Adoption Day!!!!!!!

Image
First thing this morning, Foster Mom announced that today could be the day I get my forever home. Hmmm...I'm good with just staying here, but Foster Mom sounded really excited and said a forever home is even better than here! She said she wanted to get a photo of me with my Foster Sisters - Janey and Ellie - in case this is my last day with them. After lunch, Foster Mom said that Stephen & Alex & their greyhound Jewel were on their way from Wilmington. OK, I'm waiting patiently. When Stephen & Alex & Jewel got to Foster Mom's house, we all walked together outside, then spent some time getting to know one another in the house. I liked Jewel and she liked me right from the start. I gave Stephen a kiss as soon as I met him and that pretty much sealed the deal! So, this is the last entry in my "BB Greyhound Comes to Bethany Beach" blog. But it's just the start of my new life with Stephen & Alex & Jewel, plus 3 kitties, 5 sugar gli

My Mamma's name is SE's Millie F; my Daddy's name is KC and All. That's where the first part of my racing name, SE's KC Bee Bo, came from. Foster Mom did a Google search and couldn't find any photos of my mom, but she was white & red just like me. Foster Mom DID find 2 pics of my dad. Here he is - handsome, right? I think I look like my dad. Agree? Check out those ears!

BB Goes to the Vet

Yesterday, Foster Mom said I had a funky smell coming from my "girl parts" so off I went to see the doctor. The first person I met there - Vet Tech Lady - was really nice...until she stuck a thermometer in my butt! Seriously?! How rude!! Foster Mom says, "Stop it!" if I even SNIFF another dog's butt! Then I met the Vet Man. First he loved on me and said I was beautiful. I gave him my best lean and wagged my tail all happy-like - little did I know what was comin' next. Then he checked me out and said my eyes, ears, heart, lungs, joints, and feet were all really healthy but my "business end" needed some work! He asked me if I would pee in a cup - again, seriously?! When Foster Mom said I didn't know that trick, he said, "No worries, we have a Plan B," and took me into another room with another Vet Tech Lady. By the time I got back into the room with Foster Mom, I sure wished I had known how to pee in a cup! Geez, more stickin&

The Mighty Hunter

While I was out walking with Foster Mom & my 2 greyhound foster sisters this afternoon, I was sniffing around in the grass and BAM, I caught me a baby mouse! Caught it all by myself! Foster Mom yelled, "Drop it!!"  I said, "No way!" Foster Mom tried to pry my jaws open. I said, "No way!" Foster Mom kept yelling but I kept holding onto my mouse - hey, I caught it, fair & square! It finally took Foster Mom & Foster Dad to pry my mouth open just wide enough to drop the mouse, and then Foster Mom pulled me away from it. No fair...it was MINE! If I can't have the mouse, can I at least have a cookie?

Don't.Like.Rain.

Foster Mom (with me under cover but standing at the gate to the yard while it's pouring down rain at 6:30am): BB, you need to go pee. BB (holding my ground & refusing to move): Nope. Not moving. Don't.Like.Rain.🌧 Foster Mom (after dragging me into the yard): BB, go pee. BB (standing in the rain like a statue): Nope. Not moving. Don't.Like.Rain. 🌧 Foster Mom: I've got all day BB. Go pee. No pee, no breakfast. BB: Nope. Still not moving. Don't.Like.Rain. Foster Mom: I WILL win this battle, BB. Go pee. BB: Sigh. Alright. I'll pee. But I STILL Don't.Like.Rain. 🌧   

Sleepover

Foster Mom had to go away for the day and said I couldn't go with her & my  foster sisters. She said something about another dog there who might not be too happy about a new greyhound sniffing around all her stuff & sleeping on her beds. So, I went to a dog sitter who has a greyhound named Lucy. I've met Lucy & Dogsitter Lady before at Meet & Greets and for a walk on the boardwalk but I had never been to their house. It turns out they have a nice yard and good beds. Lucy & I walked together, played together, & hung out together. Dogsitter Lady said my ball skills are getting better; I chased the ball when she threw it and even brought it back to her. I was extra good at Dogsitter Lady's house because foster dogs are always lookin' for a forever home and ya never know where ya might find one! Dogsitter Lady told Foster Mom I was a dream but I'm not, I'm a real greyhound! She said I ate all my meals, didn't whine or pace or have an

Foster Mom (with the vacuum cleaner turned off): BB, I need to vacuum your dog bed. Me: But I'm really comfortable here. Not movin'. Foster Mom (with the vacuum cleaner turned on): BB, can I please vacuum your dog bed? Me: But I'm really comfortable here. Still not movin'. Foster Mom: BB, if I can't vacuum your dog bed, then I'm gonna vacuum you! Me: Whatever. STILL not movin'.
