Dallas (Drink to That): 11/14 - My Newest, Favoritest Hobby

Toys!!! I've discovered the toy box and it has TOYS in it! Can you believe it? I love toys! Squeaky toys, crinkly toys, rattley toys. It doesn't matter. I enjoy taking the toys out and carrying them to the other room to test for squeakiness, and then I go get the next one. Gotta make sure they all work right! Hope FoMa appreciates my interior decor skills! - Dallas

Bennett (B's Bennetti): 11/13 - Can you Believe it?!?

Like the title says, can you believe it? FoMa had some nerve. To. Give. Me. A. Bath... She said I smelled. I'm a Greyhound, and we do NOT smell.

Look at this torture! Look at it!

After my bath, I did get a fluffy bathrobe, though.

(Yes, that is tape holding the strap closed...😳)

I did get a nice, hot dinner after, so I guess I'll be ok after all.

Sledge (Kelsos Sledge): 11/13 - Learning How to Relax

Hey all you cool dogs and puppies, I'm Sledge! Did you know that "sledge" is another term for the word "sled" more commonly used in England?

Well, as much as I'd love to carry around all of your things in the snow, I'm actually just a greyhound. Also, I'm told I'm retired now which means no more hard work for me!

That's me snoozing on the bottom while foster sister Selene pulls off an interesting maneuver on the couch.

Foster mom tells me that I'm really handsome, so I try to look in the mirror as frequently as possible to make sure she's telling the truth.

I think she must be right!

Gotta go sniff around the city and figure out what type of creature my step brother is (he's a cat [foster mom edit]). Can't wait to meet you all soon!

Shark (JS Loan Shark): 11/12 - I am a Super Chill Grey!

Hi! Shark 🦈 here again! I have to say that I am not a big fan of being out in the rain...but I love coming in to snuggle up in my crate! 

My foster mom says I am such an awesome and sweet dog! I just love being with my humans ❤️!  

My foster sister loves to read me and my foster brother, Jake books 📚! 

Kobe (Coach Kobe): 11/12 - All About Me

Guess what, friends?! I have been learning so much at my foster home, like how to go up and down stairs, walk on a leash, take treats from people’s hands, wait my turn (I’m still working on that one 🙄), and how to enjoy retirement. I have also become a professional relaxation specialist.

My foster parents say that I am the sweetest boy! I sleep through the night, do my business outside, and eat all of my food (and check my foster siblings’ bowls to make sure they ate all of their food too. See? I am so helpful!). I have never shown any aggression to my siblings or humans, even when we’re playing, eating, or getting treats. 

Things I love:

- Being close to my people.

- Being a helpful assistant for all household tasks, even vacuuming (I am so brave).

- Meeting dogs, people, and children.

- Naps in the sunshine.

- Long walks where I can stand in tall bushes.

- Ear scratches.

Things I don’t like:

- Squirrels. They are the worst.

- Also baths.

I don’t know why my foster parents call me a “nosey parker.” 🤷‍♂️  I am simply being helpful by using my long, curious snoot to check out every little thing. I especially love sticking my nose in my foster mom’s morning coffee. I am also exceptionally brave; I heard fireworks the other night, and I wasn’t phased at all. 🙌

So now you know! I am a sweet, curious, and helpful boy who loves companionship, a good scratch, and a day filled with naps and treats. 🧡

Dallas (Drink to That) 11/12 : Introducing Me!

Hey, y'all! Dallas here! I'm settling into retired life here at foster mom's. It's awesome!  I'm happy happy happy! FoMa says I have helicopter tail, but I'm just so HAPPY I can't help myself.  I love everyone I meet!

I've discovered a new treat. It's called "broccoli" and it's awesome!  FoMa says I'm weird but I prefer the term "unique". 

Kitty (WW Unakite): 11/11 - About Me

 

Hello, Kitty here. I thought you might like to know a bit more about me. Here goes...

Even though I love to nap and relax, my foster parents say I am a "busy body". If I catch them walking past from one room to another, I'll jump right up to see what's going on! I really, really, really want to be where the action is. 

I love my routine and expect my breakfast, dinner and supper to be served at the same time every day. I'll either give you my big brown eyes or start pacing around if meal service is just one minute late! The good news is that I am a very neat eater and drinker and never make any mess. I even like to go to the bathroom in the same spot in the yard!

I don't need big long walks or lots of running around, but I need to do something every day to get rid of some energy. I think I would like a forever family that is either happy to take me on regular walks each day or has a yard I can do zoomies in. Maybe both?!

I have made so much progress since I've been in my foster home. I was scared of lots of stuff when I first arrived, but I've become braver and braver each day. I'm fantastic with stairs, and now I realize the trash truck isn't out to get me every Thursday morning (but maybe the recycling one is?). New things can still be a bit scary, though. I saw someone jump on a trampoline yesterday, and that gave me cause for concern! I was fine eventually, though...

One thing is for sure: I am a sweet, funny and loving greyhound!
