Death Row to New Home: Bear's Story

Life is Good

I haven't seen Foster Mom in several days, and you know what? That's a good thing. I have a new family right now and they seem to like me a lot. I like them too! No more crates or huge chains or staying outside alone. I have my own place by the window and a big pond with giant fish in it! I know Foster Mom was hoping I'd never heard of sushi when she left me with my potential new family.

So, I think my diary as a homeless dog is at an end. It sure wasn't fun being without my very own people, but I'm not the only dog out there. I will keep my paws crossed for my fellow shelter dogs and hope they can find someone to give them a good life, good food, and lots of walks and pets.

The dogs who will take my place in foster care will have diaries and lots to tell you, so if you are looking to add a member to the family, check out my Foster Mom's dogs. She lets us keep diaries and spill secrets...

Gonna chow for now,

Bear

Outdoor Play

Isn't this cold weather great? Foster Mom said it's wonderful because when you have multiple dogs, there are three seasons: Summer, Winter, Mud Season. Mud season kinda sounds like fun, don't you think?

Pixie and the Wiggly Giggly

Remember how I said Pixie is nothing but a tease? Well, she's a tease with a wiggly giggly.

Foster Dad says Foster Mom has a way of getting very annoying toys for both kids and dogs. I would have to agree with the wiggly giggly--or more like the combination of Pixie and her favorite toy.

Pixie thinks she's a soccer star. She will kick and chase the ball around the house, then pick it up in her mouth (not regulation, Pix) and throw it at Foster Dad, who will roll it across the floor.

Now the reason why it's a wiggly giggly is because as it rolls across the floor, it makes a noise. We dogs LOVE this sensation. Well, not so muc me, since I haven't really gotten into the toys yet, but Pixie is fixated with it. I would rather get my pets or lay on my Kuranda bed and chew on a raw bone. Yummmmmeeee!

The bright side is that while Pixie goes all wiggly giggly, I get her dog bone too. It's a win win for all!
