UPDATE FROM MY NEW FOSTER HOME!

As soon as I remember to get my phone out to the beach we will have pics in the sand! Heather has been pretty energetic, she wiggles her whole body when I come home and the walker says she jumps when she comes for the afternoon walk time! Yesterday on her walk someone asked Kristie (our walker) if she had been on "America's Cutest Puppies"..they swore they had seen her and she's so cute. She loves sleeping on the bed with Jax and even slept in and snored on Sunday :) She seems to like being around Jax, as I think it reminds her of her puppies. She'll stand over him while he woofs out the window at the softball park across the street.He also likes to snuggle up to her on the couch, which seems to make her happy...she was licking his ears last night :) She has been hesitant about her wet food and treats, but peanut butter has been her favorite and today she took a small liver treat from my hand, so she's coming along. (I'm hoping she'll do the same with her heart pill when we try again tonight!) I can definitely tell she's confused about how to just be a dog...she runs down the beach, stops to check if the coast is clear, then romps again...but she seems to be figuring it out. She has been eating her dry food, but she does need a little reassurance to approach the bowl, which funny enough usually comes in the form of Jax walking over, sniffing, and then letting her go...her favorite thing though is to pull the bowl forward and knock it over then eat...it's too funny! She loooovvvees to cuddle and rest her had on my lap while I work on the laptop. She also loves to walk up to people and get her head pat...which everyone is more than happy to do! She seems to really like the consistancy around here (walk times, bed time, etc.) and will probably do best where things can continue on a routine...it seems to reassure her. That's all we have for now and pictures to follow soon!
