Happy Happy to Me!

Yesterday was my birfday! I am a whole 1 now! Yeah me! My peeps let me have a party.

I invited Lily Cat, but she declined (she hasn't figured out how cool I am yet)


So, it was just me and Lester on 4 feets.



It was kinda embarrassing to only get the old man to come. I gotta make some friends in this town!

After some relaxin by the pool, it was time for presents on the futon (cause that's where presents should be opened)



My really cool pressie - even had my name on it!


Hmmm... What's in here?? Toys! Fun!




Wow! After all that excitement, I need some sleep!

Happy Birfday to me!

Settling in

Don't worry about me! I am settling in just fine!



(Foley lying spread eagle on the bed)

So far, I taught the kitties to share their food with me and took care of one evil wooden statue. It's tough work, but someone's gotta do it!

What do you mean?

What do you mean that I am not doing this right? I don't get it? I thought parks were for relaxing. What makes a dog park different? Why is everyone laughing at me?



(Foley lying down in the dry grass of the dog park, watching the other dogs play)

Well, you all keep on laughing! I am gonna get back to that relaxing!

Big News!

That's right! I am sporting a new collar! Why? Because I decided that the Guide Dog life isn't for me.

I know! Crazy! That is all I have known! But, after so many months of being sick, recovering from being sick then having surgery and recovering from surgery, I got a ton of time NOT being a guide dog puppy!

Sure, it's fun going places. But, to get most places, I have to pass cars. Cars are stupid! They are ok when I am inside it, but those just sitting there, with their tummies growling as I walk by freak me out! Seriously stressful!

So, Dagan and I have been talking. He still gets to do fun stuff, but he says there are lot less growling cars in his life now, as a career change dog. That sounds good to me!

The one bummer of it that I have to move. I am super bummed about that! But, I get to go live with my grandparents. Kinda weird what this world is coming too, huh? Grandparents raising puppies. But, living the retired life before my first birthday sounds good to me! I move soon! Can't wait to start my new life! (but super glad that I get to see all my family forever!

Recovery

A weekend of this:

Plus:

Leaves a Foley feeling like this:

Too tired to wag,

Dear Mom

Dear Mom,
After nearly walking my paws off at IKEA, it would have been nice to get a backseat spot so I could curl up and sleep. I am not impressed with these seating arrangements. Where can I file my official complaint??




Hmmm??

Lending a Helping Paw

As much as I like being told that I am cute, there is something I like more: being told that I am cute by people who Mom is serving our community with and those they are serving. When people don't have enough money for food, they don't often have enough money for a dog. So, yesterday, while Mom helped hand out food at the food pantry, I hung out with my cute face on.


(Foley lying on his side, under a table, next to a roll of produce bags)

It's hard being so adorable, so after getting my fill, while giving some puppy love, I sprawled out for a nap. Nothing feels better than a nap after serving your community!
