Happy Endings
Ike, formerly Chuckie
Hi Everybody,
Just wanted to let you know I am feeling much better and hardly ever cough. I know all my basic commands and it turns out I am 100% housebroken. Every day I get long walks on a leash then a romp in my own five-acre fenced pasture where I am learning to play ball. The people here are very happy I came to live with them. They said I should tell you I am the most perfect dog in the world.
Thank you for taking such good care of me until my new mom came to adopt me. I will never forget your kindness.
Love,
Ike Eisenhower (formerly Chuckie).

Maggi, formerly Miss Pretty
I am writing this letter is reference to "Miss Pretty" - now known as "Maggi" to update you on her since she adopted us October 25, 2008. Maggi is so wonderful!! We absolutely love her! She loves the kids and loves to play and is really starting to show us her outgoing nature. She is still a bit timid at times and if there are a lot of people around but is getting much better! We have never had to crate her... she sleeps with us or one of the kids... and we really don't know what we did without her! She was spayed this week but doing great!
I'm attaching a picture of our daughter, Abbi, and Maggi on Halloween. Abbi was a sleepover girl and Maggi was, well who else, but UNDERDOG!!!
Thank you again for bringing her into our lives!

George(formerly Feather)
I believe it has been about four years ago that I adopted a kitten you had named of Feather, maybe you will remember him when you see this picture. We renamed him George. I emailed you a picture of him shortly after we got him, he is the kitten at the very end of your Happy Endings page. I visited your web site just last night and I thought I would see if he was still pictured. And there he was a the very end. Enclosed please find a picture of him as he is now. The coffee table that he is laying on is 26" wide. As you can see he has grown into a very big kitty! He is a great cat and we love him dearly. Thanks for letting me adopted such a great friend!

Lily Mae and Lucy Lou (formerly Lovebug)
Bob and I adopted a senior bulldog, Lillie Mae a few months ago and she is adapting wonderfully! We also have a golden retriever, Cooper that plays with her, yes she plays! She gets very excited, and is very lovable for her 9 years. We are so happy with her.
I also adopted Lovebug (I renamed her Lucy Lou) back in January, and whoever named her Lovebug was totally right! She is so sweet and gives me kisses on my nose. She gets along really well with our dogs.
I can't say enough good things about the staff at the Bradford County Humane Shelter. All were very helpful with our questions and helped make the transition easy.
Attached are some photos of both Lillie Mae and Lucy Lou! Enjoy!

Chica and Lupe
Although we feel we are just beginning to embark on a reasonably great relationship (3 months into it) with some human folks - we thought we'd give a "happy endings" post. We've been taken hostage by a couple in Binghamton NY and spend our days keeping these folks on their toes. There are the hours of mandated petting, play (see photo attached) and nuggling. Much dialog is actually required, daily, to ensure adequeate food bowl attention (we like an elegant multi-bowl presentation and massive quantities). Not to mention getting adequate "box service"...well you know how eager humans can be about that....
We left the shelter together in March of this year. It is really nice to have a pal from the old country to share the experiences of adjusting to a bustling NY bunny and chipmonk viewing lifestyle . Our humans have renamed us, as we gather is a common thread in our adoptee experiences. They seem to pester us constantly by calling out to "Lupe" (formerly Zip Zap) and "Chica" (formerly Cuddlebug) - The "nombres" are in deference to us coming from "South of the Border". The female in the couple took espa�ol in la escuela ...what goobers they are. ...All in all though, we have to say things are pretty good (although we're pretty sure we could have done better with respect to getting top-notch humans, and we let our staff know this when necessary).
Anyway - we hope all our old pals are long gone and that the new kitties get homes QUICKLY!!!! Oh yeah - and that the loud barking dogs get homes quickly too - so that the kitties can get some much needed peace and quiet...:)

Hi! My mom took some better pictures of me and she thought that you might like to see them.
I had another vet appointment today. I got a booster shot and a blood test for heart worms so that I could be put on Interceptor. My mom also ordered me K9 Advantix. I have another vet appointment on July 15th to get fixed. I don't know what that means, but mom said that she has to drop me off early in the morning and pick me up the next day. I don't really like the sound of getting fixed and being away from home for a day, maybe I should tell her I'm not broken.
Einstein finally played with me the other day! We had so much fun running around in the indoor arena. There is a big pile of sand outside and I love running around that and digging holes in it.
After a lot of begging mom finally gave in and bought a slip cover for the couches so that I can sometimes sleep on them, and dad even let me sleep on the bed a couple of times!
I hope that my sister has found a good, loving home!
