Photo Shoot

Foster Mom says the camera loves me! I say there's nothin' wrong with that!

Whatever

Image
Foster Mom: Oh BB, you are such a good girl! When you met Coco, the "store kitty" at Millville Pet Stop, you didn't try to catch her or eat her! That means you can be adopted by someone with an indoor cat! 💙 Me: Whatever. Now about those treats you bought while you were there... Foster Mom: Oh BB, sooo cute! What you're doing is called sphinx position & not all greyhounds do it! 💜 Me: Whatever. I call it waiting to eat...and I'd already be eating if you hadn't picked up that camera!   Foster Mom: Oh BB, sooo cute! What you're doing is called roaching & not all greyhounds do it!💛 Me: Whatever. I call it sleeping...and I'd still be doing it if you hadn't picked up that camera!

Learning to Play Ball

Image
In the yard this morning, Foster Mom showed me a ball with a squeaker. I LOVE squeakers! As soon as the ball started running, I chased it...because I'm a greyhound and chasing is what we do! I couldn't figure out how to make the squeaker sound come out of the ball but the chasing and catching part sure was fun! I hope we play that game again soon!  

First Trip to the Beach

Image
Today Foster Mom loaded me into the Jeep - just me, no foster sisters - and took me to a place called Bethany Beach. OMGEEE!!!!! What a greyt place! There were dogs - lots of dogs - big dogs & little dogs & barky dogs & friendly dogs & not-so-friendly dogs. They sure looked different than the dogs I lived with at the track and the adoption kennel, but I was friendly and wagged my tail at every single one of them! There were people everywhere; some of them asked Foster Mom questions about me and petted me and scratched my ears - fine by me!! One lady liked me so much that she pulled out her phone & took a photo of me to show to her family. She said she used to have a dog but it died and she really wanted to wait before she got another, but she also called me sweet & gentle and petted me. She lives pretty close to Foster Mom's house so who knows, maybe I'll see her again. And there were children everywhere - in strollers, on skateboards, or just wa...

Day 6

Image
Some greyhounds don't sit...but I do! The first thing I did on the long trip from West Virginia to Delaware was sit myself down right behind & between the 2 humans doing the driving so I could see out through the windshield. I had a much better view than the other 4 hounds in the van - see how smart I am? At Foster Mom's house, I sit in my crate when I finish eating.
