Our new little girl Kyra (renamed
from Roxie) came home today. She is so good and so smart. She ran and played. She walked and met
the Golden Retriever three house down. She met the gardener and explored the big backyard and the whole house less the basement.
She is learning to be careful on stairs. She sits on command, lies down,
and loves baby organic carrots.
Attached are two pictures which capture her first day in her new home.
Thank you for all your assistance in bringing us together.
Sincerely,
Joe

Hi Guys! Just wanted to tell you that Rob, whom we've renamed to
Nester, is doing great! He took less than 3 hours to get used to us, get used to the size of the house, and fall in
love with our dog, Lily. I've attached a picture as proof--we can't believe it either! Everything is
wonderful and Nester is flawless. Still super cuddly and sweet and
very playful and energetic. We couldn't be happier! He is the undeniable King
of the House!
Thank you again so so much!
Love,
Maria, Ken, and Lily

September 22 - Lexie
and Dexter are perfect. Lexie is a love. She follows me around, loves people and is very active and vocal. She has been
sleeping in our room. Dexter is also a love. He loves his walks, but generally finds a comfy spot and snoozes most of
the day. My children are absolutely in love and the dogs really seem to enjoy their endless attention. We are still working on how they get along with Stitch. Everything is fine, but Stitch is huge and
doesn't really understand space. They are fine as long as Stitch minds his manners. To a certain extent, we need to let them
alone and establish their pecking order once and for all. But we are relieved to see that none of them seem to be aggressive
and have only seen the occasional growl. Please feel free to pass along any advice. We have been keeping them separate when
we leave the house, but try to keep them together as much as possible when we are around. We walk Lexie and Stitch together
on leashes. But Dexter is too petrified to walk next to Stitch. Thanks for
checking in. All is well and I think Lexie and Dexter are happy with their new home.

The goats are doing wonderfully and they look great. Their weight is good,
their coats are looking fabulous, and they are getting accustomed to life as "civilized" goats. We are still working
on leading and allowing feet to be picked up and trimmed, but they've got the rules down now. Clara Bell really enjoys
getting petted and brushed. She's very sweet. Oliver still only wants to talk to you when you have food.
All around, I think their progress has been GREAT! And they are doing a remarkable job clearing brush for me. They have
really wokred out well for me and I wanted to thank MHF for allowing me to adopt them. - Karen

Dear wonderful Folks @ MHF,
Just a quick update to tell you all that Bojangles, now Beau (to show
off his french roots) is settling in wonderfully. He seems to get along with everyone and has taken to indoor house
life with gusto! He is learning all about stairs, car rides and dog toys. I am actually teaching him how to play.
We have mastered sit also and hope to excel at lie down real soon. He also has discovered that he can sneak up onto my bed when I am asleep and curl right up and join me. You
were all correct in saying that he is a very special dog, I am so pleased with his progress and what joy he is bringing
me. My other dog is teaching him who is the boss and they have reached a peace-filled accord. We are all hoping that
the cat follows suit ( right now all hisses and avoidance). Once again I'd like to thank you all for all the good work
that you do and for saving this very special guy. Sincerely, Debi

Hello Middleburg Humane! Just thought I'd drop you a line to say
that "Buddy" is doing wonderfully! I think we're going
to call him "Theodore", "Teddy" for short (in sticking with the presidents theme that we started with Reagan). He came home,
met the girls, then we all went on a walk in the park. He just wants to play! And the walk wore him out, so here is a picture
of him and our 12 year old, usually aggressive dog.
He's a love! Thank you so much! Allison and Brenda

I just wanted to say hi and let you know that Charlie is doing GREAT!
He is such a happy lovable little guy!! I love taking him for walks and car rides, he loves being out around other people
and truly is a great companion! Charlie and my other dog Moe, which I rescued off of petfinder a few years ago are inseparable
at this point!!!

Last summer a volunteer brought a very special kitten named "Chip" to the Veterinary Surgical Referral
Practice where I work as a Licensed Veterinary Technician. "Chip" bounded out of his crate and it was love at first
sight for me. Despite having been born with a very large abdominal hernia, he was a happy and affectionate guy.
It actually took three surgeries to correct his extensive issues, and through it all he stayed happy and loving. He
never held a grudge about all the medical intrusions he had to endure.
I adopted him and took him home after the first surgery. He has been an important part of my household
since then. His new name is "Flyball" after a super intelligent cat hero from a 1950s kids book. I also do flyball
with my dogs so the name seemed appropriate.
"Flyball" has never met a person or animal that he didn't want to be friends with. He has many dog
friends, including my 3 dogs and a toy poodle that he has play dates with at the clinic. I think he thinks he is a dog!
He is super smart and makes me laugh every day.
I'm actually very grateful that "Flyball" had to come to our clinic that first day. Because otherwise
I might never have met this very special bobtail cat. I'm also very thankful to the Middleburg Humane Foundation for
saving his life and giving him a chance to live a long, happy life.

Oliver is doing well at his new home,
The Goodstone Inn. As you can see from the picture, he has new
friends and rather enjoys their suckling of his tummy!
