Remy

It has now been over 7 months since Remy came to live with us. We could not have adopted a better dog for our family! Remy brings the right mix of energy and love to our home. He is our first dog so we are all learning together and it has been very exciting. Remy came to us already trained in many behaviors and we have all tried to continue the training and adapt it to our home. He has even learned to ignore our 8 year old cats, Jake and Lilly, some of the time. They are not quite as accepting of Remy as the rest of the family but they become more used to Remy everyday.
Remy's favorite activity is his morning 40 minute walk and we try to take that each day--rain, wind and snow don't seem to bother Remy. He also enjoys fetch, jumping over box lids for treats, and, of course, tug.
We are proud to have adopted Remy and working with LOLIN for the past year has made me realize what wonderful work the organization does.
Thank you again for assisting us in adopting Remy!

Hammering Hank a Special Needs Pup

 

We lost our beloved Georgie the end of August and it is because of our love for Georgie that we sought another LOLIN lab. We were thrilled to think we were adopting one lab but when we visited Foster Fairy Godmother Leslie, Hammering Hank was clearly our special needs lab. He was special and we needed him. He even greeted us at the door! Hank leads a purpose driven life in walking his people and he makes us laugh. He sleeps on our couch on his back with his feet in the air. Hank was listed on LOLIN's adoption page as Hank the Wonder Dog and he indeed is a wonderful dog. Driving home from adopting Hank we saw a rainbow so we are sure that Georgie approves. We can not thank LOLIN enough for all that they do because it is their help that helps to make our family complete. Hanks loves trips in the car, marshmallows and chewies and his new family - Melissa, Sean and kitty siblings MuShoo and Sammy. We are family!

Cooper's Happy Tail

We've had Cooper (formerly Brewster) for almost 8 months now. He settled very quickly and easily into our family. It's hard to imagine this lovable guy ever had it rough. Before coming to LOLIN, he suffered a factored pelvis. Our vet has checked him out and declared him all healed. He loves to go on walks or light runs. You can see the happiness in his face as he looks back at us excitedly as we're making our trek around the neighborhood.

Our two daughters are definitely his best buddies. Cooper's favorite game is "Cooper Tag". The girls run around the yard calling him and he happily chases after them. They all have a blast.

When he's not playing with us he enjoys basking in the sun, trying to steal one of the girls' stuffed animals or chewing on one of his bones. And he still hasn't given up hope that our 9 pound cat will someday become his playmate! I mean, what's not to love?

We lost our last Lab, Millie, last fall. Her death left quite a void in our lives. Cooper has brought us so much happiness. It's hard not to smile when he rolls over to show his belly with what looks like a big goofy grin on his face!

Thanks, LOLIN, for allowing us to adopt Cooper! He is so deserving of his new life. We love him!
