Mac's Essie - 08/08/2018: My Daily Constitutional

Hello again friends,

One thing I'm really enjoying in my foster home is my daily morning walk.  We head out early before the heat and humidity get too high.

My foster brother, Petey, has been helping me learn about how to walk on leash.  (Who knew there were so many things to learn when one retires?!)     My first day, I was SO excited that I was pulling and weaving a lot.  Apparently, this is bad form for leash walking, so I am learning to stay close to foster mom and to not pull ahead.  It's hard sometimes, because there are lots of things to see and sniff, but I'm getting the hang of it.


Here I am with Petey.

Who doesn't love a greyhound bum?


Pete has taught me all about checking out the p-mail.  (He also feels compelled to answer every one he reads; I however, do not)

Yes, I know I'm kind of skinny, but foster mom has been giving me extra food
to help me put on a few more pounds.  I don't mind those extra snacks one bit! 




Hey Petey, is that another squirrel?!

SQUIRREL!!!!




Foster mom took me out for a walk just the two of us yesterday; I stayed right next to her side almost the whole time.  She was really proud of me!  I really enjoy my walks and can't wait for the cooler weather to arrive so we can walk longer. 


Until next time,
Essie
