Cyclone Joey Climbs Mt Trashmore

Hey everyone! Joey here.  I wanted to tell you all about my day yesterday.  First, I climbed up a mountain...then I climbed down a mountain!  Granted there were stairs on both sides (which I totally am getting the hag of) but it was a mountain just the same.  It was a nice day and I got to meet a lot of peoples and other doggies.  Everyone was very friendly to me and I was so chill with them...even the tiny peoples!  We walked around and I was so good on my leash and just enjoyed seeing the sights and smelling the smells.  I saw ducks and just watched them.  I didn’t feel I needed to chase them at all.  It was a greyt day and I came back to the house and just relaxed and took a big nap!  Seems that I’m really enjoying the new opportunities to get out and about and experience new things.  It’s a big world full of adventure!  Do you want to share these adventures with me?  It would make me wag my tail!

Hey!  It’s me, Joey!  How you doo-in?  I’m super.  I’ve found that a couple of the best things about being retired are stuffie toys and dog beds!  The place I’m at right now has an abundance of both and I’m just soaking it in!  I  love to toss the stuffie in the air and catch them and then I’ll do zommie laps around the house with it in my mouth!  It is so much fun!  Sometimes a people will play catch with me and it is the greatest!  I’ll play so hard that I’ll tire myself  out AND that is where the dog beds come in.  I’ll rest awhile and then I’m up and ready to do it again!  My favorite game is when I rest on the comfy bed, a people will pick up all the toys and put them away just so I can pull them all out again and spread them throughout the house!  Everyone thinks it’s adorable and I’ll have to agree!  I can’t wait to be this adorable in my furever home.  Will someone please help me with that?  I can promise it will change your life and mine too!

Introducing Girly

Hello my possible FFP's (forever family people)

I would like to introduce myself and tell you how much I love retired life and how I'm so looking forward to finding my forever family.
I'm having a GREYT time in my foster home but foster mom keeps reminding me that this is temporary and hopefully I'll find my forever home soon!

Let me tell you how much I'm loving retirement. I wasn't so sure at first but foster sis' Opal has been showing me the ropes and foster mom tells me, "it's not about the race, it's the journey that counts".

Well I'm pretty darn smart but FM can get a little overly philosophical for me. Opal my FS helps though. She says. "just chill and all the good things will come to you!"

So far I've been learning how to walk on a leash and I'm really getting the hang of it. I'm learning that meals are served twice a day without fail. Treats show up pretty much every time we come home from a walk and sometimes more often!

I'm the one with the antenna up!

I'm learning about all the great smells there are out in the neighborhood, not to mention other dogs, humans, cats, squirrels.

Right now I'm chilling after dinner but I'll get back to you soon!

Kong is looking forward to the weekend

Why the long face? We got caught out in the rain this week. I got soaked. I didn’t really mind it though, and getting dried off was kinda fun. I let my foster people chase me around the house.

I’m gradually learning that it’s ok to sleep in and I don’t need to wake my foster parents up in the morning. I kinda assumed that when birds outside started chirping that was a good time for me to wake them up. Now they are the ones that get me up from a slumber! All good though, I’m ready to roll in no time and can’t wait to get out for a walk.

My foster sister is fine. We like hanging out but kinda just ignore each other. Occasionally she’ll try and get into my crate and we’ll hang out in there. Not much worries me to be honest!

Hope you have a nice weekend! Kong 🐾

Hi Friends! I'm MJ, and I've been working hard at learning how to be "retired." Shortly after I arrived in Maryland, my foster mom (FOMA) took me home, and I met her dogs! I was so eager to make new friends. I made sure I wagged my tail and did all the appropriate sniffing. Shortly after we met, FOMA said I had to learn how to go up and down stairs. At first, I was worried about going up the stairs, but I didn't want to be downstairs by myself, so I got brave, and up I went. FOMA clapped and told me I was a good boy. Going down stairs was kinda scary, but FOMA made sure I saw treats waiting, and she talked me into taking it one step at a time!

Since I'm so used to having a regular routine, I had no trouble adjusting to FOMA's work schedule and being crated. In fact, I love my crate. Anyhow, I sleep in my crate whenever she's not home. She leaves music on for me and her pups, so that's also relaxing. 

You know what I don't love? FOMA's Roomba. That thing really scares me. I hope it's okay if I hide from the vacuum in my new home. I go to the shower or my crate when that thing starts! My FOMA's got to figure out how to add pictures, so she can show you how cute I look hiding in the shower!

In the meantime, I'm going to keep working on how to be someone's BEST BOY! ❤️

We'll chat again soon!

Turbo Hale - Camping!!

Sorry it's been awhile! I have been BUSY!

Foster mom took me hiking and camping which was so cool.

Except for the scary centipede....

Check out my adventures below!

Foster mom's sleeping bag was the most comfortable spot in the tent, so naturally that's where Selene and me wanted to sleep!

In the morning, Selene let me cuddle with her!

Hiking is tiring, thankfully I can lean on Selene!

Napping is fun, but napping in the outdoors is even BETTER!

 I really enjoyed my adventures with my foster family. I just love doing any activity as long as my people are around. I can't wait to find my forever people to do activities with!!
