Important: Name Change from Marley to Marilinda
Please note that Foster Marley has gone through a name change. The Espey pack now calls her “Marilinda” (formal name) or "Mari" for short. She has also gone through a bit of a personality change from reticent to standing her own ground. We think that perhaps Letta and Foster Olivia have something to do with that.
Angel!
The Italian Greyhound Rescue van picked up Angel today. JayJ was on hand as Iggy ambassador, calming down little Angel and showing her where the best spots were for doing her business. She is with Heather, Iggy Ellie May, Iggy Ruthie and their certified service dog, an Akida, as a Foster now. Heather had made chicken during the day and had saved the broth and some chicken bits which would be used as a topper for kibble for dinner tonight. Yum!

The Alice Espey Pack (Letta, Maddie and Fosters Olivia and Marley)
This Pack can be seen out on walks and at meetups.
Permanent Ig Letta is doing a little better. She lost her good friend Bertie a month ago and has been sad and is not particularly impressed with the Fosters.
Permanent Ig Maddie says hello and wants you to know that she would like to escape from wherever you put her.
Foster Olivia now has her cast off. She jumps around on 3 legs at times because the broken leg simply became a ghost to her. Rambunctious, she has learned how to express her love calmly but always looks a little like a pressure cooker. There is nothing that she wants more to do than to hug you and lick your face.
New Foster Marley is a beautiful red fawn girl who was taught to dance. Marley can also shake hands. Marley learned both of these skills in her earlier home. She is a little hand shy so Alice works with her on that.

All Iggy Alert: Vashon Island Meetup on Saturday, October 1
The Briskmans are hosting another Vashon Island Meetup on Saturday, October 1. Iggys, make sure your humans add that to their calendars. Details to follow!
New Meet Up Site at NOAH
Many iggys attended the August Meetup at the NOAH site in Stanwood, hosted by human Arthur Ebert. The offleash dogpark area is exceptional. We’ll certainly be looking forward to more meet ups there.

Linus & Lusi
Ask either Lusi or Linus how their Forever Home life is and you will hear that they have hit the mother lode. They live in a beautiful home with two lovely sphinx cats who remind them a bit of themselves.
They both had original human families whose schedules had changed to the point where there was not enough time for the best care of an italian greyhound. As sad as each home was to turn their Ig over to Rescue, they thought about what was best for the Iggy and called Rescue.
Lusi, an extremely beautiful white Italian Greyhound, arrived in her Forever Home first and although the food was great and she was doing well, she seemed sad at times. When Linus arrived several months later, Lusi perked right up and taught him the ropes.
Linus is a funny little guy who causes a bit of trouble every once in awhile. He was sentenced to a belly band for some of this trouble, but he doesn’t mind because everything else is going so great. He tends to dive off of the back of the couch when the cats have finished their meals and licks clean the bowls. He knows whatever is left in a bowl will be delicious and nutritious because his human father makes pet food from scratch.
Both Lusi and Linus are very well-dressed. Their human mother designs and sews italian greyhound coats that are, by the way, available for purchase. Linus models one of the coats below. What a handsome guy! And what a great coat!
