ALL Five hundred twenty-five thousand Six hundred minutes,Five hundred twenty-five thousand Moments so dear.Five hundred twenty-five thousand Six hundred minutes How do you measure, measure a year?
In kibble, in belly rubs , in going for a walk, In playing ,In running , in Pointer smiles, in Pointer tail wags , in Pointer love.
This is the season of love! I'm in Iowa and did we get some rain! But my foster family opened their hearts and home to other dogs that needed a place to stay while their families go out from under all that flood water!
But you don't have to live in Iowa to adopt me! IBR sets up transports and runs to get dogs to their fur-ever homes if it is in another state.
I would do best in a home with older kids, I love people and dogs too!
Check back soon for more updates. I've been in foster care a long time and I can't wait to find my fur-ever home!
Back to my tail wagging, kibble eating, running and playing,

CROSSING MY FINGERS, NOT MY HEART
There is big news in our Foster Home! I am busy weaning the puppies! My teats are shrinking and everything is looking good! No need to buy support bras to cross my heart! YEAH! I am just crossing my fingers that we all find great furever homes soon!
I also hope the puppies don't think I turned into a pacifier now! Silly dogs!
OUR PERSONALITIES
Our Foster Mom put this together. If you read something about one of us and you would like more info, look for our individual links. Our blogs are all linked together! How convenient!
Everyone is developing their own personalities!
Lori is all girl. She likes to be the center of attention. She likes
to be held and played with. I can tell her voice distinctly from the
others. She and Keith have more outgoing rambunctious personalities.
Keith is the one to instigate rough-house play with his sibs. He is
not afraid of going down the stairs and does not cower when Tucker (1
year old pointer) plays with him. His nick name is Super Keith Urban,
handsome and playful! Chris is easy going. He has figured out the
humping thing. He is not as rambunctious but yet does not hide when
things get wild. Chris made his kindergarten debute today and was very
happy to be loved by many children. Danny is the calmest. He is one
of the first to cry. He was the last to embrace the challenge of the
stairs and is not interested in playing with the big dogs. He would
rather play with his siblings and lounge about. It is wonderful to get
to know them. They will all make great pets! Shirley is also going to
make a great pet. She is very loving and gentle. She is protective of
her pups but that is to be expected. She has thoose cute doggy eyes
that say "Love Me!" -Foster Mom

TRICKS FOR TREATS!
Oh, boy! I smell something yummy... I can almost taste it...
READY...
GET SET...
GO GET IT!!!
WOULD YOU MIND KEEPING IT DOWN....
I need some sleep. It's been an overwhelming day. All of the treats, toys and attention from my foster family made for a very busy day. Plus, being the best momma dog in the world is exhausting! Thanks!

PSST....I KNOW YOU ARE THERE!
Sorry about sticking my nose in your computer screen! I just need a second of your time! I need some advice about dealing with Empty Nest Syndrome! I am the mother of five growing puppies. One has already left the nest! She's in her new furever home! The other four are so adorable that they will find new homes of their own. Here's my dilemma...I love my kids but I would really love to have someone spoil me rotten for a change! I have been the best Mom to them but I feel left out sometimes. Would it be selfish of me to ask you to bring me home with you? I would love to go on walks with you! I am great at cuddling. I got lots of practice with my five puppies! If you decide that you can't take me...do you happen to know someone who would love to adopt one of my kids? I promise that I won't let on that I am eager for the nest to be empty! Hee Hee!
THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY HAS ARRIVED!
We are back from Kickapoo and the Partridge Family is in their new foster home! Shirley and the kids had a nice ride home. Shirley sat in the middle row with my 5 year old daughter on the way home. We found that cup holder on her car seat makes a very nice water dish. Shirley enjoyed the drink. My daughter and 11 year old son were great helpers. They held the puppies on the way home. We stopped at nearly every rest stop to switch puppies and make sure everyone got the same amount of love. My kids informed me that the puppies did not like the Naughty Nineties Music that was on the radio. They thought a switch in music would keep them from crying. We stopped for snacks and Shirley had very good manners in the van. There were no accidents in the van or crates.
When we arrived home there was an hour of playing and getting acquainted. I gave Shirley a bath. She is a sweet girl. Then we all settled in for a ....short spring nap.
Our first night together reminded me of nursing my three kids. They slept about two hours pooped, drank, ate and went back to sleep. Repeat every two hours. The only things missing were the diaper changes! They were very good at being crate trained.
Shirley went for a run this morning with my husband
and our EP, Tucker. Shirley enjoyed her 1 mile jaunt. She seemed to enjoy getting out. Everyone is napping for NOW!
Thanks Former Foster Mommy!
