Daredevil Decker: 9/28 - Too Cool For School

Decker here and I'm have some pretty exciting news.  My foster mom says I am graduating from retirement training and I'm ready for my forever home. I came here a skinny boy who thought he had it all together. Boy was I wrong. I've learn so much about being in a house and having house rules.
I figured I should brag about some of the cool things I can do now.

I've learned that when you walk with pack, you have to stay with the pack. I really didn't see the point of that at first. Now I know I'm still going to see it all, it just takes longer this way. Guess I'll have nothing but time with my family.

I've mastered those darn stairs.  Watch me come around my new foster brother and catch up to him by the time we got to the top. Foster mom declared it a tie but I say I had him by a nose. Maybe a whisker.

I can even ring bells when I want to go outside. Technically I ring the bells so everyone knows I'm going outside. Then they all want to come too.

Foster mom says the best thing I've learned is how to be a good big brother. That's me just chillin in my crate just so I can keep my new friend Woody company.  Woody doesn't say much but I know he likes when I hang out with him and show him the ropes or hang out with him.  I promised him that one day he'll be as fast as me on the stairs and he'll be able to ring the bells on the door and have the middle spot on the pack walk.
For now that's all Me! I've learned a lot and now I'm ready for my forever home. Retirement, here I come!!

Daredevil Decker: 9/25 - Been A Long Time Coming

Decker here and my blog is back in action. I changed foster homes a few weeks ago and my new foster mom has been really busy. She keeps forgetting to tell people about all the stuff I'm learning and how ready I am for my forever home. No worries, I'll take it from here.

Let's start with this handsome face. I'll have you at Hello.

There's more to me than my cute face and happy smile. I've got an excellent palate and I'm a pretty good judge of great food. I simply go into my crate and wait for my food to be served up. I eat nicely and lick the bowl to let the kitchen staff know how much I enjoyed the meal.

I love going for walks and rides. Just grab a leash and I'm ready to go. I'm a little excited at first because I want to meet all of my adoring fans.  Please shower me with hugs and kisses.

Speaking of walks, I'm going to ask foster mom if we can go for one right now. Maybe I can spot a squirrel or a rabbit. Don't worry, I'll be back.

Daredevil Decker - aka - "Decker" . 8/8/18

Decker has arrived in the house and is doing great in foster care.  A bit skinny, he could benefit from some extra calories but it's not surprising when we get new dogs in that they are on the super lean side.  We'll have him gain a few extra pounds in no time.  He's super food motivated and easily takes treats out of our hands so he'll be looking even more handsome in no time.

He is cat safe and really really sweet.  He's gotten along well with both resident hounds and felines.  At first he did not understand the concept of a dog bed but just today he finally settled on one and hasn't moved since.  I think he likes it!!  His new home should have several comfy beds for him to enjoy his retirement sleeping and lounging in!

Decker is a stunning dog, his light fawn color is almost khaki and really a show stopper.  When he raises those ears straight up he will stop folks in their tracks.  He is curious too so he enjoys meeting people.  He seems really mellow but we've only had him a couple of days but he hasn't shown a wild streak and he's settle in as one of the pack with my lazy pups.

He is really food motivated and would probably excel with some basic obedience skills.  He's a smart boy, catches on quickly and would probably love having to use his brain.

Here are a few photos of our first days with him.
