11-22-09:  RAGOM is welcoming several new 7 week old Golden/Lab puppies.  The two guys I am fostering Jack (09-475) and (Rocky 09-476) were brought in with Charlie and Gus 09-477 and 09-478).  They came up from Iowa after being surrendered by a family that had an accidental litter of pups (this is why we spay and neuter).  For their profiles, I'll use the same info for both but when you look at the pictures, Jack has the green collar and Rocky, blue (The main pictures do match the name of the dog). 
 
I've had these two guys for a week now and THEY WON'T BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION UNTIL THEY ARE 8 WEEKS OLD.  These guys are typical puppies- they love to play, eat, sleep.  These guys eat up all the attention they can and try hard to get our 2 resident goldens to play but they are a little afraid of them because they are so much smaller than they are.  We also get a lot of people that stop to check them out when we are outside playing so these two are well socialized!    When playing, it's all about playing with whatever they can pull around (blankets, newspapers etc) stuffed babies, ropes or balls.  Outside their favorite place to be is in the garden, chewing on flowers, branches or mulch so we are constantly redirecting.
 
Rocky and Jack sleep in a crate and because we leave the crate door open, will go in when they are looking for a little quiet time.  They love to cuddle and their favorite place to sleep is on a blanket on the couch or with FM and FD. They have done well learning stairs and are getting better about pottying outside.  We do try to make sure they get out every couple hours- even during the night, the longest they have to wait is 5 hours.
 
What these guys need in their furever homes is pretty easy because of their age-

  1. These guys get along great with my resident goldens so they can go to a home with or without another dog
  2. Kids- any age will do for these boys.
  3. A fence will not be required as long as the family is willing to train him to stay in the yard but if you are like me and have a picket fence, you will need to keep a good eye on him until he gets a little bigger because both of these guys walk right through as if the fence were non-existent.


We've had enough play, we're ready to cuddle on your lap

Updates

Monday, December 7, 2009

Hey Everyone, it's me, Jack-Jack. Foster mom says now that I am 9 WEEKS OLD, I can now do a little of my own update. She thought since she forgot a few details in my last update, I could probably do a better job.

One thing she wanted me to mention is my birthdate is 10/3/09 so that means I am now 9 weeks old and ready to move on to my furever home. Since our last update, my brother Rocky and I have been very busy boys. We got to go to Duluth for Thanksgiving and boy did we ever meet a lot of new people. It was a long drive to Duluth and just to be sure we were safe, we got to ride in a crate. We ended up sleeping most of the way so foster mom said we did really well for such a long drive.

A few days ago we went to work with FM so she could show us off, boy did we ever cause a traffic jam in the reception area. There seem to be tons of dog lovers at Aveda and we just LOVED the attention!

We had another outing on Saturday, we went to a RAGOM event in Ham Lake. I think I like hanging out with people more than unfamiliar dogs. I love to play with my brother and fursisters but I tend to be a little nervous when I am around new dogs. Once I get to know them I'll be OK but I just love the people- FM says that is the Golden in me, she thinks I have more golden features while my brother Rocky, who has more Lab features.

We continue to explore and learn everyday and one thing we have been learning about is stairs- we have done pretty good going up the stairs but going down is still pretty scarry for me so I think I'll give it another try when I get a little bigger. Speaking of getting bigger, FM says we have doubled in size since we arrived and we went to the vet on Friday and they told me I weigh 15lbs now and I am in good health.

 
We are learning stairs and as you can see, I am doing better than Rocky but I have a few pounds on him!

We meet a lot of people while we are out and about but I am still looking for my forever home. If you think I would be a great addition to your home, please contact your placement coordinator. I think the best Christmas present I could get is a new family.

 
I just love to cuddle up with a BIG stuffed animal
for a good long snooze.		  
Ahhhh....
this is good too!

PS- when you look our pictures, remember, I'm the one in the GREEN collar.
