I'm a wing man!

Hi, this is Morgan. I'm all excited, because I was promoted to "wing man"

My foster daddy plays the wing game (pheasant wing attached to a fishing pole) with all of us. On the first day, I didn't know what the other guys were even doing...I wanted to just run in the yard.

But NOW, all I want to do is play, play, play with that pheasant wing, whenever I get the chance. It's so much fun. Sometimes I catch it and foster daddy has to be a bit patient and wait for me to release it...but can't you blame me for wanting to hold on to the big prize?

Yard Time is Fun

I'm a birdy boy and my foster mom says I've got a beautiful point too.
I'm always on the lookout for birds---but squirrels are fun too.
I'm taking some time out to rest as well. Here I'm lying by foster mommy's feet while she's on the computer.

As you can tell I need to fatten up a bit. Not that easy it seems. I've got a healthy appetite and am getting an extra portion with every meal, but then I like to run it right back off...
This yard is fun. I can see through the fence at all the cars driving by. When there's a truck, I sometimes chase it and bark.
And those BICYCLES going by!!! I'd just like to run with them and tend to squeal with delight when I see one. I just can't help myself.
However, foster mommy assures me I'm a good boy. I do speak up once in a while, but am overall a quiet boy. I'm also learning the regular people that walk by and don't make a fuss when they walk by.

Casey and Bosco like to go visit people by the fence---so I try that sometimes. I've gotten nice rubs that way already---sometimes though I'm not quite sure if I can trust everybody and don't dare to visit with people going by---I can't help it...I'm a bit shy at times when checking out new things, but it never lasts long.

Now, I'm not JUST an outdoors man!

Don't think I don't appreciate the cozyness of an indoor environment...I LOVE it. And I'm spending more and more time inside. Everybody is surprised, as I wanted to be outside so much the first few days.
I like to follow foster mommy and daddy around. They were first crating me at night and some other times. But I showed them that I'm a good boy in the house. Now I only go into the crate when they leave home, but I get to sleep right on the bed with foster mommy and am a quiet sleeper. All through the night. I LOVE to cuddle---and get my belly rubbed.
I also love a game of ball. I don't even need anybody to play with. I just paw and nose the ball until it rolls away and then chase after it and pounce. It's loads of fun and makes foster mommy laugh quite a bit---so I guess I'm not the only one entertained by the whole thing.
Well, if there's one thing I would change in my foster home, I'd have an elevated water bowl. But it doesn't seem to be happening just yet, so I make due by flopping myself down by the bowl and having a good drink. Foster mommy thinks I'm hilarious--she says I'm hugging the water dish...

It's Kismet!

Hi everybody. My name is Jason Morgan. I think I'm about 2 years old (I was so small when I was born...I just don't remember exactly) and everybody tells me I'm a sweet boy. I got lost and suddenly found myself in a big place with lots of other dogs. I think it's called a shelter. I was so glad when a family came and adopted me, but then suddenly they brought me back to the same place as before... I guess I was too lively for them. Well, I do like to be running outside in the yard a lot---but I thought I'm a birddog and that's what I'm supposed to do. I'm very confused.

But I think it's Kismet that I'm back at the shelter. Because they told me that Illinois Birddog Rescue is coming to pick me up and they will find me the forever family I'm destined to be with. I'm all excited now.
