Poe (Flashey Dresser): 10/22 - Poe Says, "SQUEAK!"

Hi again, everyone! It's me, Poe, here to tell you about a fantastic toy I found in the toy basket here at Uncle Chris's house - it's the Kong Wubba Pal. And? It. Is. Awesome.

Allow me to demonstrate...




Pretty good stuff, right? Maybe if we were family we could all squeak together? Just saying.

Okay, see you later!

Love and Nose Bumps,

Poe

Reva (SNL Flamin Fire): 10/20 - Greetings!

 Hey everyone! It's Reva! I just wanted to stop by and share my awesomeness! 


I'm cute and curious,  as you can see. I also have the cutest ears, or so I've been told. Sometimes they go in different directions, sometimes they go to one side, and sometimes they go straight up. I think it makes me even more adorable,  if that is possible.  


I'm off to cuddle with FoMa.  TTYL! 

 







Rusty (Rusty Nail): 10/19 - Personal Space

Hello friends! 
Morning post-breaky, cozy time is so relaxing. As long as I am near my humans and my foster siblings, I am a happy boy. 



Be warned though, my handsome self is always ready for a close-up snuggle. 





Here I come!





Much better!

Lucky (Mad Luck): 10/18 - I Love Retirement

Hi, I'm Lucky!  I'm new to this life and I've already started to enjoy this.  I've found dog beds to be super comfy,  I love my foster parents and greyhound cousins and just learning to ropes of retirement life. I'm getting used to the stairs and learning to wait to go out like my greyhound cousins. 
This new life is going to be such fun!

Poe (Flashey Dresser): 10/16 - I Love Stuffed Toys!

 Hi again everybody! It is I, your pal Poe, and I have something important to share with you today!

I absolutely LOVE stuffies! I like them that squeak, I like it when they squawk, and even when they honk - but you know what I like best about them?

Cuddling!

Oh, so you think this is cute? Me and Monkey spending quality time together?




You're positive it's cute?



What about if we're cuddling like this?

What if we switch from the living room to Auntie Kate's office and I cuddle with the fox stuffie? There are real foxes that live in Uncle Chris's neighborhood and I got to see one on a walk the other night - It was super cool!


"Mmph! Help, this is too much love!" ~ Mr. Fox



Cuddling like this makes us all happy...

How about a quick pupdate to go along with cute picutures?
  • I've totally mastered the DOWN command! Still working on SIT, and STAY will come later.
  • I've got excellent signals for "I have to go out to potty"
  • I'm a great office mate to Auntie Kate and a good helper to Uncle Chris during the day.
  • And I'm doing good on my alone training - I went 2 hours all by myself the other day without issue!
Okay, just wanted to check in with you. Don't forget, if you'd like to meet me? Make sure you've got all your application stuff filled out and maybe we'll be a good match! That would be super fun.

Falling asleep on my blankie as I type...

Love and lots of Nose Bumps,
Poe

Poe (Flashey Dresser): 10/9 - New Digs!

 Well hello there! It is I, Poe, here to let you know I'm staying with my new pal, Uncle Chris. Have you seen my cuteness lately? Why don't we have a little look?

Here I am being cute while eating my dinner!

Did you know I'm a silly puppy-head? I love to play with toys, especially squeaky and honky toys!

Uncle Chris says I'm going to learn all sorts of stuff while I'm here. I'm pretty excited about that. I've only been here a few days and I've already almost mastered the DOWN command. We use it when I eat my meals or get my treats. Next up is SIT, which is more difficult - but I've got a head start on it. See, I've done it before, so I'll learn it quick. 

What's that? You want more pictures? Well okay!

This one is of me on my first day here relaxing a little.

ZZzzZZZzz...

I'm also an excellent office mate! Do you have a home office that we could hang out in?

This bed in Auntie Kate's office is pretty comfy!

Last one shows you how much I love people. I'm a pretty big fan of Uncle Chris already. I also love every stranger I meet on the street on my walks 😁

We're buddies.

So keep an eye out for more updates as I work on my skills, okay? And I'll make sure UC keeps getting good pictures of me.

Oh, and if you want to meet my infinite cuteness? Fill out an adoption application and maybe it will be a match. Since I love people so much, that would be super fun!

Okay, time for me to go now. I need a nap.

Love and chin kisses,
Poe
