Meet Snickers

Today, we got our first foster Greyhound. Her name is Snickers and she is a 2 ½ year old small red brindle. She arrived around 10:15 am. I just knew she was going to be a sweet girl when she started wagging her tail as I spoke to her through the window of the van she arrived in. When she greeted us, my husband, Fred and I for the first time, she was not shy. She took to him immediately. Today is a transition day for Snickers, everything will be so new for her. Once she seemed a little comfortable we brought Tari, our 7 ½ year old Grey which we adopted two years ago, out to meet her. Both were muzzled, as you do not know what might happen when dogs first meet. All went very well. They seemed good with one another. Fred then took them for a short walk while Camille went over the instructions and necessary paper work with me. Fred also tried to see if Snickers would go down stairs in our back yard. She did, but had to come back up on the grass. This is a good start. Our initial assessment is that she is going to be easy to train. She is a good walker and is good on the leash. If it is warm tomorrow, I will try to take my 45 minute walk with her. We’ll see what happens. Here is the picture of her that we got from the track kennel. We’ll take pictures tomorrow. She needs her rest after the long trip she had last night. She is much prettier in person. Hopefully tomorrow's pictures will show how pretty she really is. Sleep well Snickers, today is just the beginning of your wonderful new life.
