Groovy, now Cricket, came to us as an extremely shy greyhound. She was with us for 4 months, and although she progressed well on thyroid supplement, she was still a shy greyhound. Chronic, now Jack, on the other hand, is a happy and playful one eyed greyhound. They had been put together in a new home along with a third greyhound and results of their first week with photos are expressed below. This is why greyhound adoption is so fulfilling. Hi, all Well, weve survived the first week quite nicely, everyone seems to be getting along very well. Ive had no fights, no posturing, no nothing from the three dogs, they all pretty much do their own thing and more or less hang out together. Jack is a handful, and I mean that in the most positive way. Id forgotten how much fun it is to have a new dog in the house. Hes curious, friendly, playful and greets everyone who comes in the house. He has gone through all the toys, run like a crazy thing around the house and outside and is just a joy to be around. He also tries to bodyslam me to get through a door, countersurfs if you give him the chance and pokes his nose into absolutely everything. So were learning off limits areas, how to wait at the door to go outside, how NOT to go out the front door which is kept locked all the time and how to drop the food we snitched off the table.

He responds wonderfully to commands and has no food aggression, he has actually let me take roast beef right out of his mouth and stops on a dime if you tell him no comes in handy when he tried to put his nose on the oven. Hes starting to respond to his name just a little bit and again, beginning to learn the rules of the house. He doesnt really like the steps, but Im in no hurry to push him to go upstairs, theres plenty of fun for him on the first floor. We had two marking incidents in the house within the first 1. He lets me know when he has to go outside and loves, loves, loves his daily walks. Hes fitting in very nicely. Cricket. well, she has completely surprised all of us. She is still very shy, but except for two little submissive peeing incidents the first morning before she went outside, absolutely no accidents of any kind in the house. She has not peed in front of anyone at all since shes been here, and shes met 6 new people in the last week. Shes found a corner of the family room that she loves, as she can hide behind a chair. The first day, she was nosing at my hand when I sat next to her. By day three, she was poking her head up over the arm to see who was coming in and out of the house.

The Witcher series is 10 years old this month, and to mark the occasion CD Projekt Red released this teary lil clip. Literally. Every. Song. Of course, not every song has been arranged for a cappella, but if youre looking for one that has, weve got about 4000 of them. She goes for a walk every day with Jack or Houston and her head is up, her tail is relaxed and shes looking at everything the entire time, and not in a fearful way. On Sunday, as I was sitting outside with her and Jack, she came up behind me and licked my ear and nuzzled me. She now sniffs at my hand when I put it out to her and today, she took two treats from me for the very first time instead of sniffing them and waiting for them to be dropped. Two greyhound friends came over today Ann Bradley, whom you met, and another woman and Cricket let them pet her and, as they were leaving, came out of the family room, through the kitchen and into the front hallway to the front door all on her own and stood by as we talked for a few minutes. She even came up alongside Ann and let her head be petted. Lil Jon Get Low Zippy' title='Lil Jon Get Low Zippy' />So tons of progress with her. She will growl at Jack if he tries to take a treat from her hes a piglet and wants all the food all the time which is acceptable, as he needs to learn from both her and me that he may not do that, but I did have to speak sternly to her yesterday, as she growled at Houston when he came near the corner she was laying in. That I do not tolerate, so she had to give up her spot to Houston and we had a firm discussion about how she may not randomly claim parts of the house as her own and would be spending the next hour on a different bed. Which she did. Now that shes beginning to explore the house on her own, this week Im working on reducing her comfort zones, trying to get her to lay in different spots around the room so she doesnt become attached to one particular place. I want her to feel comfortable in the house, not just in one corner. Overnightsleaving them during the day have been no problem as well. Color=white' alt='Lil Jon Get Low Zippy' title='Lil Jon Get Low Zippy' />Im gating Jack in the laundry room, Cricket in the foyer area between the laundry room and family room, and Houston in the family room proper. Everyone can see everyone else and no one tries to get over a gate, no one cries or barks, everyone is perfectly happy to plop on a bed and take a nap while Im gone. Again, very good doggie manners from all of them, Im very happy with how they are adjusting. On the other hand, I figure in about a month, everyones manners should go to hell in a handbasket and it will be complete and total anarchy. Probably led by Cricket. Its always the quiet ones you have to watch Next week, were going to try the Bark Park so Jack can have a good, hard run and, if the weather is good, Im going to try him on a walk around Lake Galena. He should have a blast and he needs leash practice with distractions, so I can start getting him to focus on me, and not the squirrels.

Houston doesnt do walks longer than a mile, so Ill save the family outing until Chuck can come with me and we can take them in shifts, but they should all have a good time. Ill keep you updated Helen Marie Kennedy.
