Hey guys! It’s me, Valentino! You know what they say about mullets, right? Business in the front, party in the back? Well I’m the puppy version, ‘cept I’m the reverse… Plain old traditional black business in the back, and black, white and pink party on the front! I’m totally working the white pinstripe on my chest, and check out my puppy belly! With this kinda style I was all ready to go when it came time for the surprise party my sisters planned for my foster momma (my mom Lola helped too)! I wasn’t too into the arrangements (who really cares what time the party starts, as long as I’m there when it does) but when it comes time to turn on the taps and drink up, I’m your guy!

Just between you and me, there is a little strategy to the belly shot, too. I’ve got a side wager going with my sisters about who can come up with a sponsor first, and I’m pretty sure the tummy shot is gonna seal the deal for me. Plus, I think it’s pretty important that me and my forever family share the same values, so I want to make sure I place a strong emphasis on my belly! That’s where the food goes after all!

Mr. Valentino is a chubby little trouble-maker, but a lover like his namesake! Less than a week ago, he was struggling to reach the tap for his supper as you can see in this new video. By yesterday, he was successfully scaling the walls of the high-tech puppy restraint system (read: gate) that has kept him in the pen up until now. No chance FM will be able to put that genie back in the bottle, so from now on her creative containment skills will be in constant conflict with Valentino’s mission to resist, evade and escape! May the force be with you, FM!

All three of the pups are getting teeth (which most moms would agree is a good time to wean!), and are enjoying eating (Playing with? Bathing in?) the food mush FM serves up a few times a day. They toddle around the puppy pen like drunken sailors, bumping into each other and occasionally falling over on their roly-poly bellies. Check out the puppy playtime in this video. Valentino says if you are wondering which one he is, you should just “look for the cute one!”

Whew! I’m finally recovering from the big party! All I did for days after the fiesta was sleep and drink – You know what they say about hair of the dog that bit you and all that…. Now that it’s been a week or so, I’m feeling a little perkier and ready to venture out for some action. We’ve moved home base off FM’s couch and onto the floor where I can do some investigating without getting into too much trouble. The new digs are pretty nice! There are warm blankets, some toys and stuff to look at, and my sniffer gets a workout now that I can move around a bit.

I checked with FM today to sort through all the apps that felt their scratching hands and food supply would be a good match for my tummy, and guess what? No apps for me! I’m thinking maybe my name is a bit complicated to spell. If it is easier for you, you can address your request to the “cute puppy” and I’m sure those placement folks can figure out where it belongs! I’ll be waiting…
