8.27.17 Pistol (Pack a Pistol) First full day

Pistol has settled in quite well.  She traveled home with a foster buddy yesterday as well as with her foster brother today and did a fantastic job.  She did a greyt job overnight and stayed on her bed the whole night.  Pistol will go potty on a leash easily as well as in our fenced-in backyard.

Today she went to a Petsmart Meet & Greet with her foster brother Tyler and was not shy at all.  She walked up to people with no apprehension.  She was great with people and loved meeting the other greyhounds.



Pistol does well going into her crate when she needs/ wants some quite time.  She has also shown interest in our stuffies and other toys.  There are so many new things to experience.  When she came home she took a really good nap in the crate!


She has also done well with being on a dog bed next to her foster brother.  It has been quite a whirlwind for her the last 24-48 hours and she is tired.  Good thing she is retired now - she can have all the rest she wants (and deserves).



We have been working on going up and down the steps which is a very new experience and she has already made such wonderful progress.  We are so proud of her.


until next time...
