Peeps
Peeps is just over a year old! She joined the HOPE Program this month and she’s doing great! We are working on her basic obedience skills, as well as teaching her that a crate isn’t so bad after all. She loves other dogs, but does better with male dogs that are larger than her. She wouldn’t be a good fit for a home with cats or other small critters though.
People often comment on her short tail, but she had to have part of it amputated after she spent time in a kennel and she developed "happy tail" from wagging and hitting the sides of her kennel. Unfortunately, it wasn't healing after she moved to a foster home, so to prevent infection or her chewing on it, the decision was made to remove part of it. She's just as happy as can be though and she still wags her short little tail when she's happy, which is often.
She's available for adoption through the Central Pennsylvania Animal Alliance. Her adoption fee is $300.

I learned something new about Peeps this week. Thunderstorms & Peeps don’t mesh. The thunder was loud and she wanted nothing to do with the inside of her crate. The minute I crack the crate she jumped right in the bed with me shaking, curled up. All I could do was comfort her and keep assuring her that she is safe. I put some music on hoping that it will calm her. I look over after a while she is knocked out cold, me going against everything, I let her stay there of course, but the second time it stormed, I put the music on and filled her Kong, putting her in the crate. All good!!!

Peeps’ week was pretty quiet – you could pretty much tell she was missing Devin’s play run, run, run, but without question she got it in. Night time is always her time. She looks forward to it, everybody is in. She just gets the zoomies; it’s hilarious to watch. Then it’s peanut butter time, something she enjoys. I just love her interaction with the men and staff, especially after a day of chaos. The absolute JOY she brings is amazing.

Peeps had a beautiful week. Her and Devin got their chances of burning the run ways up before Devin’s departure. Peeps LOVES to be chased then flips it and wants to chase. She misses that with the little fellow. She still gets her full body workout with Wyatt. Peeps is just a ball of joy and so full of life. She absolutely loves the people for sure and loves entertaining. I give it to her – when it’s time to chill, she’s all pro. She just wants to lay next to you and cuddle. Her spoiled butt!

Peeps went out this week and she got her nails did, looking beautiful as ever. I guess it was some work for her because she came back exhausted, she gave me a look like... give me a couple hours. Once she rested it was all business, game on with Wyatt then with little Devin. She’s an animal with Wyatt but Devin she’s a sweetheart to. Peeps enjoys her playtime for sure, whether it’s with the dogs, playing tug with you or just that physical contact – she’s in love with it.

Peeps has started this new thing with me every morning now. When she wakes up she starts to tug at my blanket wanting me to get up with her. I tried to ignore her but she don’t let me, so me being me I give in. Pops the crate she just jumps on me wanting to play first thing in the morning. So for 10 min she’s active then frog legs it on the bed wanting to lay back down. Yeah I’m a sucker, I know she’s something... and a JOY to have.

Peeps has dealt with a couple situations outside our control that spooked her to the point of having the shakes. The one time I found myself in the crate with her comforting her, talking with her. After about a half hour she was calm and back to being Peeps wanting to wrestle with me. Peeps and Devin actually ran around, played with one another. Peeps is gentle with Devin – it's almost like she knows how so much stronger she is over him. Devin for sure takes advantage of her softness, and I'm sure he appreciates it too. Wyatt and Delaney cannot keep up with Peeps. Her energy level is unmatched. They both have the look on their faces like, "Help me please!" She's just a bundle of JOY and she demands to be loved.

Peeps' week was awesome. Her and Wyatt’s playtime is something for the ages. She doesn't let Wyatt up for air. She is a constant go-go-go. She finally ran and played with Delaney. The roles are reversed. When Delaney was doing to Devin, now Peeps is doing to Delaney. The way they played was almost like they grew up together. The beauty is watching Peeps, Devin, and Delaney in a yard together given Delaney just watches Devin and Peeps play. Peeps was all over Devin when he got his haircut. She thought he had on some Axe body wash, LOL. Peeps is really doing well and settling… she can be stubborn when she wants, but it's nothing compared to something.

Having Peeps now for a week has been nothing short of entertaining. It literally look her a half day to know that I was her dude. She still shows her nervousness walking through the doors or when she hears someone banging on something. She was an instant hit with Wyatt! She's running and playing with him to the ground like she has gas for days. When she gets her legs going everyone is in trouble! She loves meeting people, not the loud ones. She for sure loves that physical play with you and she listens. Peeps is all fun and the joy she brings to people already is absolutely amazing to see. Oh yea, did I mention she’s attached already?! LOL
