Joshua...Hello Humans! I’m Joshua and I am (to quote my foster mom), “a happy, cuddly love bug with the most adorable puppy face ever”. I often hear her telling my foster dad that I am just soooo cute. Yup, I pretty much have her wrapped around my little paws. I hate to brag but… I am a charmer. I usually get pets and baby talk from every one I meet.

Since being in my foster home, my foster family has educated me about this crazy human world I live in. I’ve decide that I really like all you two-legged, hairless dogs. You look kind of funny but y’all are great company. I think it is my job to stay by your side and keep you warm since you don’t have much fur.

Because I am so young, my foster family has been schooling me on doggie manners. One of the most important lessons I have learned is that when I sit I get really good things like food or treats or pets. Therefore, I pretty much sit when I am asked. I am working on some of those other words I hear a lot like “stay and down” but those are a little harder because I don’t like to sit still for too long. Heck, if I sit too long I may miss out on something really cool. But, I can shake like any good little gentleman. I still have tutorials daily because my foster parents say I am a sponge and I learn quickly.

I love my foster sisters! Simone is my favorite because she will really play with me. That old girl can really give me a run for my money and I LOVE it! I could play all day long if she let me but she gets tired a little faster than I do. Now, my other foster sister is kind of bossy. She doesn’t let me get away with too much mischief. She always has her eye on me and lets me know when I get under her fur. I listen very well to her because I think she might be a spy for foster mommy and daddy and I really want them to think I am the perfect pup. Maybe one day the Queen will come off her throne and tussle a little with me.

I love toys!!! I love toys so much that I haven’t really chewed on any thing else. Okay, well maybe there was just one thing. When I first arrived, I chewed up foster daddy’s speaker wires he left out but I listened when he told me that was not okay. I am proud to say that nothing else has been touched and that is an accomplishment for a pup my age. I pretty much just get a toy if I feel like chewing. My favorite is the rope toy because I love to shake the “life” out of it. Hey, that rope can be vicious and I have to show it who is boss. By the way, I did make up with foster dad for chewing those wires.

I love to work in the yard. I learned how to help foster dad mow the lawn. I prance right next to his side. It is my most favorite chore on the weekend. I make sure that I am on the safe side of the mower and then I test the freshly cut grass for him. I also prune the sage bushes outside. It is probably a good idea to make sure you don’t have any toxic plants in your backyard if you want to take me home. I like to taste the outside world!

Cuddling is my forte. I can really snuggle up close and give lots of love. I fancy a good back scratch. It feels so good. I usually will hand out kisses for a high-quality back rub.

Well, I guess that’s all for now. I can only sit here, type and boast about myself for so long. I am young and have to experience life. Come experience it with me. It should be a fun journey!

OH…P.S….I’m housetrained (big doggie grin)
