Bale: 3/19 - Blowing Raspberries

Hey all,  just went for my first walk around the neighborhood.  I saw these different colored big metal boxes that go by me very fast and make a rumbling noise.  I get a little startled when they pass me from behind.  Foster Mom says not to worry just to stay by her side and never ever jump out or run in front of then as I could be hurt very badly.  I also saw this person running fast pushing something with a little two-legged person sitting in it.  I had to stop and look at that, it looked like a lot of fun. I wonder if I could get a ride? There were so many things to see and smell I was very excited.  Foster mom said I am a bit of a weaver but we will work on that.  I also have to tell you I think Foster mom is a bit odd, she gets the biggest kick out of the different ways my ears go, I mean they are just ears for goodness sake.  Anyway check back later for more of 'Bales Tales'.  Oh BTW, Did I tell you that  I can blow raspberries? Check out  this video here ---->   blowing raspberries

Secret: 3/19 - Sunday snuggles part 2

Sunday snuggles continued today while Momma P was working.  

Olive taught me how to use the pillows.

Olive makes a good pillow too.

I hope my furever family has pillows for me to use.  I'm not picky either...actual pillows, humans, or other 4-leggers will work.

TTFN,

Secret: 3/19 - Sunday snuggles

Good morning faithful followers!  Momma P made me go outside this morning in the rain...with some snowflakes mixed in...so I told Zoey we were going to snuggle to get warmed up.  I don't think she was sure about it at first.  I told her that she could use me as a pillow, but she decided to lay down beside me.



TTFN,

Secret: 3/18 - BarkBox arrival

Hey, everyone!  Have you ever heard of a box that shows up at your house every now and then that's full of treats and toys?  Well Momma P gets them for her girls, and I was able to help open it up this time when it showed up.  We all sniffed and sniffed, but then I realized there were toys inside and I quickly ran off with one of them.  Afterward, we all got to have a couple of treats that were inside.  I've learned "down" so Momma P made me do that before I got mine.  Olive has to sit for her treats.  Momma P said we're going to learn that before I go to my furever home.  I don't care what she teaches me as long as I get to have more treats.


Sure hope my furever family likes to surprise me with treats and toys every now and then.

TTFN,

Bale: 3/18 - Silly Ears

Bale here, sorry I haven't blogged for a bit.  I didn't find my furever home last week, but paws crossed for next time.  Since then, I've been busy getting used to my new foster home.  There are two big teenage boys here that make a lot of noise who took a bit of getting used to but I am cool with their ruckus now, however Foster Mom (FM) is not.  I figured out the steep stairs too, it took me three days but I am a pro at them now.  FM laughs at my silly ears.  Check'em out, I think they are perfectly fine.

Clipper: Vacation - 3/17

Last weekend, I went to Aunty Cindy and Uncle Jeff's house. They had lots of dogs for me to play with, and I had soooo much fun! I was really tired when I came back! Here's me napping off my fun vacation. Do you have a dog to be my friend?
Love, Clipper

Secret: 3/17 - #FlashbackFriday

I love it when we have visitors.  That means there's another person to introduce us retired racing greyhounds too.  It doesn't hurt that they always give me lots of attention too.  Check out the squishy nose that happened when Miss E came to visit last Friday.  She loved and loved on me soooo much that I just wanted to get as close to her as I could.  I didn't care about my nose as I took a quick nap beside her.


I also can't wait to show my furver family my squishy nose!  I know it's not ladylike, but that's okay.  I think that they'll forgive me when they see all the love I have to give.

TTFN,
