Hi Friends! I'm MJ, and I've been working hard at learning how to be "retired." Shortly after I arrived in Maryland, my foster mom (FOMA) took me home, and I met her dogs! I was so eager to make new friends. I made sure I wagged my tail and did all the appropriate sniffing. Shortly after we met, FOMA said I had to learn how to go up and down stairs. At first, I was worried about going up the stairs, but I didn't want to be downstairs by myself, so I got brave, and up I went. FOMA clapped and told me I was a good boy. Going down stairs was kinda scary, but FOMA made sure I saw treats waiting, and she talked me into taking it one step at a time!

Since I'm so used to having a regular routine, I had no trouble adjusting to FOMA's work schedule and being crated. In fact, I love my crate. Anyhow, I sleep in my crate whenever she's not home. She leaves music on for me and her pups, so that's also relaxing. 

You know what I don't love? FOMA's Roomba. That thing really scares me. I hope it's okay if I hide from the vacuum in my new home. I go to the shower or my crate when that thing starts! My FOMA's got to figure out how to add pictures, so she can show you how cute I look hiding in the shower!

In the meantime, I'm going to keep working on how to be someone's BEST BOY! ❤️

We'll chat again soon!
