I am sweet as they get.  I love to play with my brother (Rollie); mostly hide and seek and then chase.  My foster moms calls me and my brother “delicate flowers” because we are not too excited to go out and potty when it is cold out.  At first I liked the white stuff but then it was cold on my feet.  Soooo, my foster mom put on doggie boots and a coat.  Boy was that fun once I realized I could run in the snow and not get cold.  I am starting to figure out that I should potty outside.  I wear a belly band in the house at all times as I guess she does not trust me.  I am kenneled with my brother at night and we get our own spaces during the day.  I “kennel up” and sit very nice when it is time to eat.  Sometimes I just stay in there because I also get treats when I “kennel up.”  Since my foster home is on an acreage, I have not yet started to train with a harness and leash but will start working on that soon.  I follow my foster mom all over and sometimes my foster sister; she gets me in trouble sometimes by showing me stinky stuff I like to roll in.  Oh well, I can’t be perfect all the time.

Ralph is an awesome little guy and is looking for his new family.  He loves kids, dogs and really doesn’t care about the farm cats that rub up against him. His neuter is scheduled for March 18^th and he will be available for local adoption up until after the 18^th.
