Kong likes summer


Kong here! I’ve been working on ‘dog things’ like chasing a ball around the yard and going for hikes.  It’s been warm recently so I’ve been happy to have long naps in between activities. I still need to remind myself about putting my tongue back in my mouth : /


I’ve been with my foster family for over a month now and I’m gradually coming out of my shell. I can be a little silly, and sometimes I pick up my foster parents shoes, give them a shake and throw them across the room. I also ‘help’ in the kitchen by lying flat like a log so everyone needs to carefully step around me. I also put my entire head in the freezer once to see what was in there. 


The most important thing for you to know about me is that I’m a fairly reserved boy and even a little shy. My foster parents say that’s what makes me so sweet and lovable! When you first meet me I might not seem super excited, but that’s just me being a little introverted. Once you get to know me you’ll see I’m the perfect big buddy!
