This Saturday we all take the big boat to a fenced backyard on Vashon Island. About 20 iggies, at last count, will run run run, seeing old friends, making new friends, and stealing food from the table. JayJ, an iggy Rescue representative, had a manicure at Northeast Vet today so that he would look as handsome as possible for the upcoming gala. He and Blaze, an iggy who bounds through the dog park with a green cigar in his mouth, are planning their tricks and going over the menu.They will safely ride in crates in the back of a Highlander, plotting and planning and remembering other tables they swiped food from.
The Vashon Island iggies are doing well. Mia wintered in Arizona and we will hear how it is to see the sun in November and if the accommodations are to her liking. Emerson, rescued from a home where he was left outside, has warmed up now that he stays inside on cold days or is tucked into one of his beautiful new coats before the door opens. Blue, a favorite with Rescue, will be formally adopted on Saturday by our Vashon Island hosts.
We don’t know if Bertie will come. He’s a little older and not amused by the bouncy, leaping antics of the younger generation. We hope that Gino will come and that Gino and JayJ don’t get into the political argument that caused so much trouble at Thanksgiving. Emerson’s mother Gigi is coming as is Emerson’s sister, Izzy, who came into Rescue a couple of months ago. Millie and Mouse are coming and introducing us to their foster Romey, who came into Rescue a couple of months ago. Calvin, Tess and Lucy are coming. You know, Lucy was to be fostered in her current *permanent* home, but she took to helping out with Tess, who had a difficult puppyhood, and Lucy became a permanent part of the family.
Stay tuned for news of the meetup!
