I went home today!!!!!!

So guys, this is it! Today I went home with my new mum!

Could this be it?

Today might just be the start of my new life! I met a lady today who really, really likes me! She says she can provide a great home for me with lots of love. How great would that be? I have to wait a few more days until the rescue can do a homevisit with her but I really have a good feeling this time. Foster mum cried when she heard that the lady really wants to be my forever mum. People are so weird. This is a good thing and yet she is sad. I promise I will give her lots of kisses over the next days to make it better. I guess I'll miss living here but I can not wait to have a forever mum all for myself.
Keep your paws crossed for me!!

Fun at the beach!

Today was the most pawsomest day ever! My foster parents took me too this super cool place they call beach. There was so much sand, and so much intresting stuff to sniff out. The weirdest thing was that gib puddle of water. It kept moving and it tasted yucky! Foster mum put up some pictures of that beach thing. It was really great.
Yet there is till no forever family in sight for me. Are you sure you don't want to adopt me?

So I am still here at my foster home. Seems that everypone who is intrested in me backs off. I try not to let it bother me but all I want is my very own family to play wih. Foster mum says to be patient and that the perfect familywill come along and fall in love with me. But when?
Not that the past two months haven't been ggggreat! Except that day they took me to the vet and aehm, well, snip-snip! Still miss those guys.
I now know how to sit and lay down when asked to, yap pretty coll stuff, eh?

Yuck!

Hi there pups! So much stuff is going on around here! I am still having a blast with my foster brother Elliot, we play soo much and I love it! Foster mum added soem new pictures of us and me in particular of course. Over the weekend a bunch of people I hadn't met before came over and I did really great! I just politley said hi to everyone and minded my own buisiness. But oh the compliments I got! I don't want to brag but everyone thought I was just extra beautiful.
I am however a little disappointed in my foster mum. See her main purpose is to play with me and spoil me but she keeps talking about training! So she really expects me to lay down for a treat? Don't tell her but I have it all figured out. I just pretend to not know down yet so she keeps practicing with me. A pups gotta be smart.
One very strange thing has been going on around here. There is some creatuire that spits water at me when I play bite foster parents feet. YUCK! YUCK! YUCK! The call it the 'spraybottle'. I am one the lookout for that guy and when I catch him so help me I will chew that spray thingy right off. I kinda like it when he gets really close and spuirts right into my mouth, that even gets me distracted from my great plan to destroy it. Gotta focus, gotta focus...
I've got loads of plans for this week, too. First I'll visit my buddy the vet and then there are some birds I have to chase, a bone I've got to chew on and some wholes that need some digging perfection. Busy, busy Sarge...

Thanks!!!

I have to give a shout out to all you great dogsters out there!
Thanks so much to Linda for the lovely welcome rosette! Mica-the wonderpup Has also given me a beautiful rosette and is helping foster mum to spread the word about me. Mica truly is wonderful.
Have you seen my pawsome 4th of july pictures? Peanutty and AshleyAnn Rodriguez
made them for me. Thanks so much guys!
And not to mention the sprakly star I got from one wonderful anoymous dogster. Whoever you are thanks!

Things here are really good. Elliot and I are finally getting along really well. We played all day today and foster mum says he is getting over his jealousy. This is soo great because I love nothing more than to play and now I have a foster brother who loves to play with me, too. Foster mum added a few new pictures of me and some of Elliot and me playing. Boy today is a great day! Gotta go take a nap now. Playing all day sure made me a tired pup.

As time goes by

Whew, time sure goes by fast when you are having fun. This week has been so exciting for me. I've been in this foster home for one week now and boy I've already learned a lot. I am doing soooo great with lifting my head up, I still look down most of the time but for toys, treats or a nice ear scratch I can really stretch my neck. Foster mums been using this weird clicker thing to 'train' me. I am not sure about that yet, we'll see how that goes.

My foster siblings are a bunch of weird dogs. The little one is finally warming up to me, he's actually quite fun to play with. The big one, well I just don't get her. She's all relaxed, taking a nap when I jump on her to get her to play with me. She makes these werid sounds, I guess they mean she wants to play, too so I get really excited and jump up and down and paw her. Than she gets mad. Phuh, females! Foster mum says I am too friendly and don't see well enough to notice when another dog is actually snarling at me and wants me to go away. That does not make sense to em though. I mean who would not want to play with me? Foster mum says that I'll probably have to learn the hard way that not all fellow pups are as loving as I am.

Today I got to take a car ride with foster dad to an 'adoption event'. That was fun! I got to meet a bunch of pups, I got to play a lot and I met some people, too. I really did my best to show off how fabulous I am but noone seemed to notice. One person that talked to dad about me actually called me stupid! Can you believe that?
Foster mum says not to worry, I will find my furever family soon. I sure hope she's right.

A new beginning

My life's been nothing but new stuff these past two weeks! First I got lost from my original owner or maybe he didn't want me anymore, who knows? All I know is that one day I ended up in this loud, noisy place with a bunch of other unhappy dogs. People would come in to find a new dog but noone wanted to take me home. I overheard them say that I only had three more days. Three more days till what? Till my owner would come to reclaim me?Till my new family would come to get me? Surely they weren't talking about that scarry door that dogs go through and never come back from?
As it is being blind is not very helpful for a shelter pup. Yes my story could have been a sad one, one of the 7 million dogs and cats that go though those doors in shelters all over the country. My story could have ended, but it didn't. I am one of the lucky ones!

That day a couple walked through the shelter, they stopped by my kennel and started talking to me. Oh the sweet sound of friendly voices! I did my best, even though I was scared, to show them what a great pup I am.
They took me outside and boy was I happy! They started talking to the shelter people and learned that that door was were I was going if no home could be found for me. They both agreed that that was not an option! They said they would foster me until a home could be found. The wonderful people of HART heard about my fate and immedeatly stepped in to rescue me.

And that's when I got my second chance! I am not only a special needs dog, I am extra special! I am extra friendly, extra playful and extra cute.
I do have some quirks, but foster mum says they only make me more lovable.
I do not lift my head up, which seems to be a result of me living in a very small, confined space for a looong time. I am learning though. Foster mum keeps holding those treats above my nose so I have to lift myhead a little bit. I think I am getting the hang of this. I also spin in circles a lot, especially when I am sacred or something is confusing me but this will probably get better soon. It already has improved a lot since I got out of the shelter.
I am very puppyish, most likely because I never got the chance to be one before. I love to play, did I already mention that? Well it is so important that it can't be stressed enough: I LOVE TO PLAY!!!!
My limited eyesight does not affect me in getting around, except for glass doors, I don't quite get those yet. I might have some minor brain damage which might be the reason why I am not so good at focusing. If I try to paw at a ball I often miss it and I have a very short attention span. Foster mum says we will be working on coordination and concentration. As long as there is some playing involved that sounds good to me!
I would love a home with another dog and a family that is patient with me and will give me time to do things the way I do them.
