Quinn's Return to Lab Crew

Hi Folks!

So, as many of you read, I got adopted last week. However, today, I made my return to Lab Crew!

The family who adopted me decided that they may have "rushed" into adopting a dog, and didn't know if they were up to the energy a young lab brings into a home. During my short stay in their home, I learned a lot! But I realize that I still have many tricks to learn, so I will continue working on them with the Lab Crew! Hopefully if you stop by to see me, I'll be able to show you everything I know!

My foster mom is really excited to have me back with the Lab Crew, so were my foster sisters, Cooper and Mady, as well as my NEW LRNC foster brother, who I will tell you all about soon!

I am off to play with my k9 foster siblings, but I hope you'll check back soon!

Love,

Quinn

Quinn's Forever Family

Hi Folks!

So, I have big news...

I GOT ADOPTED!! YAY!

Yesterday I had an adoption visit. I was nervous to meet the family, but they like to play ball as much as I do, so we got along great! We visited for awhile and I fell in love with them (and they loved me too!). Now I have my very own forever family, I can't tell you how amazing that feels!

I was a little sad to leave the Lab Crew, but I am so excited to go to my new forever home. Please check back soon to find out about the Lab Crew's new foster dog!

Check ya on the flip side!

Quinn's Vet Visit

Evenin' Folks!

I went to the vet today, just for a check-up. I am healthy as a "horse" as they say! I do have a bit of dry skin, but the great news is: I have gained 14 pounds since I moved in with the Lab Crew!! I am now up to 72 pounds! When I came here, I was so skinny, you could see my ribs, backbone and hip bones...but not anymore! I am one handsome fella!

My foster sister Mady got spayed today also. She is very sleepy tonight and my foster mom is letting her rest in the other room. I hope she is feeling better soon, because she and I love to play together!

I am very excited! On Saturday, I am going to meet a nice family! They are interested in possibly becoming my forever family! I am really looking forward to meeting them and seeing if they are the right family for me! I'll keep you posted on how my visit goes!

Love,

Quinn

Quinn's Weekend

Hi Folks!

The Lab Crew had a fantastic weekend! Did you?

Today was bath day, of course, and I am really getting over my fear of water! Bath day is also cleaning day for the Lab Crew, so I helped my foster mom by dusting the coffee table with my tail!

This morning on our walk, I saw my first cat. I wasn't really sure what to think (neither was my foster mom, she is not a big cat fan!), I just stood, staring at the cat and watching its every move. Apparently, the cat wasn't a fan of me, because it ran away. Cats are perplexing creatures I decided!

I have been really busy eating and trying to gain weight since I moved in! My foster mom thinks I look fabulous! I have to go to the vet on Tuesday, so I'll have to report back on how much I weigh now! On Tuesday, my foster sister, Mady, is getting spayed. She is finally old enough! I told her not to be scared, that they doctors would be very nice to her.

I hope you had a great weekend! I'll check back in with you after my vet appointment!

Love,

Quinn

Quinn's Favorite Game

Hello!

It has been a busy week for the Lab Crew! We are looking forward to the weekend!

From my recent poll, some of you wanted to know about my favorite game. I really love any game that involves running! Chase, Tag, Keep Away or retrieving the ball! I really enjoy running and playing with my foster mom or my foster sisters!

I've been working really hard on learning a new command, "down". When my foster mom asks me to "lie down", she is asking me to lay on my tummy. I'm getting pretty good at it! I've also been doing really well with my jumping. When I first moved in, I jumped up on people when I got excited, I also jumped up so I could counter surf. But I don't really do those things anymore, because I know it isn't polite!

I'm off to play some tag with my sisters now. I'll check ya later!

Happy Birthday America!

Happy 4th of July!

I'm not quite sure what to think of the fireworks and sparklers, but I do want to take the time to wish everyone a safe and happy 4th!

I also want to take the time to thank the men and women who have served, or are serving this great country we live in! Here is a link, feel free to check it out. It is a video clip of a friend of my foster family, who was on the Today Show. He is a former US Marine, who is a true hero. I sure do look up to people like him! Even though I'm a dog, I hope that I can make a difference in someones life, just like he did! Check out his story!

Injured Marine turns tragedy into triumph July 3: After being injured by a roadside while serving in Iraq, Marine Sgt. Keith Zeier overcomes all odds and embarks on a 100-mile race. NBC News' Kerry Sanders reports. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/31724924#31724924

My foster family and I are just enjoying spending time together today. We played ball and grilled some hot dogs. I think I would like hot dogs, they sure do smell good, but my foster mom is being very careful and hasn't dropped any for me to eat! Ugh! Oh well, maybe next year :) Wishing you all a wonderful 4th!

Quinn's Favorites

Hi Friends!

From my recent poll, I see that some of you would like to know more about my favorite toy and my favorite place!

My favorite toy:

I LOVE my kongs! I have one regular kong and I have one squeaky kong. I love them both equally! My favorite treat to have in my regular kong is peanut butter (frozen). What a yummy treat!

My favorite place:

My favorite place in the whole wide world is right next to my human companions. Wherever my human companions go, I like to go. In the evenings, I enjoy laying in my dog bed, in CLOSE proximity to my foster mom, while we watch Dog Whisperer.

I hope you enjoyed this small insight to some of my favorite things! :) Tomorrow is 4th of July, and I am very much looking forward to celebrating with my foster family!

Love,

Quinn

Quinn's Foster "YaYa"

Hi Y'all!

The Lab Crew is having a great week! My foster YaYa is here, visiting from Wisconsin! It has been so much fun meeting and getting to know her! She was surprised with how many kisses I gave her! :) She also liked how polite I was and that I held open the door for her, ladies first after all! What can I say, I'm a southern gentleman!

The 4th of July is just a few days away, and I am so excited to celebrate with my foster family. Do you have any plans?

Check ya later!
