Baby it's cold outside!

"Ohmygoodness....I got up this morning and it was sooooo cold outside I didn't know what to do.  My foster mom put these awesome jammies on me and now I'm toasty and very happy.  I hope she lets me wear them all day.  I feel they really show off my caramel colored eyes. Don't you?

I'm still looking for my forever home.  I made a little video for you - directly from me.  I'm very sweet, a little shy until I learn what you're all about, but I love yummy treats and I'm always willing to come around for them.  Hope you have a wonderful weekend!  As for me, I'll be at Caring Hands Animal Hospital, Bristow on Sunday 11/27 (11-2) with a foster brother or sister.  We are going there to tell all kinds of people about the retired Greyhounds and what wonderful pets they make.  I'm a little nervous but foster mom keeps telling me I'm gonna be just fine.  She hasn't let me down yet.  

Well that's all for this morning - enjoy my little video!"

Someone has a spazzzzzzz!

Feelin' Happy!

Getting it right

I'm still trying...

On the bright side, I saved room for my foster brother Beezie!

Girl Power

Me and my posse!

Foster mom says I am learning well.  I am really food motivated so that helps with getting my attention during training.  I have mastered jumping in and out of the car by myself and I am getting better and better going up and down the steps.  I crate well and love to go into the crate when it's meal time.  Otherwise foster mom tosses a treat in there and I run right inside.  House training is going super well and I have only had 2 accidents over the last couple of weeks.  I am still a shy when foster mom and dad take me out in public but every time they tell me I am doing better.  On the flip side I am totally open and fun loving in the house.  I love toys, antlers, and squweakies.  I sleep in the bedroom at night with all the other dogs and I really really really like to be covered up so I stay nice and toasty.  I'd also enjoy pajamas.  Foster mom puts them on me sometimes and I sleep like a baby!  I get along with the kitties here and I have met many small fluffy dogs that I do well with as well.  Foster mom always makes sure introductions are done properly.  I am still learning everyday and it is all so new and interesting.  Sometimes I am still a bit uncertain of new things but when someone takes their time and goes slow I usually get used to it quickly.  I may never be a super social butterfly out in public but I will try really hard as long as you expose me to these things slowly.  I am going to make my forever family so happy with my silly self and my snuggly side.  I can't wait to meet you!  Now it's time for a nap! (I have mastered napping)

WHAT!?!?!?!?

Foster mom said something about an adoption event coming up!  I'm very excited and I'm busy practicing my cutest alert face.  What do you think?

Or this.....?

Plus I am really sharpening my yogurt eating skills!

I will continue to practice all my new skills until I meet my forever home.  Foster mom says if you are interested in meeting me you can put in an application at GEGR.org.  There's lots of good information about Greyhounds there as well.

Look twice

Here I am with my foster brother "Beezie".  Foster mom was surprised when she looked up and I had managed to wiggle myself onto the bed with him.  He tolerates my silliness.  

I like da toys!

So as I am getting more and more comfortable with this retirement gig, I've decided that I like to play with toys.  Not just any toys, mind you.  I especially like the ones that make noises back at me.

Playing in the yard.

Sometimes there are no words adequate enough to describe the joy on a dogs face.  This would be one of those times.

Learning the ropes

Hi there, 

I've been so busy learning about all the post-retirement stuff that I completely forgot to share with you how I've been doing.  

First, retirement is awesome.  I am still a little shy with strangers but warm up quickly.  My foster family have been taking me for some short walks to introduce me to the big world slowly.  I like what I'm learning.  I still get a little skittish with sudden noises out there but I recover quickly and don't need any babying.  Here are some photos of me walking with the big dogs!  I was very proud of myself.

I was definitely holding my own but my foster brothers stayed close to me just in case I needed them.

I think we were a really good looking trio.  

On our way home the neighbors dog was outside and came over to meet us at the fence.  His name is Bogey and I hear him bark over our way sometimes but this is the first time we met.  He was very happy to see us and share a smell.

When we got home I was plum tuckered out but I really enjoyed my afternoon.  Foster mom says my leash skills are getting better all the time.  I am available for adoption so if you are interested in meeting me please fill out an application at GEGR.org.
