Update From My Foster Home

I'm really tired after running and playing at the park with my foster sisters and brothers and I'm taking a nap on the couch with my mom. But don't take my ball...I need it for when I get back up so we can start playing all over again!


Named after the hunky vamp in the infamous "Twilight" book series, Edward Cullen looks, at first glance, as dark and handsome as the book and movie character. But in the few minutes it takes to get to know this guy, you will see he is nothing but sweet and amiable, and so eager to please. He knows his new name very well already. Eddie loves to get your attention and your praise, but isn't over bearing about it. He will plop his head in my lap and look up with his big beautiful brown eyes that you just can't resist scratching his head and behind his ears.


It was clear that Eddie knew a few commands before he came to me, the come and sit commands, but this smart young man has learned a few more "tricks" since he came to us a little over a month ago. He is learning the stay and the down command and he can also give paw or "shake" hands. As you can see in the videos, he loves to play fetch with the ball and brings it back and drops it near you for another go round. He likes other dogs just fine (mine and other peoples) and is best buddies with my English Setter boy, Quincy. The two boys look like they could be related, their coloring and size are very similar as are their crazy fun loving personalities.

Eddie likes my cats and caged birds just fine, too, and although I do not have small children in my home, he has interacted with other people's children "perfectly" on many occasions. He has had no "accidents" in the house since the first week I have had him and although crate trained, he is now allowed the run of the house when I am not home....which, I think, says a lot about this guy! He is an awesome dog and would fit in to any dog lovers home and life!
