Annie Rose spent her first day at my house learning the ropes of a new home. She probably hasn't been around another greyhound since she left the farm at age 3 months, so she was very surprised to meet my hounds, Shadow and Kelley. She's settled in very nicely with them, tho she's still a bit anxious.
In her adopted home, she was never crated, so we've been gradually introducing her to it and it seems like she's adjusting. She spent the night there, sleeping on her favorite blanket. Except for a few wimpers at first, she passed a peaceful night. To make the crate a more attractive place for her, we've been tossing bits of ham in for her. Believe me, she'll go in the crate for that.
According to her former owners, she's uber cat safe. To prove that point, she tried to cozy up to Earl and Buster. When they hissed at her she backed up. We took her to the 100 Oaks M&G yesterday for a few minutes and she was fine with kids and small animals, too.
She does love to ride in the car, so will get her out a lot this week to meet new people and see new places. A home with other dogs is a must for Annie as she's accustomed to being part of a pack. Picture above was taken of her the day she came in. Notice that funny greyhound nose...she was still growing into it then.
