Foster pups!
My mommy and I are hoping to help our foster pups all find new homes for Valentine's Day. We have Tucker, a mixed breed boy, around a year old who is such a love. He has a huge crush on Daisy the boxer, so he's hoping to find a home near her. (or one that will bring him to the lodge to play) He loves kids, and does well with big or little dogs. He's really not that much bigger than me, so he is a solid "medium" size.
Alvin is a beagle boy. He looks a lot like me, so you know he's a good looking boy. He seems to love every person and every dog he meets. He does have a loud singing voice. I think it's beautiful, but I've heard some people don't like the beagle bay. (What are they thinking?)
Finally, we have a litter of six golden mix puppies: Cooper, Copper, Newman, Cookie, Cathy, and Honey. They are around 4 months old and having a great time learning how to play with new friends. They moved up here from NC.
Valentine's Day is a time for loving. These pups would all like to have a family to love them forever. I hope they can be lucky like me.

State of my couch
With the cold weather, I have been spending a lot of time on my couch - the one at home and the one in the office at the lodge. From my office couch, I watch so many dogs who can't wait to get into a playroom to see their friends. I see so many people who are happy to leave their furry family members with the lodge staff, and they are even happier to pick up a tired dog later. From my couch, I see a lot of good.
This week, I hope to see someone stopping by to meet Tucker, our foster dog, and I will see Judd heading to his new home. From my couch, life looks good. Of course, it could be better with room service. Steak anyone?

Happy New Year!
I am ready to make 2011 the best year ever! My mom and I love working at the lodge, and meeting so many wonderful dogs and their people. I think the people who like to give belly rubs by the front door are the best. :) I'm hoping to convert some more people into belly-rubbers this year.
Mom is hoping to get more dogs started on training early. She says starting with puppy kindergarten before your dog is 4 months old is the best thing you can do for your puppy. I did it, and look how great I turned out. She must know what she is talking about.
I look forward to seeing you by the front door often.

I can't believe it's almost Christmas!
I have been busy meeting a lot of new friends at the lodge. We even had a new beagle come for her first day today. Of course, she did amazingly well with the crowd. In fact, we had a very beagley group today - Bandit, Patches, Daisy, Clover and me. Plus we had a half beagle in with the big dogs - Stacks.
While counting the days until Santa comes with presents for me, I want to take a minute to remember the people who make my life so wonderful - my two kids who always sneak me bites of their dinner, my staff at the lodge who let me run the place, my friends who visit me every day, and their parents who are always happy to see me when I'm working as the official greeter in the lobby.
I can't imagine that there are dogs who don't have families at the holidays. Through our training programs and by fostering dogs who need homes, we are doing our part to keep the shelters empty. Plus, I keep trying to tell my daddy that we are ready to add another pup to the family. He keeps saying three is enough, but mommy and I may convince him one of these days.
Merry Christmas to you all!

What a great summer!
The lodge has been so busy this summer, that it's been hard to find time to write. Any free time is taken up by my very important naptime on the office couch. We have been breaking attendence records all summer. Our busiest day has been 42 dogs (not counting me, staff dogs or foster dogs).
I'd like to thank all of my friends for spreading the word about the lodge. Your referrals have helped the lodge grow. Here's a great shot of my friends this week at the lodge.
