After the loss of two of our senior Greyhounds the house seemed so empty. Both Figgy and Macho were such a presence and provided so much love and company. The seniors are so wonderful that we decided we should add another one back into our pack. After all, five dogs just isn't the same as a "six-pack"!
So after careful consideration and a pre-interview down in Scottsdale a couple of weeks earlier, we decided that Bee should move into the Hound Hacienda. She is a delight, a 3 year old in a 9 year old's body. She is very playful, and can entertain herself with no problem...she takes toys and throws them in the air, races around the room and after almost three weeks, finally jumps on the bed.
It took awhile to convince her that it was OK to be on the couch and the bed. We encouraged her to come up, and lifted her into place. I guess she got the message, because now she comes right up on her own. She has slept next to us several nights and is a good bed-mate; she doesn't kick, stretch, or otherwise disturb the people next to her.
We hope she enjoys many happy years here, and we thank Leah for letting her go and allowing her to live with us. She was her foster for almost a year and could have stayed forever. Today is the annual Greyhound Picnic and she will go with Bella to see everyone and visit with Leah and Jim for the afternoon.
