Rain, Rain Go Away

“Rain, Rain Go Away, Come Again Another Day” Hi friends. My foster mommy has been singing this little song to me a lot lately. It has been kind of rainy here of late and I am a little fearful of rain.

Why, just yesterday I tried to climb into the dryer to hide from the pesky rain drops. Mommy opened the door and inside were t-shirts, underwear and socks – all very cozy to sleep on I think and they smelled so fresh and clean – what pup could resist. So, I put my big head inside, then my front feet and then I put my back foot on the rim to hoist myself inside my cozy little cave where I would curl up nice and tight, safe and sound, snug as bug in a rug, ya know? But, alas, my sweet little cave was not to be. Mommy squealed, “No, What are you doing??” which really echoed inside my sweet little cave so I backed out and gave her my “What?” face.  She gave me her confused face – Ahh, I love to keep mom guessing.

I love to keep her in shape too! Earlier she took me out to potty between the scary rain showers but when I was in the wooded part of the yard trying to take care of business the sky roared really loud and I got scared. I ran to the farthest corner of the yard and curled up in my tiny, little ball of fear as I am wont to do when the rain happens. She dashed to my little corner and tried to convince me to come inside where she said it was much safer. But, I wasn’t budging; the sky was really scary looking so I was going to ride out the storm right there and she was more than welcome to join me. Once again my plan was foiled, drat! She stuck her arms under my belly (into all the leaves and bugs I was laying on) and scooped me up. She held me tight against her and started weaving her way thru the woods.

Now, at this point I became even more worried because I realized as limbs and leaves were slapping me in the face and butt that mom was wearing her big, ugly, heavy, rubber snake boots and she could have easily fallen while toting me along, I am precious cargo, you know! So, we emerged into to the clearing of the yard and she finally put me down (thank goodness) so I could walk the rest of the way into the house. I don’t know what was more scary the rain or having my 60 pound ass hauled thru the woods by someone wearing big, clumsy boots. She was very tired after that though so I did my part to keep her in shape! She will thank me later…I think.

So, I end with my usual “tail”: I am up for adoption! And, yes, all THIS could be yours!! Check out www.fugeesrescue.org for more info or just ask my foster momma, she can talk about me for days and days and days.

New Experiences for Me

Hello Friends! It’s been a little while. Going to work with mommy takes a lot of my blogging time but now she is free to be with me all the time again and I am so happy about that.

I had so much fun working with mommy, I met a lot of people and saw several doggys and helped hand out hundreds of t-shirts! People were so nice to me. I like it when people are nice to me.

Mommy has taken me to the park a few times. We walk laps and I pee on bushes. Today I met a nice lady who gave me pets and compliments, the other day we were there and we walked past a man who said I was beautiful. Mommy is so proud of me.

The other day we had real bad storms here. I went to my “safe place” that I go to when it rains. I was all snuggy there until mom came up and said I had to come downstairs because there was a tornado close by. I looked at her and said, no thanks, I am good here. She didn’t listen, she picked me up and carried me downstairs to the bathroom and placed me on a blanket. She turned on my Zen Dog music, turned on my Ocean Waves sound machine and turned on the mood lighting for me. I was all snuggly in there and mommy was happy because if the tornado came I was safe. Well, I am happy to say the tornado missed us but did do major damage all around us. We said prayers for the animals and people in harms way that they are ok.

I had a major breakthrough last week. I got on the couch and snuggled up to Daddy! WOW, I had never done that before. I was so close to him that when I licked my paw, I was licking his pants too. Mom and Dad were stunned and shocked! No body moved for a moment because they didn’t want to scare me away. I don’t know what the big deal was, I like Daddy it’s just hard to remember that some men are nice like my Daddy and not like my former owner.

I am two weeks away from being finished with my heartworms treatment. I can’t wait til I can run and play in the back yard with mommy and daddy. We have tennis balls and rope toys just waiting for me to be all better.

Mommy made me some super cool baseball cards to give to potential adopters. They have my picture on the front and my “stats” on the back. She is going to print them out and carry them with her when we are out and about in case somebody likes me and wants to take me home forever. Speaking of my forever home, do you know anyone who needs a great boy like me to love forever? I promise you won’t regret making me a part of your family. If you want more info about me please ask my mommy she can tell you all about me, Laz! You can also contact Fugee’s Rescue at http://www.fugeesrescue.org/.

Thanks for reading about me.

Working Class Dog

Hi friends, I am so excited! I am a working doggy now. I go to work with mommy at the SPCA and I give t-shirts to people.  She says I do a real good job. I am thankful to Miss Mondy for making it ok for me to work there. You see, I am not a SPCA doggy, I am a Fugee doggy but the SPCA works for the good of all doggies and that means me too! Miss Mondy loves me I think.

I have so many new, exciting experiences since I am a working dog now. I met many people, got many pettings and tons of treats! I met preschoolers and I liked them!! Most kids kind of scare me because they move really quick but these were calm and let me sniff them and I licked the little girls hand, she was nice. I also met some special needs friends and I liked them too! One man had a ball hat on and he scared me…until he took off his hat, it was all good after that. He is my homeboy now. I have seen a lot of dogs too. Penelope was a dog I met who said bad words to me and of course I had to say some back. But the other doggies didn’t really bother me at all. Mommy was so proud of me.

I was making eyes at all the ladies behind the desk too. They are nice and I like them lots! My Fugee Momma works behind the desk, I have her to thank for my life! She rescued me from solitary at the county shelter and gave me a new life. I love her forever, she’s a nice lady!

So today I am getting my LAST heartworm treatment! Mommy is excited for me and I am excited that she is excited for me. I have to be rest for one month and then, look out world I can run and play and romp and fly! I had a rough life before my foster mommy brought me home and every day now is happy! Every day now I get healthier! Every day now I get loves and plenty of food and a soft, comfy bed or couch or chair. Now, I just need a loving forever home! That is my goal in life to have a forever home. Everyone needs a goal. Please tell everyone about me. Somebody out there has to have a goal of having a handsome, sweet boy just like me, don’t ya think?
