Kelly here: Well, the holiday weekend was a blast. Food everywhere! I thought I was in dog heaven. My foster mom said I was in "burr haven." She wasn't real happy having to get all the burrs out of my coat. So now it's time to rest up and get ready for Goldzilla. So I'm making sure I get extra rest so I can look my best and lots of paw stickers--let me explain:

To all the RAGOM fans out there…

Goldzilla is almost here, September 14th, and we just want to let you know about something very special happening the day of the event. There will be a large board (near the baseball backstop) with all the pictures of available dogs. You can help by purchasing a foster paw print sticker at the merchandising tent in increments of $10, $25, $50, and $100. Once purchased, you will place the paw print sticker next to the picture of the dog you’d like to support. You will also have the opportunity to write that particular dog a note, which will be posted the dog’s page after the event. This is a great way to show support for RAGOM and a particular dog that may be pulling at your heartstrings. Please consider stopping by the merchandise tent to purchase a Foster Fan Board paw print while at Goldzilla.

Just remember that when you purchase a sticker, please-please-please-please (Kelly, stop begging) vote for me! Here's a picture so you won't forget me.

And I have a little something to say about voting for me at Goldzilla...

FM here: We've been having fun with Kelly and she's starting to really enjoy her surroundings. She's got the routine down and is waiting at the back door, wagging her tail, when I come home from work. Kelly is not a real snuggler actually; she's what we call our closet dog. If you're looking for Kelly, you can find her in our walk-in closet. She literally is in the closet--it's the coolest place in the house. Our closet is now been renamed to Kelly's closet. She is doing well on her seizure medications and is just waiting for her forever family. She walks nicely and does enjoy her walks. Kelly enjoys having another dog around. Even though they don't play a lot, I believe another dog helps Kelly relax while we are gone during the day. Kelly is a great dog and has learned her yard boundaries. Sometimes she tries to be sneaky and go beyond the boundaries, but does come back to me when I call her.

Kelly here: FM just stepped away from her computer, so I thought I would use her phone and take a selfie. What do you think? Oh, darn, I gor my paw in the picture! Oh no,got to go.

Please contact you placement adviser about Kelly. She IS a wonderful dog and a great family member.

Kelly here. What a great weekend I had. I got to go swimming with my resident brother, Russell, and I got to ride around on the pontoon (now I get what the "Pontoon" song is all about). I really don't like to swim, but Russell is showing me how and he swims like a fish or, should I say, a Golden! I'd still rather wade in the water. I've been feeling great and getting compliments on my weight loss. That's really nice to hear because I turn another year older on August 20th. Wow, I'm going to be 3 and I bet you can't guess what I want for my birthday?!?! I'm not saying because then my wish won't come true--you'll just have to guess. Anyway, I had a couple of pictures taken on the pontoon and I still look good even if I'm wet.

Hi, folks. It's me, Kelly. I've been really busy. I spent the weekend at the lake trying to learn how to swim. I was so tired that I overslept and couldn't get out of bed on Monday morning. All this swimming and walking has started to show. People keep telling foster mom that it looks like I've lost some weight. Wow, I'm going to be a knockout when I get to my ideal weight!

Now to the serious stuff:
I just want to let you know that I haven't had a seizure in over two months! My meds seem to be working. I take 400 mg of Zonisamide and 192 mg of Phenobarbital twice a day. I also take 8 mg of Melatonin daily for my Alopecia. My hair is growing back in with a light, soft, fluffy feel. Medically, I'm on track and hopefully things stay that way.

I'm really wanting a furever home! I live with my resident brother, Russell, so another dog would be nice to have around. If you don't have another dog, I kind of need to have someone around most of the time (I can go about 6 hours by myself). I really love people around me. I have been practicing riding in cars and have improved so much. I can go on long rides--with a harness and a few treats, I can go without any problems.

Oh no, foster mom is coming--got to go--later, everybody!
