Tommy: January 2009

King of the yard

Tommy likes it that we didn't spread the last bale of straw. He lies on it at times---stands on it as a nice lookout spot...

and uses it as a nice wind cover when resting for a moment.

Tommy tries out the new doggy bed

Tommy prefers the couch to a dog bed any day, but since there was no room on any of the couches he got the bed by default.

Fosters Tommy & Rachael together

At our happy birddog balooza event at Hammel Wood Dog Park, Tommy (left) was quite surprised to meet his twin Duncan (aka Wills Jr.). Guess what Tommy, Duncan was actually fostered by your own foster parents as well---who were delighted to see the happily adopted boy again.

A rare opportunity to catch Tommy outside---he usually runs without break and as quick as the wind...not easy to catch a photo opportunity.

A Day at Wauconda Dog Park

Though Tommy has a big yard to run in at his foster home, his eyes became really big when we arrived at Wauconda Dog Park. He happily started to explore---it took us a while to catch up with him, which finally took place at the well, where Tommy got a drink.

We found out that once we took station at a picnic table in the woods, that Tommy was all too happy to check in with us frequently and also lie down to rest for a while.
