Kelley: 11/12 - model material

Good evening all my faithful followers!!  Just dropped in to say HI!!!  FoMa says I should be a model.  What do you think??






Secret: 11/12 - Pictures!


I think if I curl up into the smallest, little ball ever, foster mom will not see that I'm on the couch and suggest I get down.

I love playing in the yard with the fall leaves.

I know there's a neighbor's dog on the other side of this fence.  Where did he go?

I love playing peek-a-boo with the covers.

Secret: 11/11 Loving the fall weather

Hello Everyone,

My name is Secret or as my foster family calls me, See See.  But I respond to either name because I like the attention.  I have really learned to like retired life.  My favorite things are:  eating, exploring, going for walks and snuggle time.  My foster mom says I walk so nicely on my leash, stopping to stare at squirrels, other dogs and blowing leaves.  I wish I could chase them all.  Pictures of my adorable self and more updates very soon.


Howie 11/11 - Out on the town

Today we took a ride to the Post Office and I decided to take Howie along for a quick stop at Petsmart.  He is a good traveler.  Once he sniffed every single piece of grass in front of the store and left his mark, we ventured inside. I was a bit concerned he might not like the shiny, no-grip floors but he didn't give them a second thought and marched into the store like he owned the place.

He met all kinds of people and tried to pursued each one that they were his forever family.  He would love a couch of his own by Christmas! 

"I know you're in the cat isle lady, but us Greyhounds are very much like cats.  We clean ourselves, like to lie in the sun and can curl up really small."

"Hi there!"

"How about I go home with you?"

He investigated ALL the treats and meaty knuckle bones. 

"Yum, Yum"

"Oh the good stuff"

"Okay, I'll have this one please."

On our way out he spotted a little dog and was pretty interested so we didn't do introductions but he walked away without any issues. 

"WHAT is that???"

Howie is a terrific dog who is looking for his forever home thru Greyt Expectations Greyhound Rescue.  He's ready and will be a terrific addition to your family.

Shaelee: 11/10 - pjs

It's been cold off and on, and FM has been covering me with a blanket or letting me snuggle down in the comforter. Last night she decided to try pjs. I don't know if I'm a fan of these.

I checked myself out in the mirror. #DoesThisColorLookGoodOnMe

 Fine. I'll see how these work for sleeping in. 

The things my FM does to me. Will my furever family do this too?

Kiss 11/9/16 - Kiss loves her toys

Hi there folks,

I had to post tonight that I officially love toys.   My human brother gave me this one I am loving on.  I'm really coming out of my shell here at my Foster home.  My Fo-mom really loves my personality.   She says I'm super loving and eager to please.  I'm even getting better at those stairs,  which had me scared at first.  I just need her to be beside me when I go down and going up is easy once I get started.

I'll check back in a few days and let you know my next set of adventures.

Love,  Kiss 😍
