MR. CHIPS - Moved to Peach & Daisy's

 

Ever see that classic movie "Goodbye Mr. Chips"? Well one of the newest residents at the Lodges is a lot like the shy and unassuming British professor from the movie. In fact if you look at his picture, he even has that "British professor" kind of look, don't you think? Mr. Chips recently moved over from Peach and Daisy's with his best friend and lady love Cinderella .

Just like the character in the movie, Mr. Chips can take a little time to warm up to new humans, but don't let that keep you from stopping by to take him out for a walk. One of his caregivers will gladly leash him up for you ( Mr. Chips kind of likes the idea of having a "dresser" as do many prominent stage actors) and off you'll go for an in depth nosy exploration of the territory. He loves to sniff and poke around and show you the path. He's not one for a lot of petting, but just loves to be with you and enjoy the exercise.

His fondness for soft squeaky toys knows no bounds. He'll happily take the toy from your hand and disappear into his doghouse where he humanely disassembles it............rapidly! And then out he comes again for another toy. He's doing his part to stop the global overpopulation of squeaky toys. Thanks Mr. Chips, we were all worried about that.

Mr. Chips gets lonely when his best friend Cinderella goes out on a walk without him, so maybe bring a friend when you volunteer and take the two out together. They're just the cutest couple.

Jeanne you and Robin, I have no doubt have a "Aura: (SP) aroudn you that dogs can see, they can sopt you two from a mile away and know , just know that you 2 are their kind of people!! :):)
I think that is the highest form of complment from a from a fur baby!! You two do so much good, for those lucky souls that get your attention and I KNOW you try and spread it out the best you can!!!!
All I can think of is when you and Robins time comes.... some time in the very very distant future, and you meet all those you have helped at the rainbow bridge I can only think that the line waiting to thank you will be very very long!!!!!!!! :)
Thank you for being who you are to so many!!!!!!!
Hugs to you!!

Robin and I take Chips and "rella" out on walks about three times a week. What an adorable couple! They love their walks, and they LOVE going to the dog park on Sundays. Chips is VERY affectionate, and often on his walks, he'll jump up and lick your hand. We are planning on taking Chips and his gal on an outing this week. Another couple of dogs we have fallen in love with....

I believe that would qualify as a double date. Looking forward to the stories of your afternoon out.

As Jeanne had the day off, I grabbed a visitor and we took off with Chips and 'Rella. The lady with me had shy Cinderella, who started off trying to walk behind me to hide a bit. Made for a few tangled leads, but she soon came out. Mr. Chips I remember from long ago, and we got caught up on all that's happened since.

So handsome!!!

So happy that you and the other wonderful volunteer took up the effort to keep these babies happy! Thanks Gerry! Bet all of the updates were really fun and interesting!

Read about Mr. Chips double-date with Cinderella.

"Oh, is that little reindeer hoofies I hear? Santa, is that you?"


"I've been good. Don't I look handsome in my red bandana?"


"Oh, for me???"


"Hugs are the best gifts!"


"Thanks Santa, it's perfect!"

This past weekend I had the pleasure of taking Mr. Chips out on a walk along with Cindy. He was a lot of fun, and at one point we saw a couple of deer bounding across the path in front of us. Mr. Chips went nuts of course and tried to follow them. It took a good 5 minutes to calm him down enough to finish the walk. :D

Here's a picture of Mr. Chips along with his faithful companion Cinderella. This was just after Chips had spotted the deer and I was still getting him to calm down a bit.

I'm linking the image because it's a bit big and I don't want to break the board. :)

Guess what?  I visited the Lodges yesterday, and I learned that Mr. Chips and Cinderella have moved to Peaches and Daisy!  And guess who is now in their run?  China!  I love China.  I remember when she was at Amra's.  Welcome, China! (I love the fact that Lodges is getting so many pitties.  There's Debo and Jager and Scratch and China and..lots more!)  Is Jager posted on the Lodges site? Maybe I've missed her.  She's a sweetie, just like China!
