Cupcake

Hello,

I've had Cupcake for around a year now! She was a pre-Christmas gift to me (as I was to her). She has been a blessing in my life. I look forward to coming home everyday and seeing her run around like crazy out of excitement. She does this Figure 8 run from the living room to the dining room. It is hilarious. I find myself doing the same! :)

Initially. when I adopted her she was hesitant about getting close. As a matter of fact the only time she did was when she was trying to show her possession over me, but I resolved that fairly quickly. :) The doggy daycare she attends absolutely LOVES her, she plays with other dogs well at the dog park, the groomer always puts cute bows in her hair, our meetup is very familiar with her and friends and family always ask about her. She is a joy and blessing to have!

I admit, I am one of those dogmoms who has to dress my baby up for the holidays. She has everything from star spangled banner dress to wear for Fourth of July to St. Pattys Day wear. She actually likes playing dress up! Just like her mommy!

It's funny, everyone thinks she is prissy, but she gets down and dirty with the boys. It's hard to keep her coat white all of the time, but her fun is my aim, so as long as she is enjoying herself, mommys happy!

Thank you again for all that you do APR. I don't know what I'd do if Cupcake were not in my life this day forward! Here's to one year, and many many more with her!

Oliver

We are definitely a dog family!! Our children have had dogs since they were 5 years old. The youngest daughter is now 19 and gone on to college.

This year was a tough year for our family. As the kids grew up, we ended up with 4 great dogs.... We had a Golden, a Cairn Terrier, a mini schnauzer and a mix. The Golden and the Cairn were best buds. Unfortunately, our Golden, Maverick and our giant mix, Harrie both went to doggie heaven this year. They were both 13. It was so devastating to lose members of our family so close together. We were left with our Cairn, Tiger and our Schnauzer, Stella when we felt the need to add to our little four legged family once more. We knew that we wanted to give a forever home to a dog in need.

We knew we wanted to get one from Atlanta Pet Rescue. We walked in and fell in love with little Oscar who is now Oliver.....This picture tells it all. He loves belly rubs.

Thanks Atlanta Pet Rescue. Our family is complete again and but we'll never forget our Maverick and Harrie.
