Foster Friday

We've decided that since we are now fostering an eskie, we would allow her to share her version of "things" each Friday, and call it Foster Friday. So without further ado, here's Atka:

Hi blogging buddies. My name is Atka and I am a 1 year old bright white bundle of energy. I am a fox-like eskie who has been with my foster family for nearly a full week. I came to them with kennel cough and some wounds I suffered when a mean animal attacked me. I am feeling much better now that my medication is working, and my wounds are healing nicely. I am starting to feel safe and secure in my foster home. I am still trying to get the hang of this "potty outside" thing. I've had a few more accidents in the house, but when that happens, my foster parents take me to the door and lift my paw to it and say "out". Weird humans, hu??

Anyhow, I really like playing with foster-bro Digby. He is so much fun. Foster-sis Prinnie is the boss, and she lets me know it, but that's ok, because if she weren't the boss, I'd have to be and I don't think I'm quite ready for that yet! I have tons and tons of toys to play with and I REALLY like to chew on things - every thing. Especially my lead. Oh, and humans too when I get the chance. I love to give eskie kisses, and do my very best "Flat Stanley" impression when my foster-moms try to pick me up.

Prinnie started teaching me how to jump thru the agility hoop today. She said her BFF, Siku, gave it to her. Maybe some day I, too, will have a BFF ~ whatever that means. When we were done practicing, the foster-moms said we had to get "fortification" (a big word for a little dog). We went to this drive-thru place with a green symbol and they got some cold drinks and we all got treats.

After we got home, foster-moms talked to a lady here in So Cal that thought she wanted to adopt me. She was really nice, but was looking for an older, calmer eskie who was fairly quiet. Foster-mom asked if they even make eskies like that, as she has never seen an eskie be quiet or really, really calm. Anyhow, Here are some pictures of my first real outing with my foster-family.......
