Hi!  I got a springtime haircut on Tuesday.  This picture is a "before" picture. I will post an "after" picture soon!  The groomer smoothed out my facial hair some; you can still see, in this picture, where I was shaved when my left eye was removed. The groomer said I was very sweet.  And I have had a good week, eating well, walking well, just feeling fine! A week from tomorrow is my first heartworm shot.  I know my foster mom is a little nervous about it;  she says it will be painful, but I am a tough guy!  I will be fine!  Still, please be thinking of me! Thanks for checking in. I hope you are staying well!

Hey there!  Here is a photo of me relaxing.  It is what I do best - passing the time as I move through my heartworm treatment. I am dreaming of my forever home.   Could it be yours?  

When I first arrived at my foster home, I wasn't sure what was going on.  I had been a stray, and then ended up in a shelter in South Carolina, and then traveled to Virginia to my foster home.   Lots of changes in a short period of time.  There were three other dogs in my foster home, and I was nervous!  When they would come close to my expen, I would growl.  Not every time, but sometimes.  Enough growling, though, that my foster mom thought when my time comes to be adopted, I should be the only dog in my forever home. Now, I wouldn't mind being the only dog in my forever home. I will tell you that. I wouldn't mind having all the attention and all the belly rubs.  I don't really need to be with other dogs. But my foster mom has been watching me with the other dogs in the house.  And I haven't growled at them for weeks!  They seem like pretty good dogs to me, and I like them.  So now my foster mom says it is OK if my forever home includes other do

Most people all over the world are confined to their homes right now, and I am confined too, confined to this expen most of the time because of my heartworms.  I need to be kept quiet and still as much as possible.  My foster parents do take me out to snuggle in their laps or for short walks on a leash, and now that I am on some medication that helps a lot with my leg pain, I am enjoying walking around outside even more.  And, because I am a super dog in every way, I am a pretty good sport about my situation. My foster mom has put down soft bedding covered with blankets to make me comfortable. I am in the middle of the kitchen where most of the action is in my foster home.  Every once in a while I bark for a few minutes to remind everyone that I am there but mostly I am quiet and resting.  I am such a good boy.   And thanks for checking in!  Before we know it, I will be through with the heartworm treatment and will be ready to be adopted.  In the meantime, stop back here at
