#20 Bo

Bo came to us as an extremely afraid dog. If you clapped your hands at him he would pee on the floor in fear. We started calling him Boo

Over time he got much better.

I like the white lightning bolt on his chest.

#19 Blackie

Blackie was a real water dog. He went to a very nice couple and is now known as Skipper.

#18 Not Hoover

He came to us named "Jett" but I hated that name. He wasn't around long enough to give him a new name. We started calling for Hoover and "Not Hoover." So he got the temporary monicker of Not Hoover.

I use the goofy picture on top as a photo id on the la la cd trading website. Caught him right in the middle of shaking his head.

#17 Sinbad

Sinbad is a very nice blocky headed yellow lab. He was only with us for a short while and got along very well with Hoover.

He now resides on the east coast and has been renamed Bogie.

Foster #15: Scout

Scout is a very beautiful dark chocolate lab. He is about 9 to 12 months old. 

Phhhbbbttt!

Here's what he thinks of having to pose for too many pictures. 

Scout & Hoover

Scout's favorite pose always seems to be lying down. 

Tonto, Foster #14

(but only for one night)

Tonto & Hoover

All fosters are required to get their pictures taken with Hoover. Sometimes this is a challenge but Tonto sat patiently for all his photos. He seems to be very calm and puts up with a lot.

Lucky #13

Clifford the Big fox Red Labrador

Update: Clifford, now known as Wilson, was adopted by a wonderful couple. A few days after they took him into their house we completed his foster care by taking him into the eye doctor. It seems his clumsiness was caused by a rapidly deteriorating eye condition. Our buddy is going blind and has about a year of sight left. His new owners could have rightfully returned him but have chosen to love him and keep him.

We certainly understand. He is big, goofy and lovable and forever in our hearts even if he always insisted on stealing Hoovers bone.

I Want It!

 

Water Dog!

 

Clifford

We think he is about 2 years old -- her certainly still acts like a puppy as he runs around and bumps into things. He is very nice and very gentle.

But he is probably going to be 85 pounds when he is done growing. 

Clifford the Big Red Dog

Here is Clifford a Fox Red Labrador. Clifford came to rescue pretty malnourished and way too skinny. After a few weeks of puppy chow and love he is recovering nicely. 

Napping in front of the t.v.

 

Hoovers White Shadow

Sometimes we called them Blacky & Whitey.

Everywhere Hoover goes he is followed by a curious Rhett. Hoover takes it in stride, and Rhett is nice about it.

Rhett does like to sneak into the pantry and redistribute the 2 liter bottles of soda all over the house.

And he took a tupperware container full of graham crackers and ate them all on the nice leather couch in the living room.

 

Hoover & Rhett

They get along fine together.

Here they are side by side waiting for cookies. 

Foster #12: Rhett

Rhett is a beautiful dudley yellow lab.

He came to us from heartworm treatment and is very gentle and sweet. He got along with Hoover just great, although by this time Hoover kind of ignores the fosters.

After a few days of trying to get Hoover to play the two of them chased each other around the house until Rhett got tired.
