I don’t know what all the fuss has been about with my story! Hear me out, ‘cause I’m gonna set everyone straight.

I have been a foster dog in GLBCR for WAY TOO LONG!! It is about time I go to a home I can call my very own! I am an active dog, but once I am comfortable with my inside routine, I settle down nicely. Of course, before that I must entirely empty the toy basket and squeak each and every toy. I specialize in “killing” the toys by shaking them ferociously! I LOVE a good chew on a nylabone, and I *really* love stuffed Kongs! Because this winter has been SO snowy and SO cold, I haven‘t been able to play outside as much as I would like – and I really like to play in the snow!

I’ve met a few dogs in the home I’m in, now. I can play rough, and at times I “talk” with a deep growl. There are FOUR teeny dogs, here, and I’ve been with them all. The teeniest one (4#) snarked at me, once, and it surprised me, so I backed off! I’ve seen their old cat, and I’d like to meet her, but since she’s old they haven’t let me. So, I obsess about seeing her. (Scout probably needs a “dog-broke” cat, or one that doesn’t run from dogs- Pam)

I love, love, LOVE Frisbee!! I’ve even been started on the basics! I can go out for the really long throws and catch them. I can jump over your leg to catch a tossed disc. I can even catch almost every flipped disc in something called a “butterfly”! Scott Jones from Michigan Disc Dogs took me for a “test drive” and pronounced me a great Frisbee Dog project! He even said I do some things better than his own dogs! I can hardly stand to watch other dogs playing Frisbee!

I don’t have to do Frisbee, though. Casual fetch games with Frisbees or balls are a blast for me! I *love* to play in the water, and I could even be a Dock Dog (or just do it for fun!).

I would really like a home where my people are active in some way. Frisbee, fetch, running, maybe try agility (I saw a dog jumping at the Disc Dog competition, and I REALLy wanted to do that, too!!). Or Treiball. Or Flyball. I’ve never done these things, but I’m game to try them!

I know my basic commands (sit, down, stay, come) as well as wait, get back, kennel-up, shake, off, lie-down, go-potty, go-poop, and more! I respect my people, and just a firm voice is all that is needed to put me back on track. I love to meet new people, and I will sit to greet them. Older kids have been fine for me. If I hear or see something unfamiliar or strange to me, I will bark at it. I can be a great guard dog, but you need to be ready to set limits on me (like “knock-it-OFF!!”). I am comfortable in my crate, though I very much want to be out with you! I *will* go crazy barking at and herding the snow shovel, vacuum, broom, whatever, so I’m not allowed to be out when those things go on. I would probably be the same with a lawn mower, tractor, or car.

I was REALLY hoping to find my best friend for Christmas. Maybe it will happen for Valentine’s Day?? After all, red REALLY looks good on me!!
