Sneaker (CET Sweet Sneakr): 8/07/22 Sweet Retirement!

Hi, I'm Sneaker, and I’m trying out this new retirement thing. It’s pretty cool so far! I’ve got some foster brothers, and one even looks like me! 

 l

I like soft dog beds a lot. 



My foster Mom says I'm a little bit shy, and I need some time to warm up, but when I do, I'm a sweet love bug!

Jasmine (Superior Jasmine): 6/11/22 Fun and Photos!

Foster Mom and I have been touring the county looking for great spots to get a few cheesecake shots so you can see how adorable I am!  This is me at Leonardtown Wharf!  It was a really hot day as you can see by my tongue extension, but I love being by the water!


I like getting really close when we are taking photos! I think she got my best side!


Ahhhhh.....finally some shade!

Sometimes I am shy when having my picture taken...like in this shot.


But at the end of the day, I love to snuggle in bed with my treasure trove!

Jasmine (Superior Jasmine) 8 June 22 Introductions

HI!  I am Jasmine!  I am also known as Jazz, Jazzy and sweet baby girl! I am smart, loving, playful and take correction well!  Don't believe me?  Ask my foster mom!

Do you like balls and things that squeak?  Then I could be the girl for you!  I LOVE squeaking all the toys, fetching balls and going for walks!!! I even bring the ball to foster mom every once in a while, when I want to play.  I also like to explore new things!  This is me checking out the backyard from our deck with my foster sister!

But I also know how to find just the right spot to chill after a long walk!


Foster mom says that I am a smart cookie (mmmm.....cookies...) and that I learn fast!  I have already learned how to go up and down the stairs, navigate through a doggie door and go potty outside!    I also walk on the leash really well with and without my foster sisters!  This is another shot of me at the beach! I loved exploring all the new scents!


After all this learnin I am ready for a good nights sleep!







Dorie (Volando Olvera): 5/26/22 - Picnic Fun!

 Oh. My. Gosh. I did something so much fun this past weekend? I just have to tell you about it!

I went to the Reunion Picnic for Greyt Expectations!

First? I laid down on my blankie under the shade tent. And I napped. Then? I went down to the water by the river (all fenced in) and crashed in the water for a while to cool off and enjoy the water. Then, I went back to my blankie and napped some more. There were other dogs running all over the place like crazy pups (all fenced). I got up and ran like 50 feet - then - you guessed it - went and napped some more.

This is me napping on my blankie in the shade!

Picnics tire this puppy out!

We all had a great time - you should have seen all the doggies having a great time running around! Thanks to absolutely everyone who made it such a fun day 😀

Oh, you didn't believe me about all the napping I did?

Snoozing away, thank you very much!

Do not disturb!

I hear we're going to meet soon! I'll see you then...

Love and Houndie Kisses,
Dorie






Dorie (Volando Olvera): 5/4/22 - Let's talk Skills!

 Hi Everyone! It's me, Dorie, here again with more to talk about.

Everyone is good at something or things, right? Like basketball, for instance! Let me just woof, I'm not good at basketball - but I do have other talents!

First - LOVE. I'm really good at both getting and giving love. You can rub my tummy, my ears, or whatever.

Second? CUDDLING or NAPPING. See below for evidence...


Lying on Auntie Kate's feet with her blankie.

Next - OFFICE MATE. Oh boy am I good at this one! I sleep most of the day in Auntie Kate's office while she's on video meetings. The big poofy bed in her office is super!

ZZZzzzzzZZZzzz...

Next - OBEDIENCE. You betcha! I know SIT and DOWN, and I'm good at STAY, too. 

Lastly - The only thing I'm not good at? Small dogs and cats - they're just a nope for me. And basketball 😀

How about you? What cool skills do you have?


Love and Nose Bumps,

Dorie

Dorie (Volando Olvera): 4/28 - Hi, I'm Dorie!

 Hi Everyone! It's me, Dorie! I'm excited to meet you - and I have lots to tell you about me. But let's start with a cute picture, shall we?


Hi, I'm Dorie!

See how cute I am?

Want to know more? Let's see... I'm tall and lanky. I give kisses sometimes. I'm a cuddle-bug and a leaner! I love getting love from people and snuggling. All good stuff, right? The only thing I'm fussy about is other dogs - I don't get along with some of them, especially small ones. Cheese, however? I like a little piece of cheese now and then. And doggie cookies (Milkbones, those awesome Kirkland ones), bully sticks are a special treat, and maybe a little taste of your scrambled eggs? 😀


Me snuggling with my Duckie toy - I love toys

I like being out in the spring weather - these tulips were particularly pretty, kind of like me!

Sniff, sniff... Pretty!





Did I mention I like toys?

Next time we'll talk about some of my skills, okay? But for now, I'll be looking forward to meeting you!

Love and Greyhound Naps,
Dorie

Gym (Iwannaquitthegym) 04/05 Going exploring

 I'm a big dog with big ambitions and I have to take a big stretch before a day of big adventures. 



Walks in the woods in the springtime are the best—there are so many smells and sounds and sights to enjoy! Sometimes the big rocks and stream crossings and fallen trees can be tricky, but I am learning to love a challenge.





I'm always ready for my next adventure!
