Update

Sorry about not writing here in a while. I have been busy with my foster mom! She has taught me that I should only go to the bathroom outside (she called it house training), she also taught me how to sit, lay down, and shake either paw on command. I found out that I LOVE learning new things!!! It is sooo much fun!! My FM says we need to work more on "wave" (Where I wave my paws on command), come, sit-stay, and down-stay.

I also now let my FM pick me up, cut my nails, and roll me on my back (she says she wants to teach me how to play dead too). I love it when my FM gives me hugs and kisses, and I love to play with my FM and the other dogs in my foster home. I am really looking forward to this new life I get to live and am very thankful that my FM was able to catch me when I was in the woods. I have found out that there is a much better life than roaming in the woods and look forward to living that life. My FM says she will make sure that the person who adopts me loves me as much as my FM does. = ) I will be sad to leave my FM, but I know I am ready for a new home and need to go to my forever home so she can help another dog like me. I will remember her forever, and she says that she will remember me forever too. = )

It's COLD!!!

You northern dogs might be laughing because I think it is cold here, but here in Texas, this is REALLY cold weather. It has been 30 F for the past few days (around 20 F at night)!!! I am SO happy that I am inside a nice warm house now instead of running loose in the woods right now. I hope it warms up soon so I can go outside and play. I just have a very thin coat and get cold easily, so I don't like being outside when it's cold, although some of the Border Collies who live here are happy that it is so cold. They love to run and play in the cold weather. I can't wait for spring!!!

Life in my foster home

I'm going to pick up where I left off in my last entry. My puppies grew up and each of them found wonderful forever homes about a week before Christmas. They are all doing great and loving life in their new homes. Meadow's puppies are just about ready to go to their forever homes. Meadow is also now looking for her forever home. She now fully trusts our foster mom and the rest of the family, plus has finnished all of her vetting, so she is ready to find her new home now.

I am not quite ready to trust most people, but am begining to trust our foster mom. She has been very kind to us. She has taught me how to walk on a leash, gives me alot of treats, and gives me a nice warm, soft place to sleep. She has also taught me how to play with stuffed toys, and to play pull tug. I am starting to think that there are nice people out there, who just want to help us.

How I got into Rescue

Sorry for waiting so long to post my first diary entry, this is the first time I've ever been on my foster mom's computer.

I was born as a stray in Quinlan, TX. I was from one of Meadow's past litters while she was running loose in the woods (you can see Meadow's page under My Family to read more about her story). All of my siblings were killed, but I managed to servive. One day, my foster mom, and some other people came and they caught us (Me, my puppies, Meadow, and her puppies) and put us all into crates. My foster mom brought us all to her home and put us in kennels with dog houses and blankets. I was REALLY worried, I have never known a human that was nice to me before. Meadow started trusting our foster mom right away, then my puppies started trusting her, and of course Meadow's puppies trusted her as soon as thier eyes opened (they were only a week old when we were caught, so they didn't know any better). I started to get curious about this person who seemed to really care about us, but I still couldn't bring my self to trust her. This is how I got into rescue. I'll write more about things that have happend since then a little latter.
