HELLO POPEYE! 

Hello world!! My name is Popeye. I’m part of a trio that was named after some show about some guy that used to eat spinach out of a can and then get really strong. Not sure what that is all about, but I don’t think that I would like spinach unless it was in the form of a bone to chew on. My mother is a Lab/Heeler mix, and my dad is a Pit Bull/Boxer mix, but me, I am all puppy at 6 months old!! This is an interesting thing to be I tell you. There are SO many rules, but I’m learning them all! I’m a very good student. I’m running about a B average, but from what I gather, that’s pretty good for someone my age. I have even eaten some homework at my foster home because it was left out where I could get it. Oops. I guess this is a bad thing, but in my defense, it was left out and so I thought I could eat it. I’m learning that just because things are out, doesn’t mean they are for me though. I’ve gotten some more toys to chew on so I leave other stuff alone, and it’s helping. So, there is this thing they call a crate. Ummm, I’ll go in it when you ask me to, but I would much prefer to be out with you. I whine to remind you of this, but it’s only for a minute and then I decide to take a nap. Naps. That word is about as good as that treat word. Almost. Treats. Now that’s a word I LOVE to hear. I’m learning that if I do things that you ask me to, I get some of them. Like when I sit, a treat appears. It’s MAGIC!!! I’m still learning other things because I get so excited when getting my treats that I can get a little bitey. I tell them I’m just a puppy, but they say I can’t use that excuse forever, so I’m working on my manners. When food comes out, whoo wee!!!! Now you’re speaking my language. It’s like treats, but so much more, so I’m learning to calm down before I get my food! Oh, and I LOVE kids!! Why you ask?? Well, those little people are so fun! They run, play, giggle, pet me, and just love on me all the time. Who isn’t going to love that?!?! Oh and another thing, when they eat, they sometimes drop some food on the floor!!!! OMG!! That food is better than mine, but I keep getting told not to beg, whatever that means, but I don’t think I’m going to like that rule overall. Anyway, when you bring me home to live with you, maybe you will share some of your food with me :) Oh and one last thing before you go and talk to your family about bringing me home. I’m a “little” bigger than 5#, but I think that’s all I weigh when I sit on your lap! I LOVE snuggles with anyone and everyone, so make sure that you let your family know that please. Well, okay. I think that covers almost everything, so I’ll just keep working on bringing up my GPA, minus eating the homework part, and wait for you to get here!! Are you on your way?? Okay, I’ll stop bugging. See you in a bit!! :)
