11/18/07: Hi everyone - Riley is just an AWESOME dog!! Riley is approx 2 ½ years old and loves to play, be outside, and give lots of lovin' and cuddling.  He is a medium to dark red and is getting over a hot spot.

I went to go pick him up yesterday and he was a lot of fun to meet.  He went into my bag and pulled out my purse, he must have thought there was some money in there (little did he know!).  He jumped right in my car and laid right down and rode just great.  He met the other foster, a Scottish Terrier, and they did great.   They are like Mutt and Jeff, Riley is tall and lean and my Scottie is roly poly, they are funny to watch together.  Riley will go to the vet today to get the once over.  He has already been neutered and is UTD on all of his shots.
 

Riley is used to being in his kennel when you are gone and at night.  He slept in it last night just fine - we never heard a peep from him.  He is used to getting on the furniture, as he jumped right up on it at my house.  He has such a fun personality and is just a hoot to be around.  We have noticed that he does like to be around his people, asks for his rubs and leans in and will even give kisses.

 

Riley says:

Hi everyone, Here are some pictures of me.  As you can tell I am very handsome....At least that is what my foster parents say.  I have been great so far.  I love to play, do not really like to go into my kennel when asked but I'll go there on my own....If foster mom puts my leash on I will go in just fine.  I do bark if outside but that is if there is a different sound or something.  I went to the vet yesterday and I got micro chipped and updated on shots.  I have mild ear infections but we are working on getting those taken care of, I let foster mom put the ear stuff in like a trooper.  I love to play and cuddle.  Foster mom and dad are not sure how I am with kids so they will let you know more later on that.  My coat is nice and soft!!!!

Mr. Riley went to his furrever home on Friday night.  He is now enjoying lots of love from his new Mom and Dad, the D. family of Minnepolis.  He walked right into his new home Friday evening and quickly checked out his new surroundings.  Within minutes he did one of his little quirks, he loves to carry slippers and shoes, and he found one of both his new Mom and Dads.  He is very respectful and never chews them mind you, but just likes to carry them around or back to his crate.  He will trade them for his prized teddy bear or a treat.   Before he left my pack he had one final wrestling match with his pal Indy (07-253).  He must have known he was going somewhere as it seems like he got the best of Indy, see the photos.  Indy would love to have a rematch at a future play date or a RAGOM event.    Thank you Joan and John for welcoming Mr. Riley into your GReat home!  I know he will get lots of love and attention from you both.  After Riley settles in maybe he will get a furr pal of his very own through RAGOM too!   Foster Dad says thank you to RAGOM and all of our supporters for making it possible to help these GReat dogs find their permanent homes!

Riley has been the easiest foster since arriving in my home a little over a week ago.  Riley attended the PetCo event in Burnsville (see photo) and met numerous hardcore RAGOM fans who ventured out in the first major snow of the season!   One particular family liked him soooo much that they came to see him during the Tuesday night storm.  For everyones sake we hope this is not a trend that will continue.  Mr. Riley worked his charms so well Tuesday night, picking up a few shoes (which he never chews), a few toys and then wiggling his butt into his guests for rubs.  Oh yeah, he gave them both some kisses and hugs too.  Well his charms really worked, as his guests called back with delight to say they wanted to make Mr. Riley a permanent member of their family.  Riley will be going to his new home with Joan and John this Friday.   Thank you RAGOM for helping this GReat boy find his furrever home!!!

Riley has arrived to his new foster home.  He wants to thank his former foster mom, Andree, for all the love and care he received while staying with her!!   Riley is a very easy going fine looking young gentleman of a golden retriever.  He arrived tonight and has settled in like he has been part of my pack for some time.  He is sitting at my feet chewing on a rawhide bone while the other three resident dogs explore all of Riley's toys.  Riley has come into RAGOM from a caring home that could not keep him.   Look for more updates as new foster dad gets to know this GReat dog in the next days.  For now here are some pictures of Riley smiling and wrestling with Indy (07-253).
