Hello Everyone - It's me Sandy

I know I have not updated my "blog" for more than a week, but I have been on an amazing adventure!  We went to this place called "the lake."  We had a long ride in FD's truck and I slept the whole way.  If there is a dog heaven on earth, I think it is the lake.  The lake is an amazing place where there are lots and lots of people, children of all sizes and shapes, and more critter smells than you could sniff in a lifetime.  I could hardly contain myself and did my little "happy dance." We walked around the whole place visting and catching up on what happened over the winter.  I wanted everyone to pet me and I was very popular, especially with the children.  The children came over several times a day just to visit me and pet me.  Everyone commented what a "beautiful girl" I was and loved to feel my soft fur.  I was so tired after Saturday from wagging my tail I slept so sound that I even snored. FM said she didn't know who snored louder, me or FD.

You won't believe this, but I also met some RAGOM fur buddies, Jonah 09-080 and Miley 08-005, and we had our pictures taken for all of you to see. 

I am patiently waiting for my forever family.  FM says I don't have any issues.  There isn't an aggressive bone in my whole fuzzy body.  I truly love everyone from young to old.  I have the "house training" thing down.  FM and FD give me the run of the house when they are home and have been giving me the run of the house while they are gone for several hours.  FD was hunting this past week and I had to stay in the crate for about 5 hours while FM was at work.  FM did come home at lunch time to let me out and then I had to be crated again for 5 hours until she got home from work.  I did great.  FM thinks I could fit into just about any family. I am not very vocal and have only barked a few times.  I would happily share my water dish and food bowel with the resident dog, but FM tells resident dog to keep her nose in her own bowel, although we do drink out of the same water bowel sometimes. I am still on a diet and I am anxious to see if I have lost a few more pounds  which I think I have because of all of the exercise we got at the lake "visiting."  About the only thing I don't know is how I would react to a "kitty", but FM said we could arrange a "kitty test" if necessary.

Gotta go for now, we have to unpack and frankly I need a nap. Hope to hear from someone who is interested in a very sweet senior girl.

Hi Everyone - it's me Sandy!

Wow - where do the days go?  I have been busy adjusting to RAGOM life.  FM said I have a new nickname, it's HAPPY FEET.  I do a little four-footed dance when I think I am going to get a treat, when FM gets my dish of food, or when I try to get another dog to play.

FM says I am a good girl and I hardly ever have to be told "no."  I don't get up on furniture and am quite content to lay next to resident dog or near FM or FD. I have had only one accident in the house in the last week. FM and FD have been giving me the run of house when they are home.   

My nose does get me into trouble once in a while.  I found a dead mouse in the garage, but I brought it right to FD after he said I couldn't have it.

We were out playing in the snow this morning and I made a snow angel.

With my big fur coat the cold snow feels really good.  I am looking forward to Spring, but with the snow today, I have a few more weeks before swimsuit season to shed the extra pounds.  I do the "stair climber" many times a day so that should help in the exercise department.

FM says anyone who gives me a forever home will be very lucky to have me. If you are interested, please contact your placement advisor. If you haven't already filled out an adoption application, you can do so here.

Hello again - its me Sandy.  When I signed off after my last update, I was on my way to take a nap. Here is a picture of me "cuddled up." FM thinks I look like a snuggly Teddy Bear.  I am learning how to be an inside dog again and I am doing very well. Tonight, I went to the door and let FM know I needed to go out to do my duties. FM was very happy and I got doggie treats.  FM has this sign that says "Wipe Your Paws" when you come back inside. I am not too crazy about that, but I let FD and FM wipe my muddy feet.

I also got to help make dinner tonight. FM opened the refrigerator to see what was in there and I found the summer sausage right off. I thought we should have the sausage, but FM said it wasn't part of my diet.  She offered me a carrot, but there was no way I was going to eat a carrot when all I could smell was the summer sausage.  My nose is very good because today I found the shopping bag with "doggie treats" and took them right out of the bag.  I was going to open it, but FD caught me in the act.  DARN!

I also want to let you know I am crate trained. I slept in my crate all last night and FM said I was a really good girl.  So far I have not even barked yet.
