It is with great sadness that we hereby announce the passing of our beloved Milkshake who we believe was 16-17 years old. Last night, our sweet girl experienced 2 seizure type incidents, the second substantially worse than the first. We rushed her to the emergency vet where we were informed that a neurological exam indicated the existence of a brain tumor which would cause her continued pain and suffering. On the vet's recommendation, we decided to euthanize our sweet girl. We loved Milkshake dearly and will always miss the sight of her floppy ears bouncing up and down with excitement at feeding time.

BTW, this is the original version of the previous photo taken in my home office. There were 8 dogs asleep in the "guest" bed while I worked at my desk, just to the left.

Thanks for your time.

Sadly, Happy was abandoned because he was elderly, blind, toothless and almost deaf. He now lives "happily" at our senior dog sanctuary.

Happy was abandoned, likely because he was elderly and blind. Now he is mostly deaf too. Yet he is the happiest of our 12 elderly dogs.

A big thank you to whomever sent us the big package of XL p*e p*e pads from Amazon a couple of days ago. We were thrilled to receive the donation but there was no name on the package to allow for a proper thank you.

Happy New Year from PiP! Chanel (11) is looking very happy so far, seen here fast asleep with her legs up on Mitzi's back!

Chanel and her brother, Gucci, still need a home together. Everyone who meets her wants to adopt her but she wants to be with her older brother.

Gucci (14) (see Oct 30th picture) is very sweet but has some minor quirks: 1) He doesn't let you pick him up until he feels very comfortable with you. 2) He needs p*e p*e pads to supplement his trips out side. 3) He sometimes gets a little snappy with another dog here but he has no teeth, so he is harmless.

Chanel is not the only dog who makes herself comfy by laying on other dogs. Check out some others . . .

This is Happy . . . but you probably knew that just by looking at his sweet smile! Happy was abandoned because he was old and blind, much like all of the other pet residents with whom he resides at PiP.

I am introducing you to Happy again now because he is in the running for America's Favorite Pet and will need your votes in order to win. You can learn more about Happy and view his entry at https://americasfavpet.com/2025/happy-9334/holidays/ Voting begins January 6 at 9AM.

Thank you in advance for your enthusiastic support!

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah from Happy and the rest of the PiP crew!

PiP's first video post below: Last year we fostered an adorable bonded pair of pugs and found them a great home together. This year, we took in our first bonded pair for permanent placement. Here are our adorable 14 year old shih tzu brothers, Rusty and MJ, cleaning each other.

Lovely Luna thinks it's fine if Ray accidentally walks into her. I wish all of the dogs felt that way.

We can not help but smile seeing our former foster pug, Molly living the high life Christmas Day with her adoptive siblings in her new home on the Long Island sound. Molly was given up to be euthanized almost 2 years ago at the age of 12 supposedly because her mother was moving to an apartment that didn't allow dogs. She was deaf, had a large growth hanging off her hind leg and dental problems, none of which affected her ability to love. The reality is many people surrender or abandon senior dogs because they do not want to care for them in their old age. Some drop them at the shelter without looking back and walk out with a puppy. Fact is there should be a comprehensive list of people known to have neglected, abused, abandoned or surrendered an animal without good cause. All shelters and rescue groups must have access to this info!!

Joe is doing better. He now ventures out of his self imposed isolation in the mudroom/laundry room to socialize. He even slept in my daughter Nikki's room this weekend when she visited. Once I saw him start to walk down the hall to my bedroom but then he changed his mind. He loves to be petted and shoves his head into you if you stop petting him. Joe has been enjoying leash walks with our friend Matt who helps out frequently. We are very pleased with his progress. In the video below, Nikki is speaking in a high pitched voice because that seems to be what he can hear best.
