First Meet & Greet

Guys and Gals!  Let me just bark to you about how much fun I had last weekend at PetValu... OMG!  SO much funs!  I got to hang out with other greyhounds and get pettins from strangers and smell other dogs and show people how awesome greyhounds can be.

I did keep stepping on this one greyhound, but he was laying down on the job!
Also, Harvey was there and he's lookin' for his forever home like me!

Practicing my cuteness for the meet and greet.

We were helping FoMa navigate to PetValu after she stopped at the place with treats... (where she claims to have spent a small fortune on beef knuckles we've yet to receive.)

This is how greyhounds do it!
L2R: Phil, me (isn't that a snazzy bowtie?  I borrowed it from FoBro), Harvey (who is also looking for his forever home) and Miley

I hears a squeaky?!

B2F: Phil, Reina, me, Miley

They kept squeaking toys in the direction I was looking.  I was VERY interested.

Miley gave me an eskimo kiss.

Dis lady had lots of questions so we were putting on our best cuteness show.

L2R: Miley, me, Harvey

Miley was using me for a head rest.  She's a silly girl.

Dis is Reina.  She just found her forever home a few weeks ago!
She has some space issues, but we're workin' on that!

L2R: Miley, Harvey, Phil, me.

The boys.

Mr. Bruce was teasing me and Phil with da squeaky toys.

But he was actually just testing to see if we'd like them, cause he bought them for Phil and I.
I definitely approved!

Harvey recently had some dental work.  I don't think he realized his tongue was hangin out.

On the way home we were pretty tired.

So, that was my first meet and greet!  It was so much fun!  Hopefully, my forever family will continue taking me to meet and greets when they happen in their area.

Are you my forever family?  You could be!  Fill out the application!!  Do it, do it!  Please, please please?!?!?!

Doin' the Funky Chicken..

FoMa got us some more new toys... but she only let us have one this time.  She says she's stockpiling toys with good, not-as-annoying squeakers.  She's pretty great for getting us new toys.  I loveeeeee them (when FoBro shares that is).

FoMa is also trying to get better about taking video for my fans.  

Have you filled out your application yet?  I'm waiting on my forever home and it could be with you (hint, hint)!!!!

Also, come and meet me!  I'll be at PetValu in Leonardtown, MD on Saturday, Feb. 23th!

Presents!

FoMa went shopping yesterday and she came home with presents for me and FoBro!!!

Sadly, Phil found them in the shopping bags (he could be a detective!) before she could get pics, but she got some video of me playin!

FoMa has been saying we needed some new squeaky toys around here lately, so she finally pulled through for us.  This is almost as good as Crunchy Bottle Raccoon!

Have you put in your application yet?  FoMa says she loves me, but I need to find my forever home so she can help one of my cousins find their foster home after me!

Socializin'

The other day we got to go to visit FoMa's friends!  They are used to FoMa bringing over Phil, but they were excited to meet me!

We pups get the royal treatment over there!  I love meeting new people that will give me pettins.  It didn't hurt that we got treats!

We have our own bear skin rug!

Rawhide bones to keep us entertained!

And a basket of toys under the tv!

Phil got distracted........ hehehee

..so....

... I helped him finish his rawhide!

You snooze, you lose, Old Man!!!!!


Obviously, I have some good manners because I waited until he walked away before I took his bone.  I'm a great fit with my forever family...  I just know it!  I wish you did!

Go fill out your application!!!

A whole new wooooooorrrrrlllllddddd!!!

Hi, yall, I'm Donner!  I used to be called Bokeem when I was a speedy runner, but those days are FAR, FAR behind me!  Now I'm gettin' comfy on these huge doggie beds my Foster Mom (FoMa) has for my Foster Brother, Phil.

I got the name Donner because I left the race track around Christmas time with 11 other racers that were retiring and we all got reindeer names!  How cool is that?!?!  I think my forever family should definitely hook me up with some reindeer antlers (if they celebrate Christmas, that is).  I'm down for any kinds of celebrations where I get extra treats....  (hint, hint!)

I arrived in MD and got to come home with FoMa.  I already showed the picture of me riding home.  Phil's got a pretty sweet setup for me, but FoMa says that my forever family will spoil me even more than Phil gets spoiled.  Actually, she promised.

My first day in a home I learned so much!  There are so many new smells!  So much to investigate!

FoMa says I'm doing really good.  She says I'm fully housebroken, crate trained (of course!), I get along well with other Greyhounds, I get along well with new people, I looooove pettin's, treats, dinner time, breakfast time, any time with food, naps, stealing Phil's beds, givin' FoMa (and FoDad) all my loves as often as possible....

FoDad supervising food times.

I'm a talker, so if you pretend to be one of my kind, I'll sing right along with you.
I'm a quick learner, FoMa doesn't like it when I'm in the kitchen with her, and I've grasped the concept of "OUT!" but sometimes, I like to be a show-off and instead of backing out, I just walk through the kitchen to listen to her grumble.  FoMa's pretty easy to rile up because she's very stringent on the rules.
I'd snuggle with you on the couch if you let me!  FoMa doesn't allow that, but I've definitely tried to get up and snuggle her on the couch.  I snuggled with FoDad on the floor, it's cool.

Most of all, I'm officially a retired racing Greyhound.  I'm best at napping.  All.day.long.  In all the ways.

Will you give me my forever home?!?!  Please, please?  I have soooo much love to give you.  I could melt butter with my big, beautiful, brown eyes and my grey face makes me look sooooo much smarter than that other pups that are my age!  Pretttttyyy please?  With a cherry on top?!?!?
