following the recommended acupuncture points.
She gets home massages by a professional at least once a week.
She get muscle massage several times a day by Joyce.
She gets isometric exercise several times a day.
She gets high quality, home cooked dog food supplemented with minerals, vitamins and fish oil.
She remains restricted and resting to help the healing and give her strength for the days ahead.
The road is long on this journey to see Hope walk, but to see such great progress already is indeed encouraging. Hope will have her "wheels" soon and we will post pictures and an update.
SEPT. 10 ~ HOPE GETS A PACKAGE!
HOPE GETS WHEELS!
As you can see, Hope is off and running (so to speak)! She has finally received her "cart" and she took absolutely no training on how to use it nor did she have a transition period. This very smart baby was immediately up and on the move for the first time in her entire life. She is now playing with her toys and romping with her Shih Tzu friends. She was once in a shelter, within minutes of euthanisation, and with no "hope". Now look at Hope.........this is a day for everyone to smile about!
HOPE'S FIRST DAY OF THERAPY WITH MORGAN!
Hope has had her first day of therapy with Morgan. She did so well and is always so happy and willing. Full of love and smiles, our little Hope is forever thankful and joyful. She was such a good little girl during her first day of therapy that our little angel got to go on a shopping spree!
UPDATE SEPT. 18
Hope had her 2nd full hour of therapy by Morgan Francis at the
Regional Vet Referral Center. She was measured for custom
booties to wear on her two back feet in the wheel chair, as due to her condition her feet turn under and drag. She got regular tread mill therapy as well as water tread mill therapy.(pic below).
Hi Everyone,
Yesterday I saw my physical therapist for the third week in a row and she was very proud of
the progress I have made. My muscles in my legs are developing and I am able to bend
my joints. I did the water treadmill and Ms. Morgan did the stretching and bending exercises
on my legs. I really enjoyed today because my Uncle Rhett Butler went with me to therapy.
After one hour of therapy, Mom let us go shopping at Felix and Oscar where they give us
custom made treats called 'Little Bits' (get it...Little Bits for Little Doggies!). Thank you
everyone for all you do for us fluffsters and for voting! Did you see where Ms. Morgan voted for our rescue group to try to help us win some money? I see Dr. Denney next week and I really like him. He is very nice and gentle and he is very smart and knows lots about us fluffsters. Bye for now, I'm off on a day trip with my best bud Rhett Butler. Puppy kisses, Hope
Hi Friends,
It is Oct. 1 and great Uncle Rhett Butler and I are off to Pender Veterinary Clinic today
to see our fav vet, Dr. Pat Denney. My Mom told me I have to get that
thing called a rabies certificate today. I wonder what that means. I asked
Uncle Rhett and he shivered! Well, I'm just going to face this the same
way I do everything else...'don't worry, be happy!
Well, I got my rabies shot and I was really brave and did not cry or anything. I'm glad I have this piece of paper 'cause you
have to have it for the groomers and I want to stay pretty.
Dr. Denney examined me really good and did quad stretches on my legs.
He told my Mom that she will have to continue doing those several times
a day in hopes we won't have to do surgeries. I also am to continue getting my one hour massages (heaven!) and my jetted salts baths with
Mom, and the walk exercises.
I also had x-rays again because Dr. Denney said I had wiggled on the first set of x-rays. But things were really clear this time. Dr. Denney really doesn't think the spine has anything to do with my inability to use my
legs.
Uncle Rhett just had a pawdicure and ear cleaning. He made such a racket (Men!) that Dr. Denney had to relieve the techs and cut his nails. I think he is just a little spoiled.
After I was finished and got my certificate and a little red tag for my harness, I met one of Pender's pharmacists, Ms. Brenda.
She was so
nice and we played and played then had lots of puppy kisses.
She has
known all of Mom's babies and she has babies at home too!(they look like hot dogs).
Wow! I learned something new. I had to manuever in a big box to come
down stairs to go to the car. Mom called it an elevator. It was scary
getting over the metal entrance with my little feet but now that I know 'bout
elevators, it's all good! We're in a hurry to get to the car to get back home to
see Chip, Missy and Bleu!
Well, we couldn't go right home. Uncle Rhett pooped and Mom tied us to
the Pender Mascot to go get a bag to clean up his mess...Men!!!
Until later........Puppy kisses, Hope
Hi Friends,
Today is Oct. 9, 2008 and it was my jacuzzi aqua therapy day. You can see that I am being a very brave little girl. I need to get all the benefits of the jets on my legs and spine. Mom says professional athletes do this all the time. Take a look at me on 'all fours'. When the water got higher I began
to walk! I know the picture isn't the greatest but look down under the water and you'll see me using my back legs!
Now that I'm all done with my therapy, I'm famished! Mom makes our food fresh so we really eat good. She follows all the correct nutritional principles for feeding us fluffsters! Did you know that fish is really good for us fluffsters?? Lots of "meats" cause and/or can aggravate allergies. But fish and it's oil is so good for us and we eat lots of it!
Wow! I couldn't wait to have dinner! Mom also used Missing Link and fish oil as supplements, but we get others too.
This is enough for us five fluffsters for two meals. From the size of
Chip, Rhett and Bleu, Mom must have been feeding them the entire dish before I came (hehehe). Mom has them on a diet. I hope I don't have to
go on a 'diet'. Now I'm off to eat! YUM!
Joyce said I was a little pistol today......I wonder if that means I have to be registered with the NRA?
With love and puppy kisses, Hope
Hi again my friends, it's me, Hope!,
It is already the end of the month and I've been a busy fluffster! There is always so much to do, like visiting my favorite store after my therapy every week. I zoom, zoom, zoom around in my "wheels" and I go so fast it is hard to get a picture that isn't blurry, imagine that, hehehe!
Look at the gourmet doggy goodies in the window, hmmmmmmmm, which decadent doggy treat will I choose today?
Well I'm just back from my fluffster photo shoot for pampered princesses. Thought I'd share my new photo with you as I sign off for now. I must go get my beauty sleep and recharge my batteries, for there is lots of fluffster fun waiting for me! Bye for now everyone, I pawmise I will share more of my adventures soon!
Puppy kisses and tzu hugs, Hope
Hi everyone, Hope checking in! It is already November, can you believe it? My how time flies, kind of like me in my wheels! It was grooming day recently and I got lots of loving from my friends at PetsMart. We have a mobile groomer that visits but generally us gals go to PetsMart and the boys get groomed when the mobile groomer comes over. Not sure why, you'd have to ask mom that question, wonder if she's got a good answer? hehehe. Anyway here I sit(excuse my appawance), waiting on that "blonde" to get groomed! Why is she getting all of the attention? What do you mean, blondes have more fun??!!
Well, finally! Look at me now, all prettied up and getting all the attention a pampered princess like me deserves! I heard Missy was getting arrested for pawlifting!! teeheehee!!!
Anyway, after grooming and a bit of shopping, or pawlifting(hehehe), we meet the guys back home for a feast. Look, yummy, yummy, Aunt Jane's got our lunch ready!! Did you know we get better food than mom, or so she lets us know every day!
Time to get my wheels and go, I see Missy on the move coming this way. Wonder why???
Puppy kisses and tzu hugs from (always an angel), Hope
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to obedience class me and Missy go................Oh hi there! Hope again, checking in. It's November 22 and I'm off on another adventure. Just when I thought PetsMart was only for fun and getting treats I get this sprung on me, something about "training"??? For moi, Miss Terror on wheels???
Pawfessor of training at PetsMart, Mr. Doug is trying to teach me how to mind my manners and obey when I'm spoken to, what a concept!
He sure has some yummy treats. I guess pawfect behavior is rewarded. Gee, I thought anything was rewarded, hehe.
I'm kind of getting tired of this training stuff and I'm stuck with my back, or front in this case, against the wall so I better just cooperate!
Now that I've got my homework assignment from Pawfessor Doug, it is time to go home and start practicing my newly learned behaviors. Yeah right, the only thing I'm doing when I get home is figuring out how to burn more rubber on mom's tile floor with my wheels!
Until later, Tzu hugs and puppy kisses from angel (see my halo......hey where did it go??!!) Hope
Hi Everyone!
Hope here, back from a trip to TN to visit everyone. Me, mom and all my buds traveled from VA back to TN to visit and to pick up a new baby my mom adopted, Bonzai-MuShu. We had a great time visiting and we brought lots of toys, clothes, food, bows and supplements to all the rescues being fostered in east TN. See me guarding the "treasure"? We took lots of pics and video of our trip but they accidently got deleted and this was the only one saved. We are so sad that we can't share them with everyone but at least the one pic saved is of me, heehee! Anyway, I'm tired from my long trip but I wanted to "check in" with everyone. Please remember my friends at our rescue at this time of year like my mom did. I just know they would appawciate it!
Until very soon, Happy Pawlidays from Hope!
"Oh my gosh! I see an impawster!! That little "wannabe Hopester" above sure is cute wearing one of
the new christmas present sweaters we brought! I thought no one else could be as cute as me but I was
pawsitively wrong! Mom told me his name is Buda, and get this, he is STILL looking for a home to call his own, aka "available for adoption". Mom said the babies still in rescue need beds, sweaters, belly
bands, panties and liners, vitamins, toys, puppy pee pads and yummy treats for Christmas presents and for their
inventory to help other fluffsters. She explained how lucky I was that they rescued me but
didn't say any of the bad stuff (burrrrrr...... sends shivers down my spine). Anyway, I hope my friends reading this that care about me
will care about all of us in the rescue and send all the fluffsters some good presents for Christmas so they can have a good 2009!
Sending snowy kisses and snuggly warm hugs, Hope
"Hi my friends! Hope here again, getting ready to venture out in my wheels and see some of the pretty Christmas decorations. It sure is fun this time of year. Hey! I've got some really great news! You know my impawster Buda? Well guess what? Seems like there will be twin "Hopesters", ummmmm, fluffsters, (sorry I get carried away with myself sometimes) in VA. Yep you guessed it, mommy Joyce is getting Buda too! Let the compawtition begin, big boy! hehe!
"Look at these pretty big lighted things, bet I could beat them in race in my wheels, but they don't seem to want to take me up on my offer, oh well. Look at the Christmas tree I'm decorating for us. It is perfect fluffster size!
"Before I go off to finish help decorating things, I want everyone to know how thankful I am to you all. This is my first Christmas, a day I almost did not see. A day many of my friends in shelters everywhere will miss. They must never be forgotten, there are many innocent lives lost. I am one of the lucky ones, even with my severe disability I am safe, happy and doing things no one would have ever thought I'd do. My legs are straightening and now I can even take a couple of steps on my own and stand up for a limited time without my wheels. Can you believe that all I could do before was drag myself along the ground and hop? They say they have high hopes for me in the future and all my friends at the rescue say one day I will walk on my own. You know what? I believe them. I could have been left to die or even been left to only use a wheel chair my entire life. But they said that wasn't good enough for me or any baby. Now you see what you all can do for that "one" baby like me. Of course I believe in miracles, I am one. Thank you to everyone but especially to my mommy, Joyce. Auntie Laurie told me she is the Asian Dog Rescue volunteer of the year. She has done so much to help so many little ones at our rescue. We love you mommy Joyce!
Have a very wonderful time this season with those you love and remember those precious babies lost and those that need help now and in the future. Thank you for following my pawgress these past few months. Please follow my adventures in 2009 as I continue my quest to walk on my own and as me and my rescue, along with your help, save many more "Hopes".
Bye again for now, I've got some very impawtant business to take care of! I need to find Santa Paws so all of my friends will have a nice Christmas.
Happy Pawlidays everyone! Wishing you love, peace and happiness,
Your Christmas angel,(is my halo back yet? hehee) Hope
Hi, Friends of Asian Dog Rescue. Hope here wishing you a Happy New Year!
Gosh! It is awfully cold today, January 1, 2009, and I just came
in from running wild and spinning out in my wheels on mom's limited grass, it's winter ya know. But it sure is fun to make mud ruts and peeling out in the garden! teeheehee! Now I just want to relax in my nice warm
sweater by the fire side. Bet you feel the same way after all that
partying on New Year's Eve. Did you make ruts in your garden too???
Anyway, I just want to thank each and every one of you for all the help and
support you have given us at Asian Dog Rescue last year. As a result, we have
saved hundreds of fluffsters from shelters and puppymills. Many have been
successfully placed into loving homes during
2008, and the remainder are in long term foster getting the best possible care.
With so many people loosing their homes, there will be thousands more
who will need rescue and placement into loving homes in 2009, so we always need more financial help. I am forever filled with love and gratitude for being saved by Asian
Dog Rescue, and thank all of our supporters who have played a part in all things good.
I will write more soon if I ever get out of the dog house(so to bark), Your BFF(best fluffster friend), Hope
Hi, me again, and unfortunately due to "miss angel's" misdeeds(yeppers, that's me, I know how shocked you are!) and subsequent time out, I have had lots of time to think about how fortunate I am. Lots to bark about in the beginning of 09. Since I've had extremely expensive veterinary consultations and treatments, supplements, countless hours of various therapies and treatments, I've progressed so much! I can actually stand up on my own for a couple of minutes without my wheels before I fall down! My limbs are becoming more flexible and I can even walk a few steps. Isn't that pawsome???!!! They say I still have a long way to go before I really get better but that's okay too, every day is an adventure and I'm surrounded by love and hope, hey isn't that me???? Guess that is why they call me "Hope". How pawfect is that? I will be back soon to give everyone their Miss Tzumerica "fix". Wow I'm a "fix", or is that "fixed"????? Silly me........teeheehee.
Puppy kisses, tiny tzu giggles and super big hugs, Hope
Hi everyone! We're already in the big month of love, or so I've been told. How pawculiar that I haven't found a pawamour yet!
Maybe at this house is a cute canine cassanova!
Wait, what's this I see, um smell? Could it be the scent of puppy love???
Is that the florist delivery guy I see? Maybe he has some gifts for me......flowers, pawlloons and candy would be pawfect!
Hey! Where are you going Mr. flower man? Where are my pawsents for V day?!!
I'd like to wish all of my friends out there a Happy February and Valentine's Day. Make sure to kiss your favorite fluffster(s) and tell them you love them all month long. Never quit pawsuing your dreams..........I haven't. With love, faith, friends and Hope(heehee), you can do anything. Oh......and if you find that canine cupid anywhere, drop him my digits, ok?
Love and kissies, Hope
Hi there! Hope checking in again and I want to wish everyone a happy St. Pawtrick's Day! I just got done eating some greenies, how appawpriate, huh?
Oh and look, me and my sissy, Missy (tee hee, I made a rhyme) both have matching dresses.
I'm wondering if St. Patrick is coming back anytime soon, although I'm not quite pawsitive who St. Patrick is!
I even have some green jammies in celebration of this great day. I plan on watching the St. Pawtrick's Day Pawrade tonight on TV. I'm not yet ready to walk in a pawrade without my wheels but sometimes I get so excited I forget my disability and I just start walking a tiny bit. I'm not yet where I see myself being in my dreams, but I'm on my way and if this is as far as my little body will take me, I'm a happy little girl and everything is pawfect in my little world. I've come so far and I'm so thankful. My mommy said something kind of funny last night, she said, "Mom doesn't pay "Pick Three" in the Virginia Lottery contest but she played "Pick Three"
with Asian Dog Rescue in Tennessee and won the jack pot in adopting"! Get it, she adopted 3 doggies? hehehe
Well I gotta run now(so to bark), the pawrade will be coming on soon. I will check back in with you later. Make sure to eat something green for me!
Tzunormous hugs and puppy kisses, Hope
Hi everyone! It's me, Hope, checking in and giving you your monthly Hopester fix! I'm getting all geared up(in more ways than one, he he) for Easter!
Me and my friend, the duckster are getting ready to go plant some easter eggs filled with doggy treats for all the rescues at Asian Dog Rescue who haven't found their furever homes yet. Ducky is bigger than me, how sweet, hehe
Where's that Peter Cottontail? I don't see him hopping down any trail!
I'd better find a better spot than this to hide these eggs, there are some smart fluffsters at our rescue!
Check out mom's pansies.......you know flowers! Aren't they pawrty?
I guess you can see I'm wearing my tweety bird dress in honor of the birds at our rescue, they are very sweet......tweet, tweet. teeheehee, I'm a silly bird today!
Look, friends! I'm standing on all fours! I am doing pawsitively amazing in my therapy and my legs are getting stronger every day. I still can't and may never be able to completely give up my wheels but ya know what? I'm ok with that, I'm a very lucky girl. This big girl can stand on her own. Yay, me!
Oh no! Bleu's blown my cover! I'd better be hopping along now(literally, hehehe) so that no other fluff kids catch my Easter surprise. My Easter wish is for a better tomorrow where all my friends in shelters do not have to perish but have the pawmise of a lifetime of love and kindness. Compassion, forgiveness, selflessness and helping those that need us is the message I've learned. I was shown all of the above and I can tell you pawsonally how much it means to save even one life. Happy Easter, friends.
Your bunny tzugirl,
Hope
Hope here, checking in with all my best buds again! Can you believe it is June already?
My how time flies(and everything else!) when you've got wheels!
I've been spending my spare time, in between therapy sessions, doing lots of gardening. I love digging holes to plant the pretty flowers in.
Then I rev up my wheels and vroom, vroom, zoom, zoom, back and forth over the fresh dirt to pack it in so the flowers stay safe! Although sometimes I get carried away playing and I make pawtholes! I also like to help landscape the neighbor's yard by adding my own touch of summer fun, AKA, ruts from my wheels, hehe.
Silly humans if they can't take a Hopester joke!
Did you know someone barked that soon it will be the "dog days of summer"? I thought every day was a dog day???
Well I'm off to have a summer picnic with my boy toy, Thomas.
Wonder if he will like my new dress? Isn't it pawticularly pretty, if I do bark so, myself?
Have a tzuriffic summer all my friends and remember how much I love and appawciate each and every one of you for caring so much about my rescue and all my friends here.
Sending big tzu hugs to you,
Always your baby tzugirl, Hope
Hi there! Hope here, checking in, modeling my new dress! Isn't it pawsitively pawfect? My bestest bud, Miss Francine, sent me a box of pawsents from PetsMart, including this dress. And it isn't even a pawliday!
Now if only my wheels weren't in the way, I could get in my box and start digging(so to bark) through my things!
Look at all of these things!
Better put the bows and dresses away before Ming-Li sees them, teheshehe!
Silly, me, I made a funny, hehe!
Barking of funny, does this new dress my B*F*F sent me, make my B*U*T*T look big?
Not sure Miss Piggy here appawciates that fluffsterology, tehehe
Hark! (or Bark! hehe),I see, a PetsMart gift card just for me!
"Well, friends, enough self-indulgence(is that a word in the canine language?!) for now. I don't want to disillusion my fans who know...........ummm...........think I'm pawfect! So I'm just going to go back to lollygaging around on my cabana today and rest up for my shopping trip to PetSmart
provided by Ms. Francine! Stay tuned for more of my adventures! Soon to come, the hip Hopester terrorizing the local PetSmart with her hydraulic torqued out wheels(in my fluffster fantasies, hehe!)
Love, Your feisty, superfluffgirl, Hope
Hi everyone, the Hopester here! It sure does seem like it has been a long time since I've checked in with all of my friends!
I've been pawticularly busy getting ready for Howloween. I'm not sure that a witch costume is what I had in mind though. Do you think someone is trying to bark me something?
Oh yea, and I've been reading my fan mail of course........I'm quite the pawpular tzugirl these days!
I even get lots of rockin pawsents from my BFF, Francine.
Even my sissy Missy is trying to get in on some of my action, the oppawtunistic tart that she is!
And if she comes near my froggie too, I will paw her eyes out! I'm just teasing my sweet sissy Missy...............I think! Actually now that I pawnder the situation, I think she might be the one respawnsible for sticking me with this less than flattering costume! Let me get this straight, I get a witch hat for my head and a pumpkin for my body? Are you kidding moi?????
That's it, that not so sweet sissy of mine better run! I'm going to really show her who wears the witch costume around here!
Sorry everyone, looks like I've lost my halo again. We can't all be pawfect all the time you know! I pawmise I'll try to find it real soon! Until then,I will send you lots of supersized tzu kisses! Love, your k-9 rock star and sometimes angel, Hope
Hi Everyone! It's me, Hope! I can't pawssibly tell you how busy I'be been. I know it has been a long time since I've graced you with my presence(tee he he) but I can assure you that I've been up to only good things. I've even got a Christmas surprise for everyone soon! So hang in there friends and come back soon to see my Christmas gift to all of you!
Fluffster hugs and sweet tzu kisses, Hope
HAPPY HOPELIDAYS!
It's your best bud the Hopester making her pawliday debut! We just got back from Christmas howling in the neighborhood. Thomas really does need a vocal coach to help get his howls in pitch!
As pawmised, I've got a big surprise for all of my fluffster friends! Look at me, little Miss Santa Paws, with her sleigh full of pawsents for the dogs at ADR!! I hope I have enough for everyone, we have so many residents and so little money. Hey, I just had an idea! Maybe I can put on a sexy halter and try to pawfect my exotic prancing technique. Better get my K9-string on for all those dollar bills I'll be getting! Oh, sorry, I'm fantapawszing again! Back to reality!
Now if I can just get all of my dogdeers in gear, maybe we can start our journey. If I can get my big fat sissy, Missy...umm....err...excuse me, my "special" sissy Missy, out of the sleigh, maybe we can make it to Tennessee before New Years!
We have to travel down to Florida, to MS, MO, on to SC, NC, TN, finally up to NY and NJ and back down to VA! That's quite the day trip!
Hmmmmmm.....I wonder if I can figure out which direction to take. If I'm not careful, I may wind up in New York first! That just might be a good thing! On second bark, maybe not!
HiHo, HiHo, it's off to Precious Paws we go!
I'd like to wish all of my friends a Happy Pawliday. We have come so far together and worked hard to make a difference this year in the lives of many. Thank you all for doing your part to make this world a better place.
I have a special Christmas surprise for everyone. I hope you like it.
Please always remember those that you love that may not be with you at this special time of year. And never forget.............. There is always Hope for a better tommorrow.
Love and tzunormous tzu kisses,
Your number one tzupergirl,
Hope
Hi everyone! Your little "Hope" for the month of February is checking in!
Did everyone have a nice Valentine's Day?
I hope you got lots of treats from your pawamour! The only thing I got was my wheels stuck in the snow and I had to paw my way out!
I did make my way to a dance pawty for Asian Dog Rescue and danced the two-step(literally) to "These Boots Are Made For Walking"..... or in my case...... burning rubber.....teehehe.
I have a new video for everyone as my Valentine's Day pawsent to all of my friends!
Love and tzuper big hugs from your favorite video vixen,
Hope
