Day 5

Foster Mom says I'm starting to come out of my shell a little. I'm not real sure what she's talking about because I don't have a shell; shells are for turtles and they're slow!!🐢 I'm a racing greyhound and I'm FAST!!!!! Anyway, she seems happy that I'm starting to wag my tail more and greet people when they come into the house and play with toys more.



At night, I sleep in Foster Mom & Dad's room with my two greyhound foster sisters. Last night, I really had to go to the bathroom at 3am. I figured Foster Mom wouldn't be happy about it but when ya gotta go, ya gotta go, right? So I stood at the gate to the hallway & whined until Foster Mom woke up and took me outside. Once I got into the yard, I took care of business in a hurry and then went back upstairs and went right back to sleep. Foster Mom wasn't angry at all; she said I was a good girl for letting her know and not making a mess in the house.
 

This afternoon, I went to a retirement community where people could meet me and learn about retired racing greyhounds. Most of them were too old to want to adopt a young greyhound like me but I was on my very best behavior and got lots of compliments and ear scratches. There were a bunch of other greyhounds there - Spirit, Lucy, Pink, Rosie, Jack, Diesel, Jazzie & Chica - it was really nice hanging out with some of "my people!"

Adoption Day!!!!!!!

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...

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 ...

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?
