Dog Show
I had so much fun last night. I keep seeing all these dogs on TV. My foster mom laughed so hard when I ran to the TV and barked and played bowed. There was Husky on TV and he kept running back and forth! I don't watch as much TV as I used to, I'm usually to busy playing, but I stopped many times last night to look and turned my head. I couldn't figure out why all those dogs kept running back and forth.
I have a fun dog show story! Hey, if you would like to hear it, ask my foster mom!!
That is my quick update. Check back soon! Don't forget to look at all the dogs on the website. We all need homes. IBR has had to slow down on the number of dogs they are taking in until more get adopted. Some of my friends got adopted recently. Wonder if I'll be next.
Happy Pointer Kisses,

Like the kibbles in my bowl...
Hey I have an idea! If you are interested in me, my foster mom can tell you where she got my name from!
I've been up to so much since my last post. I've gotten VERY VERY cuddly! Now I walk up to my foster mom so she can pet me. I do love to be held too! I just melt when someone holds me.
I sit and wait for my treats too! I recently had some with venison. YUMMY!!!
I'm not fond of the whole pedicure (the vet cut one to short), but as long as I get peanut butter during and after I don't fuss to much.
Today a bunch of kids pet me, I was in heaven!! One of them must have eaten something yummy I licked his face and he just laughed and laughed!
Auntie Lisa (IBR Pres.) thinks I would be a great agility companion. Honestly, I have no idea what she is talking about. But I heard it had to do with running and jumping. Sounds good to me. I love to run and jump and play. I am very food and treat motivated.
Well that is what I've been up to. I'm still looking for my fur-ever family. Just no cats, I still think its fun to chase them, but humans think I shouldn't. That's OK though, I love to chew on toys and play with other dogs.
Pointer Cuddles,

Foster homes are always needed. If you'd like to join the IBR family please fill out an on-line foster home application. IBR understands many people can't foster, but we always need help with transports, pulling dogs out of shelters, and helping with various other events.

OH NO!!!
This morning she rec'd a phone call. Someone gave out her cell phone number, which was fine, but this person was a BAD hunter! He apparently didn't read my blog entirely, if at all. If you are a hunter please read ENTIRE blog! My foster mom cannot stress this enough. THIS IS 110% NON-NEGOTIABLE!!!!
*Good Ol' Boys need NOT apply. ALL hunting methods will discuss in great detail any and ALL hunting methods you plan on using. ALL must be positive training. I have been spayed, IBR does not follow the ignorance that hunting dogs must be in tact. Also IBR does not believe hunting dogs should live in outdoor kennels so their noses work better. Does yours work better in the cold outdoors? How would a choke collar or pinch collar feel around your neck? Think about that before putting one on any dog. Try it on yourself first! All dogs are to be pets first and possibly hunting dogs second. So if you feel a dog is just a hunting accessory to be tossed aside if it does not work, forced to live outside, and treated harshly please to not apply for an IBR dog or any dog, buy a goldfish instead!

My foster mom says I'm a very precocious little puppy. I know my name is Salem, I know the leave it and no. I'm working on sit right now.
I'm going through what my foster mom calls a "nippy stage". So I might do better with kids over the age of 8. I'm learning not to jump either, that's why my foster mom thinks kids a little old might be better. But if I'm still in foster care and not nippy or jumpy then younger kids may work. I really do love kids!
Puppies in petstores sure are cute! But at Christmas don't forget the puppies, dogs, and cats in rescues and shelters. We would all love furever homes. Sadly some of those "cute puppies" that are bought at Christmas join us in shelters when it doesn't work out and petstores don't take them back. Rescue dogs can always come back to the rescue. Once and IL Birddog Rescue dog, always an IL Birddog Rescue dog.
Check out the other dogs in the rescue. The more dogs that are adopted from the rescue opens the door for more to be pulled out of shelters and can come into the rescue. Most of us have sad stories, but usually we leave those behind at the shelter and just want a loving and safe home.
Happy Holidays,
Salem Blue

One Quick Note...
My foster mom just wanted to put in a post before the Holiday.
Today I was just a lazy puppy, it rained here all day. I ran outside really quick to go to the bathroom and ran just as fast to get back in.
My foster brother got up in the middle of the night last night...His tummy was bothering him...When my foster mom came in I whined a little to get out of my crate to, but settled quickly once I realized it was still time to sleep. Sometimes I make little moaning sounds and I'm told I snore just a bit.
I'm learning my name, down, and no. I'm catching on quick. I've been watching the other dogs outside and today I went by the door to go out.
I don't understand why I'm told, "Salem, you know you are not a lap dog." I'm only 26 pounds, sounds like a good size lap do to me! I love to held and cuddled. I let my foster mom hold me like a baby to check my spay stitches.
I'm thankful for having a nice warm crate to sleep in, good food to eat, fur friends to play with, and my foster family, but I hope I get a permant home soon.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving! I'm told I'll get some turkey, whatever that is and more pumpkin. I really liked the pumpkin today!
Happy Dreams,
Salem Blue
