Denise: 11/18 - My first day

Hi everyone   I'm Denise, but people call me  Dee as well.  I'm 2 1/2 years old but I managed to run a lot of races until I hurt my leg and started this "retirement " thing. 

I just spent my first day with my foster family and I had so much fun!  I went on a couple of walks outside but not too far because I still need to get my strength back in my leg.   I'm a great leash walker my foster family says.

I heard a lot about these things called steps.  My foster home has a bunch of them. I'm really good with the shorter flights but I'm still working on the larger ones.  I'm a fast learner!  Once I'm up I do a great job of settling down for the night.  I didn't pace too much and I already have a favorite bed.

My foster family has two other greyhounds that I get along great with.   they are showing me the ropes of retired life.  I am learning no eating of the kitchen table or counters but mostly about laying on the most comfy beds ever!  I know when it's not okay to do something and when I do something right because I get lots of praise and pets.

I also have a 10 year old human foster brother who I love.  He loves to pet and talk to me.  I gave him some kisses and some to my foster mom and dad.

I'm sure to have lots of adventures in the coming weeks and I will share as often as I can.

Love, Denise
