Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da.... BAT EARS!!!

 and more Sis Kisses....

As you can see, I like my crate best of all

Rough Day

Jammer:  I'm having some trouble getting used to being here.  On the one hand, my Foster Parents and Sister are really nice (although sometimes I forget how nice they are and I get scared they're going to hurt me, especially when they move fast).  I got to sleep with my Mom last night and she didn't seem to mind at all when I stretched out and took up most of the bed!  I even slept part of the night on her face!  It was very comfortable, although I'm not sure she liked it as much as I did.  And they feed me a lot of yummy food - more than I've ever had before.  A fellow could get fat around here!  

On the other hand, there are all these weird and scary things.  Like Stairs.  My Mom wants me to go up them each night and down in the morning.  I don't like it.  She ended up carrying me down this morning, and I didn't like that too much either.  And there are all kinds of things that make noises in here, and I don't like that either.  And Murray - you never saw anyone overreact the way he does when I come anywhere near his "space!"   What a crank! 

 Murray:  Just try to steal my food again, Pup, and you'll see what a crank I can be when I really want to!
 
Jammer:  Anyway, sometimes it just seems safer to hang around in my crate.  It's comfortable and nothing bothers me in there.  And I can come out any time I want to check out things that are going on, so it works out pretty well.

By the way, the picture is of me getting some lovin' from my Sister.  She's really sweet.

Razor Jammer is Here!

Jammer:   Hi!   My name is Razor Jammer, and I'm in this new place.  It seems fine, with lots of places to sniff, good food, LOTS of treats and a nice, safe crate to come back to when it all gets to be a bit much.  My Foster Parents and Sister seem nice and give really good scratches.   Especially Dad.  

It took me a few hours to get comfortable around my Foster Family, but I'm starting to think maybe I can trust them -- a few times I thought they were going to hit me, but it turns out all they wanted to do was pet me and scratch me behind the ears.   I've never gotten so many cuddles!   Come to think of it, I've never gotten any at all, and I could get used to this!  The Dogdude Murray, on the other hand, I'm not so sure about.  He keeps giving me the eye, and one time snapped at me when I wasn't doing anything but sniffing around.   Mom told him to chill, and I hope he listens to her. 

I'm pretty tired, it's been a big day, even though I've only been here for a few hours.   More to come tomorrow!

Murray:   Here we go again.  Another pup, running around the house endlessly and then plopping down in my crate whenever he feels like it, without even asking.   So I lie down on the carpet in the living room to have a little peace, not even using one of my dog beds, and even that wasn't good enough for him - he had to come bother me there too!

The good news is, he's a handsome kid, so I know he won't last long here before someone comes along and takes him home with them.   Come soon, PLEASE!!!

Home!!!!

Milo:   Today was quite the day!   First, it was my Foster Daddy's Day, so we had brunch and then took a really nice long walk at a place called Potomac Overlook.  I'm not sure why my Foster Mom and Dad hadn't taken me there before - it was really cool!  Even Murray likes it, and let me tell you, he's very hard to please!

But best of all, when we got back, I met my new Mom!!   I have a Forever Home!  I know everyone in my foster family will miss me a lot (they all got kind of misty eyed and kissed me a lot when I was leaving), but I'm really excited!   In my new home, I'll have a big brother and a sister who's actually a cat, but she can't help it and I'll try to understand.  I'll get to go to work with my Mom and help her out.   We also have a farm where my Mom and her friend raise horses!   This is going to be fun!

My Mom promised my Foster Mom that she'll bring me back for visits, and I might even get to see Murray and her at the Meet and Greet next Saturday in Tysons Corner.   I can't wait to see Murray and tell him all about my new home.  He is going to be soooooo jealous!   Good-bye for now!

Murray:   I'll miss this one, but I think he's going to be happy.  And it will be nice to have my bed back...  Now that I mention it, I think I'll head up there right now and make sure it's as comfortable as I remember....   

Ah Bliss!!

Daddy Scratches

More Daddy Scratches

Milo:   So, I got tired of walking around looking like a dunce and bumping into everything so I took off that stupid cone thing.   I was hanging around and picked up some nice Foster Daddy Scratches.   Ahhhhh.....  

BroScratches

Even though I was a Good Boy and didn't bite my stitches, my Foster Brother's girlfriend stuck the thing back on.  Oh well.   I got some BroScratches for my troubles.  Ahhhh.....

More BroScratches

My other Foster Sister is coming home tomorrow.  I know she'll feel sorry for me and let me take this darn thing off.  Until then, I'm going to practice looking extra put out.  (Don't worry, I'll do a better job of it than I'm doing in Mom's pictures.)

Murray:   Truth be told, I'll be glad when the pup gets that thing off.  He's a hazard.

Rough Day Yesterday

Murray:  Milo's eye and cheek swelled up yesterday for some reason, so when Mom came home she took him to the vet.  She says he has some kind of abscess, which got drained and now seems to be okay.   While he was there, the vet also removed a tumor that Mom had been kind of worried about, even though the doctor said it's probably nothing.   Mom kind of worries about us. 

Anyway, when Milo came home, he had this big hard plastic thing wrapped around his head, which he has to wear for about a week or so.   Mom says it's to keep him from biting the stitches, but it isn't doing a very good job.  One thing it has done pretty successfully is turned Milo into even more of a hazard than he usually is, bumping into all kinds of things because he can't see very well while wearing the Cone of Shame.  I feel kind of sorry for him.  Sort of.

Milo:  I think I'm handling this rather well, all things considered.  Check out my picture.  Could anyone else look so dignified wearing this thing?

By the way, I don't think that vet is all that smart.  It isn't really all that hard to munch on the stitches when I feel like it.  Only now Mom has put some bad tasting stuff on them so I guess I'll snack on something else.

 

My First Time at the Dog Park!  Soooo much fun!
