Munchie (formerly Dandy)

Hello,
 
I just wanted to send a little note to update you on Munchie (formerly Dandy).  Its been nearly 10 months since I brought Munchie home with me.  He has brought so much happiness and joy into my life that I can't even remember what it was like without him.  He is coming out of his shell and has taken to defending our yard from all foreign threats, mostly just the neighbor's dog.  Unfortunately, Munchie has been suffering from seizures.  The vet isn't sure what is causing them but they do not seem to harm him.  We just watch him closely and take care of him when it does happen.  He seems no worse for wear and is still the happy little snugglebug that wriggled his way into my lap and heart.  I just wanted to thank you again for providing me with such a wonderful companion.

Bukki and Midge

We got Bukki (on left) from NASAP in 2003. He was a stray from Hinton and had some issues which he overcame very well in time. He is quite the guy – all 22 lbs. of him – not a lap cat, but always wants to be close to you with his tail wagging overtime. About a year ago we decided to get a companion for him and went to NASAP where we found Midge (on right). She has a beautiful personality, quite an unassuming little girl that loves to sit in your lap and get petted. Both of them have become the best of pals, chasing each other around the house. They are part of our family and we love both of them dearly. Just wanted to share our “kids” with you, they sure have enriched our lives greatly.   Helmut & Jeanne 

Maggie

We adopted Maggie just a few weeks ago and we are delighted to have her in our home.  She continues to settle into our home and her personality is shining through.  She is a very playful, social dog.  She loves to be around us all the time and she likes to play with our other dog, Rainy and with our three cats as well.  She is a little overweight so we go for walks and she has free run of the acreage which she never leaves so the weight will slowly come off.Everyone in my family is so excited to have Maggie and she is so loving we couldn’t and wouldn’t want to imagine her not with us. Thanks NASAP!The Boyd family  

Phoebe and Georgia

Hi Kelly,
 
Well, its been 8 days since I've adopted Pheobe and Georgia, and in such a short time, their personalities have really been brought out.  It started out as Georgia being the 'troublemaker' always getting into places she shouldn't be and scratching things she shouldn't be scratching while Pheobe was calm and liked to hang out on your lap being really sweet and all.  Just recently their roles were reversed, Phoebe started being the troublemaker while Georgia would be sitting pretty (same as in the picture) or like hanging out on your lap, she also tries to 'kiss' you on the lips when she's close to you.  Together, they're both really sweet.
 
This week I was so worried about them because I was going back to work, I thought about setting up webcams so that I can see what they're up to.  But after my first day of leaving them home alone for about 10 hours, I came home and I think they pretty much slept the whole time I was gone.  I left out some extra food for them to eat but I don't think any of it was touched.  I came through the door and they come strolling in from my bedroom like, 'Hey what's up?'.  So now I have no worries about leaving them at home when I'm gone to work.

Hi Ashley,
Here are some recent pictures of Maddie, you can see she has really filled out.
The back of the couch on the cream blanket is one of her favorite spots to sit.

Im so happy I adopted her, she is loads of fun and very sweet. She follows me around and helps me to foster orphan kittens, playing with and washing them. It was very interesting to see the updated photos of her kittens, looks like they all got her big fluffy tail!

I was a bit nervous adopting an older cat but would now highly recommend it. Maddie is still so playful but is over her naughty phase. Its hard to remember a time I didn’t have her!

Thank you for taking such good care of her and her babies.

Watson

Ashley; I finally have some pictures of Watson to forward.  It seems technology is not my forte and I had to wait for my oldest daughter to set me up at Christmas.  He is really a great little guy.  He was neutered and tattooed on Friday - good to get that over with - and I gather he did very well, but it's not a fun day for anyone.  Apparently he has the potential to be a rather large cat, so we are supposed to watch how much we feed him.
 
Anyway, the first picture is from some time ago and he's curled up with Nigel, our other cat, who took him in under his wing and taught him what needs to be learned - like how to wash.  The second picture is a more recent shot of the two of them.  Pictures 3 and 4 show him watching the Japanese fighting fish that came home from the office for the Christmas holidays.  I don't think the fish knew enough to be alarmed, and Watson spent considerable time just watching him.
 
He loves to sit in our front window and watch the goings on on the street.  The snow on Saturday morning was quite a treat for him to watch.  He is very affectionate and always comes to greet me when I get up in the morning.  I think he knows that breakfast is not far behind.
 
All the best to you in the new year, and keep up the work you are doing.  It's really worthwhile.

Mary

We adopted a dog from you about a year and a half a go.  She was a puppy at the time named Mary, the people who had her were first time fosters and we wanted to thank them.  We renamed her Kenzie.  I lost their e-mail address so maybe this will find them somehow!
We love our crazy dog so much.  She has been a bit of handful at times!  She loves to dig up all my planters and beds and every morning is an adventure to see what repairs I will have to make!
She loves the off leash dog park and has many friends there. 
Kenzie is amazing with the our kids, although she does get a little excited at times, trying to pull them along by thier sleeves or pant legs.  She cannot be outside when we are sledding because she chases us down the hill and then tries to tackle us!  Instead she stays inside and crys her little heart out to be with us. 
We love her very much and she is a great part of our family. 
She still makes her funny yawning noise when she wakes up in the morning which is adorable.
She took a long time to house train but in the last few monthes she has been perfect with no accidents.
She is not supposed to be on the furniture but figures that is where she belongs until I come in the room.  She hears me coming and jumps off the couch to lay on the floor and look at me full of innocence. 
Although she had been challenging at times we are so greatful that we found her and made her part of our family.  She is very much a puppy still and plays like crazy with stuffies, chewing out all the eyes and then cleaning the stuffing out of them!  She gets right in the middle of any family activity and can't stand being away from us.
We can't thank nasap enough for caring for her until she could find her forever home.  She is an integral part of our family and as my 5 year old son said the other day  "Kenzie is such a pretty dog that the boy dogs wouldn't be able to resist her!  Nobody could resist her!"
We are greatful everyday that we found her and even when we want to strangle her for her crazy ways she looks at us with her expressive face like she is thinking "What??" and we cave all over again!
We are keeping our eyes open for another dog to bring home so she has a lovely friend to play with and keep active with.
Thanks again nasap, you changed our lives in such a positive and loving way that we will always keep nasap and other rescue societies in our hearts and wallets!!
Thank you for everything, we are truely blessed (she is nosing me right now for some love and attention!).
