Mya

We picked up Mya from Wayne on 9/11/14. At 7months, 43 lbs, she is quite the busy little girl. Being a Beligian Malinois and still basically a puppy, if you don¡¦t keep her busy she will find something to do. And most of the time you won¡¦t like it.
We have been working with her walking skills along with agility and obedience commands. With a few tricks worked in to mix things up a bit. The cats are a continuing work in progress. Most of the time the poor cats come out a little slobbering wet from being licked and fleeced to death by Mya.
The neighbors have a few dogs which all run loose, one of which was a husky named Chance that would come over and we let him in our fenced yard to play. They got along great until he went missing two weeks ago. She¡¦s a bossy girl, but he was teaching her some dog-dog manners for usƒº since our dogs are old and don¡¦t want to play with her.

Wayne
Got no photos doing agility yet. But here are some shots. The husky is the neighbors dog who has gone missing for a week now. Would let him in the fenced yard with Mya for dog to dog training. And ware her down a bit. They just let the dogs loose 24/7, sad, he was a good dog.

Bogart aka Ringo

Hello! Just sending a little update on Ringo who has now been renamed Bogart. I have attached some pictures

Happy Tail

Hi Michelle --

As you can see, it has been almost two years since I adopted Smeagol (aka Sting). He is doing so well! When I took him home, he weighed only 2.4 lbs (he was the litter runt) and now he is a big boy at 30 lbs. Super tall and skinny. The vet thinks he is part greyhound! Attached is a current photo. I just wanted to touch base and let you know he was doing well!

Strip Mine 1 now Meg

Hi Michelle,
I thought if send you a quick update on Strip Mine 1 (her name is now Nutmeg
"Meg"). She is settling in great, growing and loves our other dog Bella. We did
one of those DNA tests in her & it came back with Belgium Malinois, Chinese
Shar-Pei, Chow Chow mix and mixed breed for her grandparents. Interesting
mix... She's a good girl and we're enjoying her.

Take Care,
Lisa Witek

Hudson is right at home!

I came to your event at Petco recently and initially had my heart set on a Wheaten Terrier that was up for adoption, but was running a few minutes late to the event. When I arrived, the dog I was interested in had already been adopted. Slightly disappointed, I decided to wander around the Petco to find treats and toys for my other dog and stumbled on a cute as can be dog that had a Blackhawks jersey on. I was complimenting the woman who had him on how cute he was and asked what kind of dog she had. She told me they guessed he was a Lab/Greyhound mix, but that they couldn't really be sure. I leaned down and began petting the cute, little guy and looked into his eyes and instantly fell in love. He was happy and super friendly. I just knew I had found my dog.

I've had Hudson for just over a week now and he's doing wonderful in his new home and getting along with his new sister, Mazie (a rescued Cairn Terrier). He's having a blast with his new dog friends at the dog park, playing in my backyard, and snuggling up in bed. He insists on sleeping right against me at night and follows me everywhere I go. I've always believed that everything happens for a reason and I definitely believe showing up late to the event was exactly as it was supposed to be. Thank you to the foster family who kept Hudson warm and safe until he found his permanent home. :)

On Father's Day this year I lost my best friend Lucky to a brain tumor.  I wanted to wait for a period of time to grieve for him but when I looked around the house I notice how empty it seemed not having a dog.  I kept telling myself wait you'll find another one that will fill the void but not replace the one dog that I loved so much.  Well I was scrolling through my Facebook and came acrossed a beautiful Greman Shepherd that Linda had just posted.  She said it would be in on August 19th so I decided to take a look at him, plus foster him to see if it would work.  It was a ruff start.  He peed on my carpet, growled at my husband but only at night and I wanted to give up with in the first week.  Oh and I forgot the most important part he wouldn't eat, so I started feeding him a raw diet which he eat like crazy.  He finally decided he was going to eat the kibble that I initially bought and now he is doing great.  He's gaining weight slowly but it will take time to put the weight on that he needs without making him fat.  I love him to pieces and he is doing a lot better with my husband.  He's a great dog, thank you Magnificent Mutts and all your volunteers for all you do.

Happy Birthday Molly!!

Shila

We've had Shila for over a month now. Her coat is just gorgeous - still has a long way to go for her to look like an official collie, but we are on our way. Put some weight on her - she's just a little over 53 lbs. She has laser treatments weekly for her injured hip.

Loves to chase the ball - never retrieves but she has fun , none the less, running after it.

Lucius

Hi Marta,


He seems quite happy. I'm not sure he can get any more active. lol He's definitely warmed up to his new home and was bouncing off the walls this morning. He even jumped in the shower when I was getting out. He's a lot of fun and snuggled with me for most of the night. He's not having any issues with eating or the litter box, and as you know, nothing in the house is off limits to "Curious Lucius"… even the dog and her toys! "

Ana now Molly

Hi Courtenay,




Just wanted to share a few pictures of Molly (Ana) and give you an update. She's been in her new home a little over a month and we say all the time how lucky we were to get such a great puppy. She was left out of her crate (on accident) on her 4th day with us for 5 hours after she was let out for lunch and was a perfect angel. She is able to go out in the yard with us without a leash and stays within her yard. She loves walks, she gets to go twice a day and is getting closer and closer each day to making friends with our cats. She was 26lbs when we first got her and is now 34.

Ebony aka Buttercup

7 weeks ago I fell in love with this face! Buttercup, now renamed Ebony, is the sweetest little girl. She knows that she's very cute! I call her my Diva! Our first vet visit we only weighted 5lbs. Weeks later Ebony is now 16 lbs!! She is the most well mannered dog ever. She is potty trained, crate trained, and even knows a few tricks! We have made a big move to Wisconsin due to my job and she is loving all the doggie friends she is making! She sleeps with me at night but makes sure to wake me up at 6 every morning for breakfast! Ebony is loving life and obviously very spoiled! She has such a personality and I couldn't have asked for a better dog! This little girl is my life! Thank you so much!

Shila

Hi everyone ! Just giving you an update on Shila. She's turned into a real Velcro type dog - no matter how many times I get up to do things, she's right behind me. Gets upset on days I can't take her to work but she has Paul (husband) to keep her company since he's retired.

Her coat is growing in nicely and we are slowly but surely putting some weight on her. Her injured leg doesn't keep this girl down - she runs like the wind! Met her doggie cousin, Roo yesterday and let me tell you - she is fast!!! They had so much fun together running in the yard.

She is awesome - doesn't need to be crated at all , though last night I found her sleeping in her crate - first time I've seen her do that. She needs a smidge of training with Stay but otherwise no complaints. I couldn't ask for a more perfect dog and just love her so much!
