Cuddles is getting adopted today

I wish we had held on to him so we could have met the adopters. We wish him a long and happy life. We know he will do well in his new home as he is so lovable.

Cuddles is going to another foster home for some work

Cuddles is not thriving in our environment. He is too stressed so he is going to another foster home for some work on dog and people socialization.

Activities and videos

This weekend we took Cuddles for a 2 mile walk on Sat. in very nice weather and a 4 mile walk around a lake on Sun, also in great weather. Did we bring the camera to capture all the fabulous shots? Nope. Instead this morning I go out in 14 degree weather and take pictures. Cuddles also helped us watch a couple of movies over the weekend. He loves to snuggle up on the couch.

Cuddles saying he will go for a walk even if it is only 14 degrees. "Can we, huh, huh?"


I'm freezing but took some videos anyways. In this one Cuddles demonstrates his recall. He is awesome! Will come from anywhere at any time. We have not formally trained this. He just naturally wants to be with you. In fact getting him to leave your side for picture taking takes some patience because he likes to stick right with you.


Cuddles finds a completely frozen toy. It was like an ice block as we had rain that froze.



Cuddles loves to play in the snow. In the absence of snow he figures frozen grass is the next best thing.

Cuddles sparkles as an only dog

Cuddles is joyful and sparkling when there are no other dogs around. He and I were playing a nice game of fetch last night with a toy. When one of my dogs came in the house he went to investigate. My dog came in the living room and picked up the dropped toy. Cuddles then came in, saw my dog with the toy and went to get it. A big fight broke out. As a result were back to keeping him isolated from my dogs.

However I must say that he has shown only joy and friendliness to people. Now that he is the only foster he spends time in the house alone with us. He prances around in very high spirits but is still wonderfully behaved.

Cuddles is out and about with my dogs

Yesterday and last night Cuddles was either with me in the house on leash or in a crate in the same room with me. My dogs were out and about. Today all three are out and about in the house together and things are nice and calm. We also took all three for a leash walk together and everyone got along. Cuddles is not initiating play but just going along with my two. He is a wonderful dog who is going to make some lucky owner very happy.

Cuddles is best suited for someone who wants a dog's companionship but not an over energetic dog that is hard to train or that one that has to be kept on top of all the time. Cuddles would be great with a low key person who just wants to enjoy being a dog owner and doesn't want to worry about being alpha or a leader or having to discipline a dog. Cuddles will automatically put his owner(s) on a pedestal and his natural good behavior will please his people.

Cuddles is looking for love

Cuddles is doing very well at getting along with my dog Blossom. In addition our other foster got adopted last night and Cuddles seems to be quite perky about it. As a result I would have to say that although Cuddles can get along with other dogs and greets them appropriately on leash he may be happiest with some people all to himself. He likes both males and females as he is good with both myself and my husband. He really just wants some folks to love him for the great dog he is.
