What a Difference a Week Makes!




From cold and snowy to 70 degrees and sunny - all in a week. Keeper has proven he can enjoy himself regardless of the weather. Last weekend he played in the snow and today he basked in the sunshine. It was contagious. Pretty soon all the hounds wanted a space on the deck. We pulled out some dog beds and all of them soaked up some rays. What a beautiful sight on a beautiful day.

Having "Snow" Much Fun!






Keeper really enjoyed the snow we had here. I don't know if he had ever seen snow before. We got a lot of nice pictures. I will spread them across multiple posts. He had so much fun running with his foster siblings and exploring the "cold white stuff".

He Even Washes the Dishes


One of the things we like to teach our fosters is how to politely eat with the pack. You can see Keeper is patient as he waits his turn to be fed. This video is a little long, but I wanted to show you how well he is doing in this area. You have to be as patient as they are! If you look closely, you can see all of them licking their lips and smacking in anticipation of being fed. You probably cannot hear it, but they all do it while I prepare the food. Please stay with the video to the end. If you don't, you will miss the best part.

Keeper has a cute habit of helping me wash the dog bowls after each meal. It is so sweet and funny. I don't even remember when he started doing it. If you need a dog with mealtime manners and who will help with the dishes, then Keeper may be the hound for you.

Heads or Tails?


Keeper has certainly learned to enjoy the comforts of soft dog beds. He is curled up so tightly you can hardly tell which end is which. If you look closely, you can see the gleam of one eye. Look at how shiny and beautiful his coat is. It is so soft too. He is a very sweet boy and continues to do well in our home.

Keeping Warm




We mentioned in a previous post that Keeper went to a field trial to watch his foster brothers and sister run. It was a cold and windy day, so we let Keeper wear Noble's red coat when he was outside. Doesn't he look handsome in red?

When you meet this sweet boy, he will warm your heart.
