My story

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

1/26/10

Hey there, Enzo here...

Momma stayed home from work today cuz she's having trouble breathing (her doctor said she should get rid of all the dogs but what does HE know??!!). So momma and I are typing my latest report. Daddy and my foster siblings are in bed sleeping; momma and I have the house to ourselves. Now this is really fun because I can play with whatever I want (no toes under blankets, though heehee).

I'm mostly housebroken now and I'm really good about letting them know LOUDLY when I really really have to "go". I'm getting really big - almost 50 pounds now - and just a couple inches shorter than Bridjett. Momma has Bridjett and me working on training together. I think she said it was because Bridjett needs the practice too, or maybe because she wants me to learn to mind her better when all I really want to do is play. Might be both reasons but I have fun when Bridjett is there with me working. It makes it seem more like a game than work.

Bridjett and I wrestle a lot - but momma, Daddy and Tymar make sure it doesn't get too rough. I love playing with all the toys in the house and tennis balls in the yard. I bring the toys back but I'm not real good about "dropping" it so someone can toss it again for me to chase down. I think I would love it if my forever family could teach me that!

Momma and Daddy gave me something called a Gallieo bone which is really good for chewing on - instead of those toes under blankets! Another thing I really love is chasing this red light around the house. I have no clue where it comes from or where it goes but when it's here...it's sooo much fun!

OK momma says I should get off the puter now so TTYL! Love, Enzo WOOF

HEYYYYYY everybody!!!
GUESS WHAT??? Wooohoooooo! Mommy and Daddy brought my crate into the main part of the house so I can sleep where everyone else does! WOOT!!!
I'm getting VERY good at letting them know when I have to go outside - and when I'm ready to come in, I sit at the door and bark.


Guess what again??!!! I've been playing with my foster sister Bridjett in the yard for a couple days! We run and chase each other...and do play bows for each other...and wrestle....and then stare at each other for a minute then off we go again! OMGosh is that FUN!!!
My foster brother Tymar isn't very fond of me yet - we're being very closely supervised because (Daddy says) Tymar's a butt-head sometimes!


Physically, I'm a very solid boy, but not fat; we think I'm going to be about 60 pounds eventually - maybe a little more. Mommy's taking more pictures of me - and some video of Bridjett and me playing - so you guys can see what I look like now that I'm a big boy!


Our lessons now are concentrating on doggy manners. I got to play with another doggy, Barney, but he plays too rough for me so I made him just chase me around the yard and barked at him cause he couldn't catch me (heehee!!). Daddy says I'm very submissive (wassat?) with other doggies and with people.


I'm just SOOOOO happy that I get to sleep with the rest of my family now and that I get to interact with them.
Love ya! BYE! Enzo.

Hi there! My name is Enzo. I'm a BC mix pup but we're not sure what the mix is - woof!
I'm about 4 months old right now and very active in all ways puppy! I love to play with my toys and with my foster mom and dad. We play tug and fetch and Daddy wrestles with me just about every day! I love being tickled and I'm learning to like this stuff Mommy calls "snuggling" but...well...she's a GIRL, you know! ARFF!


Daddy made me a large pen where I spend most of my time because the doctor says I have a fungus called "ringworm". WORMS??? I don't have WORMS!!! We just had the doctor take a scraping from my skin to have it tested. I hope the test tells mommy and daddy my fungus is gone because I want to join the rest of my foster family so much! ARROOOO :(
I'm learning SIT and SHAKE right now. Daddy says I'm very smart and learn quickly. He started teaching me DOWN today - that means I have to lie flat on my belly for Daddy.
I have a foster brother and sister, Tymar and Bridjett. But I haven't really gotten to "meet" them yet because of this silly fungus - SIGHHHH. We look at each other from opposite sides of my pen and talk a little and wag our tails at each other.


Right now I weigh 32 pounds and I'm about 18 inches tall at the withers and I'm still growing! Daddy thinks I'm going to be as tall or taller than my foster sister Bridjett - and she's HUGE!!! I dunno if I want to get that big!
Rut roh!! I hear my mommy coming in the house! I better get off the puter or she might be upset!
TTYL Love Enzo!!
