1/30/12 - Greeting from Pennsylvania! Morgan had a great Christmas....she got everything she asked for, and had a great time unwrapping all her gifts. She also had a very relaxing New Years. This month is the one year Anniversary of Morgan coming to our home. How time flies! She is a really great house guest. We love every minute we spend with her. Morgan is not very fond of the colder weather. I'm sure she can't wait for warmer weather so she can spend more time outside. Right now she spends most of her free time snoozing on her favorite chair. Morgan is still waiting patiently for her forever home. She will be waiting right here until that perfect person comes along to take her home!

10/27/11 - Sorry it's been so long since Morgan's last update. She had a great summer and is adjusting to the colder weather. She continues to do great in our home. I have seen a huge transformation in her since the first day she came to our house. She is more accepting of us, and much more loveable. She curls up next to us any chance she gets. At night she usually waits for the ok, then jumps up on the bed with us. Sometimes if you can't find her, she is napping on my sons bed. When she sees the kids school bus pull up out front, she is all wiggles. She likes it when everyone is home together. We rarely call her Morgan. It's usually a mix of Moo Moo, Morgie, Miss Mo, or Morgie Mo. Morgan can't wait to see all the trick or treaters come to our house and help hand out candy.

7/13/11 - Hey everyone, it's Morgan! Just checking in to let everyone know i'm still happy, healthy, and available for adoption. My summer is going pretty great. I think the best part so far was walking around in the creek. I love the water! I get a little nervous when it gets deep, so I stay in the shallow water. I'll have my foster mom send in pictures soon! I'm getting more used to the picnics in the backyard when all those people and kids come over. I am becoming much more social. Other than that, I have just been relaxing and enjoying the nice hot weather. Hope you summer is going good too.

6/16/11 - Well it's finally summer and Morgan is loving every minute of it. We had a picnic at our house for Memorial Day. Morgan did pretty good with all the guests here. She mostly stayed away from most of the people and kept to herself. I think maybe she was a little overwhelmed with everyone. But when someone came up to her she would let them pet her and then go on her way. Morgan likes laying out in the sun during the day when it's not too hot. I put an extra dog bed on the back porch for her. If you can't find her, that's usually where she is. Morgan continues to do great with my kids (ages 7 and 4) and has recently become more affectionate and loving towards everyone in the house. I can tell she has really settled in and accepted us as her temporary home. She also loves loves loves our boxer, Rocky! If I take him somewhere and not her, she is super excited when he gets back and can't stop licking his ears and following him around the house. They are so cute together.

5/9/11 - Morgan recently was adopted, but things did not work out between her new owners dog and her, so she is now back at our home. I don't think the new owners gave her enough time to adjust to a new home, they only had her two days. But she is doing just fine back at our house. No problems at all with our dog or the rest of the family. We are all loving the summer weather. Morgan loves going for walks. I have figured out that shorter walks are the way to go for her. She can't wait to get out there, but usually slows down after about 20 minutes of walking. Usually when people come to the house she gets really excited and starts licking their pants. But lately she has been licking our boxer's ear when she gets excited and he is next to her. It's really cute and his ears get cleaned in the process. Morgan is by far the easiest foster our family has ever had. We love helping rescue dogs by fostering, so we have decided not to adopt her. So she will be waiting here for her perfect adoptive family. I'll be sending in new summer fun pictures of Morgan. So check back soon!

2/12/11 - Morgan has been with us almost three weeks and there is not a single thing about her I can complain about. Not even if I tried. She is just so sweet, quiet and loveable. She never barks....never. Not even when someone comes to the door. My boxer will run to the door barking and making a fuss. Morgan just runs beside him to check out the situation. When people come over she wags her nub and sometimes licks their pants to say hello. Her favorite toy is a yellow squeaky duck. She jumps around with it and lays beside it sometimes. Morgan's nails were clicking on the floor when she walked, so I decided it was time for a trim. This is usually a chore for me, most dogs HATE it. She ran away from me after the first nail. But came right back and didn't even fight me for the rest. I could not believe it. Morgan is patiently awaiting spring so we can do more fun things like take longer walks and go to the dog park.

1/24/11 - After a very long journey yesterday, Morgan has arrived in PA. She just curled up and took a nap on her bed in the car on the last leg of the car ride. When we got home we went for a nice walk with my boxer to make introductions smooth. Morgan was ready to go. I'm not so sure she knows she is 8 years old. If I would have let her, she would have jogged by my side. Later she was out running in the back yard in the snow. It took her awhile to settle down in the house, she would walk around whinning. But that is understandable. I'm sure she is a little confused about what is going on here. She slept at the foot of my bed last night. After a good nights rest her nub has been wagging much more. Miss Morgan is going to fit in very nice here. Check back for more updates.

1/22/11 - Morgan has been a great house guest. As soon as she arrived she instantly got along with Champ. She adjusted well to being in a new place. We haven't needed to crate her. She is fine alone or with Champ when we are not home. She likes car rides,as well as going to the groomers. She also poses well for pictures. We have noticed she has a very cute heart pattern on her chest which fits her personality very well. She is a loving effectionet dog who one day will make a forever home very happy.

1/16/11 -  Morgan is having quite a grand adventure this week.  Her previous foster home could no longer care for her as their own Boxer has become very ill.   He needs all of their time and focus right now.  So......Morgan is having a week long sleep over with Laura and Jeremy while BAR pulls together a transport to get her to her new foster home in PA.   A great big THANK YOU to everyone that has stepped up to help Morgan.  Keep an eye out for her transport posting, and if your available, please, offer to drive a leg.  It may be your one and only chance to actually meet this GREAT gal!
Please check back for more frequent updates and new photos of this happy go lucky lady.
 

9/19/10 - We all went to the vet on Friday.  Bogie and Cooper had appointments for their annual exams and Morgan came along.  Dr. A had treated her eye back in June when she came to us to foster.  He had used acupuncture treatments and some ointments to clear up an eye ulcer she had.   He's a wholistic vet and uses a lot of alternative types of treatments as well as traditional medicine.  He was very pleased with how well Morgan's eye had healed.  He did an exam and said she's in great health, her weight is 63 pounds and she is very spry, active and happy.   Morgan had a great summer.  She is such a happy dog.  She and Cooper are getting along very well these days and she discovered how much fun he can be.  They play all the time now.  She still loves her food and her treats and is no longer shy about asking for them.  She's very clever and quickly adapts to routines.  She's also very loving and a great family dog.

7/24/10 - I had the opportunity for Morgan to see a couple of my neighbor's cats this past week.  They are older cats and sit around a lot.  My friend's cats are similar.  Unfortunately I don't have access to any kittens.  But at any rate, we went in and the cats were on the sofa and Morgan didn't seem to care at all.  I walked over and she went with me and she got a little interested.  She started sniffing a bit until she got pawed in the face a couple of times.  Then she left.  She never bothered  with the other cat.  So I let the leash go and she just stayed by me and my neighbor.  No big deal.  But the cats weren't running around either.  Given her very calm nature and general behavior I would guess that she is fine with cats in the house.  If it's a really lively cat or one who jumps on her, I can't say.
