Ready to Travel

We are leaving cold, snowy Main-uh and heading to warm, sunny Floor-i-duh on Thursday.  My mama and papa have been getting everything ready, they even took my mats out of the crate and put them in the car already.  This whole traveling thing makes me nervous so I'm not taking any chances.  I'm waiting and ready to go...

Is it time to go yet?

See you in Floor-i-duh!

Silly Christmas Picture

Remember when I said I didn't have any silly things to wear on my head for the holidays.  Well, I spoke a little too soon.  My mama found some goofy antlers today while putting Christmas away.   She reads a lot of dog blogs and loves seeing all the cute pictures of dogs dressed up for Christmas and thought she should have one for herself.  I don't generally allow myself to have pictures taken when I look less that perfect; today, I humored her.

It's a headband, not a necklace, silly mama.

It's falling...IT'S FALLING!

I think this could be Christmas card worthy.

Merry Christmas

I don't have any silly hats or goofy collars to wear to celebrate the holiday, although I'm wearing one of my mama's special bows. I wanted to wish you a happy day.

I helped my papa open his gifts.

I'm right here if you need help.

Let me get a closer look at that

I got two new toys but I'll show you those another time.  I ran around outside with Linus, then took a nap.  Christmas makes me tired.  Hope you were on the nice list, like me.

Linus is in the House

Is that a leaf?

Linus is my new foster brother.  The best part about him is that he gets to stay through Christmas!  The last two foster sisters, Jingle Belle and Noel, were here less than 5 days.  I hardly got to know them and they were gone and adopted.  Hooray for them and their new families.

Jingle Belle

Noel

These sisters were 8 week old pointer mixes.

Linus came from the same foster mama that Penny came from.  Remember her?

I loved her and I wrote a blog all about our relationship here.

Linus is pretty cool, too.  Since there is only one of him, it's easier for my mama and papa to take us on walks together.  He's already pretty good on a leash.  When we walk, I'm not on my best behavior...I want to be in front, ALWAYS!  So I pull my mama along until she stops dead in her tracks and refuses to move until I relax. 
Then we are off again, pulling...stopping...relaxing...pulling...you get the picture. 

When we come home, Linus and I get to play together in the yard. 

Don't just sit there, LET'S PLAY!

Tag, you're it.

The weather got colder today so my papa went to the shelter and got Linus a nice, warm jacket.

Check out my new jacket

Strutting his stuff

Sticks are almost as exciting as leaves

My favorite kong toy broke today ;o(  But I still shared with him and we played keep away.

nah, nah, nah...You can't reach it.

You'll have to catch me first.

Who's got it now?

I'm going to hide it in my mouth so Titan can't find it.

It's so much fun having fosters in the house.

On 3...ready, set...THREE

Whad-ya find?

Linus will return to the Animal Welfare Society after Christmas and he'll be available for uh-dop-shun.  He's around 4 months old, nearly house broken and already knows "sit". 

We're getting in the car after New Year's and heading south to Floor-i-duh so there won't be any new fosters until the spring.  I'll miss having company ;o(f but I do like warm weather.

My Foster Sister, Briska

YES, I'm a foster brother AGAIN!  Can you believe it???  My mama and papa have been bringing home puppies from the Animal Welfare Society a lot lately.  The shelter has been transferring lots of them from the South, where they don't have a very good chance of getting uh-dop-ted into a new home.  I can't remember if I told you already but the puppies have to be c-war-un-teened for 5-7 days before they can be available for uh-dop-shun.  So, Briska came to visit on Sunday.

She's kinda cute, huh?  My papa says she is only 13 or 14 weeks old so she will probably grow up to be as big as me or maybe bigger.

She was very interested in my mama's pic-chur taking box.

I had a little talk with her about letting my mama take her pic-chur.  I told her it was a good idea to make mama "work" to get a good one, so she should play hard to get.  Something like this...

You can take my pic-chur but I won't look at you

or this...

Playing "possum" works, too

Briska is a good listener and a fast learner!

What's that over there?

Ha, you'll have to try again.

This is my good side

We had a good walk together this morning.  It's probably the first time I ever went for a walk with one of my foster siblings.  She walks nicely on a leash, considering she is just a baby.

Then we played outside.  It wasn't like when Penny was here; Briska and I kind of played together, separately.  Does that make sense?

See?  She ran around and I ran around but we didn't spend a lot of time running around with each other.  It was still fun and we both got tired.

My papa says she will be going up for uh-dop-shun on Thursday. I will miss her but I bet there's another puppy or two waiting to come to Maine and visit with me.
