Hey! I'm Gordy (or Gordon as my foster dad likes to call me). I made my way from Texas and I am currently about 40 lbs. I am trying to keep up with my looooong legs, and I plan to be a big, strong dude.

So far, I have befriended every dog I have met, and even if they are far away, I like to just sit and stare at them from the yard, in hopes they will notice me, and I can gain another friend! My favorite play is either wrestling, fetch, getting other dogs to chase me, or chasing bugs, and recently I discovered I LOVE my puppy pool. I try scuba diving with my long snout and enjoy jumping in and out of it as quickly as I can. I get some serious air when I am excited!     Look at me playing in my pool.

I am mostly potty trained and will usually boop my foster mom's leg with my nose or lick her kneecap when I have to go! But I'm still a puppy, so sometimes I just forget. I have not had an accident in my kennel and don't plan on it! Even though I'll go into my kennel without hesitation, I don't like it when the humans leave and will be loud for some time. For that reason, I should probably go to a home without shared walls. The only other time I am super vocal is when I am feeling really playful. You know what they say, play hard, sleep hard. I am the best sleeper. I will nap anywhere, and yet always sleep through the night when it's time for bed! The moment your alarm goes off, I am ready for the day! 

Lastly, I have to admit, even though I seem really confident, I get really nervous meeting new people. I will likely need to continue to work on this and need a family that will be patient while I do! I really enjoy learning new things, and I think this will be something I will  overcome with training, effort, patience, and time. Once I get to know someone, I tend to really like following their every move. My foster parents can always find me one step behind them, wagging my tail so hard I wiggle my whole body!
