Shaelee: 11/9 - We have a roach!

Imagine FM's delight when she saw all of this cuteness.

What can I help you with?

Don't mind my tongue.  Is it too late for #TongueOutTuesday?

Sometimes a girl has to scratch her back.  

I'm here to entertain, and I'm ready to show my new skills to my furever family!

Howie 11/9 - Hey Lady lets go look for my forever family

UThis morning Howie asked me why no one has come forward inquiring about him. He could not understand why there isn't a family just waiting for him. He said he's done everything asked of him. He's learned to share space and toys with all the other dogs. He's been a good boy in his crate. He's learning to walk like a good boy on the leash. He's even learning (and liking) all the snuggling stuff.

"Why"

 I felt bad for him, so I told him we'd go for a walk to cheer him up. He thought maybe we were going to look for his forever home.

"Is my family down here?"

"Maybe the squirrels know where I can find my family?"

 I told him his perfect family is out there looking and looking, they just haven't found him yet. He was content with that and then decided to rest...well after he insisted I rub his belly.

"Okay, I'll wait"

"But you must rub my belly!!!"

Sigma Blaze 11/9 - Don't you want a set of these of your own?

Will you look at those ears! Don't you want a set of your own? Blaze is an awesome girl who is totally turn key and just waiting for some very special family to claim her as their own. She's perfect in every way. No accidents, loves to travel, loves walks, sleeps well, eats well, crates well. She is fun and happy and just a joy to have around the house. She does like to have a few minutes of super toy zooming every day but she never bothers the other dogs and just does her thing. Blaze would do best in a home with another dog. She's just waiting and waiting and waiting. I cannot figure out why no one has snatched her up yet.

Howie 11/8 - Meetin' and Greetin'

Howie is doing wonderful in foster care.  He continues to learn about all things "retired".  By far his most favorite activity is going for a short walk.  He loves to watch the squirrels and chickens (he might like to eat the chickens) and he's always on the lookout for a human to meet.  Howie has not met a single person he hasn't loved.  He loves meeting people and socializing.

We're still working on a few things he needs to learn.  While he still will not jump into the back of the Suburban he will now put his front paws on the bumper and I just lift his fanny in.  He'll get it, one day it'll all click and he'll jump right in on his own.  We're also still working on his leash skills.  He is so excited to go for a walk that he pulls just a bit for about the first 5 minutes.  If I stop walking when he starts pulling he now knows to come right back to me and we start walking again.  Usually by the time we get to the end of the driveway he's got a nice pace going without pulling on the leash...unless he sees one of those pesky humans, then he's all for getting over to them for some petting! (He's a ham).  He also takes treats from the hand very gently.

Howie is looking for a home who will understand he's a big boy and takes up some space.  He crates well and loves, LOVES kids but would probably do best in a home with older kids and not toddlers.  Again, he's a big boy and we wouldn't want him accidentally knocking any kids down.   He's very sweet and he's looking for an affectionate home who will enjoy petting him and rubbing his belly.  While he isn't allowed on the furniture in foster care I can see where he would probably love being cuddled up to his human on the couch watching TV.

Tubbs 11/08 - A Gem of Many Facets

Hi there!

Brace yourselves.  Impending cuteness overload is imminent.  Looking at these pictures poses extreme risk of happiness and an increase in Greyhound Affinity Levels.  You have been warned.

So, What can I say about Tubbs?  Well, he's dark and mysterious.  Here he is, looking for a forever home.

He's a pensive intellectual.

He's a soulful, affectionate 'hound.  Just look at those eyes!

He's playful!

He's shy.

He's really a good boy who just wants to be loved.  He's reserved but affectionate, playful but shy, and always happy to see you when you get home.  There's really only one cure.  Spending time with Tubbs!

Shaelee: 11/8 - gator chomps

Hey everyone.  I showed FM my new trick...gator chomps AKA as chattering.  Mine were really loud so we renamed them.

FM wanted to make sure everyone knows that she normally doesn't allow the dogs to be fed from the table.  Tonight though, my chomps were too adorable to pass up.  When it's dinner time, I've learned that I can't beg, and I have to go lay down.

Taxi - 11/6/16 - What a Week!

Taxi here, reporting on my first week being retired. What a week I've had! I was at a "groomathon" and boy, did I get groomed!

 I'm shiny and clean now.

 Look out those big windows.

There's lots of cool bushes and trees here:

Lots of soft, comfy beds, too!😴

I learned how to wash dishes! I'm helping!

Foster Mom says I'm a good boy.❤️

I'll tell you all about my busy weekend next. Talk to you soon, love, Taxi
