We are now known as Shogun and Daphne Louise Parker (nicknamed Daffy Lou) and living the good life in retirement. We travel “Daffy Lou” in style in the family’s Airstream motor home on trips to Gualala (Google it) to run on the beaches and visit Hazard (a yellow Lab), Chichi and Javier (Chihuahuas, naturally) and the Parkers’ grandson and his parents. The rest of our time is spent sleeping in the master bedroom, minding the backyard squirrels, going on occasional walks and accompanying our parents to watch them take obedience classes at the local PetSmart. They’re well trained, with the occasional lapse, but can be very funny. Life is good. Squirrel?” Oh, and Lew said that Shogun chewed up his credit cards, which he said was “Shogun” probably a good thing. Lancaster. They decided from the minute they saw his picture on Facebook that he was the dog they wanted to adopt. In fact, when they came to pick him up, he was the only one they wished to see. Not that this is uncommon, it’s just that Hardy was never going to be a beauty contest winner, except in terms of his “Harvey” beautiful soul. Shana says “Harvey (his new name) was very easy to housetrain and he loves the kids.” CASPER waited quite a few months to live in a home environment, and technically he is still available, but he has been fostered since January 15 by Missy Atkins of Carefree, AZ. She had earlier lost a loved albino Doberman, so she has a fondness for them and understands their needs. We hope this may become a “failed foster!” PRESTON, “Casper” WE HAVE FUN ON SATURDAYS our funny, scruffy little Terrier mix, was adopted by Velia and Mike Bowers of Chalfant Valley. His new name is Ricochet, and he endeared himself to everyone instantly except the cat, Miss Kitty, who took a few days to decide. From Velia’s recent e-mail: “Words cannot express how he fits into our family. He is loved by all and he loves all of us. I went “Ricochet” (the black out of town for 2 days and when I returned he almost terrier) and his new friends went inside out he was so excited to see me.” during openhouse adoptions HARDY, who spent over a year waiting for the home he so truly deserved, was adopted by Shana and Aaron Schwehr of 2 WAITING FOR HOMES she's she's housebroken housebroken and and tolerant tolerant of of other other dogs dogs and and kids. kids.
