    We ran into our old pal Odis on a walk this week. He couldn't stop bouncing up and down with the exciting news he had to share. His family has been fostering a new pal – a beagle named Ray!

    Here's the foster family portrait, Sam, Doug, Ray, and Odis with big smiles all around.

    They reminded us to take this opportunity to thank everyone who opens their homes and hearts to animals who need a temporary home while they wait for that perfect adoption.

    Details About Ray

    Sam sent along information about Ray. She said, "…he is a 2- 3 year old Beagle mix. He got hit by a car and had to have his tail cut off. He is a sweet boy who loves to be outside and is a true beagle. 

    He will need to be on prescription food for the rest of his life, but it is no more expensive than the good food most people buy their pets anyway! He loves his foster brother and is learning to walk on a leash and be a gentleman when meeting other dogs.  He loves, loves, loves to be outside and I think he would prefer a backyard to run and play in!"

    Ray is available through the Last Hope K9 Dog Rescue. Here's their Facebook page where we found this adorable photo of Ray.

    In a more serious moment Odis said he's doing his best to be a good host. He thinks fostering is the perfect way to decide if you really want a second or third dog in your family.

    Odis also reminded us that when you see an old friend with a new dog, ask before you rush up to meet them. Some fosters and newly adopted dogs still needs a bit of space with other dogs or even people.

    Nice to see you again Odis!  Ray, we hope you find the perfect "furever" home.

  • Make a List of Your Dog’s Words!

    CHE_0796 - Version 32013-01-09-poppy-westie-dog-words-© 2011 Penny Cherubino (1)

    Have you ever made a list of your dog's vocabulary – all the words that evoke a response?

    Sit! Fetch! Down! Leave it! These are the type of words, commands really, that many people would think of when asked about the words dogs understand. But, those of us who live with dogs soon realize that they learn many words we never intended to teach. Each day, we discover a new word that our nine-month-old Poppy suddenly understands. (That's her in the photo playing with her lizzard Iggy.)

    An Informal Survey

    Have you ever found yourself spelling B-A-T-H because your furry friend will hide under the bed if you say it? For Molly, a Boxer and Jake, a Westie from Winthrop, spelling C-A-R is not quite enough because they recognize the “C” means car to them as their person begins to spell it. Sophie, a German Shepherd from the Back Bay, loves to R-I-D-E too. And, for her family T-R-E-A-T requires spelling.

    Other Sunday dogs know other words:

    Sunday Dog, Odis “Loves Everyone!” and his favorite word is present.

    For Sunday Dog Jackson, Life Is Best with a Stick and you can guess what word alerts him to fun.

    Fun Project

    Creating a record of your dog’s vocabulary can be a fun family project. It can demonstrate the various relationships that exist with the animal. Who has worked on training, taught tricks, provided the food and care? All of these seem to come out with the words we use to communicate.

    What's your dog's favorite word?

    What word surprised you when you figured out your dog knew what it meant?

    What words do you have to spell?

  • Sunday Dog, Odis “Loves Everyone!”

    PMC_9832 - Version 22012-04-03-O'Dis-dachshund-Sunday-Dog-Boston-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    We always look forward to seeing Odis– this Sunday Dog loves everyone! He always has a way of making you feel special, as if you’re the only one in the room.

    DSC_3369 - Version 22012-04-03-O'Dis-dachshund-Sunday-Dog-Boston-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Odis was catching some spring rays in the park, the other day, and didn’t see us approach. As soon as he realized he had company, this spunky little guy grabbed his toy and rushed over to greet us.

    PMC_9815 - Version 22012-04-03-O'Dis-dachshund-Sunday-Dog-Boston-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    While Odis loves toys, his favorite is “anything new.” His person explained that he gets a new toy every couple of weeks. Like so many of us, he loves presents, and even knows the word!

    DSC_3358 - Version 22012-04-03-O'Dis-dachshund-Sunday-Dog-Boston-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Did somebody say, "Present?"

    Odis also loves cheese, doesn’t like skateboards, treasures walks, and always wants the bed to himself, “He’s a Dachshund, so he likes to burrow.” And, “he messes up the bed pretty well.”

    Odis will turn six in June, so we’re guessing that’ll mean another present…

    DSC_3373 - Version 22012-04-03-O'Dis-dachshund-Sunday-Dog-Boston-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Uh-h-h, sorry boy… But, June isn’t all that far away. Happy Birthday, Odis!
