The rash of home foreclosures and our economic downturn has many families facing tough downsizing decisions. Some of these hard decisions involve heart breaking placement of family pets. Although I can understand when one loses their home and is forced to take an apartment where pets are not allowed, I still cringe at the thought. For me, it would be like placing a family member. I have recovered several previously placed pets due to the conditions they were forced to endure. I have even rescued two Rottweilers this last year. It is tough for everybody and if we can help out we will do our best!

Recently I have received several calls for help and even a request that I take back a couple of crested females placed years ago. However, this call was real special to us. It was from a former client facing a double whammy with an elderly mother requiring assisted care housing and a move to a community that restricted animals. She would not put these dogs just anywhere. The two sisters out of a former retired crested bitch named Morningside My Mia are, putting it as I was told, "inseparable." Trevi and Gucci, the mother of our own Mae Kwest, needed a home fast. Oh boy, when my soft hearted husband heard that, Trevi and Gucci were on a flight to Las Vegas within a week! A bit overweight, wearing gorgeous jeweled collars bearing their names, here is a picture of the two hug-a-bugs that fit in so well and currently live in our laps. We are so happy to have them as they are just perfect. And yes, they do almost everything together. It is so hilarious and hubby is happy now with "his" two little doogies!

So whatever happened to our little loverboy Ted? Several of you have inquired. Ted resides with his new Montana family that wrote, "I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how Ted is doing. He did have a pretty bad URI – after the trip … My vet had him on Orbax for 5 days and he wasn't really improving, so I brought him again and he put him zithromax – which worked wonders – he is now doing so great! He is the most loving boy I have ever met! At the vets office he was love biting the doctor's face and hands – lol – boy was he surprised to see such a loving guy at how sick he must have been feeling! I wondered how his true personality would be after he got better. I wondered if he was just being so affectionate because he was feeling so icky – NOPE – he is just that way! :) Thank you so much for Ted. He is an awesome addition to our family, I could not of hoped for a more wonderful boy! :)" Be still my heart, I am so happy for Ted!

Our lovely desert animals continue to amaze me. I love placing a new critter here for everyone to enjoy. Again, most of you know we not only have the Sphynx cats, Warmblood horses and Chinese Crested dogs that we breed and offer to the public, but we also have barn cats, rescued dogs, pot belly pigs, chickens, peacocks, koi and other critters that we enjoy everyday. Along with our eclectic group we have wild animals that seem to thrive here as well. This edition I wish to show off our gorgeous ducks. Fun to photograph and watch, this male is really gorgeous! We also have chipmunks, plenty of quail, a coyote of course, a billion rabbits and wild birds of every shape and fashion. Life is good!

In case you are new to our website and reside outside the USA, we welcome your visit, any pictures and comments, but we no longer do shipments outside the continental United States. The requirements are just too much to deal with and when a client changes their mind or falls off the radar so-to-speak, it causes me to be stuck with an animal that is now older and more difficult to place. If you are overseas and wish one of our little friends, do as others have and look into an agent to pick up your animal from us here. Your agent can get all the tests, microships, quarantines and whatnot per your country requirements and ship your new friend as soon as it is possible. I am older now and prefer concentrating on my animals here and will be happy to show anyone our selection or ship anywhere in the USA!

Keep caring for your animals and remember good health for our pets is our responsibility. Everyone loves to be loved. A pet is a comfort, a joy and a buddy forever. Consider what joy a new pet can bring into your life or that of someone you love. Call or email us now to bring happiness home!
