Update from His New Foster Home

It's been a week now that Jimmy has been at his new foster home. This is what they had to say about him.

"Jimmy has been settling in well. I believe he and Oxford have worked out the lead dog role, the leader being Ox. We have had no destructive behaviors at all. He has been crated during the workday. He is reluctant and may whimper a bit, but he gets over it pretty quickly. You do want to be careful about him getting out from under a gap in the fence as we found out Saturday.(Note: At my home he didn't try find a way out, but I had 4 girls vs. competing for an Alpha role with a male.) However, he stayed within a couple of blocks and when spotted, he came when called very nicely.

We have been doing even more work on his recall. We took him to a fenced dog park on Sunday night. At the dog park it was awesome watching them work as a team sweeping the high grass for birds. We did some hide and seek finds for freeze dried pheasant wings. Oxford pointed and Jimmy backed him up and honored him almost like he has done that before.

He is a really laid back dog for his age and breed. He has barked but maybe once or twice. He loves to sleep on the end of the bed or on the couch next to you and has been our little shadow. He loves stuffed toys and rawhide bones. He is very playful with Ox they have a couple wrestling matches in the morning and before bed. They love to chase each other in the yard. I believe he loves having a playmate in Ox but he also loves people and is content to be an armrest next to you on the couch all evening."

New Play Pal

I've gone to a foster home that has another dog, Oxford that found his forever home and needed a playmate to burn off his energy. Well, we hit it off great from the first paw in the yard.
Cooling off after some serious play. It's funny too, 'cuz before I came Ox would never go in the pool. See what infulence I have on other dogs

I can make friends with anyone. See! Dodger and I are buds too.

'Ya Know

I'm thinkingthat chow time is a good thing. Glad there aren't any more dogs though. It's kinda crowded.

I Think I'm One of Them

It seems that after a month, at least one of them wants to play with me.

Ali doesn't like me playing with Sienna and she let's me know it too.

Yummy!

My First Bird Test

This was my first test to scent out the birds and see if I have potential for hunting. While it's not a sure thing or a perfect test, I did find it, but mostly I had fun with everyone else.

They're Coming Around

It's taken a bit to convince them I'm okay to play with, but they're starting to play with me.

One Of Us Needs A Furever Home

Can you tell which one of us, Incredible Super Pups, is waiting for their special furever family and which one looks pretty settled in?

For a little down time from running around or playing with stuffies, a chew stick sure passes the time away.

It's Been A While, But....


This isn't as big as my last water bowl I got to play in.I like to watch for squirrels
I can even point for one.
I can spot them in the trees.
I'll even jump up to let them know I'm down here.


most of all, I like being around people, and other dogs. I would love for a family with a young dog like me, so I have someone to play with and chase around the yard with. Someone that will take me to dog parks so I can run off my energy, or the very least walk me for an hour or take me jogging with you. Since I'm still young, I need exercise on a regular basis. If you have a fenced in backyard that will work too. So what do you say? Am I the dog for you? I have lots of love to give you.

I'm Getting Closer As My Journey Begins

This big red truck is going to take me to my new life.

Don't worry, I'm not afraid. The people doing this are real experts and take good care of all who travel with them.

I even get to stretch my legs.

Talk about being in your face :o) I love people and cameras! HI, I'm Jimmy.

Just want to show you, since people tell by looking at our teeth, I'm healthy and young. Just look at these pearly whites.

Want'a dance? I do a mean fox trot.

This comes naturally to me. I've been told I'm a bird dog. Don't know, but I do like to scout things out.


Holly Molly! I've never seen a water bowl this big before.

Just check'n to make sure I can really play in my water bowl. Right?

When I'm all dry, look how handsome I am. Oh Yeah! I love kids too. They are so cool to play with. Say Cheese!
