Mac's Redmond: 10/9 - Fun in the Sun!

Hey! It's just me, Red, popping in for a pup-date! 

Hello folks! Redmond here. I haven't blogged in a few days. You were probably wondering what I've been up to. Where is that handsome pup? you were probably thinking to yourself. No worries! I've been really busy with my foster family and friends, but I haven't forgotten about all of you. I have so much to tell you about! 

I know you missed this handsome face! 

On Saturday morning, my foster family took me to a place called Yorktown. Apparently it's a pretty historic place. There is a beach, old buildings, and some shops and restaurants. There was even a festival going on with lots of people and loud noises and yummy smells. I was a champ with all of it! I got to meet lots of humans, both young and old. It was so wonderful to get all those pets and ear scratches! Of course, I had to thank those kind folks for all the attention they gave me. Since I can't give hugs, I was able to say thank you with the next best thing- a good, full bodied lean! 

And that's not all! I didn't tell you the best part...I got to make friends with lots of other greyhounds! There were eight of us in all, and a small dog I was told is called a beagle. It was like a family reunion. I had no idea there were so many other retired hounds like me out there. 

Here I am meeting some new greyhound buddies! That little
hound is called a beagle. Her mom jokes that she was a grey
once but shrunk in the dryer! 

Wow! Even more friends to meet! 

We got to go for a nice walk together, hang out by the beach, and then relax in the shade while our humans talked to other humans about the virtues of greyhounds. It was a greyt outing and the perfect day. Here, take a look:

Here I am with my new friends taking a short
break. We were watching a family of "deer".
To be honest, they looked like greyhounds.
We're probably related. 

Here I am enjoying the sun and taking in the
sights by Yorktown Beach

Once we got back to my foster home, all I wanted was a good nap. That much excitement can really tire a pup out! I'm definitely not used to having so much fun. I can't wait until the day I find my Forever Family so we can go on adventures like this together! 

😴 Dreaming of my Forever Family

Until next time!

Scooter: 10/08 - Walkies!

Hi Friends! I went on walks with my Foster Brother, Azor. 

We had a fun time sniffing all the smells, and answering all of the pee-mails!

I wanna go on walks every day!

Quick Quin: 10/6 - Toy-eeez

Hi folks,

I am enjoying all things retirement, eating yummy food and treats, sleeping, playing, and especially all the toys.  I love to toss them, squeak them, chase them, and surround myself with these wonderful  things.

Hedgehog is greyt fun, I love the sound he makes and tossing him in the air.

I love to squeak toys, watch me play with snakey --- click  this link More fun toys

Rico's River: 10/6 - River Appreciation Day

Hi there! Long time, no talk! Sorry we haven't talked in a while. I took the week off to chill and relax with my foster family, but I am back in action and here to talk about my day today!

Today, my foster family took me to the Calvert Marine Museum for the River Appreciation Day! Most people are mistaken in thinking that it was Patuxent River Appreciation Day, but I think we all know what it really was. *wink wink* Nevertheless, I feel appreciated so good job, everyone.

I met so many people today. There was so much love to go around. I received tons of pats, scritches, and ear rubs. Today was the absolute BEST DAY EVER.

Foster Mom took me back home and gave me even more loving. I just didn't want her to stop and made sure I nuzzled her to encourage her to keep going. (Humans need positive reinforcement when they do something you like. I have found humans love it when you nuzzle them. They're so cute.)

Tag says: "Ask me about adopting a greyhound." I am such a hard worker. "All for the dogs!" these people say.

"Keep up the pats, lady." See? A quick nuzzle and the human realizes I want her to continue the action. So trainable, this one.

Rebel: 10/6 - roaching

Oh.My.Goodness.  You should've heard FM when I was napping last night!  She's ridiculous.  See I was just laying there.  Having a good dream.  I moved around to get situated...and there she is with the camera.

Seems a roach from a pup that's only been off the track a few days is a big deal.  Whatever.  I just wanted to get comfy.

Later Gator!

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.
