Lisa (PJ Pinkies Up): 2/1 - Update from retirement

Hello Friends! Lisa here with another update from retirement. I've been a busy girl and have been on my best behavior. I'm a very observant pup and a quick learner. I was quick to pick up the routine at my foster home and my foster parents tell me I'm a greyt student! I know lots of commands and am just itching to learn more. I've also figured out that I don't have to be so busy during the day, that I can just sleep and that's okay. Check out some of these pics of me relaxing:

My foster parents have been taking me on walks and to run errands with them. They say my leash manners have improved significantly. I really like my outings, especially because I like to take in all the sights and smells of the big world. Here are some photos of me from a few of our outings:

Anyway, that's all for now. I'm doing really well in my foster family, but I think it's time for me to move on to my Forever Home. I know my Family is out there and I hope we'll be together very soon!

Kup (Anacostia Kup): 1/31- Loving retirement

Hi everybody. Kup here! 

I'm really settling into retirement life.  I've already found my favorite bed in the house and I love following my humans around seeing what they're doing.  I have been known to steal some socks out of the laundry 😄. Hey I'm just having fun here.  I do well on the stairs and I'm getting better at walking on the leash. 

I look forward to every meal time so coaxing me along with a treat is certainly in my future.  I listened very well to correction.  What can I say I'm eager to please.

I hear there's an adoption event next weekend I can't wait to meet all the people.

Love Kup

This thing doesn’t fit properly! Thankfully my foster parents fixed it eventually...

Charley (Charley Cheswick): 1/30 - The waggly tail

Hi everyone, I know it’s been a while but alas your wait is over.  Life has been crazy but I’ve been doing all sorts of fun things.

I moved into a new foster home because my first foster parents found out my foster brother had cancer so I got to move to Hampton Roads and meet some new people.  I thought that was so cool because I LOVE people.  My new house has two Irish Wolfhounds and one Greyhound like me, I really want to play with him but I don’t think he feels the same way.  That’s okay though because my new house has a TON of toys and I think toys are the greatest thing ever.  It’s exhausting playing with toys.

  This is me and my new foster brother and sisters.

My new foster mom always tells me how handsome I am but she says it’s really hard to take my picture because I’m always running up for pets.  My human foster brother was vacuuming the floor the other day but I didn’t understand what the big fuss was.

Foster mom says I’m pretty much the best boy ever, I’m relaxed and loving.  I don’t think it’s such a big deal...  I mean who doesn’t love pets and snuggles?!  As for being relaxed... maybe it’s because I practice yoga?

 

Foster mom says I’m sooooo handsome and I’m going to make the best family dog.  I hope I find a new family that will give me lots of pets and snuggles forever.  

Kup (Anacostia Kup): 1/29 - I love hugs

Hi it's Kup,

It's been a few days into my retirement and I love all the perks.  I love hanging out with my human and dog foster family.  I love being in the same room with everyone and getting lots of rubs and hugs.  I even give kisses too!  

Today is going to be a great day for a walk. I love all the noises and other dogs.  The TV had a noise I had never heard before. The humans were watch a show called "Star Wars" and the laser fight freaked me out a bit do I took a break. 

I'm a curious boy and is very playful. If you love snuggles and playing, I'm your guy.

Talk to you soon.  Love, Kup

Buff (Atascocita Buff): 1/28 - Meet Buff

Hi I’m Buff! Ok, let’s make this clear from the start- I love attention, cuddles, and scalp massages! Also on the list of things I love- more attention, yet more attention, and watching humans do stuff! I’m not needy or pushy about it, I just want to be where the love is!

The thing is that I love attention so much it can be hard to get photos of anything except my handsome face! That doesn’t seem like a bad thing though!

My foster parents say that I’m pretty much the perfect dog as I sleep through the night and I’m really good in the house. Plus I’m gentle and patient with my foster sister who is so much smaller than me!

I am a very cautious and sensitive boy though, and will need a confident and patient forever family to help me along the way. I absolutely love my walks around the neighborhood, and would love to be part of a pack that is happy to give me lots of little adventures!

Tonga (Atascocita Tonga): 1/28 - Day out

Tonga here today I went to the post office.I was good on my ride and waited quietly in the van. Then I had my first trip to Home Depot. I so excited that I wanted to see everything. I wasn't listening to foster Mom very well but it was my first time. I loved people petting me and I'm going to work on my walking skills. I'm a very strong for a little girl.
