Artie (RT Rtwodogto) 2/11/22 - settling in

It's been nearly a week for me in retirement and I just had my teeth cleaned and vaxxed, so I'm good to go.  I love to nap and check outside out every chance I get.  I went on a walk thr other day and loved it. I find animals fascinating and I learned to bark at the vet's office. 😃

I'll check back later and let you know about my adventures.

Gym (Iwannaquitthegym) 2/11/22

 Making history....

First roach!  Googley eyes included!


Every day is a Greyt day for Gym.  He is learning to master retirement.  He is so sweet and interactive.  He discovered the toy box today but I didn't catch it on camera but I will watch for his next stuffy session and try to capture his excitement.

Gym (Iwannaquitthegym) 2/12/22

 What a beautiful day for a walk.  Gym and I got out and had a nice walk along the block.  The weather was perfect for a brisk walk with a bit of sniffing along the way...okay, a LOT of sniffing along the way but it was fun.


"Hurry up lady, times a wasting"

"which way should we go"

"This way looks interesting"

"YES! I picked the right way"
(I swear he sniffed this tree for a good 5 minutes, then left a nice tree-mail message for the next dog)

"Heading back already?  Okay but I must come back tomorrow to check my messages"

Sasha (Arroyo Sasha):2/9 - Loving the Retired Life!

Well hello there! Sasha here!



I've been retired almost a whole week, and I'm loving it! I have discovered belly rubs and they're the best thing ever! Ooooo, and ear rubs! I love love love to cuddle!   

I'm learning to climb stairs and FoMa is teaching me to sit. She says i have the nicest manners, but I'm a lady so what did she expect? 


Anyway, it's Ear Rub o'clock, so I'm off to snuggle!

Atlas (CET Atlas): 2/9/22 - SO Excited to Meet You

 HIIIIIII! My name is Atlas and I CANNOT wait to meet you!


I'm so happy to be here in Maryland with all my new friends, my tail will not stop wagging! I'm staying with foster mom in Baltimore city and there are so many people to meet!! I love it so much!!

I also have a new foster sister who looks kind of like me, but then there's this other foster 'brother' of mine...he is small and fluffy and goes "meow" and sometimes "hiss" which I think is scary...but on the bright side, we have similar markings so maybe we're brothers after all! I keep my distance from him.

My favorite thing about my foster house is the BEDS. They are so fluffy and comfy. I'm learning really quickly how to get comfortable:


Foster mom is also really proud of my first 'bed fail':


My head just wouldn't fit on there! It was still comfy. So comfy in fact that I sleep all the way through the night without a peep!


I can't wait to snuggle with YOU! -Atlas 🗺

Gym (Iwannaquitthegym) 2/9/22

 Who's out there looking for a traffic stopping good looking dog?   Well, that's what you'd have in Gym. Today while out on a walk a car actually stopped in the middle of the road and the passenger had to get out to admire Gym.  He took it all in just like it happens all the time and he leaned into her so he could get the best hugs and petting. 

Once home, he had to take a nap because all that attention can be exhausting!


Gym is a beautiful big boy looking for his forever home.  He is currently in foster care learning all the ropes of retirement.  He is still trying to perfect his dog bed skills.  Gym has a fracture repair but he is completely healed and gets around like any other dog.  He LOVES going for a walk and taking in all the sights and sounds.  He does his business outside and is even learning to go to the back door as his signal that he has to potty.  He could use a few pounds but we are working on having him gain some weight slowly, which is the most healthy way.  

Look at his stunning face and beautiful brown eyes.  He is a super model of the greyhound world.
