I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore, Dorothy. Some old guy came by the shelter this morning and sprung me from this joint. Said he was with RAGOM. Don't know for sure what that is, but it must be good! First he took me to Petco for a bath and blow-dry. That was fun and I did not mind it a bit. We went straight from there to a place where people weighed me, gave me something they call "shots", and said they would see me again on Thursday for something they call "neutering". Don't know for sure what that is either, but Foster Dad said it would make me feel like a new man (he might have said "different man"). Oh well, it should be fun to go there again because they were so nice to me when I behaved so well for them. I can hardly wait because I am also going to get my nails done (a pet-icure?) and get my teeth brushed. I feel like royalty!

That would have been enough excitement for me for one day, but then we went to my new temporary home until I am adopted. Good thing I had the experience of being at the shelter. This place is just like one, except a little smaller with fewer animals. They have 3 other dogs and 4 cats I got to meet for the first time, and that has been fun. I think we all get along just fine for being perfect strangers not too long ago.

The three of us goldens also got to take a walk together with FD. That was fun too. He put something on me they call a Gentle Leader, and boy or boy, was that different! I did not know I could walk without having to pull someone along behind me. I like this way much better, but now I have to learn to sit when we stop, but that should be pretty easy for me if FD brings the right dog treats along next time.

I gotta go now. Foster Mom says she wants to get to know me better, too. I sure am happy to be a rescue dog. Life is good! I'll write again as soon as I become a new (different?) man on Friday.

FM here - Abe is such a beautiful boy... he is supposedly 7 but looks and acts much younger.  We will update again in a day or so.. but so far, so good!!
