Hot Date

Okay, sorry, no photos to go with this one, but Annie Rose had a date this afternoon to walk with an Irish wolfhound named Rhett. Annie had her coat on, so she didn't care that it was 30 degrees and Rhett didn't care because he's got a nice thick coat of his own.

Annie and Rhett walked well tog. Annie, in particular, loved being outside in the sun and sniffing out new territory. She bounced and danced some and flirted with Rhett. Rhett was a perfect gentleman. We're going to spend some time tog. again tomorrow, that is, if there's not a blizzard.

Happy New year, Annie Rose

As you can see from this picture, Annie (left) and Kelley (our hound) had a rousing New Year. That is to say, they slept through the fireworks, got up this morning and got on the couch to nap together. The girls have been doing well tog., even if they have showed some of that famous greyhound competitiveness out in the backyard.

Annie has done well with kids, though her very playful, bouncy nature may not be a good match for kids under five whom she could unintentionally knock down or swipe with her tail.

Tomorrow, she's going with me to check out a family that's interested in fostering for GPA/N (not fostering Annie, fostering new dogs from the track.) There, she'll meet 2 ibizan hounds. That should be interesting as she's generally good with other dogs, tho she does get nervous when they run up to do the "greyhound handshake." She's a bit bashful and inclined to tuck her tail and spin around.
