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

Siberian (Mega Siberian): 1/12 - Retirement is Fun!

Hi Friends! I love retirement. I've learned so much during my first week in foster care. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. Foster Mom says I'm tall and handsome; I don't disagree with her! Look at how good I look in my plaid coat! But, I don't mean to digress. I know you want to see past my good looks. I have to tell you, I LOVE people. I give Foster Mom kisses every chance I get, and her boyfriend is also so much fun to follow. They both tell me I'm such a good boy. So many GEGR volunteers also told Foster Mom that I have a sweet personality when she came to meet me after my arrival. I also LOVE to play. And, while I'm pretty independent, I do LOVE to hang out with Foster Mom's pups. So, if you have bigger dogs to play with at my new forever home, I'll be so excited!


When I first arrived, I had to learn a few lessons quickly. One, don't pee on anything unless I really have to go. So, that meant wearing a belly band for a few days. I'm doing much better now. They're a bit uncomfortable, so I showed Foster Mom she can trust me a bit more when I started pulling them off or pulling out the stuffing! Next, don't take food from the counter or go into the garbage. I learned quickly that those are not good behaviors. Oh, I also learned not to take food off dinner plates. I just wanted to share, but I guess it's not polite to run off with someone else's food. I know these are the rules, but you'll have to remind me when you bring me to my forever home. 

One of my favorite things to do is take walks. Foster Mom walks me often, and I've learned how to walk next to her dog, and I'm working on resisting my urge to pull when I see something exciting. But ducks are pretty exciting!
