Foster : Larry-Day 5

Five days with Larry, and he has settled in nicely. He is now coming to work with me, where he loves to get pets from clients and then he snoozes while we work. After work, Larry enjoys some fun and games, his favorite is chasing things….balls, stuffies and frisbees. He is very good at catching them and bringing them back but likes to play a good game of “keep away” before relinquishing his toy. He is very alert and always ready for you to throw a toy.

Larry play growls when he plays keep away, but it is all in good fun. I have taken toys out of his mouth when he stands still long enough. We’re trying to get him slimmed down to his ideal weight, so lots of running around the yard and walks are on Larry’s schedule. He loves to go for walks and gets very excited when he sees the leash.

After some exercise, Larry is content to hang with you (he’s practically sitting in my lap here). At night his favorite thing is to snuggle up next to you on the sofa. Larry also enjoys getting massages and being brushed.

Foster : Larry-Day 3

Larry’s 3rd day with us was very wet and full of rain so he spent most of the day lounging inside. He came to work with me and was the perfect boy, sleeping for most of the day and happy to take a walk in the middle, even though we got quiet soaked.

In the evening Larry was a very good model and let me practice taking photos of him.

 After our photo session Larry snuggled up on the couch to watch a movie with us.

Larry loves to go on walks and gets very excited when he sees the  leash. We’re not sure if he likes riding in the car yet. He is very to get in but he whines a bit during trips. I’m not sure if he’s unhappy about it or just excited.

We haven’t had the opportunity to test Larry with other dogs because he is recovering from kennel cough but he pays no attention to any dogs we have passed by on walks. We’re looking forward to getting out on a hike with Larry this weekend to see how he does.

Larry is one of the easiest dogs we’ve fostered and would make a very good companion. If you are interested in adopting this awesome boy, please contact Homeward Bound.

The Case of the Curious Pup

Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a lovely holiday season and that your 2012 is full of smiles. Here’s a curious pup to get you started..

Who knew lemons could be so enticing to a puppy? She got a couple and played with them for 1/2 an hour:)

Happy Holidays!

We’ve been on a long hiatus with our work schedule, which will keep us away from blogging until the New Year, but we just wanted to pop by and wish everyone Happy Holidays and a wonderful 2012! Looking forward to getting back to blogging in the new year.
