Poe (Flashey Dresser): 10/9 - New Digs!

 Well hello there! It is I, Poe, here to let you know I'm staying with my new pal, Uncle Chris. Have you seen my cuteness lately? Why don't we have a little look?

Here I am being cute while eating my dinner!

Did you know I'm a silly puppy-head? I love to play with toys, especially squeaky and honky toys!

Uncle Chris says I'm going to learn all sorts of stuff while I'm here. I'm pretty excited about that. I've only been here a few days and I've already almost mastered the DOWN command. We use it when I eat my meals or get my treats. Next up is SIT, which is more difficult - but I've got a head start on it. See, I've done it before, so I'll learn it quick. 

What's that? You want more pictures? Well okay!

This one is of me on my first day here relaxing a little.

ZZzzZZZzz...

I'm also an excellent office mate! Do you have a home office that we could hang out in?

This bed in Auntie Kate's office is pretty comfy!

Last one shows you how much I love people. I'm a pretty big fan of Uncle Chris already. I also love every stranger I meet on the street on my walks 😁

We're buddies.

So keep an eye out for more updates as I work on my skills, okay? And I'll make sure UC keeps getting good pictures of me.

Oh, and if you want to meet my infinite cuteness? Fill out an adoption application and maybe it will be a match. Since I love people so much, that would be super fun!

Okay, time for me to go now. I need a nap.

Love and chin kisses,
Poe


Rusty (Rusty Nail): 9/17 - Good morning!

Why, hello there. 



Please enjoy how handsome I am.



The end.

Rusty (Rusty Nail): 9/11 - Daily Naps

Who doesn’t love a good nap?




 I try to fit at least 10 naps into my busy schedule every day. I like to nap on all kinds of beds: round beds, rectangular beds, Kuranda beds where I can hang my head over the side for maximus relaximus, and in the sunshine on our porch. I nap upside down, right side up, in a little ball, hoarding my toys, and all stretched out. I’m not picky, I just love naps.






 


I also love to snuggle with my humans.

So if you’re looking for a little boy with wicked napping prowess, I hit the nail on the head. 😉

Rusty (Rusty Nail): 9/8 - Porch Life

Guys, do you have a front porch? I do!




I love that my foster family has a front porch where I can awkwardly stare at people and dogs and kids who go by. There is a park down the street, so I get to watch the activity all day long.




The best part, though, is when we go on walks to the park too!

Eddie (Royal Envoy) 9/6/21 - Sharing is Caring

 


Hello friends,

I do love licking the post medication/Kong preparation spoon.  Turns out, everyone else in the house does too!  Foster brother Pete and I frequently share.  Nom nom nom



Oops! Got a little on my nose, but it's SO delicious!




Do you have spoon licking time at your house?  If not, I HIGHLY recommend it.


Until next time,


Eddie 🐾

Eddie (Royal Envoy): 08/21 - TOYS!!

 Eddie (Royal Envoy):  08/20/21 - TOYS!!


Hello friends,


I am a reserved and gentle boy, so sometimes it takes me a little time to get comfortable and start to explore new things.  Well, I’ve been with my foster mom for a few weeks now, and this week, I have been investigating the wonderful world of TOYS!!!


There are toys of all kinds - some are firm, some are flappy, some squeak, some grunt, some crinkle, and some do all of the above.   Foster mom has a HUGE basket filled with toys; there were so many that I decided to take a sampling.   I even figured out how to carry one in my mouth up and down the stairs - I was super proud of that. 


Hanging with my new friends.


Here I am starting to play with them.  As you can see, I’m very gentle.

Foster mom says she won’t be surprised if she finds me tossing them in the air one day soon!


Until next time,


Eddie 🐾
