Canon: 6/11 - Hi everyone!

Hi everyone, it's Canon!  I just retired this past weekend and I've been having a blast.  I am learning about soft beds, stairs, walks, big back yards and rubs.  Ear rubs, who knew such a thing could be so great?
My foster family has two other greyhounds, Danny and Candy.  They are showing me the retirement ropes.  I do love the soft beds!  My foster parents work, so I am learning to be alone (without humans) for hours.  It seems like a long time when I am in the kennel and when they leave I sing, but they tell me they will come back and they always do.
I'm pretty good at the stairs and I've tried to sniff on the counter but I'm learning that is a no-no.  I was corrected at the dinner table with Mr Squirty and I will not be doing that again.
Well I need to say goodnight.  I will check in later.
Love, Canon
