Summary of September 2013 Facebook Posts

When my foster mom got home today I got to go for a victory lap around the block because I was such a big help training for the running portion. She finished in 1 hour 36 minutes....40 minutes before her expected completion time. September 29, 2013

I want to be a Luna Chix.  I think I'd make a great "spokesdog" and motivator! September 21, 2013

I didn't get to go to the triathlon prep session today but my foster mom brought back lots of great smells.
A special "bark-out" to team member Toby who not only provided awesome tips and advice and kept my foster mom safe but who also shared lots of great German Shepherd stories.

LUNA Chix Local Team brings together women interested in learning new sports, staying active, and encouraging others to do the same.  teamlunachix.com  https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=208880925953428&id=128686753972846I ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm a Maserati: September 21, 2013
I'm a Maserati!

I was recently told I'm the Maserati of dogs. I'm a joy to behold....a masterpiece! I've got the drive and the smarts. With my vertical jumps you can see my power yet my 10+ commands offer great handling. Look at my elegance and distinctive markings. A Maserati for "everyday enjoyment"..."for life's gran tour". I can make long journeys truly pleasurable. I'm not for everybody. I need plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy. I'm smooth running and have sporty performance. No need to desire all my features (I've learned to jog next to a bicycle but if you're not up for that I'm content to walk by your side). I'm a delight to touch. My interior offers warmth and companionship all year round.

Length: 36"

Not once! Not twice! September 20, 2013
Wonderful run at Gunner's Lake, Germantown, MD

Not once! Not twice! But four times on yesterday's run when dog walkers saw me jogging with my foster mom they walked their dogs away from the paved path to sniff or wait while we passed. So nice being given space! — at Gunner's Lake.

Triathlon workout yesterday was: 15 minute run + 2 minutes fast + 2 minute jog + 15 minute run. I especially loved the sprint!

My foster mom says that thanks to me she's now a much better runner!

Zoom Room - Introductory Visit.  September 11, 2013I Love This Place!



I was given a Groupon for 3 private gym sessions at the Zoom Room in Rockville, MD!!

There's a lot of things to check out here! They specialize in Agility Training and have other things like puppy classes, indoor play area, and opportunities for both shy and rambunctious dogs. I gotta tell my rescue dog friends about this place!

Meet Steve. He did a great job giving me a chance to get comfortable and check out the place. He didn't even get mad at me when I stole and devoured a beef jerky chew from the "goodies" section! They use positive reinforcement methods here...a MUST for me
The Zoom Room's goal to "fill the world with happy, tired dogs enjoying an exceptional quality of life as loving companion" is met! I had a blast but am wiped out!

CANCELLED! September 9, 2013

The City of Rockville's Doggie Dip Day, scheduled for next weekend, was cancelled due to the spread of dog influenza in Montgomery County.

My friend Harley, a Lab Great Dane mix, was recently diagnosed with the doggie flu. His first symptom was a slight cough. Other signs are a runny nose and fever.

I was given a gift of a Groupon! Tomorrow I'm headed to the Zoom Room! September 7, 2013

Tomorrow I'll be at the Burtonsville Petsmart Adoption event from 12:30-3:00pm. Come meet me! September 7, 2013

Confident! My first jog alongside the bike was a success! September 1, 2013

There was one close call though. I smelled something tantalizing and flung myself onto the grass to roll and romp. I love being a dog!

I'm gonna wake up early tomorrow.  The training plan is for a full 30 minute run and I know my foster mom will have a tough time without me.  September 1, 2013.

One of the things my foster mom likes about fostering is learning about different breeds.  Catahoula Leopard Dog, Canaan Dog, Chow Chow, Australian Cattle dog...those are some of the breeds that my family has fostered. September 4, 2013.
The MCHS shelter now has a Karelian Bear Dog mix!  Check out this Animal Planet video about this interesting breed.  The Karelian Bear Dog is a rare breed that is considered to be closely related to wolves. Originally bred to hunt bears, these dogs are incredibly active and full of energy:
