I'm so glad you came back! I have so much to tell. I heard rumblings about a lot of applications coming in and some say they want to hear about me! I'm so excited! I love my foster home, but I can't wait to have a fur-ever home. I have been told NO GOOD OL' BOYS will get to adopt me or any other IBR dog! One of my foster moms promised me that! I don't know what a Good Ol' Boy is, but doesn't sound good! (description of a Good Ol' Boy can be found in this blog, but ALL IBR DOGS MUST LIVE INSIDE! They are not to be kennel dogs, positive training methods are to be used, all IBR dogs are spay/neuter, that outlandish theory a dog must be intact to hunt is not something IBR believes in, all IBR dogs are to be pets and loved first, hunters second. IBR has rescued many abused hunting dogs subjected to harsh treatment and training methods.)

Since I was here last I've done very well with e-collar training. All I need is a tone or vibrate. I'm so cuddly. I do very well at night. I sleep on my pillow on the floor by the bed, but I do get to hop up in bed once in a while. I am cat friendly as you can see, although I did get a swipe on the snout, but that's OK, I'm still very handsome. I'm very food and toy motivated. But make sure its good food!!!

So even if I get adopted keep sending in applications there are many dogs in IBR that need furever homes. My friend Kirby has been waiting a long time for a furever home too: http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=5642726 The more dogs that get furever homes, the more IBR can save out of shelters.

I had so much fun yesterday. I went to the dog park with my foster mom. I ran around a bit, but I really liked playing fetch with anyone that would throw a ball for me. I can do that for hours! Also love to play tug of war. This is me with my friend Socrates. He is strong! But I can hold my own playing with him. Pointer Smiles, Your Friend, Buckaroooooooooooooooooooooo

My foster mom just took this picture and wanted to share it. I love my foster mom and foster family. I would love a family that is energetic and sure they can keep up with my energy level. After all I am a little over a year and I am full of pointer energy. But I listen very well and I am eager to learn. Yesterday I played catch in the yard for a long time yesterday with the boy that lives here and his friend. I love to play catch. I also sat for the teenage girl that lives here and let her brush me. I liked that A LOT! I would be a great dog for a family with kids, or even a family without, but you can count on me to be friendly if kids come to visit. I have to run, I hear Peaches (adopted IBR dog) and I want to go play with her. Pointer Smiles, Buck

Thank you for coming back. I have some pictures to share. Click on this link and you can see me out in the field and pointing. http://www.jiro.smugmug.com/gallery/2551124#P-3-15 Also you can see Kirby with his foster dad. He is up for adoption too. He was a very friendly and had a lot of fun that day too! http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=5642726 Yesterday, Socrates, the Weim I live with went hunting. He came back with pheasant and I was very interested. I have been enjoying the weather too, its been very nice outside and Peaches and I hang out outside a lot. I love to be out there! My foster mom will get more pictures of me soon in the yard playing with the other dogs. Check back soon, pointer kisses, Buck.

I just heard, Weather depending I'm going take a test next Saturday. I'm not nervous. I'm going out with the rescue to see how I do on birds. Doesn't that sound like fun??? I'll update you and let you know if I'd be a good hunting companion. But remember Good Ol' Boys (see foster moms description below) NEED NOT APPLY, my foster mom and dad (a hunter himself) are going to be strict about that!!! But lovable, happy, fun homes please apply. I forgot to tell you last time, I met some new people and I liked every one of them. They all pet me and hugged me and I loved it. I sat when I was told to do so and I gave them my paw too! I met some kids as well, I did great! The youngest was 8 yrs old. He gave me some treats, I was so gentle a few fell on the floor. I would do well in a home with other dogs that are older then me, I'm about 1-2 yrs old. Sometimes when the other dogs are playing I like to sit an chew on a toy, but I'll jump in and play too. I'm going to bed now, I'm going to dream about getting a furever home--Pointer kisses, Buckaroooooooooo

Hi again, this is me with Fala, she lives here, she is a lot of fun. We were running around the house today. I have a quick update. I just had so much fun in the backyard. There was a pheasant dummy out there! I know "release", "come" and "give it". I was very interested in the bird at the vet's office the other day. If you would like to adopt me or meet me that would be great! But remember first and for most I have to be a house dog and a pet. I cannot live outdoors. I did sit for my foster mom when we were playing with the pheasant dummy. So you must use gentle training methods, not methods the "good ol' boys" use. I would do very well in a home with a non-hunter as well. My tail is always wagging, I'm just such a happy boy! I love to cuddle with my foster mom and dad. I listen to the two non-fur kids here too. They are 13 yrs and 9 yrs old. I take treats very gentle from them, I can catch them in my mouth if you toss them to me. Want me to show you??? I can!!! Check back soon, Buckarooooooooooooooooo
