There's a squirrel in the house!!

So when I first came to fosterparent's house, I noticed something very strange....a squirrel in the house!!  Can you believe this?  I tried to tell my foster parents this but they seemed to give it pets and food and stuff.  He is in this metal box thingy that sits in the dinning room.  It took some time of foster parents telling me that I couldn't try to play with the squirrel thing or jump on his metal box but now I know the word "leave it" and with lots of practice and cookies, I can now sit by his cage and smell his little fluffy squirrel body.

He seems to make lots of noise at night time running around his metal box and eats this green stick stuff that comes out of a bag.  I watch fostermomma feed the squirrel every night and sit next to her waiting to see what happens.  Maybe the squirrel wants to play with me too?  Foster brother Crisco and foster sister Roxy always go up to his metal box and give him kisses and the squirrel seems to like this.

I'll keep learning about this squirrel they have in the house and maybe someday he will let me give him kisses too.  It seems strange to have a squirrel in the house...is this something all parents do?

Fosterparents say that the squirrel actually is a chinchilla....whatever that is?!  This chinchilly thing sure looks like a squirrel to me.

My new friends!!!!

I've been with foster parents for 4 weeks now and after lots and lots of time and cookies and patience foster momma says, I get to hang out with my foster sister Roxy and foster brother Crisco!! (Note from fostermomma: we worked on this process over the last 4 weeks)

It was a long process but in the end...I get to hang out with my friends!  We did complete separation, gate thingys, tie down and now leashes on while we all walk around the house.
(Note from fostermomma: the dogs were supervised at all times and did each step in short intervals, always ending on a good note and only moving onto the next step when we were certain all the dogs were ready)

Fostermomma said good things happen when we are all around each other and after time, lots of cookies and kisses from Roxy and Crisco and foster parents, we all get to walk around the house together!  I'm sooooo happy!! Roxy and I snuggle and sleep the day away together. She loves to cuddle. And Crisco sure gives lots of kisses and cleans my face really nice...he's so cool and BIG!

She has a favourite chair she likes to sleep in and she shares it with me so I can look out the window and sometimes nap too.

I can't wait to tell you all about my adventures with them.  It's going to be so much fun.  I just love my new friends xoxoxox

S is for sleeping......zZzZzZz

It's Rewbynn again...like the sammich!
I'm on the road to a great recovery eating lots of mushy foods and sleeping a whole lot!  I'm all done my medicine that fostermomma was giving me but I'm feeling much better.  My face is back to normal and I look like a Rewbynn once again...Seeee!! This is my upside down big ears face (my eyes look silly from the flash)

I had a big weekend, going for a nice long car ride which I slept most of the way there and back but sometimes had a peek to see if we were almost there.

Fosterdad likes to take me for car rides and fosterparents say I'm so good in the car, I love to sit and watch whats going on or take up the whole back and relax.

I got to meet lots of new people and even someone that was my size.  He was very nice and let me come to him.  I then cleaned his entire face and ears too!  It was so much fun hanging out with all these new wonderful people.  Everyone cuddled me and pet me so nicely.  There was so much excitement that I had sooo many naps, I actually slept the majority of the days on the couch with someone...

In my crate....I'm in there somewhere ;)

After my naps, we would go outside so I could use the bathroom.  But then, more belly rubs and cuddles in the shop with fosterdad!

I love to sleep across fosterdad's lap, next to him or take his spot completely on the couch and lay on my back snoring as loud as an elephant fostermomma says.

I was kind of sleeping while I wrote this and its way past my bed time......time to go snuggle with my big blue donut in my crate for the night. ZzZzZzZzZz

Recovery.....

Sorry for not posting anything last night everyone but I was just sooooooo sleepy.  I am now recovering from my surgeries and feeling kinda yucky.  My face is really swollen and foster momma says I kinda look like a Shar Pei with my face like this! ;)  She says I'm still just the most handsome of fellas but all that swelling has changed my identity.....kind of like a superhero that wears a mask I think.  I feel like a superhero...now that I'm neutered and just as cool as all the other rescue dogs. 

Foster momma made me the most delicious of breakfasts this morning.  I was just so hungry.....it was all mushy and smelled amazing.  Foster momma said I have to eat soft things for the next while until my mouth feels better and heals.  She soaked my kibbles and then put this awesome stuff that came out of a can into it and then put it into a machine that made it spin round and round and was really loud but then when it was done, it was like a big mushy bowl of deliciousness!! See?!! Yummmm

I also have to have all kinds of meds....there is white pills, pink pills, little pills, big pills, liquid stuff and I have to take them twice a day.  I don't much like them but foster momma puts them in my mushy bowl of deliciousness so I don't really notice.

Foster momma and dad bought this new amazing bed for me to sleep on.....I just curl up in a little round ball and dream away on this big comfy bed.  It's so soft and really helps me relax since I have ouchies at both ends.  Foster momma and I cuddled really nice together on the big comfy bed this morning.  We had a nice nap together since neither of us got much sleep...she kept checking on me and I moved around a lot trying to make my crate extra comfy last night.

Foster momma came home today with this round thing.  It goes around my neck. She kept saying to me to stop licking at my boy parts and I didn't know why but when she came home with the round thing, she explained....said she didn't want me to get an infection and we need it to heal quickly and nicely which would be better for me.  The round thing that goes around my neck doesn't let me lick my boy parts.....that made me kinda sad so I just lay here and stare at foster parents hoping someone takes it off.

I'm not supposed to play, run, jump, chew on anything or bother with my ouchie parts which I guess is okay because all those meds make me kinda sleepy anyways.....I think I'll just nap the rest of the day and get lots of smooches and cuddles.

Thank-You!!!!!

Happy Easter to everyone!! I hope everyone had a great long weekend....I sure did! I got to be outside lots and enjoy some cuddles, lots of sleeping in and the sun!

I was so tired from all the fun outside that I slept in the car while Foster momma and dad drove home from our delicious Easter dinner....I got lots of cookies!

Foster momma gave me the greatest news that some very nice peoples sent in some electronic monies to help get my teeth fixed and so I wanted to give a big thank-you to the wonderful peoples. Foster momma took a picture of me with my thank you sign but in case you can't read it, Thank you to Leigh, Stef, Dan and The house Hippo Eugene!!

Tomorrow is my big day and Foster momma says I get to go for a car ride, see the doctor's house again....oh how I love the smells at his house and see the pretty ladies that give me cookies! I'll let you know tomorrow how I'm feeling. I will have to get Foster momma to help me do my blog because I'm going to be soooo sleepy. Foster momma says I'm getting my teeth pulled, neutered and get my vaccines tomorrow....she says it's what's best for me. Neutering doesn't sound like that much fun but Foster momma and dad say that all the cool rescue dogs do it so once I heard this, I wanted to be as cool as them! Foster dad says he's going to cuddle me lots when I get home from the doctor's house.

Time for me to get lots of rest before my big day tomorrow!! Lots of slobbery kisses and tail wags

xoxoxox Rewbynn - like the sammich!!

Doctor....fix me please!

I'm soooooo tired and feel icky.  The past few days I haven't been enjoying anything, not even cookies or kibbles.  Foster parents got my breakfast all ready for me this morning and I tried really hard to eat it but it just hurt so much to chew it.  Foster momma put water in my food and even beef broth last night......it smelt delicious but I'd rather just lay down and sleep all day and get lots of cuddles.  I've also been gagging a lot and then heaving like my belly wants to get sick but nothing come up but slober.  Foster momma said it was time to head to see the doctor......did that mean a car ride?

Its so much fun to get ready.  To leave I have to get on my leash, this thing foster momma calls a harness and then the muzzle!  Firstly, I DON'T like this thing but I'm as perfect as an angel to have it on because then I get cookies.  On the way to the doctor's I got to watch out the windows and see all the other people and even got to see another four legged friend walking by!

The doctor's house was nice and SOOOOO many smells.  I think a lot of pretty girls have been here before because I smelt soooo many of them and that was just outside of the building.  Once we got inside, I met a whole bunch of really nice ladies that gave me pets and COOKIES!  We walked right back into another room where I had to stand on this strange flat thing that told me I was 48lbs!!!  Can you believe it??  All muscle of course! ;)  I sat in this good smelling room like a really good boy waiting for the doctor but really wasn't feeling well so I laid down to rest.

When the doctor came in, he was tall and seemed very nice.  He got down on the ground with me and let me give him lots of kisses.  I let him look in my mouth since foster momma said it was okay and she gave me cuddles while he did this.  Doctor found out why I've been feeling so sick.....I have 3 rotten teeth and they need to come out!  Can you beleive this?  Doctor says my nerves are exposed and it must hurt a lot...it does! And that I'm gagging from salivating so much because my mouth is so sore.  See??!!!!!!

I got so many cookies for being so good but really I didn't want them...it just hurts so much.  Foster momma told me that I needed to have my teeth out so that I could feel better but I also had to take some medication until then so I don't get an infection and also to help with the pain.  I don't like the taste but foster momma wraps them up in ham so I bear the pain and take them anyways since it smells so good. 

Foster momma said I have to go in next tuesday to be neutered....excuse me???! Did I hear right?? Neutered....we'll talk about that later, get all my vaccines annnnnnndddddd.........have my teeth pulled.  If I don't go in and have them done, I could get really sick. :(

All of these things cost lots of monies foster momma says and we need help to pay for it!  I really don't want to feel icky for much longer....I love and want to eat but my mouth hurts so much....can anyone please help foster momma and the wonderful ladies that saved me give some monies to help get doctor man to make me feel better??  Can you help??

Foster Parent to do List!!

Hey, it's Rewbynn......like the sammich and I'm just as unique as the spelling!  I've been with my foster parents for 1+1+1+1+1=?? unnn well a few days now and I thought I would tell you a bit about my experiences so far......

When I first came to my foster parent's house, I was so excited and wanted to smell all the wonderful things in my new space.  I just couldn't stay still....Foster parents said I was just soooo wiggly.  I loved to wiggle so much that I hurt my tail from wagging it that foster momma had to put this stuff on it.  She cut out hearts and put them on there too because she said it will help it heal faster! Seee!!!?!

They said that my bedroom was in the basement.....the basement?!  This didn't sound very fun at first and then I found out that I had my very own bed to sleep on (I didn't have a bed where I was before so I slept on the cold floor), my own bowls, chewies and something called a crate.......have you ever seen one of these things before??  Foster parents told me that this was where I could relax and have my own safe place to sleep and dream of all the fun I will have.  I really didn't like this idea because then I couldn't be near foster parents and cuddle them so I screamed as loud as I could to get them to come to see me and even figured out how to open this crate thing! see....the doors open.  Who says you need opposable thumbs to open doors??

When foster parents came down to see me, I was standing at the bottom of the stairs wagging my tail as hard as I could.  I just really didn't want to sit still at all.  Why couldn't I cuddle with them all night  and give them lots of smooches like earlier?! Foster momma came down and spent time with me laying on the floor until I was fast asleep.  She whispered to me that her and foster dad had to make something called a "Foster Parent to do List"........she kept saying to me that I was safe and loved and it only gets better from here.  Her voice was so nice.  

I slept while she wrote the list and she reviewed it with me when I woke up screaming as loud as I could for them to come cuddle some more.

   

After some much need cuddles, she moved my bed into a different kind of crate thing....it was more like a box with windows and a door (note from foster momma...a plastic airline crate was used as Rewbynn seemed more comfortable in it)....I actually didn't mind this one.  Foster momma gave me so many cookies and with all the exciting things I was soooooo sleepy and could barely keep my eyes open.  I went in my crate only for lots of cookies of course and fell fast asleep with foster momma sitting on the chair next me and I slept all night in my comfy new crate thing.

Time to dream the night away..... ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzzzz
