Hey guys. Just wanted to let you all know that I've kinda been sad lately.... :( Nobody wants me! Not even ONE person has expressed ANY interest in me!

And I've been SO good! I've been pretty reliably going to the door to go potty! And if you look at my pictures, you'll see that I'm walking down ALL the stairs! And this morning, I even jumped off the bed!

My mom said if the fact that I had lice scares you...She'll definitely treat me fully and will keep me until you want to come and get me! All you have to do is say that you might like me and come and see me! I promise I will give you lots of puppy kisses and maybe even a wink! But, no one is doing that and it makes me sad!

I'm so well behaved! I sit when my mom says...And now she doesn't even have to tell me to sit when it's time to go outside! She just says, "It's time to go potty" and I sit by the door SO patiently!

Please, express some interest people! I'm so cute and would love to be your bestest forever buddy!

Hi everybody! Just wanted to drop a quick note and tell you what I was up to this weekend!

I finally started jumping off that scary step! My foster mom put me on the second step this morning and I didn't realize it and jumped real hard and fell on my face. I definitely need more practice with those dumb stairs.

Another cool thing happened over the weekend. I've been sleeping in my kennel and for the past 3 NIGHTS! I've slept ALL night! I woke up once last night and whined a little bit, but mom came out and said, "SHHH!" so I did. Otherwise, they get me so darn tired at 9 or 10 PM that I like to sleep ALL the way till 6 AM!

And when I woke up this morning, my dad took me out to potty. I went pee then fooled him and stated to play outside, so he thought I was done and brought me inside. SILLY. Once I got in, my mom was up and I went back to the door, sat right in front of it and WHINED at her, cuz I had to go back out for #2! She said I did SUCH a good job! :)

My foster mom has started feeding me by hand, and I like that! She says I have to get on a routine of eating twice a day like the grown ups around here. She says I can't eat whatever I want, whenever I want, cause I didn't really eat enough (I'm kinda distractable). So, now I pay attention to her when she feeds me in the morning and again at night. She says I pay attention real well and eat about half a cup then I get bored and run around!

I tend to enjoy the kitty toys the most! They make fun noises and are just my size! I am totally perplexed by this circle thing...It grabs my attention for whole minutes at a time!

OK...So we've got a lot to update as I've grown so much and am SUCH a smart boy!

I am now 12.4 pounds and such a cuddler! My foster mom says I don't really come to my name, but sometimes she thinks I actually sit when she tells me too. As you can see in my pictures, I like to keep my collar on, because it attaches to my leash. And I am TOTALLY into this leash thing, because it means I get to go outside! There's only one problem on the way out: the stairs! They are SCARY! My foster mom puts me on the last step and then she just stands there and looks at me. I cry and tell her, "Come here and pick me up, dummy!" But she doesn't! She tells me I can do it and sometimes I even jump off that incredibly HUGE step! Then it's off to the races! I love to go outside and I always potty right away! I must say, I have no reservations about going inside, but if I'm outside, I do it right away. My tummy still kinda hurts cause I had some worms, but they are readily leaving my system! So, when I'm done going potty, I go crazy running around with my puppy energy! I am learning about these doors and how I have to WAIT to go through them! And then I like to RACE my foster mom up the stairs, as I am WAY better at going up than down! I like to play with this BIG dog here (German Shorthair) and I like my new Bear that mom got me! He's soft for my hard little puppy teeth! I was itchy, so my foster mom took me to the vet. Then she sprayed me with this STINKY spray and now combs me everyday for like 10 minutes! She says I have lice. But it's ok, because it's only for me, not for cats or humans or anybody else. And now I'm not as itchy and I kinda like when she scratches me all over with that comb! She says I have to get sprayed with that stinky stuff again in 2 weeks, just to make sure they're all dead! My coat is getting healthier already, because those silly lice are dying! I know it sounds icky, but I'm still the most lovable guy around!

I sleep in a crate at night, but sometimes I wake up and get scared of the dark and cry. My foster mom comes to get me and takes me potty. I like that, but it wears me out, so I go back to sleep. The crate's not too bad a place to sleep. My foster mom says she's thankful I never potty in there!

As for these other things in the house, they are my size and I like to romp around with one of them! They remind me of my brothers and sisters. I still haven't found them around this place, so these cats will do! Sometimes they don't want to play with me and that's ok, so I go play by myself (or take a nap!). I'd really like to meet you, so if you'd like to meet me, please send an email to placementatragom [dot] org!
