Sorry I haven't posted before now. My foster mom has been traveling with us a lot helping to look for Sookie, so between all my travels and learning about retirement, I haven't had much time to post. I promise I'll do better from now on.
I arrived from Birmingham, AL on August 25th. It was a long trip! Then I went to a house and got a full grooming - bath, pawdicure, microchipped, the works! Then I took another trip in a van and met my foster mom, who drove me to her house. I live here with 3 other greyhounds and something called a miniature schnauzer. I'm still trying to figure him out - he kind of smells like me, but he doesn't ACT like a greyhound at all.
So, I've been working on learning all about retirement. One of the first things I had to figure out was dog beds. I'd never seen one of those, and I didn't really get what I was supposed to do with it. The carpet was familiar; that's what they kept in my crate at the track, so for the first week, I slept on the carpet. But, all the other dogs seemed to really like the beds, so I decided to give them a try.
This was my first attempt:
 |
| I decided to ease into this bed thing. Don't want to commit too soon! |
Second attempt:
 |
| This is me with my foster brother Gabe. Foster mom said I was living dangerously! |
Getting closer...
 |
| Actually, lots of greyhounds sleep this way. There's a lot of head hangers among us! |
 |
| Slight head hang, with total body support! Oh wow, beds are wonderful! |
So, now on my wish list: a forever home with soft, comfy beds for me to rest upon!
I'm having lots of other experiences and learning lots of new things in my foster home. I hope you'll check back in soon to see how I'm progressing. And, if you think we might be a good match, go ahead and fill in that online application!
Until then,
Dolly
