Lisa (PJ Pinkies Up): 2/17 - Weekend fun!

Hi There! I just thought
I'd pop in with a little pupdate!

I've been doing really well at my foster home, but it was kind of a crummy week because of all the rain we were getting. Sitting inside may be no fun, but walking in the rain is definitely no fun. I toughed it out, but in case you were considering a walk in the rain, I do not recommend it. 

All in all, the weekend has been much better. My foster family took me on a little drive to Colonial Williamsburg. We went for a nice, long walk. There was even this street called Duke of Gloucester (DOG) Street!  Speaking of dogs, there were a lot around. And people, too. They even had horses! There was lots to see and, of course, smell! Lots of old buildings and history. Who knew walks could be so educational!?




Once we got home, I was so exhausted I had what the humans call a "bed fail". 
What can I say, it's hard being a tired pup. 


After dinner, I got it all figured out: 
Bed ✅
Blankie ✅
Stuffie ✅
Sleepy Time 😴



Until next time, 
-Lisa 🐾


Rant (Atascocita Rant): 2/14 - Will you be my Valentine?

Hi there! It's me, Rant! I'm here to ask you a very important question: will you please be my valentine?? I just love to snuggle. I can't get enough. And I am so excited to cuddle with my forever home! 💓


Rant (Atascocita Rant): 2/10 - Treats please!

Hi there! Rant here!

I am so lucky to get to cuddle with foster mom and foster sister, Selene, all the time! I cannot wait to cuddle with my forever family!!! (My tail is wagging just thinking about it.)

Can I have a cuddle, please??
Foster sister, Selene, taught me that if we go to the pet store and look really cute, we get free treats!!!! We tried to go first thing Sunday morning, but foster mom wouldn't let us in!! She said something about the store being "closed."Am I not cute enough or something?

Do you know which one I am??
Luckily, she took us back later and we got our fix! I guess I am cute enough after all!

I can't wait to receive treats and cuddles from my forever family!!! 😄

Charley (Charley Cheswick): 2/7 - Snoot



Hey everyone, I just wanted to stop by and say how EXCITED I am about my trip to Lusby tomorrow.  I got my nails done and everything.  I was a good boy and got kisses on my snoot and some treats.  Treats are the best!  
My fur is getting shinier and foster mom says I’m filling out and getting more handsome every day but I told her I’m already pretty good looking.
I really hope someone picks me tomorrow!


Lisa (PJ Pinkies Up): 2/7 - Cute & loveable

What's that you say? Adoptathon time!?
I'm all ears!
Hello Friends! It's me, Lisa. Here are some photos my foster mom has been taking over the past few days of me being my cute, lovable self. Enjoy!

Did you know I have the cutest sit?
But sometimes I sit like this.
I eat my meals from my raised feeder. As a bonus, I know
how to wait patiently on my bed until my foster parents tell
me it's time to go eat.  
Have I told you I LOVE toys?
The squeakier the better!
I've recently discovered my foster brother's
bed is nicer than mine...and that I can take
it from him!
Foster mom thought our ears looked cute...
she calls these question mark ears because
they usually appear when I get curious about stuff.
We're both learning to share...I say, I'll do whatever it takes to
get a snack!
Are these what they call "puppy dog eyes"?
Anyway, that's all for now.

Charley (Charley Cheswick): 2/6 - Charley the Great

Hey everyone, did you miss me?  Life isn’t super exciting around here, I’ve just been chilling with my foster sisters and brother and the humans.  It’s was REALLY rainy today but grandma said we had to go outside to pee anyways.  I didn’t really mind though, I like to just go with the flow.
I discovered carrots, why didn’t any of you tell me about those wonderful things?!
That’s me trying to look really cute so maybe she’ll give me a carrot.  

Foster mom says Foster dogs don’t belong on the furnitures, that’s pretty much the worst rule I have around here since my brother is ALWAYS on the furniture.  Foster mom says Cindy is going to yell at her for letting me post this picture of me on the couch but for some reason she’s not very good at taking my picture and this one shows off all my best attributes. 
That’s me looking soooo handsome on the couch before she made me relocate to the slumber ball. (Sorry Cindy, I couldn’t help myself) 

Welp, it’s bedtime for puppies around here.  



Kup (Anacostia Kup): 2/6 - Settling into retirement

Hi, Kup here!

I've learned that I like chew toys, especially after finding a favorite spot to lay down.  These past couple weeks have learned a whole lot.  I've learned I can do the stairs without a problem.  That I can walk on a leash.  That I know my name.  That I'm getting better at settling down at night and chilling out.  I know what the word no means. And that I love getting hugs and kisses and rubs.

All in all I'm pretty set for this retirement life.  I can't wait to meet you on Saturday.

Love, Kup
