Dutch Bourbon: 10/5 - OMG HE'S VICIOUS!!!!!!

Look at this savage beast!  The unidentifiable victim of his rampaging evil is my 11 year old, who fell asleep on the floor.  Tell me, do you want such a wild, unhinged, raving demon in your home?????

of course you do!  because he's so cuddly!

:)

note:  he may not savage, or evil, or rampaging, or wild, unhinged, raving and demonic, but he IS cuddly and good with kids!

Dutch Bourbon: 10/5 - Truckin' Right Along

Hey everyone!  It's time for a Bourbon update!  This boy is super affectionate and loves to gives kisses.  He is happy just chillin' out on a comfy bed (see above).  You can tell he is happy when he wags his tail helicopter fashion. It's completely adorable.    So far this week he has discovered toy, mastered the art of going up and down stairs, found out he can sleep on a dog beg outside his crate and shares beds with my two greyhounds like a little gentleman.  He's great with little kids (he met a 5 year old recently) and bigger kids alike.  One caveat, though - don't hold out your hand unless you want an adorable greyhound named Bourbon to fill it with his head for you to rub and scratch.  If you're looking for an awesome, friendly, affectionate, super cute addition to the family, you can't go wrong with Bourbon.  The dog.  I mean, the drink is pretty good, too, but a bottle of bourbon doesn't often express happiness to see you, though you might express happiness at seeing it. 

Dutch Bourbon: 10/1 - new retiree

Here's the funny thing.  I have a greyhound named Whiskey.  Now, I'm fostering one named Bourbon.  I suppose they do kind of go together. 

Bourbon the Greyhound had a looooong day.  He started out with a very long car trip from Charleston, WV - with traffic it was about 8 hours.  When he finally got to Greyhound Central (GHC) in Southern Maryland, he had to eat, get a bath, get his nails done and go through the process of getting ready to go home with a foster family.  That's where I come in.  Once he was done at GHC, we put him in the car for a just-over-2-hour trip back to our house near the northeast corner of Maryland.  We got back here at 10:30pm.  his day started around 8am.  He was exhausted!  He was perfect on the car ride, though.  No whining, just stretched out and napped for most of it.  When we got here, he had to meet my two 'hounds, Whiskey and Pepper.  The introductions went really well, but it was late, so he found his bed and everyone else went to bed, too.

We got up this morning and he had breakfast, a mid day break and a nice dinner.  He discovered dog beds outside of his crate (this is pretty big for a day one foster), was very outgoing and affectionate and generally made himself at home.  He's been nothing but amazing all day.  Very friendly and a joy to have around.  Tonight, we're going to work on stairs!  For folks who don't know greyhounds, they live a very flat life and many don't know how to walk up and downstairs, they don't play with toys and take time to adjust to life outside their crates.

Tomorrow, maybe I'll tell you all about his special features!  Hint, they're adorable!!
