Arrived into my foster home today.

8/28/12 is a day I will never forget. So much has happened to me and still is. I was picked up by the doggie police and I was not doing anything bad. I was in jail for weeks and it was so scary. I moved up to the holding room and neutered and vaccinated. The volunteers come to that room and take the dogs for walks and give warm bubble baths and brush, it's so nice. Still we didn't have freedom to go out when we wanted to. I was scared cause I didn't know what would happen to me next. I got my matted coat shaved off and some good things but it was not home. I got adopted! The man got really mad! He took me to a vet and was told I have heart worms. He was so mad and took me back to the shelter. WOW! I ended up at one of the volunteer's house. She is a rescue volunteer too. My foster mom and dad are awesome. Mom gave me a bath when dad brught me in the door. Then I had a bowl of yummy food to eat. I went out to potty and then mom and I watched tv in the reclined. My dreams are coming true. Mom said she loves me already and she and dad will not let me down. They will take care of me and find me a very good home. I'm safe!

New Name again

My new Mom wanted my name to be Cody cause I amswered to that when she called me. Well there is already a Cody in the rescue right now so Ms Nancy asked her to pick a new name. She was sad but she found out I will answer to Toby too and she likes that name. Gee what is the big deal? I have all the love, food, water, friends and my Mom to sleep with at night. I mean why would I care what she names me? I am so happy I don't care what she names me. She can keep calling me Henry if she want to. She really does not like that name. hehehe

It's raining again. :( I have to stay inside and play with my friends. We had a hurricane here thius week but we are all dry and safe and it's just the rain, rain, rain that is the problem. I want to go out and play.

Mom got all my papers from the pound today. I am officaly a rescued dog now. I like it. OH gotta go. Dinner's ready.

I have a ....

I have a mommy and a daddy and they love me. My mom is just so sweet to me. She holds me and loves on me and I am so happy. A friend of hers who volunteers at the pound sent her a note tonight and mom was so sad. It said...Our friend and fellow volunteer sent me photos before she shaved him down - he was wrapped in coils
of feces - his hair was long and matted and somehow he was just matted
in coils of waste - he was so happy to be free and able to move
unrestrained…that is why we volunteer…..cause sometimes it is
hard to remember.

My mom was very upset but it's all gone now. I have to look to the future not waste this beautiful life looking back. I have so much now. More than I thought I would ever have and I am so happy. I don't want to think about the life I had just a few short weeks ago. I want to enjoy sleeping with my mommy and playing with my friends. I want to enjoy the good food I have and drink all the clean water I want. I wish I could help my mom to stop thinking of what has happened to me in the past. It makes her so very sad. Poor mommy.

It was a good day today. Every day is a good day for me now. Mom and I watched TV and I helped her sew....kind of. Dad did some work outside and then we all piled up on the big curved sofa and just chilled. It was so fun.OH and my friend Doobie and I played till we were pooped out. LOL I like Doobie a lot.

Oh NO!

My foster mommy is just determined to keep me clean. Yuk! I don't like to be clean. She is giving me some junkie stuff to make my fur white around my eyes and maoth too. She is so picky about how I look. Don't mind the brushing though. That feels real good.

I like it here. My foster parents are nice to me. Food is yummy and I am gaining weight. Mom says I am very handsome. She tells all the boys that and tells the girls they are beautiful. It feels good to hear that.

I love my friends here. My bestest friend is Doobie. He's my little buddy. Mom said he is sick but he doesn't act sick. He and I both have heart worms but he has them real bad. Mom is worried about him. I love Doobie and I'm gonna watch out for him.

Poor Mommy.

It happened again yesterday. Mommy went to that bad place again to volunteer. The place I was when she came and took me out. The place where they take dogs and cats and kill many of them. Well she went to volunteer like every week. She came home and showered and she told Daddy that she is so sad. There is a special little dog she is worried about. He is in danger and her heart hurts for him. There are so many of us here already. She and Daddy work to take care of us all day long, except when they are helping other dogs. I sure hope that little dog gets adopted. If he doesn';t get a home soon I know Mom will bring him here. I want him to be safe like me and my friends here.

I figured it out.

I got it alllll figured out. EVERY Thursday my mommy goes to the doggie jail to volunteer. She comes home and I smell it on her. She gives baths to the dogs there just like she did to me when I was there. She takes them for walks and she does other stuff like play with them. Boy! I remember how much I loved it when one of the volunteers played with me. I am glad she goes ther. I'm ok with it.

Bye-Bye

Bye Kricket. She's gettin adopted. She is leavin tomorrow. Mom said she is going to her forever home. That's real nice. I hope she will be very happy for ever and ever. Have a good life Kricket.

I'm staying here. I gotta have heart worm treatment cause I got heart worms. Mom said just be patient and when I am all OK'd by my vet I can get treatment. Doobie is going first. He has them worser than me. I am going to get all well and get a home too. A forever home.

Mom said I should never worry about my new home. She is going to check it out real good. She will make sure my yard is nice and safe and that my family takes me to the vet for yearly exams and that they love me like she does. :) She is so good to me. I love her plenty.

Still here.

I love my family here in my foster home. My mom is just the most awesomestest human. She takes such good care of me. It sure is nice.

My friend Kricket got a home but now I have 2 new friends. Becki used to live here and she is back for a while. She's small and she can't see so good. Shhhhh I don't think she hears so good either. She minds her own business and is no trouble. Today Doodles came. I don't know if I like him yet. I don';t like mom fussin over him. Brushing, bath, more brushing and a hair cut too. She let him on her lap. :(

Thanksgiving

I am thankful that my foster parents didn't let me die in the pound. I am thankful to my people for loving me. I have lots to be thankful for. I am thankful for Dogster for giving me a place of my own on the www.

I am getting...

Mom sent to to spend the night at the vet. He gave me 2 shots. They were real nice to me there but I didn't like spendinh the night. It was not home. Well my foster dad picked me up today and I was so happy to see him. I was even happier when I got home to mommy. Oh I missed my mommy. She missed me too. She said she was so sorry I have heart worms. She said she is going to find me a home that will give me preventative so I don't get them again. She said my new home will be with people who will love me and take good care of me. She held me and kissed me and rubbed me all over. She said she missed me and loves me. Oh it was so nice. So anyway she fixed my dinner and I drank 2 bowls of water! I am happy now.
