Cult: 2/8/17

I had a greyt day today. We were up at 6  and out to potty. Then it was breakfast time and out again. My alone time was good and I was so happy to see foster Mom I barked at her. I'm  really starting to come out and showing my Mom new things. We went to the park and I walked very well. I got lots of attention from other walkers. One lady wanted me to go home with her, because I'm so cute. Then this afternoon foster sister and I had a good time chasing each other around the yard. Tomorrow will be a very different day for me. Check back Thursday to see how I made out with the white stuff.






Jake: 2/8 - tonight

Jake here again! Check out this scene from earlier tonight:


Me playing with my favorite toy


Me wagging my tail and reaching for my foster dad to come pet me


Me snoozing on foster dad's lap


Time start to finish you ask? Probably 10 seconds. I'm just loving retirement. Are you looking for a sweet happy hound to join your family? I'm your guy.

Over and out,

Jake



Snap: 2/8 - about me

Hi Snap here

Let's start off with all the nice kind thing my foster mom loves about me.
I am cute

I am a very happy girl with a waggle tail.
I make FM smile every time she looks at me.
I'm good in the crate no crying,  foster mom said I would be fine without one cause I'm so good.
I go into my crate on my own.

I have not whined not even once.
I have not barked.
I'm good on a leash.
I'm good in the yard
I eat well as long as I have an elevated bowl,if not I make a mess.
Now for the not so good part, I love Foster moms bed, it's so soft and squishy. Foster mom had to tell me twice off. You see I'm a foster we are not allowed on the furniture. I have not gotten on not once, I would love to ,it's so squishy.

Foster mom says she would love to keep me for her self, but she has these old girls that need her attention. She tells me I am very special and a love bug. Not really sure what a love bug is. It must be good, she is always smiling when I'm around.
So I told you about me do you think I would be a good fit in your home?Maybe be your love bug. I sure would like you to give me a try. All I ask for is what I give unconditional love. Oh and a few treats that's a must.
Well time for a nap I love to nap.

Love: 2/7 - new things

Hi its Love,

I am getting the hang of this retirement gig.  I've been busy,  I get to sleep, eat, play, sleep some more, then repeat.  I wanted to tell you about this big black thing in the family room where I can sort of see myself, but all of the sudden it lit up and had these moving pictures and sounds coming out of it.  Well let me tell you I ran across the room so fast!! My foster mom said it was OK and I would get used to the big box called a TV and she was right, now I lie down right next to it.  Just so many new things to get used to.  I am getting better at the stairs too.  I went up and down them 6 times tonight for practice.  Foster mom says I am going to be the stair princess very soon.  Here's some new pictures of me !!!  Later Grey-ter,

Taxi: 2/7 - hungry guy

Hi all, Taxi here, getting treats from Foster Mom with my foster brother, Trent. FoMom says he's available for adoption if he doesn't get his nose out of her dinner plate... I said she should eat at the table if she doesn't want us to 'help' her. Hey, being this handsome makes a guy hungry!!


I like my foster sister, Michelle, and I get along well with all of my foster brothers, too! FoMom says I'm a good boy!


Michelle: 2/5 - snow

Hi, Michelle here. I'm still having fun being retired! Here I am, chilling with my foster brothers, Trent and Taxi.


This white stuff fell out of the sky at my foster home. My foster Mom says this is called "snow", so I got to see snow for the first time!


I'm looking for my new family. Could it be you?


See you soon,
Love, Michelleđź’•

Bale: 2/7 - about me

Handsome Bale


Bale does well with our greyhound female as they both love running. Not sure Bale knows that Pippa is chasing after all the squirrels but he has fun. He is very curious and has checked out anything and everything in our home. But his favorite activity seems to be helping to dump the toy basket. Can't believe that he discovered stuffies within an hour of being here. Bale is a sweet easy care boy.
