Hey Folks, Hip Hop here! I have really settled in, in the few days I have been in my new foster home! After the first couple of nights I now settle down at night really quickly and sleep until I hear someone's feet hit the ground. This can be early if one of children wake in the night, but after a quick pee outside I go back in my kennel and back to sleep.
As a family we are learning about house training, and I am doing really well. I go outside with no problem and pee right away. Apparently I have been told that we have to work a little harder for job #2 but I will gradually get it. I am super duper affectionate and love to be petted. I do get very squirmy when picked up or on someone's lap. I wish these humans would realize.............I need these dancing feet on the floor!

I am somtimes a little lonely for another dog to keep me company, but my foster family does their best to keep me occupied. We did a session of clicker training this week and I did fantastic. I sit really good now and do much better when my humans give me my food. My foster mom said I sit for a millisecond now instead of jumpng all over them and trying to hoover my food before it hits the bowl.


We are working on my leash skills, mostly in the yard and of course my housetraining. I get a little skittish when I hear noises and am very excited to get back in the house (this world is full of new stuff). I love the snow and I like to investigate my surroundings (till there are noises of course!).

My house is very busy with three little boys, ages 2, 5 & 7. I get upset when the littlest is crying, and I cry along with him. Apparently my mom said my lungs are quite LOUD when I do this! I can tell mom thinks it's pretty funny but she doesn't let on that we are so cute crying the blues together. Honestly, I have to admit children are pretty cool......I quite these little two legged humans! Apparently, it is not polite to jump up so my foster family is going to help me work on this!

Gotta run now...........going to practice some new dance moves............I will see if I can master the "moon walk"
