Outdo-Adopted!!

Today turned out to be Outdo's gotacha day. A very nice couple and their son came to see the hounds and they adopted Outdo. He was a perfect match for them and he was just what they were looking for. Outdo rode off to his new home and he is going to live happily ever after. Happy trails Outdo, we will really miss you! Joanie is still here with us and she is doing really well. She has a funny habit of trying to drag doggie beds all over the house. No matter where the doggie bed is, she feels the need to move it somewhere else. Too funny. If you would like to meet Joanie, please contact Denise Davis.

Outdo and Joanie

Both Outdo and Joanie are doing great jobs as foster dogs at the Hound Hotel. Outdo has been here a week and a half and has the routine down pretty well. His personality has continued to come out and he is getting to be a downright happy and very playful hound! He has plenty of energy and is really enjoying being a retired greyhound. He has learned that the alarm clock in the morning means that its breakfast time and he gets all excited about that. When he hears the beeping he jumps up off of his doggie bed and runs straight down the stairs to the kitchen. Joanie has been here since Sunday and she is doing great. So far she has learned the stairs and she is eating really well. She is catching on to the daily routine very quickly and we are very proud of her. She gets along well with our other greyhounds and should be fine with small animals as well. She has had no accidents in the house and we are having no issues with her. She is a lot of fun to have around. If you would like to meet Outdo and Joanie, please contact Denise Davis.

Lonesome Joanie has come to stay

Lonesome Joanie isn't going to be lonely anymore. Joanie has come to stay with us as it is her turn to get the full foster treatment. Joanie is going to get plenty of pets and have lots of fun at the Hound Hotel. Joanie is cute as a button and seems to be a very friendly and sociable greyhound. She is on the small side so she won't take up too much room either. She has already checked out the yard and is now checking out the house. I don't think we will have much trouble with her. I think she is going to be just fine. We will provide more updates as we learn more about her. Outdo is also still here and he is doing great. If you would like to meet either or both Outdo and Joanie, please contact Denise Davis.

Outdo-What a difference!

Outdo has been with us for four days now and what a difference those days have made. His personality is really starting to come out and we are finding out what he is all about. The first couple of days he was just a nice chillin' boy just learning the ropes and he did a great job at that. The last couple of days, especially today, he has decided that he is done being the new guy. He has decided that he is ready to patrol the yard and is letting everyone know that this is his place and he is watching over it. That is not a bad thing at all. He is still such a friendly and affectionate greyhound and we really love him a lot, and the fact that he is watching our house now is even better. That is very unusual for a greyhound that has been here for only four days. He still sleeps next to our bed and is no problem at all. Get this great dog while he is available! Call Denise Davis if you would like to meet this most excellent greyhound.

Outdo-Cool Runnings Mon

I think Outdo must be part Jamaican or something because he seems to have the no worries attitude of a Jamaican. Outdo has settled into our home and is doing great. After only a day he almost has the stairs mastered. Last night he picked out a doggie bed in our room and slept quietly all night long. No crate was needed for this chillin' boy. This morning he woke up and ate his breakfast like a horse and then went out to the yard with the resident hounds. He already seems to have the household routine down and he is making it very easy for us. Outdo is not a hyperactive dog at all and he is a very affectionate hound. He is really endearing himself to us as he is such a well behaved, respectful and friendly hound. If you are looking for a dog that will bounce off the walls and swing from ceiling fans, then this is not your dog. If you are looking for a chillin', Jamaican style dog, then Outdo deserves your consideration. When your neighbor's puppies are yapping out their windows all day, you can sit back with Outdo and say "No worries mon, it's all cool runnings."

Outdo has checked in!

Outdo has come to stay at the Hound Hotel until he gets adopted. He has only been here a short time and is confused and stressed, as all the foster dogs are when they arrive. Even so, he has checked out the yard and it seems to be to his liking. He is already drinking water well and is learnig how to lay on a doggie bed. He seems to be more affectionate than your average track dog at this stage as he is already coming to me to get lots of pets. That is a really good thing. My read on him at this point is that he is going to be a terrific companion that will be really friendly and fun to have around the house. He is 65 pounds, so he isn't too big either. He is a handsome brindle boy and I think he and I are going to be buddies pretty quickly. We will provide more updates as we learn more about him. In the meantime, enjoy the photos and video of him.

What a day!

It has been a fantastic day at the Hound Hotel. This morning we went and picked up another foster dog named All Star. We brought him home and began working with him and shortly thereafter the phone rang. Aunt Denise sent a family to look at Becky and All Star. They adopted All Star! All Star was a hit with their family and it was obvious that he was the right dog for their family. Then another family came to look at Becky. They loved her. Who wouldn't? Needless to say, she got adopted too! Wow, two adoptions in one day! That is a fantastic day for us, and we congratulate and welcome two new families into the greyhound community. We did get to take photos of All Star before he got adopted, so above is a photo of him checking out the yard. What a fantastic day! The bad news is that I took tomorrow off to play and work with the foster dogs, and now we don't have any fosters! Aunt Denise says she will fix that and send us another foster greyhound tomorrow. We can't wait. We wonder who it will be. Whomever it is, when that greyhound gets here, he or she will be halfway home.
