Poe (Flashey Dresser): 11/4 - Report card and toy fun!

 Hi again everybody! It's your old pal, Poe, here with a quick story to tell.

But first a fun picture!

Here I am with a new toy I got for Halloween!

She's a witch, and I love snuggling and playing with her.

Did you get report cards as a kid? I got my one month in foster care with Uncle Chris card today and it goes something like this.

  • Eating/weight: A ... I'm a good eater almost all the time and I've gained the weight that UC wanted me to put on so I look really good!
  • Leash Walking: C- ... This is a skill that I'm improving at, but I would prefer a fenced yard to play in instead of going for walks.
  • Playing Toys: A+ ... Just call me a toy monster! I love squeakies and stuffies and all sorts of toys, and though I play hard, I don't destroy them or anything. 
  • Crating at Night: A- ... This is one I've really improved on! As long as I get a cookie when I go in my crate (and maybe a peanut butter Kong, please?), I'll settle down and go to sleep for about 8 hours or so.
  • Alone Training: B ... Alone training is hard, but I'm pretty good at it. The other night Uncle Chris and Auntie Kate went to a movie and left me alone in my crate for 4 hours. They came home and I was sound asleep!

So my GPA is pretty darned good, right? 

I got one other toy for Halloween I thought you might want to see! It's a spooky squeaky ghost!


I skeeked it until the skeeker wore out!

And then there was my costume of the Headless Greyhound...

I love cuddling with this blanket - it's so soft!


Alright - last photo before I have to go. Just me chilling on the dog bed in the kitchen next to my Molecuball toy that gives out kibble when I toss it around. Am I cute, or what??

Too tired to play right now 💤

Obviously it's my naptime now. I can't wait to meet you soon!

Love and Nose Bumps,
Poe
