Foster update: As some of you know, I've been fostering a dog from the Athens Animal Services. His name from them is Pitty Smalls, but I hate to call him "Pity," so I've been calling him Biggy. He's been incredibly easy to have in my house. He's affectionate and playful and likes to get in his crate, where he's quiet as a mouse all night. He did great with other dogs at the adoption event in Winterville yesterday. Biggy is available for adoption; I don't think there's a sweeter dog in all the land.

Update: I was walking down the sidewalk when I saw Pitty Smalls in an interaction pen playing with visitors. A young child was throwing a ball for him to chase, and it made me smile. Pitty Smalls is a sweet, gentle dog, and watching him I wondered if he'd lived with children in his previous home. He's always a good boy for me, and I hope he finds a new family to love.

Pitty Smalls is a friendly dog and was ready for fun in an interaction pen. I threw a tennis ball for him, and while he didn't bring it back, he had the best time chasing it. He tried picking it up but fumbled it and then kept kicking it as he ran to get it. Maybe that was part of his game to keep the ball moving. Eventually, Pitty Smalls wore himself out and joined me in the shade where he enjoyed scratches along his back and behind his ears. He's a sweet, happy boy.
