Sunshine: 10/29 - newly retired!

Hi Everyone!  I'm Sunshine...

Yesterday was a long day.  Early in the morning we all got in a big van and traveled for hours and hours to a place called Greyhound Central.  When we got there, we got to eat!!! I love to eat!!! Then we got a bath and got stuck with a needle, and now I am micro-chipped.  We got our toenails cut and our ears cleaned and had our pictures taken.  All of the other dogs were taken away but then I went upstairs with Karen and Lisa and hung around in the living room with seven other dogs! One of them doesn’t even look like a greyhound.  He is grey and small and barks a lot but I liked him ok.  It was fun.  Then when it was time to go to bed I got to sleep in a thing called a walk-in closet.  It was like a giant crate with things hanging in it.  I got two of these cool treats called Canna biscuits and slept all night long.  This morning I had to go out in the pouring rain and do my business, but I was a good girl.  Then I had breakfast…I love breakfast!!!  Then I hung out for a while on a really soft bed….then I got to go for a walk and I got to smell all kinds of new things.  Now I know what deer smell like, and corn and night creatures.  I was pretty good on lead but I do like to weave a bit.  I know that I will get better at that.  Oh, and I don’t like slippery floors but I promise to work on that too.  So today these really nice people named Michelle and Darren are picking me up to take me to meet my foster mom.  I don’t know what that means but things have been pretty good so far.
