Burning Desire: 8/19/19 - Hi! I'm new here.

Bernie
Hello Friends! My name is Burning Desire, but I prefer to go by "Bernie". I am a sweet, three year old, red boy with a greyt 5 o'clock shadow. I'm recently retired and have been getting settled into my foster home. The past few days have been a whirlwind! It may have only been a few days since I left the kennel, but I've already been very busy. I always thought retired life would be more...relaxed.
I'm new to this whole riding in
a car thing...

...But I'm a fast learner!
Anyway, I made it from West Virginia, to Maryland, and then finally to my foster home in Virginia. I've had a few long car rides, met some fellow retirees at a birthday party, learned about these scary things called "stairs", and figured out retired greyhounds don't have to sleep on the floor because we get our own beds. I've figured out quite a lot in just a few short days, but am quickly realizing I still have a lot to learn. 

Getting ready for a taste
of "ice cream"

I love the water.
Look at this giant dog bowl I found!

Ready to party

As you can see, I'm making the most of my retirement. I'll be spending the rest of my week practicing all the things necessary for a happy life with my Forever Family. My foster mom will take lots of photos so you can keep up with all that I'm learning. 


Until next time, 
Bernie 😘
