Dogwood 4-27-18

Hey everyone, I'm Dogwood! I'm excited to meet you! I'm very excited! About EVERYTHING!! I have had so many new experiences these past few days and I have loved almost every single one of them!! (But one was getting a shower and we won't even talk about THAT one!! 😒) But going for rides in a car where I can see out the windows, living in a people house, meeting my foster family, and seeing myself in a mirror for the first time---- these things are AWESOME! Kinda like me, I think I'm pretty awesome too! My foster family went on a little trip for the weekend so I am hanging out with Miss Woodbury's foster family for a few days. She is nice and her foster family is okay too. Counting me there are five of us greyhounds here and I'm the youngest of the bunch so I'm trying to learn from the others. There is one other kid here about my age so he's helping to show me the ropes of living with a family. So far I have learned how to take all the toys out of the toy bin and play with them, how to go to the door to tell the people when I need to go potty because we aren't supposed to do that inside the house, and how to wait for someone to open the glass door instead of bonking my head on it. (Just because you can see through it doesn't actually mean you can walk through it! Who would've known?) I am learning that when we get in our kennels at night and have bedtime cookies and the lights go out I should be quiet and sleep until there is light again. I am also trying to learn some very important words like "off" and "leave it". Boy it's a lot for a kid to learn but I'm trying my best! Here are some pictures of my adventures, I hope you enjoy them!
This was on my first car ride that wasn't in a dog hauling truck. I was tired at the end but the people say this picture shows off my gorgeous eyes!

This is probably my favorite thing in a house so far-- it's a TOY BOX. A toy box is full of all kinds of wonderful things to chew on and play with. Some of them squeak, some crinkle, and some are just nice to chew on. I tried them ALL!!

Here I am chewing on one of the squeaky toys, I love the sound it makes when I bite it!

After so much fun I needed a rest. You can see some of the toys I sampled on the bed behind me. I wanted to keep them all close in case I wanted to play with them again as soon as I woke up from my nap! Fo-mom said this pic shows off my cute wonky ears too!
Well that's all for now, it's almost bedtime and Miss Woodbury wants her turn on the computer. Good night everyone!  Dogwood
