Norman: 1/11 - Let Me Tell Ya Bout My Best Friend

Norman here and I just want to tell you about my best friend, my ace, my ride or die.  I'm not sure what half of those even mean but that's how FM describes me and Orson.  We've been best buds since he showed up here.
We do everything together.
We love going for car rides to anywhere.  We're always ready to go.

We go to weigh ins at the vet together. I'm the leaner and Orson is the strong silent type. Folks just love us.

We go for walks together. I check all the high places and my buddy checks out the low.

This is one of our favorite things. When we go for a long walk, we get to watch some really odd looking animals. They make strange noises and smell funny.  FM lets us watch them as long as we don't bark at them.

I just love sleeping with Orson.  He lets me share his bed and snuggle with him every night.  FM says it's a bit obsessive but we're best buds. She just doesn't get it.

I will miss Orson when he gets his furever home.  FM says I'm such an easy going guy that I'll make new friends.  I sure hope she's right.

Black Fog (Fog): Loving Retirement

Hi Friends!

Foster mom brought me home to celebrate the new year with her and her three dogs! I had no idea what to expect, but I found the best bed ever 20 minutes after I arrived at the house. My foster mom said she knew right away that I was so smart! She said she loved that I looked at the very handsome dog in the glass and admired him every chance I had when I first arrived in Lusby with my hound friends.

I started learning how to be foster mom's "best boy" as soon as I arrived. The first morning I was here, she took me for a long walk to see if I had manners on lead. Well, she said I had a few things to learn. The next day, she took me for a walk with her other Greyhound, and he showed me how to walk with manners on lead. I do much better now, but foster mom says I still need to be on a short lead.

I'll fill you in on more of my adventures next time!

XOXO,

Fog

Dare: 1/10 - roaches!

There’s a Greyt big roach in my house!

I’m going to need a GIANT swatter!!

Orson: 1/10 - Love My Vet

All my pup friends say going to the vet is a bad thing.  That's not true. I love going to my vet. FM takes us boys there a lot and it's always fun.

FM takes us by the vet's office to use the scale.  She wants to make sure we're gaining weight. Well each time we go in, everyone stops to come say high to us.

I give lots of kisses and they give me lots of pets.

I think she loves us. 

There's even fun stuff to do outside.  FM let's us look at those interesting looking animals that live beside the vets office.

I hope my furever family has a really cool vet that will take good care of me and give me lots of loving.

Orson: 1/8 - Carried Away

Sooo I have a confession.  I've been spending all of my time loving retirement.  I've been eating and sleeping and hanging out with my friends.  It's been great. And then it happened.

FM said I needed to sit up and pay attention.

Ok FM, I'm all ears. What's this all about?

FM told me that I need to stop rolling around on beds and get serious about finding my forever home. She said all of you want to know what I've been doing and learning.  You want to know if I've mastered living in a home. I promise you I have.

I know all about the house. I know that dog beds are for us pups.  I still have dreams of getting on the sofa one day though.  I'm not at all afraid of shinny floors or stairs.  I do my business outside and can hold my pee for close to 7 hours. I don't eat off the counters. I wait nicely for my food and eat nice and slow.

I love going for walks with my friends. I like car rides too. I can jump in and out of the car by myself. I love meeting people and kids and I'm very gentle.

I'm learning how to wait at doors. I learning to sit but I can only do it a few times.  FM is teaching a trick called watch me. I'm getting pretty go at it.

So you see I really haven't been slacking off like FM says. I've learned a lot. She says it doesn't count though if I don't tell everyone.

I'll be sure to fix that. I have lots more to tell you.
