Well, here I am with my new friends, Trudy and Grace, at Camp Erwin. Boy was I tired after a long ride, with lots of nice people, from the other side of Michigan.
I missed my Foster Mom, Lisa and my foster family and all, but there are lots of things to do out here, too.
Here is my friend Gracie.
She was an Illinois Bird Dog Rescue dog, too. We are getting to be best buds. She showed me around the yard and where all the bird nests are.
I had to learn about the e-fence. The special collars that we wear let us know how far we can go out into the yard with out being bothered by the "Invisible Zap Monster". The collar beeps to let me know that the Zap Monster is close and I should go back near the house. I like it 'cause I can run around and check out all the birds and stuff without worrying. My Foster Mom says I'm real smart because I learned really fast. Now when she gets the special beep collars out, I get exited because I know I'll be havin' fun in the big yard, here at Camp Erwin.
Here is me and Trudy posing on the back porch.
We are both setters and look like we could be sisters. Trudy was a little snobby when I first came, but now we play and run in the yard together all the time with Grace. When we all go for walks with My Foster Mom, she says that we look like a pointer between two setter book ends.
Grace stands guard next to the tree and watches these birds all the time. I get a little bored and have to play with Trudy some of the time.
Here are the doves. There is a Momma and two babies.
Yesterday, they flew away. My Foster Dad was all nervous about us messin' with the babies. But they are OK.
It's real nice here and all. My Foster Mom is teaching me to "sit" and calls me for a treat about a zillion times a day. We went to a big dog show and met lots of people and other dogs, too. Grace and I were there to watch Trudy strut her stuff. I wish I could find a forever home, though, so I can have my own Momma and Dad like Trudy and Gracie do.
