Whitman: 9/30 - A Grand Adventure

Hi all, I had the best adventure that I couldn't wait to share with you! I went with my Foster Mom and Trent to a house with a bunch of other Greyhounds. They were nice girls, and we had a lot of fun playing in their backyard; they even shared their toys with me! Then, we ate dinner and went to bed in the new house. I thought it was kind of weird, because I've only slept in my own crate, but Foster Mom said I was a good boy for sleeping all night. I even met a 
cat - don't tell anyone, but I was scared! It was right there on the stairs and everything! Foster Mom said I was a good boy about the cat, too.

In the morning we went to a field and got into an X-pen. Lots of people came around and petted us all day. 
It was cold, so we all wore our jackets. Lots of people said I was sooooo handsome!
Even the little kids liked me - this little kid wasn't too sure at first...
 But he decided that I was OK.
I had a Greyt day.

Tubby: 10/6

Hello Everyone,

I have learned to use a PC so now I can blog and let you know all about me.

I am a pretty happy fellow.  I have an older foster brother who is fun sometime, but he doesn't like to play as long as I like to play.  That is OK because I can play by myself and still have fun.  I like to run in the yard and I like to play with toys.

My Foster Mom (FM) is really good to me.  She loves on me and give me tummy rubs.  I like to sleep in the bed with her, but she won't let me do that; something about rules for foster dogs.   She will let me get in the bed with her in the early morning.  We cuddle and get lots of loves and kisses.  We have a good time.

When I first came here, there was a noise outside that I did not like.  FM said it was just a wind chime, but I still didn't like it.  Why would anyone want to call the wind with a chime?  FM took it down and I am more comfortable in the yard now.

I do not like small animals.  They run around a lot and are sometimes real sneaky.  I prefer to be with larger dogs so we can play and have a good time.  I like a quiet home with large people.  I think they call themselves adults.  I am really a good boy and I am very handsome even if I say so myself.

If you think I would be a good fit in your home, give the people at GEGR a call and they can tell you all about me.

Thanks for reading about me,
Tubby

Raven 10/4: Toy Time!

Now that I am getting more comfortable in my foster home I understand that I am allowed to play with the toys I have seen the other hounds play with. Hey this is fun!!

I did say sorry to my foster twin for sitting on his leg. I was having so much fun with the toy I didn't even realize I was doing that! He's really nice about things like that and letting me play with his toys but I sure hope I can find my own home and start my own toy collection soon. Maybe my very own family is reading this post right now! Is it you? Would you like to help me start my toy collection? Fill out that application on the GEGR website so you can meet me and find out if we are the perfect match! I'll be waiting to meet you! Love, Raven

Pin: 10/4 - yummy

Know what I like?  Yogurt!  FM was meal prepping the other day, and let me have the empty yogurt container to clean out for her.  I told her that I'm her guy should she ever need help in this area again.

Raven: 10/4 - The Voice

Hey everyone, have you heard of a TV show called 'The Voice'?  Me neither hahaha!! Anyway, I am such a quiet girl that my foster family was beginning to wonder what my voice sounded like or if I even had one at all. Do you know what they did? It was the funniest thing really, you should have seen them! Those silly two leggers tried to roo like greyhounds, can you believe it? Anyway my four legger foster siblings said sometimes humans do that to tell us that they are either lonely and feeling like the house is too quiet or sad that they can't really sing very well so they want us to sing for them. What was I to do? As soon as the other hounds started I knew I had to join in. So just in case you are lonely too and need to hear some beautiful music let me sing for you the song of my people! You're welcome! Love, Raven

Raven: 10/1 - The Yogurt Tub

Hey Everyone, Raven here. Today I learned something fun and yummy! When the big yogurt tub is almost empty foster mom lets us clean it out. That sounds like a chore but really it means we get to lick the bowl! Havok showed me the trick is to stick your snoot all the way in to get every last yummy bit. Here are some pictures of our fun

Okay Havok, I get it, now let me try!

Oh yeah, this really works!

What do you mean wipe my face?!

Do you have yogurt tubs you need cleaned? Tell those folks at GEGR you could use my help and I'll be at your service! Raven
