My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I’m polite, good-mannered, and obedient. I’m also confident in myself and am definitely not shy at all. For instance, when I first arrived at my foster dad’s home I immediately started inspecting my new surroundings. I even ran upstairs to the second floor to see what it looks like up there. My foster dad told me that I’m the very first foster he’s had that was brave enough to go upstairs so soon because all the others tended to be shy at first. He said that there were even some doggies that would just sit down and start crying the moment they arrived because they miss their former home so much. But not me! I’ve already moved on and was very excited to find out what’s in store for me here in my foster home.

That being said, I do have to mention that I’m still young and so when faced with an unfamiliar situation I may end up feeling a bit insecure. For example, the very first time I met my foster brother, I ended up growling at him. What happened was that he was really excited to meet me, and so he was ran towards me really fast because he couldn’t wait to say hi. But I got worried when I saw him rushing towards me because I was afraid that he would run me over since he was so big compared to me. But after my foster dad reassured me that my new foster brother doesn’t mean any harm and that he just wanted to introduce himself, I became a lot more comfortable and so I never growled at him again after that.

I’m very playful, that’s just my personality, and so basically what happened during my first night here at my foster dad’s place was that I kept playing all the way past my bedtime because I wasn’t aware of the house rules yet (that you’re supposed to stop playing and go to bed once the lights go out at night) and so my foster dad approached and explained to me that he’s having trouble sleeping because I kept making a lot of noise playing with all the toys even though it was already well past midnight. But now that I’ve gotten used to his routine, I’m quite dedicated to following his schedule and so now I know when it’s the right time to play, when it’s time to eat, and when it’s time to start winding down and go to bed. Aside from those episodes I mentioned (which never happened again once I settled down), my foster dad said that I actually have very good manners overall and so I was very happy when he told me that!

Here’s a picture of me relaxing in the back of my foster dad’s car. The moment I jumped in he told me to be very careful whenever going inside the trunk of a car because people might not notice me in there and that they may close the trunk lid by mistake and I could get hurt in the process. Anyway, since I was already inside, he decided he might as well take the opportunity to take a picture and show people how playful I was and so while he was setting up the shot, I gave him my best pose!
