There's No Place Like Home

This weekend I met the mom of my dreams. She loves me sooo much she can barely keep her eyes off me. She plays with me outside and takes me for walks. She likes to shop at Petsmart and we have been there a couple of times. Tonight she took me shopping and bought me a new bed. It is so comfy! I also have my eye on a family of rabbits that play in the yard. Boy do I get excited when I see them! I am keeping mom's house very clean and am minding my manners. This place is the best! If you will excuse me I am going to snooze now. I'll write more later!

P.S. Mom has been taking lots of pictures of me and I will post some very soon!

I've waited a long time for this day

Dear Diary,

I've waited a very long time for this day. I found my forever home. My new mom Christie met me today and liked, no loved, everything about me. She said I was waaaayyyy more handsome than my picture and that my ears weren't dopey looking at all. I showed her how I sit for treats and my foster mom even showed Christie how nicely I allow my teeth to be brushed. Mostly, I was just a gentleman and I think she liked that.

Thank you Cooper, Fame and Ginger for letting me share all of your toys and beds. I think my foster mom got something in her eye because she had to keep wiping them. Thank you for making me into the best dog I could be.

Gotta run, my new home and people await me.

I couldn't ask for a better foster

George is such a wonderful foster. I wish I were more computer saavy so that I could post pictures of him, as I would love for you to be able to see him interacting with my other greys and show how he relaxes in our home. I will have to have my children give me a lesson. George's manners are perfect, his behavior and interaction with others has been wonderful. He enjoys playing with stuffies and interacting with his greyt friends; Fame, Ginger and Cooper. He loves people and will let you know it with kisses and a very wagging tail. George takes cookies, ever so gently from my fingers and he takes them with the same gentleness from my grandchildren. He will make someone, maybe you, the most perfect companion. He is a beautiful brindle boy that is waiting patiently for his forever home.

I'm the Best Kisser

Dear Diary,

I have some fun stuff to report to you. Yesterday my foster parents took me to Greyfest. That's a real big picnic type event with lots of greyhounds and their people. I had such a good time visiting with the other greyhounds. There were so many people there that knew me. Some of them used to walk me when I was residing at the kennel and it was real nice to see them again.

My foster mom decided that she would enter me in one of the contests that was being held. It was for the best kisser. So I got in line and went over to the judge, who I never saw before, and kissed him and kissed him and kissed him, and you know what. I WON THE PRIZE. I was allowed to pick a prize out of the prize box and I'm having fun playing with my new squeaky stuffie. I still had kisses left for anyone who wanted to see how good I was.

I walked nicely on the leash and got along well with every greyhound that I encountered at Greyfest. By the end of the day I was very tired and slept all the way home. I'm still a little tired today from all of the activities.

I think I may have a few kisses in store for you, if you want to meet me.

what a wonderful boy

Usually George posts to his diary, but I asked him if it would be okay for me to write a little something about him this time.

How should I start, well, George is wonderful. He has perfect house manners, not one accident since I've had him. He will bark at me if he needs to go out, and if I'm not waiting for him at the door, he will bark to let me know he's ready to come in. He sleeps in our bedroom on his bed and doesn't exhibit any spacial issues. My greys can walk around him, across him and he is fine with that. He eats his meals in the xpen, but if I let him out before mine are done eating, he doesn't bother them. He eats like a gentleman and sits and waits for me to tell him it's ok to eat. He enjoys playing with toys and likes to play fetch. Well maybe not so much fetch as he runs after the ball and I chase him to get it back. He allows me to take the ball from him and throw it again. He enjoys this little game. He tries to play with my sons medium size dog, but Sami isn't too sure what she's supposed to do, so she just barks at George.

George is a kisser. I'm thinking of bringing him to Greyfest so I can win the prize for having the best kisser there. He loves to be petted and have attention but he's not demanding of it at all. He follows me from room to room but only because he likes to be close. If he was only small dog tolerant, I would keep him forever. If George sounds like the type of dog you would love to have love you put your application in to adopt him. He's waiting for you.

George has approved this message.

Play Ball

Dear Diary, Things have been going well for me in my foster home. The lady had some tennis balls and threw one to me. I liked chasing it but had more fun seeing the lady chase me to get the ball back. This looked like a game so I kept on running and running and she kept on chasing and chasing. I don't know what this game is called but I liked it. We both came into the house and fell asleep from all the running we did. I no longer have to sleep in my xpen at night. I've proven to the lady that I can be trusted and it's nice not having to be penned up. Sometimes I find Fame or Ginger laying in the xpen. They are silly girls. Usually I start out laying along side the bed where the lady is, but eventually I move to one of the more comfy dog beds. I'm having a nice time at the lady's house, but I'd love to find my forever home. Could it be with you?

What my perfect home will be like

Hi Diary,

It's been a while, I've been on sabbatical and while meditating, doing Yoga, eating yogurt, and pondering what my future will be, I've come to some conclusions as to what would make me most happy. I would like a home with lots of comfy cushions so I can lay where ever I want, and still be with my masters. I would prefer a home with a mature couple, that would allow me to give them lots of love and kisses and then just go lay down and chill out. I found out, through therapy, that I am Alpha. I would prefer a home that doesn't have any other pets, but could probably tolerant a large submissive friend. I am living, currently, with three other greyhounds, but they are very lowkey and they know I'm top dog (or at least they let me think I am).

If anyone reads my diary and thinks they are the couple I am looking for, please contact the lady that calls herself my foster mom and find out more about me. By the way, my head shot, on the webpage, doesn't do me justice.
