My name is Peg Rio, but you can call me Rio! I arrived from Florida yesterday and wow, I've been a busy girl! I got to VA early Saturday morning, then took a trip in a van to Maryland, where I got a spa treatment: bath, groom, microchip... and then I got to meet two little dogs and a cat! I was gentle and polite with all three of them. When my spa day was over, I got back in the van and took a trip back to VA where I spent the night with my temporary foster mom before going to my regular foster home on Sunday.
At my temp foster home, I had several greyhound foster siblings, and a little miniature schnauzer foster sibling; he is an older fellow, so foster mom said I needed to be gentle, and I did wonderfully with him.
I'm starting to learn the ins and out of retired life. I've been practicing stairs, and have just about got going down 100% on my own. Going up takes a little help and encouragement from foster mom, but I'll have it down in no time! I LOVE mealtimes, and am learning to be patient and wait for my bowl. Right now, I like spending time in my crate; it's familiar and comforting to me.

I've also started discovering the joys of squeaky toys. My favorite so far has been this squeaky snake, so I took him in my crate with me to keep me company. If you ended up adopting me and wanted to know how to get one, here's a little help (hint hint) Invincibles Sqeaky Snake

| Hello orange snake. Thanks for being a friend. |
When I'm out of the crate, I like to stay close to foster mom and keep an eye on her; after all, every job needs a good supervisor!

| Let me know if you need some help with that foster mama. |
We also took a little walk in the neighborhood Sunday morning; I'm doing well with my leash manners. There was so much to sniff! We met three non-greyhound dogs on our walk! I wasn't quite sure what they were at first; they didn't look a thing like me, but they were really nice!
I had a nice layover at temp foster mama's house, and she said I'm so sweet, she's really going to miss me, but today, I hopped back in the van and we took a short trip to meet my new foster mom, where I'll continue to learn all about retirement. I'm a great traveler!

| Heading to my next big adventure! |
Hope you'll check back in and see how I'm progressing!
Until next time,
Rio 🐾
