Hey folks, it's me, Hobo, again. Great news. I have gone to be with my forever family today! I will now have some young humans to help raise up. Here's some photos.

(And remember: You can make my pictures bigger if you click on them.)

Here's me at my foster home getting ready. Can you tell that I am happy? I just had a bath earlier also. I felt so fresh. That sun feels so good... and is SO BRIGHT.
What a bully smile, eh?
I'm a happy pup, a happy pup....
Here's my new Mom and Dad. WooHoo!
Umh, this is not my car. You want me to do what?
Hmmm, maybe, I'll think about it.
I think I can....
Wow, new smells, new things.
Hey Mom, watcha doing back there?
Don't we make a great family? Thanks everyone at, and who support,  BBR!!!!!!!!!

Hey folks, I decided it was time to finally fill in some things about me. Sorry for the delay, but being a puppy has kept me quite busy, as you can imagine.

I'm Hobo and I was rescued from the Birmingham shelter on about 7 March 2012.
I weighed 33 pounds at the shelter.
But I only weighed about 30 pounds when I was neutered on 15 March.
I now weigh 35 pounds so my people think that I am about as big as I will get.
I had a very slight case of demodecdic mange when I came to the shelter but that has improved greatly through medicine, good food, and less stress.
My foster home has three other dogs (two of which are pit bulls).
Plus they have a cat. The cat has me trained to mostly leave her alone. She let me know to not disturb her existence. I try but sometimes I really want to play with her. I suspect that her hissing does not mean "let's play". But I still try while respectfully keeping my distance in doing so. You know, crazy cats. She obviously thinks she owns the house and I let her believe that fiction.
I like to go on walks and do fairly well on-leash.
I have made visits to places like PetsMart, Tractor Supply, and the local A New Leash on Life Thrift Store. I do well on greeting all kinds of folks and other critters.
I am still a goofy pup and sometimes just trip over my own four feet (especially on the wood floors).
I am happy-go-lucky.
I love to chase toys and bring them back.
My people say that I am great in the car, not excitable, and relaxed. I guess that is good. They seem happy.

So, check out all the photos I just added below. Ain't I cute?
