Burnie (Par Burn it Down): 11/6 - Burnie the Explorer


It’s Burnie again, and this is my face! I’m actually pretty hard to take photos of when I’m outside as I don’t really like to stand still. My foster parents say I’m a curious hound who likes to explore!


I got to explore the pet shop and sniff all the stuff in there. I was on my best behavior until I spotted a big bag of food and tried to chew through the packaging. Explorers gotta explore!


Even though I’m a good explorer I’m still working on my confidence. Sometimes I’ll stop like a statue if I hear a noise I don’t like. Going for walks at night is fine but maybe a little scary. I’m a little more cautious and don’t pull on the leash as much.


I think my perfect forever family will be happy to let me go exploring, but also be confident enough to guide me though some of the strange and scary things out there! Oh, and most importantly, let me sleep it all off at the end of the day! 💤
