PIPPEN

Update 06/13/07 (These letters mean the most to us, thanks Cami)

"Hi!! I am Cami S. This is the first dog I've ever had, but I will do whatever it takes to make Pippen happy. (Although I have a suspicion that we might spoil him.) He is such a sweat heart! Pippen follows me and sleeps on my bed. He play nips at my fingers when I rub him. Little Leloo annoys the heck out of him. He gives her a soft warning growl and she skitters away. We will send you some pictures soon!

I hope you don't miss him too much. It is hard when a dog goes away.

I know because our Maya dog died last year. I miss her so much that I still cry sometimes. I know Pippen misses you.

My email address is... I hope you write soon.

Bye-bye

Camille"

Hi Denise.

I just wanted to drop a line and let you know that Pippen is doing great with the other dogs and with us. He is bonding with Cami fabulously. While I am home doing homework he will wait in Cami's room or at my feet for her to return from school, then he will follow her around. He does not seem scared at all anymore.

Leloo was sick for a couple days after the meatloaf disaster, both vomiting and diarrhea, but she is back to herself now. She and Pippen even play a little bit. After I cleaned Leloo's bum yesterday she was very frisky, as she always is after getting bathed, and she was teasing Pippen and he responded with some playfulness. It was really cute.

One note of concern, however. His cough is not gone, and I think it may be getting worse. He is usually fine, and then he gets a fit of coughing. Do you think he needs more antibiotics? If so, do you think that his vet in Utah can call them in to my vet? If needed, I will take him in to the vet, but if I would rather avoid an office visit if possible.

We had a lovely time with you last weekend and I learned a lot from you.

Thank you for everything,

Clare"

From Foster family:

"Hi! Mommy just let us see Pippen. He looks so happy! Mom said he was blessed to find a wonderful home. We are doing good, and we all are happy that Pippen has someone to cuddle. Especially Rhylie (she's my big sister who Pip slept with) I don't think Pork Chop and Pez miss him much(they are our Jack Russells) My Mom said that Heavenly Father sent Pippen to our house because he knew we would be sure he found a good home, and he did. Thank you for helping him, and thankyou to his new family too. They look like good people. Rheid"

PIPPEN is a aprox. 6 yr old Black Pomeranian male that is so sweet, loving, learning to love other small dogs, housetrained, but still a little scared little lover that gives kisses, sits on your lap, sleeps on your bed angel.  His trailer dwelling family moved and tied him to neighbors porch injured.  He has had medical check up and doing fine.  He will get shots, neuter, microchip and all necessary medical attention he needs. Yeah Clare in Portland is adopting Pippen and flying us there to spend 24 hrs with their family!  Thank you Clare and family, you were so nice and I know Pippen will be well cared for and loved the rest of his life!

"Wow, what is that big Mountain in Oregon?"

"Mt Hood flying into Portland Pippen." (Pippen was so well behaved, quiet and calm the entire flight.)

"I don't think we're in Utah anymore Pippen."

"No this is much greener!"

"I love all the red barns in the countryside."

This is Leelo under her safe place.  She is partly blind.

This is Hunter, Pippen's new family has been fostering him since he was a kitten and he is the friendliest kitty in the world.

Cami just loves Pippen and will sleep with him every night.

Hunter loves Pippen too

Wow, what a perfect family picture, with Pippen and mom, Foxy and kitty with Cami and Leilu with Mckinley. 

Foxy liked Pippen right away.

Clare found out the hard way that it is better to fix your little female Pom because when she had her first litter, two died and Leilu was born partly blind, and Foxy got mamory cancer. She had her spayed and has all her pets spayed since.

Leelo is starting to come out of her safe place

Fox and Leelo are best friends.

Mom Foxy is twice as big as daughter Leelo

Pippen is fitting right in

Even Leelo started liking him by second day

Just one happy little family

Back to the airport, passing the Portland LDS Temple in the trees

Goodbye Portland and Pippen!  Thanks Clare for taking such good care of us.

Wait who is that on the plane?  "The Service Kitty Hunter of course! And he is saying goodbye to Portland as he is the ambassador of the perfect companion kitty on a flight."

Bye Portland, thank you Clare and family, Have fun Pippen! Salt Lake City here I come.
