Guten Morgen, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Foster Munter. For those of you who aren't bilingual like me, Munter is German for lively or sharp-witted. I have been in my neues haus for just over a week now and meine foster Mutter says I try daily to live up to my name. I am zehn (10) years old but I like to believe I am Junggebliebene (young at heart). I have arthritis, but I still love to do the Boxer zoomies outside as often as possible! I like other dogs and I'm very curious about other animals like cats; I enjoy chasing them, but only because I want to play (I'm lively remember?) Another thing I love is die kinder! Mutter calls them children, but either way they are fun, especially to watch! Most of the time that's what I do, observe. I am quickly warming up and getting comfortable with affection, but I do like my personal space. Mutter on the other hand gets no such luxury! I follow her everywhere, even into das badezimmer! (She says you'll have to look that one up yourself!) I am completely house-trained, but I do not like the crate. You see, at my age you get set in your ways and truthfully, that thing frightens me. Stairs are hard for me because of my legs, I go up okay but usually need help coming down. Mutter says I am such an easy dog that I will soon find someone who wants to give me a "fur immer zuhause". I told her that "a forever home" sounds like heaven in any language.

Bis spater,
Herr Munter

10/26 Update   

Hallo Freunde!
Well today has been a month since I've been in my foster haus.  I have really come out of my shell and Mutter says I'm going to be wonderful company for someone. I am ein dunner Mann (sounds better than skinny!), but besides my arthritis, the doctor gave me a clean bill of health! Achy joints don't keep me from my favorite things though. I like balls and I LOVE zu rennen! Mutter says when I run my legs make me look like a baby giraffe! I've never seen a giraffe but I'm pretty sure I'm more handsome. I continue to avoid the other dog here, but I canput her in check if I need to. Mutter won't let us have toys together because I can be a little possessive of mine. We do dine together and I am always on my best behavior. I love to play with the cat but evidently he likes zu rennen too because he is hard to catch! I spend most of my time on my soft bed because it feels good to my legs. Sometimes I curl up beside Mutter, but most of the time I prefer my own space close by. The children still come around a lot. I love them but know to take it easy and have never jumped on them. I really like it here, but Mutter says with a sweet grey face like mine I will go to a forever home soon!

Spater, Munter
