Legends of the Pekingese

The Common Legend:

A lion and a marmoset fell in love. But the lion was too large. The lion went to the Buddha and told him of his woes. The Buddha allowed the lion to shrink down to the size of the marmoset. The Pekingese is the result.

A lesser know Legend:
A lion fell in love with a butterfly. But the butterfly and lion knew the difference in size was too much to overcome. Together they went to see the Buddha, who allowed their size to meet in the middle. From this, the Pekingese was created.

Charlie and his little Friend

Well, dear friends, one thing I'm learning about this new journey is that there are a lot of forgotten dogs in our state.  I had the honor of pulling 2 dogs June 3 (Friday) from the Saginaw Animal Control.  What wonderful people that work there - everyone was so generous with their time and heart.  Their facility is nice, clean and FULL of animals.  So sad to see so many angels waiting for fur-ever homes.

But my efforts were to collect Charlie, a young male Pekingese and a young male Silky that I temporarily named Georgie.  Both couldn't have been more than a 18 months and relatively healthy. 

Charlie was an owner surrender because they didn't want to care for his skin allergies.  Sadly, they had rescued him from the Roanoke animal shelter only a few weeks prior meaning Charlie hadn't known stability for some time.  Charlie weighs about 10 lbs and is un-altered.  His little personality was HUGE.  His tail wags non-stop, he's full of kisses and curiosity.  He was calm and got along wonderfully with the Silky and with my girls.  Adorable.  Charlie is currently being fostered with Pekes and You Pekingese Rescue out of Oklahoma.

Charlie you are in my prayers.  May you find a wonderfully loving fur-ever home.







The Silky (Georgie) is a young, un-altered male that was found as a stray.  His sweet hair was matted and covered in burrs but he didn't let that phase him.  He is so sweet, calm and LOVED my girls.  They played so hard running and chasing in the backyard.  Neither showed any food agression and Georgie just wanted to explore and play.  He is still very full of puppy energy but appears to be housebroken!  Best of both worlds!  Here's little Georgie who is with a foster family associated with Oklahoma Boston Terrier & Small Dog Yorkie Rescue Society.  My heart is so full of hope for him - what a great pet for a family he'll be.  Prayers to Georgie and high hopes that you find a fur-ever home!




 
Dear sweet fur-babies...may you have a life full of happiness,safety and love.  Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey.

Best wishes,
Jennie
