Figuring out retirement

Meet Pocono!  This adorable little girl has been here 3 days and is learning all about what life as a pet is all about.

We're scoring an A+ in treats, stuffies, snuggles and meals!  Pocono is a social girl and appreciates as much attention as you can give.  Once she discovered stuffies, she rarely passes one by without a little play.





Today's the first day she's explored the yard.  She's not as interested in a yard as many greyhounds, and will probably do well with a small yard or just walking on a leash.  I haven't seen her run yet - she did trot this morning!!  OK, maybe it was a fast walk   ;-)


She's not tried to get on any furniture and, happily, seems to have lost interest in her early counter-surfing.  She hasn't chew things and hasn't even tried to rearrange things (except stuffies!).  We're still working on housebreaking, but her house manners otherwise have been excellent. 


Like all greyhounds, she comes with an instinctive understanding of soft beds - ahem!  I think that must be part of the greyhound gene pool!!  It didn't take her any time at all to figure out where to sleep!


This sweet and beautiful girl is calm for just two years old.  She will mature into a wonderful companion.
