I forgot a few things

I wanted everyone to know that I like my crate, it is where I get to eat every morning and every night, my two favorite parts of the day. I stay in there when mom goes to work. My friend Cyndy comes to let me out during the day but I could stay in there all day if I had too. I know the only place I can do my business is outside.
I sleep all night, even if I have slept all day. At night I sleep on a bed at the foot of the bed while my sibs sleep beside the bed. It is a good arrangement. I tried sleeping in the crate in the other room, but I got lonely there.
Keep checking back because I am sure I will remember more things you will love about me.

Major update from Silly

I used to fit my name very well. As you can tell by earlier posts, I was VERY SILLY, now I am just Silly. It still fits, but in a much better way.

What was I thinking, eating a mackerel can, if I wait for mom to open the can, it is so much more tasty.

I still gather things, but it is now just because I want to be closer to mom and dad and I know better than to try to get in the bathroom with them. I just carry their shoes to the other room, place them on by bed and lay down next to them.

I love to play with stuffies and mom says I can bring one or two with me when I get a forever home. I have been out to several homes now and I just love getting to know new people and houses. And one house even had a rug that I thought was a stuffy. I picked it up but put it down as soon as Miss Pam said No. I was just going to show them how much fun I have playing.

The cats are still interesting but I do not chase them any more, in fact I got close enough to George the other day to lick his face, he let me know that was not allowed.

I like walking on a leash now. I spent a few days at Jan and Tom's house and they do not have a fence. I have no problems doing my business on a lead now.

If you want to know any more about me, let mom know at cathymorris345@comcast.net. I really am ready for a forever home.

PS Sorry the picture is so small, but dad is not home and mom has no idea how to make it bigger. In the picture I am playing with a big yellow duck.

Silly likes his mackerel in a can

Silly decided he was hungry just a while ago and decided he was going to do something about it. We had just returned from the store and the bags were on the floor. I didn't have the camera out in time to capture him carrying the bag to his bed. He then selected a can of mackerel and started to enjoy it. I thought he was just licking the can, but as I prepared the camera, he had punctured the can and was enjoying mackerel juice. How clever is that.
It has been a good week for Silly. The cats have all accepted the fact he is not going to eat them and we are again enjoying their company.
Doug (resident grey) has excavated an area outside the back door. It is rather cave like and Silly pretends it is a starting gate. He backs in the hole and shoots out when I open the door for them to come in.
He eats well in a crate, goes in the crate for the daytime with a treat, sleeps through the night beside our bed and has had no accidents in the house. He lets us know when he wants to go out to do the duty or just tour the back yard.
He is extremely curious about everything so we keep a very close eye on him when we are all home.
He did ask me again yesterday about a forever home. I told him I heard families were asking about him and it would not be long. If you want to know more about Silly, feel free to email me at cathymorris345@comcast.net and I will be glad to talk to you about him. He is one of a kind.

Things I have learned in 10 days and what is a forever home

Hi, I'm silly. Oh yes, that is my name too, Silly. My whole name is WhyTellSilly. Well, here's why. I do better when told than when I have to guess.
I guessed it was okay to steal Aunt Lou's treats from the birthday party. Mom told me it was not okay when she found parts of the treat bag inside my muzzle when she got up.
I guessed it was okay to bother the cats when they ran until mom used the squirt bottle on me. She had been telling me too, but I really like running as you should know from all my grade A races. I now know the difference between cats and that funny furry thing at the track.
I guessed it was okay to put my feet on the counter, back to the squirt bottle thing, it's now okay.
I guessed it was okay to pull on the leash when mom is holding it. She still has not convinced me that is not the thing to do. There are so many wonderful things out there to explore. She says I will learn, just give me more time. I will learn, I just don't know when.
Keep checking on me, I will let you know when I learn more things. I really want to learn about this thing they call a forever home.

Silly at our first M&G

Yesterday Silly went to his first meet and greet with his foster family. He was pretty unimpressed. He preferred to look the other way when everyone was around. He had a rough week getting used the many things in the Morris household this week. Plus the last time he went to meet and greet he changed families and I think he was a little afraid that would happen again.

Last week he learned foster mom has some strict rules when it comes to chasing cats. It is not allowed and if she is quick enough chasing or even whining at a cat results in water in the face. He really does not like that. He is learning quickly though, right now he is at my feet with a cat just 5 feet from him and he hasn't even really looked at him. GOOD BOY Silly,.

He doesn't like going in the crate, but when he gets in he is fine. I did hear him whining in the crate when I was in the front yard working but otherwise he is quiet when I go to work and come home.

He has earned no out the the crate when no one is up points. Last night he was muzzled, got out of the bedroom and devoured all of Aunt Lou's birthday party treats. That was with the muzzle on, what could he do without it?????????!!!!!!!!!!

Silly has been we me since Saturday. What a big goofball! He lives up to his name. He is always happy and friendly. He has had no accidents in the house and is even able to stay loose in the house when I am out. He crates with no problem and sleeps thru the night. I let him sleep in my room last night with the baby gate up. He was perfect. He likes to play with stuffies and my other greys. I will be double checking on the cat & small dog thing this week. The only thing that we are working on is that he likes to pull towels and things off the shelf and carry them with him. He is a very big boy and does not realize it. He has no trouble eating every thing that I give him. He is going to make someone a very nice boy.
