 Moms gotted us a new water dish.  Vis fing are crazy business!  I didn't want to put my snout in it for awhile, but finally gave it a try.  Ven, Super Grover tried using it as a potty!  GAWD!!!

 SFB and I went on a cation at Auntie Pam's.  It were awesome sauce!!!  Saw so many of my friends, had a wot of pway time in her huge yard and everyfing!

Being a foster bruvver, again!

Yesserday, moms and dads went out and ven when vey came home, vey brought a new doggie home!  Vey say she is just our foster.  Her name are "No L".  I fink va "L" stands for "leg" cuz she is missing a leg!!  She are a real beeyootiful girl and is real nice to me, too!  We are fostering her for va group we vowunteer wiff, Illinois Doberman Rescue Plus . 
 Vis is No L and dads.  See, her back leg is gone!  Moms said she gotted hit by a car and ven her leg fell off or somefing like vat.  Aww, poor girl!  Whenever she sees cars, she real wants to chase vem.  Moms and dads said she will need a furever home wiff a fenced yard so she can't get away and chase cars ever again!


She real loves va bed she came wiff.  She is so good and just lies vere, chewing bones or seep seeping.  Aww, good girl!

Vis morning, I was tired of waiting for our formal introduction.  Moms and dads insist on s-l-o-w intros wiff new dogs.  Vey say vat gives us all a chance to sniff each uvver, pway on opposite sides of va gate and everyfing, but no one can get hurted.  Well, I could tell No L is a real goodness girl, so when moms was in va baffroom vis morning, I opened va gate and went in to meet her.  Va look on moms face when she came out was priceless, haha!  I was just hanging wiff my new friend, vo!  Here we are, waiting for cookies.

I just know we will find va perfeck home for vis beauty.  I hope peepow don't worry about her missing leg, cuz she runs and pways just like me and SFB.  She real loves to snuggler, too!! Here is more info about my beeyootiful foster sissy and a wot of pictures.

Keep an eye on my Facebook, I'm sure we will have a wot of pictures of No L vere!  Also, consider vowunteering in your community, OK??  It makes me feel real goodness when I do!

Being in a parade!

On Memorial Day vis year, me and my whole famiwy got to be in a parade in a pwace called Itasca!  Me, moms, dads, SFB, children#1, children#2, and children#3 all piled into va truckie and off we went to find Itasca and our friends and fellow volunteers from Illinois Doberman Rescue Plus .  When we arrived, I couldn't bewieve how many of my friends were going to be in va parade wiff us!  Luckily, va wetness maker didn't turn on va whole way, so we stayed dry and everyfing.  I told SFB to be a good girl and be nice to everyone, and she did a good job.  I met a wot of real niceness peepow and we have already heard from some of vem who want to adopt.  I call it a good day!  Here are some pics!

It was good to see Auntie Lindsay & Murphy & Lily, Auntie Lauren & Unca Steve, Auntie Pam & Unca Mike & Degas & Cooper, Pat & Linda, Kim, and Alicia!

SFB met a wot of little childrens and was a real good girl wiff vem.  Puppy pants is learning!!

It's real tiring to be in a parade.  All va walking, meeting peepow, trying to pickup all va candy vey are frowing, only to hear moms and dads yell "No HOGAN!!  OUT!".  I gotted a couple pieces down before vey knew it vo, haha!!

Love, Hogie

Fanks to Aunties Lauren & Lindsay for va photos!

Being a fan of hats!

I fink it all started wiff my ears being posted.  Every time moms did vem, she'd say somefing like "what a good, good boy you are, sitting so nice so we can fix your special hat!"  I've loved hats and fings ever since! 
 

 

I'm real luckiness to get so many awesome sauce hats and fings!  Fanks to all my aunties and to moms and dads and va childrens!!

Being a patient

Every now and ven, moms and dads and I go visit Docker Paul.  He is va one who figured out my angry butt disease (Irritable Bowel Disease, for va record, fanks moms!) and he helps me to feel betterness.  He gives me a 'jection of B12 which helps my body process fings better.  Now, I also get to take green jelly beans two times a day wiff my food!  Moms says vey are really called Gas-X, which sounds really silly business to me!

Over va weekend we visited Docker Paul and he says I'm doing great!  Sometines while I'm waiting for him to come in I get nervous and need to snuggler.  Dads is awesome sauce and helps me not be nervous.

Ven Docker Paul comes in and gets on va floor wiff me and pets me all over!  He's a real gentle, nice man and I real like him a wot!  I even bring my puppy, Sarah, to see him, too!  He is at Animal Care Clinic in Algonquin.  If you need a great vet, he's va bestest!!!  Dr. Paul Bierlein (fanks again, moms!).








Once my 'pointment is over, I get a wot of treats from va girls up front and more pets and snugglers.  Ven we head home.  Vat wasn't so bad!!
