I can snore in any position.

Another busy day. Played ball. Destroyed one, my favourite one. FostM should know better than to leave me alone with stuff. She is on a spring cleaning binge. I follow her everywhere. Everything is soooo interesting !
We had a long walk. Worked on staying ‘off’ when we met people. Almost passed, might have if FostM hadn’t run out of treats. I am improving on recall when playing in the back yard. I AM getting better at so many things.
FostM is such a push over, she gave me a crumb of her steak. I sat patiently until she gave in. Snuggle time until kennel.

I had the best day! FostM and I played fetch. She gave me three square meals, and a bone. I took it outside with me when she let me out to go p*e and when I didn’t bring it back she asked “Where is it? Where’s your bone?” I went back outside, found it, brought got it back and I got a treat! I’m so smart.
Then I watched tv while FostM did housework. Well, I did follow her around when she left the room.
Then we went for a long walk in the sun. It was beautiful. I only pulled a couple times. Once when a Boxer came running to the fence of his yard snd growled and barked at me. I returned the favour and lunged to get close. Later I got really excited when a pair of Pit Bulls passed on the other side of the street and gave me a threatening stare. FostM made me sit until they passed but when they got further down the street I got a little excited. (He REALLY has been walking great the last few days. Still double leads)
I raced around the yard when we got home, had dinner. Now I am probably sleeping for the rest of the evening.
Although, I haven’t had cuddles yet. I’m gonna have to schedule that in later.

I am watching “Into the Wild” while FostM folds laundry. Very interesting. Lots of nature sounds.

It was 1 year ago today that Otis along with his brother Snoopy and sister Nomi were rescued. We were fortunate to foster Nomi until she found her forever home. All 3 pups were in rough shape but were very loving. We hope Otis finds his forever home soon. He looks like a wonderful boy. If he is anything like his siblings, he'll be a great addition to any family.

There has been no running after ball in the back yard since the warm weather has turned the snow into ice. Walks are much slower too since FostM fell. I burn off pent up energy in the house with a minute or so of crazy.
Here I am searching for my squeaky ball when there was still snow.

Hey, FostM! There’s a ball in here somewhere!

FostM could use some practice at action taking videos.

Hi everyone! It’s been awhile since FostM has posted an update. She has not been feeling well.
I am really settling in, jumping up less, practicing patience when FostM prepares for us to go out side.
I 🤎🤎🤎 going OUTSIDE and running through the snow. FostM throws the ball, I find some deep snow, drop the ball in it, pounce on it to drive it in really deep and then dig, dig, dig to get it out. The other day I had my head right in the snow up to my shoulders! So much fun and very entertaining for FostM. I 🤎 the snow, but not the really cold temperatures. My ears get chilly too quick and I want to go back inside. FostM and I have been playing fetch in the house instead, it is not as much fun, but I don’t play tug of war as much, and usually I just put whatever she is throwing in her hand. Fetch is followed up with a KONG snack and a nap.
I whine to go outside for potty, I go to my kennel when told, I stay calm when FostM comes home from work. I am walking pretty good on two leashes. I am becoming a good alarm system with a big bark and I enjoy chatting with the neighbour boxer and little Pomeranian across the back lane. At least I come in the house when FostM calls me.
Best part of the day is snuggling with FostM and getting belly rubs. She is really good at it.
Miss Chris M should be pleased I have put on a little weight. (I really enjoy my food). I love people and am good with other dogs.

I’m waiting … throw it already.

It is very noisy outside tonight. If the bangs and crackles sound close I can see lights exploding in the sky. I am not barking or upset, just very curious as to what is happening.
