Hi, these silly rescue people have named me Goober. I’m not really sure why, but it may have something to do with how sweetly I will melt into your lap at snuggle time.

As puppies go, foster mom says I’m as graceful as a new born giraffe. I have long legs and I’m still learning how to fit all of me on your lap. Usually, I flop myself across a willing body, let my legs dangle and concentrate on delivering my sweet puppy kisses. It’s a sure fire way to make my foster mom laugh.

I really like the dogs here - the little one is so much fun to play with. After we’ve played chase and wrestle it’s time to sack out right beside the older doggies. Gosh, I really hope there will be a doggy playmate in my forever home too. I’ve met the family cat and let me tell you, she’s way different than a dog. She made it very clear that she is not going to put up with my puppy antics.

Hey, I just discovered that tennis balls have fuzz on them that needs to be pulled off. Believe me, only a very special puppy can so deftly remove that annoying texture! I’m loving my chew bones too; great way to keep my pointy puppy teeth busy. Foster mom has some nifty fuzzy toys; I think she called them slippers. Boy, she doesn’t like it when I try to play with them. Humph, she needs to learn how to share. I love kids – they leave all sorts of interesting things on the floor and they don’t mind if I claim them as my own. They make great playmates too. Foster mom says I’m such a gentle, mellow guy that I will do fine even with little kids.

It’s probably important for you to know that I’m not a fan of crates. Nope, not me! I really need to stretch my long legs and crates are just too confining. I sure hope my forever family doesn’t believe in crates! If someone is home most of the day, I’m a reliably good puppy. Oh, and don’t let me forget to tell you my big boy news. I’m almost completely house trained! ‘Course, when I get to my new home I might need a refresher course. And could I go to school? I’m such a good learner – we could really become a great family if we all practiced learning the rules together.

Just so you know, I am fully prepared to love, love LOVE you. Please come meet me and let me be your forever cuddle buddy.
