She's a Chow Hound!

I bought the dogs a Tug-a-jug today, and Nutmeg's foster brother Rowan promptly chewed through the rubber "rope". However, it functionally still did the trick - kept them occupied. Here, Nutmeg demonstrates the "roll" technique, as opposed to Rowan's "brute force" approach.

My New Jogging Partner

Hey it's me again - Nutmeg!!!

Wow today was a really fun day. My mom and foster sister and I went exploring! We drove in the car for a little while, which of course is one of my favorite things, and then when we got out we followed this trail called a "Greenway" for a really long time! Here's a few shots of me and my foster sister Rosie as we were going along the trail! She used to be really grumpy with me, but I think she doesn't mind me so much anymore, we are becoming the best of friends since we always get to go on adventures together!







We saw lots of people and other dogs when we were on the trail, it was really fun! There were also these things called 'bicycles', I was a little nervous when I first saw those, but after a little while, I didn't mind them at all! Check back soon for news of my next adventure!

love,

Nutmeg

Another Visit

Hi everyone! Nutmeg here. This week was really important for me. I went back to the Paw Patch and had an operation. I was very brave and mom says I am such a good girl for being so brave! When she came to pick me up afterwards, the people there said I was so sweet, they didn't want to let me go!
Here I am in the car on the way home, I was really, really tired!

Well, even though I was a little woozy that day, mom says it's a good thing because those stinky boys won't be bothering me anymore! Whatever that means, but I'm glad!

Hazy Dayz

Hi everyone! Nutmeg here. I'm so excited to tell you all about how my life has been since my last update. I am feeling so good, my cough is completely gone and I am back to my normal happy bouncy self! I am the life of the party over here at Point O' Woods, if I do say so myself!


I am really starting to enjoy this cuddling thing, it was new to me at first but now I can't get enough. I love to snuggle up to my foster mom and get pets and kisses. When we're inside, my favorite thing is to collect all the stuffies and toys in the house and make piles with them. Later on, I usually move the piles, just to make sure I can keep track of everything.


My foster mom and I play some really cool games, she throws this blue disc in the air and I run after it. Usually the blue disc falls to the ground and that's when I run back to my foster mom. Then she goes and picks up the blue disc! I think there might be something else to this game, but I'm still figuring it out...my favorite thing is to play with my duck outside. I like to run fast and keep it away from my foster brothers and sister, it's a lot of fun!

I know I make her laugh a lot, I really like doing that. One of the things that makes her laugh the most is when I practice ballet. I am so graceful! I lean up against the cabinet for balance and then I do the most graceful arabesque with my back leg, I am really talented!


I'm having a great time with my foster brothers and sister, although sometimes my foster sister can be kinda grumpy. I think she doesn't like other girl dogs, especially happy, bouncy, affectionate ones like me that steal the show! The other dogs seem to bark a lot but not me! I'm a good girl and I don't make a peep! I know that makes my foster mom very happy and I try really, really, really hard to make her happy, it's what I like best! I also love to take rides in the car. Every time we go outside I run over to the car and wait there, in the hopes that my foster mom will get the idea, but she rarely catches on, I will have to keep working on that with her!


I am having so much fun here, but I know there is still something missing...my foster mom tells me that there is a family out there, waiting just for me. She says they are looking for a special girl like me to add something sweet and spicy to their lives! She says that they will be super lucky to get a cute little pointer with all the great qualities that I've got! I'm hoping they will have kids for me to play with, and maybe even other dogs. If they have cats, that's ok too - hopefully they will take me to the park and for jogs and on trips. Most of all, I hope they will love me forever. I just know they will find me, and I'll be here waiting until they do!
