This morning we did some training exercises. From the pics, you can see how well I listen especially when there are treats involved. I know how to "sit" and "stay" and getting better at "leave it" on walks. I'm working really hard on trying not to pick up the acorns that keep falling from the trees. There must be a bazillion on the ground near my foster house.

My foster brothers try to set a good example during training.  Since they are 10yrs and 2yrs, they have more training experience than I do, which means no excuses for not earning yummy treats.

I think my foster brother, Bailey, is wondering why I've earned the treat and not him.  Doesn't he realize that I was the one listening well?  And that I'm pretty handsome?  Okay, the later isn't a legitimate reason, but he might buy it.

I was at All Dogs Club day care yesterday playing with some of my dog friends, so my mom wasn't able to snap any good pics of me.

Today is a different story.  I'm home playing with my two foster brothers (hound mixes) and, of course, tennis balls!  I'd like for you to see how good I am with the rest of my foster family, so I"ll see if I can get my foster parents to take a few good action shots of us while we're on our walk later today.

I just finished an afternoon in the yard helping my foster mom plant some new flowers and playing some fetch.  I love being out in the fresh air. Unfortunately, I'm so tired that I'd rather nap than enjoy my busy bone.  ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

First, I should warn you that I love tennis balls.  I like other types of balls - soccer, basket, soft, wiffle, but my first love is the tennis ball.

Tennis balls are a must in my forever home!

So, you know I like tennis balls.  Did you know there are lots of games you can play with ball?  Well, I like to play fetch.  I'm a bit of a stuntman when it comes to fetch (as you can see from the picture).  No ball gets away on my watch!  I've also figured out a little game that I can play by myself, but would prefer a buddy to play with me.

Now that I've told you about my first love, I should probably share my profile info:
