Sally: 5/23

Hi everyone!
Sorry it took me a bit to introduce you to Sally.  She came to us on the May 13th haul and has just been an absolute gem to have in our house!  She was very shy and timid in this big new world and our house tends to be very active.  (There's another greyhound, and 2 pitties in our pack, along with 4 cats!)  It was probably very overwhelming and pretty sure she thought she was sent to an insane asylum - lol!  She just kinda stood back and observed but was really interested in watching everything that was going on!

 But finally, her beautiful and playful personality has come through.  This morning she was even bow playing and doing zoomies (while our other hound watched her as if she was crazy because it was 6:30 in the morning!!!!)  She does great in the crate; but, she definitely prefers an open-caged one vs the enclosed type.  I even find her just chilling in it sometimes.  Let's see, what else is awesome about Sally?  Since the second she stepped in the house, she's had absolutely no interest in any of our cats ... didn't even want to sniff them or check them out!  This is her chilling out on our back porch with Mr. Rum-Tug-Tugger right there with her.


She's a champ at doing steps and does great on our laminate wood floors - there's been a couple slips but she regains her composure quickly and doesn't do the "Bambi dance".  She's great at doing retirement ... this is her taking it all in after some fun in the yard with Grande.  She was napping before we even had time to take off her muzzle!


And the best part - she loves people!  She hasn't bonded to any one of us in particular - just whoever will give her some lovin' at the time.  She is perfect with kids, even getting loved and hugged on by my 4-yr old niece!



So, that's it for now - promise you want this little gal on your list because she is amazing!
