Everette (Finish Him): 2/28 - Headshots

FoDad says it’s time for headshots. I’m not sure what that means or why but he keeps putting his phone in my face. Oh well - these are good of me don’t you think?








Dresser (Flashey Dresser): 2/22 - Handsome Pic!


Hi! Dresser here again! Just me chillin'. My Fo Mom is always telling me what a handsome boy I am! 

Everette (Finish Him): 2/21 - Cinnamon Roll?

Is that a cinnamon roll or me? It’s me!  It’s been so chilly outside, I like to sleep comfy and cozy cinnamon roll style. 




Dresser (Flashey Dresser): 2/21 - At Home with Virtual School and Work






Helping my Fo sister with her homework! I am a BIG help!! 





Now I am in the basement office keeping my Fo brother warm and my Fo dad company. 
When there is only one dog pillow in the basement.... you share with your Fo brother!! 

Clay (L Clay): 2/20 - Study Buddy

I can help you study, Foster Mom!
 Whatchu studying?!?

Well, now I’m studying the top of your head, dude.


 

Everette (Finish Him): 2/16 - Wintry Weather

 It’s been very cold and I’m not a huge fan of the ice and snow. 


The FoDads decided that since we’ve had so much of this and still plan to get more that I should have my very own coat instead of Esme’s hand-me-downs.  I think I look rather stylish, don’t you? FoDads say it’s mine to keep when I go to my forever family.  


But I still say the best way to beat this wintry weather and cold is to snuggle up in front of the fireplace



Everette (Finish Him): 2/13 - All Holidays in One

Ok, so I woke up today and told my FoDads that I didn’t get to celebrate the holidays on the track. I gave them sweet eyes because that’s what I do. 

To make up for it we had a celebration of all the holidays. I started with Halloween this morning and found a jack o lantern toy to squeak. It wasn’t the Great Pumpkin but it was still good fun.  

Then I skipped Thanksgiving and went for a double dose of Christmas with not one but two holiday Lamb Chops.  



I can’t wait to see what they get me for Valentine’s Day this weekend!


Glory (Lotta Glory): 2/13 - Secret

Wanna know a secret?
I LOVE playing in the snow, but my ultimate favorite thing is cuddling up in the warmth with my people and my foster siblings. 





I love being close and cozy!
Have a glorious snow day!
✨ Glory ✨ 

Everette (Finish Him): 2/12 - Work Meeting Enlightenments

I hung out with FoDad for all his work meetings yesterday. They were rather dull; no one even used a squeaky toy, not even once. 

But something good did come of this. I learned that rhinos make the best pillows. 



Everette (Finish Him): 2/10 - Birthday Fun

The Fo-dads have beds in nearly every room for us, but I’ve found it’s just too much work, and I like to plop down on the rugs near the door. This way, I can monitor everything going on in and out, plus get some sun. 

It was my Fo-da’s birthday yesterday, so I wanted to show him I care. I gave him a card, but I took a fluffy yellow blanket in the evening and pulled it to lay next to him while he was on the sofa. 



And then they’ve been trying to have me walk upstairs. I’ve not wanted to, but I gave him a surprise belated birthday present by going up to the bedroom with him this morning. I am so good I’m just a blur in the picture and he seemed really happy for this gift (it’s nice to give back). 





Tazz (Abington): 2/10 - Brotherly Love


 Tazz, here. That's me behind the cow dog.  I really love my foster brother!

Wolf (Arkan's Wolverine): 2/10 - The Bestest Buddy

Today we must talk about why Foster Mom thinks I'm the most bestest boy ever, and why my forever family will think so, too! 

I will adore you. I will stare lovingly at you from the floor because I know I'm not allowed on the couch. I will still love you. I want so desperately on the couch. But I listen.


I will cherish your gifts, and keep them with me always. Especially if they are squeaky. I will squeak them often to ensure you know I am truly grateful.


I will join in on our family Zoom calls and provide all the entertainment.
I will brave the cold weather and designer Greyhound wear for photo ops in the snow. Bonus...I actually LOVE the snow!

I will love any and all adventures with you. Walks are the best! Take me everywhere!

I will learn our routine quickly and stick to it like glue! No late meal times please, but I will remind you.

I will do anything for cookies. Anything. I mean it.

I will give you so many kisses and snuggles, your heart may burst.

I will make you laugh 1,000 times a day with my silly antics.

Finally, I will share my burrito with you, because that means love.


All I ask in return is that you love me back. And scratch my belly at least 800 times a day.
And...please send Foster Mom lots and lots of pictures. She's gonna miss me so very, very, very much.

With so many kisses,
Your future snuggle monster, Wolfie ❤



Luz (Centex Luz): 2/9 - Tongue Out Tuesday!

Hey, again! It's me, Luz.

I just wanted to wish you all a happy tongue out Tuesday.


My favorite day of the week!

-Luz


Siberian (Mega Siberian): 2/ 8 - My Snowy Week

 Hi Friends! I'm so excited to tell you a few things: 

1. I recovered beautifully from my neuter procedure!

2. I've been bellyband free for two weeks! (Just remember: you'll have to show me what you expect at your house.)

3. I saw snow, and I'm not really excited about it...unless someone plays with me!


So, about the snow. I wasn't too excited about it last week. I'm just glad I could wear my coat! Today, it snowed again! This time, Foster Mom put her boots on and ran around the yard to see if she could get me to follow. Because I LOVE people, this was not hard. Soon, I was running around the yard with her! Doesn't that sound like fun? I forgot about the snow as soon as we started to play!

Even though the weather wasn't great this week, I did get out to take a few walkings with Foster Mom and Tilly. I love to keep pace with them. Foster Mom still keeps me on a short leash, but I don't mind. She can tell when I have to make a pit stop. Then, she lets a little more of the leash free, so I can take care of business. 


Foster Mom wants me to mention that I'm so good while she's working from home. I just love to keep her company. Have I mentioned I LOVE people? I don't make too much noise while she's working; I'm very happy to snooze. She also wants me to add that I behave so well in my crate when she works outside the home. I just nap and wait for her to come home. 

I also love to snooze in the afternoon sunshine, and so do my foster sisters. We all compete for the same rays of sunshine, but I really enjoy spending time with those girls, so it's fun! That's me on the right in this next picture!


I can't wait to say hello to you soon! 

XOXO, 

Siberian

Everett (Finish Him) - 2/8: Cuddles and Cookies

It was a good day yesterday. My fo-papa baked me and my FoBro and sis some homemade cookies. They had oats and peanut butter and chicken bone broth, and they were incredibly yummy.  In thanks, I gave my fo-dads some loving by bending my head to rest on their knees (I was thankful, but I love to show my affection this way regardless).  





Dresser (Flashey Dresser): 2/7- Posing with My Fo Sis






Whew... dog modeling is tiring!! Now it’s time for me to rest! 
Until next time!
