Cody “HSHV Foster failure! I was brought home as a foster, but the resident dog and I hit it off so well, that we didn’t stop playing most of the night on my first night.

My hoomans got no sleep, so my hoomans bought an air-horn the next day. This turned into our signal that it was quiet time, and we had to stop playing and go to bed.

They didn’t think anyone would get along with the resident dog who became my sibling then, which was so much fun.

I also got along great with the resident kitty, too.”

NAUGHTIEST THING Had so much fun completely shredding a nice, brand new, fluffy bed in my crate--making a nice poof-filled crate for myself to lay in! My hoomans even let me keep it that way for a long time, until the fluff made its way too far all over the house.
