Yappy Thanksgiving!!

Well, this is my first Thanksgiving here and I am thankful this year for my new life in rescue. I really don't want to talk about my past so I'm just focusing on the present. I am really thankful for all those people who kept their paws crossed and said doggie prayers for me while I was having my own adventure in Wichita Falls earlier in the month. Ms. Kim said everyone was soooo worried about me but never gave up that they would catch me so I could be part of their rescue and find a new fur-ever home!! Woooowooooo!!! (translation - thanks y'all! :-)

Yappy Thanksgiving to my new doggie family and rescue, and to all the other doggies out there!!

Who is this guy?

OK so last Wednesday Ms. Kim came home with this tall, dark, handsome guy and said his name was Mr. Carl and he lived here! Where has he been all this time? Ms. Kim says he travels a lot so he's been out flying and home for the holiday. I was a little skeptical that he was really suppose to be there so I kept running away from him. He said he was a good guy and wanted me to trust him so he put a leash on me and made me walk around with him! I didn't particularly care for that but made the best of the situation. Thankfully, it wasn't for very long or often since he was only there a couple of days. Wonder when he's coming back?

I finally decided to play!

At Lana and Mocha's continuous nagging to play, I finally give him and start playing just to get them to stop altho I think that backfired cuz now they want to play all the time. Lana has a funny way of playing by always grabbing my back hindquarters and both of them are always grabbing my neck!! Whaz up with that?? Mals don't play like that!! Also, Lana loves to paw at me! That girl!! I'm gonna have to teach her how Mals really play...but maybe another day as I'm too worn out now!! HEHE!! Oh and if you're wondering, there is a 3rd foster sibling but apparently she doesn't want to play with me, mom says she's busy sitting on her throne cuz she is a princess!! Not exactly sure why she won't play but that's ok cuz I have my paws full with these two! You can see more pics of me here!

New Moon Effect

OK I've heard my foster mom talk about a new movie called New Moon and how Ms. Delilah is sooo excited to see it. Well, I think I must've dreamt about it and it had an effect on me cuz last night, I just did not want to sleep and I let everyone know about it, especially playing with my favorite squeaky pumpkin! Don't think mom was very excited about that cuz after telling me, Lana and Mocha to stop making noise and go to sleep for 2 hours, she finally kicked us out of the bedroom at 5 AM!! How rude!! LOL!!

Well we didn't like that too much so we got even and chewed up a lint roller that Lana got down from the counter. She wasn't too happy but she forgave us anyway. She blamed it on the moon so I'm thinking she's thinking it was the New Moon too!!

Treats - YUM!!

I finally decided to trust my new foster mom and took treats directly from her hand this morning rather than backing up and having her put them on the ground!! She was sooo estatic she texted everyone she said!!! I like when she's excited cuz we get more treats!!

I know how to speak!!

Houdini here...I've finally gotten somewhat comfy at my new foster home that I let my foster mom know last night while she was working on the laptop and she was excited! She says my voice is very deep!! I also had a barking contest with my foster brother, Mocha as we he was looking out the sidelight window and was barking at something so I barked at my mom to let her know something was up! She kept saying something about huskies and mals aren't suppose to bark...not sure what that means but ok we do and we can't help it!!

Oh and one of my foster sisters, Lana keeps pawing and bowing at me! Mom says she just wants to play but I just don't know about that girl yet!! Maybe one day but for now, I'm sticking with my brother as us guys need to stick together.

Now that I can talk she said I could take over my blog and keep all my fans updated!!

Making Progress!

Houdini has settled in nicely at his foster home! Still hasn't played with the others but I think he's close to playing with Mocha; Lana is still trying hard to get him to play with her. He is getting better at coming in from the back yard as long as I'm away from the door, and he'll eat his meals if I'm not standing too close to him.

Sunday, he started coming up to me while laying on the couch and sniffed me, and eventually gave me a couple of kisses on my feet. He will also come up to get pets if one of the others are getting them as well. He still follows me and still turns if I stop, but his circle of comfort is getting smaller so he's staying pretty close even when I'm walking towards him.

He has done well overnight being left out so that's good as I didn't want to push him to try the crate.

A New Foster Home

I picked up Houdini from the clinic earlier today and brought him home! He is doing good!! He didn't want to get into the SUV and went down to the ground so I eventually picked him up and put him in. Once I got home, he didn't want to get out so I left him in there and crawled into the back with him for 30 min just talking to him. I got out to check on fur-kids and next thing I knew, he came out right after me! He got to explore the house first by himself.

Then brought in my fur-kids one by one!! Lana was first and has claimed him at her next playmate and boyfriend!! :-) Mocha isn't quite sure who the new guy is yet and Aurora who I kept telling people we found her prince seemed interested in him but like all other fosters, could care less now!! HEHE!! We took him outside and he trotted around and did his business. Stayed out there with him for awhile and tried to call him in but he stayed out by the grass/patio line. Lana would go out there to try and coax him in and it took awhile but again, eventually did on his own!!

He does stay back a couple of feet from me but it's funny that he'll follow me around the house and then turn around as soon as I stop. While I've been at the desk, he's been right behind me just laying down! I was quite excited that his tail went up and stayed up for awhile when he was around the fur-kids!! YEAH!!! I think he'll settle in nicely over the next few days.

Here's a few pics of him from tonight!!
