Hi everyone! I'm Volanda Olvera. I just got to Maryland from Birmingham, Alabama, and it was a long trip! I'm very glad to be resting now. I'm a pretty good rester, and I have already figured out dog beds.
I

was a little nervous this morning when I was getting my bath and grooming, but by the time we got to my foster home, I was rested up and ready for anything. I met my foster brother, Mr. G, right away, and I think we're going to be friends. There was something that my foster mom, L, called snain (snow/hail) coming down when we went for a walk, but I didn't mind it.
I really wanted to meet the other dogs on the bike path and the squirrels, but L said we have to wait for that. (I'm not sure she'll ever let me meet the squirrels.) Even though the weather was bad, we saw some bicyclists and walkers, but I wasn't scared at all, even when the bikes were close to us.

Once we got home, I explored the whole house, including the bathtub, which made L laugh. I don't know why. I also met Miss Thing, who L says is a cat. I'm a little afraid of her, so I just let her sniff me until she goes away. Now I've had a busy day, and I'm tired, so I'm going to take a nap. I'll write more soon!

P.S. L says I should tell you that I rode in the car like a champ, and she would pick me for a road trip companion any time.
