Hi folks. My name is Maui. You can recognize me easily in the group. I have a white stripe on my snout and I am a bit blonder then the rest, but blond is beautiful, right? I am the 2nd largest in the group weighing in at 1 lb and 14 oz. See me next week and see how much I've grown.

Hey me fans!  It’s Maui writing my own update today!  I miss you Momma and FM but this fun place keeps my mind off of it.  Without 9 other puppies in the puppy pen with me there’s a lot of space, which I like because then I can get away from my crazy brothers Kona and Ritter when I’m trying to sleep (they play A LOT).  I’m starting to get a hang of this whole wrestling thing, but I don’t play quite as much as the other two.  Watch me play here!:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXKgFcYjXE4

As you can see, Ritter sorta got the whole wrestling thing WAY before me…… Look at the pic below of me wrestling; PFK mentioned something about an “action shot?”.  Petsitting Fosterkid says I’m uber chubby (She says it’s like carrying around a fifteen pound bowling ball), I’m the biggest of the three, weighing in at 15 pounds (of pure cuteness!). Petsitting Fosterkid says she weighed me Wednesday (three days ago) and I’ve grown 1.4 pounds!  I whupped the other two in growth (they grew only .6 of a pound each).  Petsitting fosterkid also said that I have the dullest teeth compared to the other two, which is good since when I do decide to bite someone it doesn’t hurt that bad!  Time for a nap here so here’s Petsitting fosterkid to finish the update!

Maui is just the biggest little snuggle bug there ever is!  He’s just the sweetest little thing!  When he’s panting he has the cutest little smile on his face, and when I put him in a sit he won’t break until I tell him to.  He’s the snuggliest of the three, and it’s funny how we (humans) pick a favorite, and they pick a favorite and I’m very happy to say Maui picked ME (out of my family)!  Maui is the least independent of the three (Maui, Kona, and Ritter), I’ll take him out of his pen and in the same room he’ll snuggle for a minute, and then he’ll whine to go back with his pack; then I’ll jump in with them and Maui will stay on my lap to his heart’s content:) He’s great at potty training and was the fastest to learn sit.  Maui like most typical retrievers loves water, and out of the three he likes tennis balls the most (and they all LOVE them). They’re all set for a walk; all you need to do is bring a water bottle! Check below for this cute video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pws23CQRLk8

Maui is absolutely adorable!  Plus he’s sweet and loves to cuddle and be with you too.   You are one lucky gal Kerianne! Congrats to you:) Check out his pics below.

Dear Mom and FM,

I’m up in Eden Prairie with my 2 brothers having a 1 week vacation without you.  I miss you a lot, but boy are we having fun!  Think slumber party for SEVEN whole nights!

The first day our petsitting mom and her daughter had a meeting with all three of us at the end of the day to give us a few rules.  Here’s what they said:

#1:  THIS is a shoelace.  It is NOT your chew toy.

#2:  THIS is my sleeve.  It is NOT your chew toy.

#3:  THIS is my finger.  It is NOT a chew toy (yes I’m talking to you Ritter)

#4:  THAT is your brother.  He is NOT a chew toy.

#5:  THIS is my cleaning rag that I’m trying to wipe with.  The three of you do not need to chase it every time I move it back and forth.

#6:  You will NOT play tug of war with the pee pads.

#7:  THAT is the resident dog.  She does NOT have magic milk dispensers on her tummy like your mother.

#8:  THAT is your water dish.  It is NOT a swimming pool.

>It was a little like boot camp, but we all nodded and pretended we were listening. On our second day our petsitting family took us to the baseball field behind their house and we chased the kids all over the place.  It was quite fun, and our petsitting mom said our ears were all flying like bat ears we were running so fast. On our third day our petsitting kid taught us all how to sit.  At that point we had the whole family completely wrapped around our paws and they all declared that we were pure GENIUS when our butts hit the floor.

When we wake up from our nap we let our family know by giving them a lonely yipe, and if they come running we wait until they take us outside to go to the potty.  Then they oooh and ahhh some more and tell us how genius we are again.  If they don’t hear us for a few minutes, then the ONLY place we go potty is on the pee pad in the corner.  Petsitting mom said it’s a good thing we’re all adoption pending because we’re so smart she might just have to keep us all!

Keep checking our page because our petsitting kid said she will write about each of our personalities in a day or two once she knows us really well!

I now weigh 10.5 lbs. Dr Heidi liked my goatee beard.

Went to the vet for the 1st shots and wormer, we are now at 6 weeks old. Foster mom had to bring reinforcements to help load all us puppies and unload at the vet. Thanks to Mary T for the extra help. Dr. Heidi says we are all very healthy and that our Dad must of been a big boy, cause our mom is kinda small. We have appointments to have our spay and neuter surgery for 5 of us on 3/19 and for the other 5 on 3/20. Then we will just wait for our new people parents and siblings to come get us. We sure are meeting lots of nice people, who most say "how do we choose, they all are so cute and perfect."

Mom has decided to hold back the milk and now mom is teaching us not to bite so hard and to play nice. We now eat dry Nurtrisource Lg puppy food 3-4 times a day and most of us are doing pretty good about going potty on the pads.

Went outside for the first time, because vet Heidi says we need to get hardened up a bit and go outside and learn to pee and poop on the grass. We all sure loved the KUDOS and praise when we go potty on the grass, we hold our heads high and get so excited.
