First Few Days In A Home

Jo arrived at her foster home on Saturday evening (June 18th). It was raining and I'm sure she was tired from the two hour car ride (I know I was). She met the four other dogs of the house, one at a time of course, with polite sniffing. After a brief introduction to the four porch stairs, she got a tour of her new foster home. Jo checked out EVERYTHING with caution. The ceiling fans were a bit scary at first however, although she still gives them the evil eye, she no longer seems to be very inclined to move away from them. Actually, she is settling in like the typical greyhound...seeking out the softest bed on the living room floor! This evening she attempted her first roach since she's been here although it was short-lived due to accidentally touching my grumpy senior boy's toenail when she flipped. I'm sure she will be doing it again in no time though!

She crates very well and is quite food motivated. Fortunately she is able to have quite a bit of supervised time out of her crate here and she just lays around and observes. Unless we move toward the kitchen...it took her no time to figure out where the chow comes from!

She walks/potties on the leash in the yard with no problems. When she's off leash, she still likes to have someone close by. Especially if the neighborhood kids are out playing because they are very loud and scary! She's very sweet and is enjoying being petted and we see more tail wags every day! She doesn't really enjoy wearing her muzzle...has even managed to get it off once. She's hoping someone will want to meet her soon so she can quit wearing it!
