“We are so grateful for the time we had with Jade – and are sad that it abruptly ended, much too soon. After suddenly going blind, Jade was diagnosed with a brain-tumor and was euthanized on Tuesday, July 20, 2010. My forever image of Jade is her standing on her hind legs and using her front paws to open our sliding glass door – something she did, daily, (but, never closed it behind herself). Jade was a perfect playmate and companion for our older dog; gentle and tolerant of our children’s affection; and my personal shadow. I loved taking Jade for early-morning jogs and walks – she intuitively had a perfect-heel – I think because she loved being by my side and had no desire to pull ahead. She brought so much joy to all our lives and we miss her dearly.” Posted 7-24-10. Robin and Tim O'Sullivan ________________________________________
New Happy Tales!
![]() Hi all: Hope everyone is well. Just wanted to let you all know that Kage' (Jet) and Kumo (GG) are doing fine. I took this picture early today before they both retreated indoors to the a.c. They like to help their feathered friends by barking at the squirrels at our birdfeeders. Kage' is maturing into a big, strong pooch with his regular exercise and seems to enjoy his work as a therapy dog. Kumo has become a lot more social, and is maintaining her weight with diet and mild exercise. One of her favorite pastimes is doing back rolls on the lawn. Thanks again for the work that you did in fostering these two pooches. Best regards......John Streeter ![]() My name is Tristan. I can’t believe that I have been adopted for almost three years already. My life in my forever home has been the best. My family loves me and I love them too. I remember that the first few days of living of their house I was so scared. It was hard for me to get used to living with them. They really understood even after I almost destroyed their living room! I really love my home. I’m the one who always gets spoiled. I have four mommies and two dads!! (I’m so lucky). Dubeysa is always taking care of my health and buys me new toys. Neyba is the one who always wants me to go by the rules of the house. Danitza is the one who always spoils me by letting me break the house rules without letting Neyba know. (don’t tell Neyba! shhh). Lastly, Pablo, the one who always takes me to run every Sunday when he is not tired. Wait - I almost forgot two important people, my mommy and daddy, the people who feed me and console me when fourth of July comes… (Yes...I’m scared of fireworks). I have two best buddies. Max, my neighbor, a Rottweiler, whom I always play with when I’m outside and sometimes we even have running races by the fence. And Mark, who is like my brother, he comes to visit me often when his owner comes to visit my mom and dad. I have shared many adventures with them that are unforgettable. Playing with Mark, Going to the Park, Running with Pablo (even though this is very tiring) is what I enjoy the most! …However...as much as I enjoy going for a walk or running with Pablo, sometimes it gets a little bit annoying whenever we pass by the poodles house. Believe me poodles CAN be annoying because they are so clingy and small and I personally hate that I am too tough for them and afraid I will hurt them. One more thing about the picture above, I absolutely, definitely love to play when it’s snowing and with the snow, it’s my favorite season to play with sticks, hide my toys and find them again! Anyway, I love my life right now! It’s great! Posted 7-12-10. The Pena Family

![]() ![]() It has been a year since we adopted Bruno. He is now a big part of our family. He goes to day care once a week and also enjoys going to get his once a month ice cream. He has eaten so well since we adopted him he tipped the scales at 110 lbs. The vet said 90-95lbs.so now he is 95 lbs. and he looks good. I would never have thought he would be a conversation piece. I have people stop along the road and ask about him. Most have never seen a black shepherd and want to know where we got him. I tell them to check VGSR website well he is doing great and we really love him so much thanks again to all VGSR staff and Joyce his foster mom. Colin, Karen and Bruno Posted 7-12-10.
