Human Pack Adoption - Day 2


'Tis another fine day here in Virginia - chilly outside, but warm and cozy in my new home.  These humans will take some getting used to - they have peculiar habits - but they appear to be trainable.  I must admit that I have grown quite fond of them in just a single day and night.  They have intuitively placed thick fluffy beds at a number of locations throughout the home - I sense that they might be reading my thoughts - and it's not that I'm fixated on beds or sleeping for that matter - but I do appreciate their willingness to let me nap-at-will.  I have bed in their sleep room, another in their people-box room, and yet another in a place they aptley call their den - they hang out in the den a lot - a  typical human pack behavior I suppose.  The younger humans seem to be addicted to that people-box - I will remain suspicious of that monstrosity till sufficient evidence proves my fears to be unwarranted.  On the subject of "suspicious" - these humans have trust issues.  They needed to leave the home today - who knows why - and while they were gone - I was invited (tricked mind you) into a wire crate!  They used chicken jerky snacks to lure me in, and before I knew it - they had quiet-as-a-church-mouse - latched me in.  They returned a short time later to find me pacing and panting (what would you do if you were locked up without due process? ).  They let me out , showered me with affection, and all is forgiven - for now.  It wasn't really all that bad - but this lass has had a taste of freedom - and - I like it!  I hear one of my beds calling to me - 'tis such a glorious, sweet serenade!  A napping I will go...

Sweet Dreams...

It's hard to hold my eyelids up - but I'll try to finish this final post of the day.  I'm currently lying stretched out on the floor in the people-box room (a curious place where these humans watch other tiny humans trapped in a box - looks inhumane if you ask me...).  The very nice, sweet, smiling human lady is also lying on the floor, talking to me - something about being so glad I'm here and how much healing energy I've brought into this home.  I like it that she recognizes my energy - she has some too - I think we, this family and I, will love and heal each other.  Afterall, isn't that what a family's supposed to do?  Sweet dreams,  one and all.

Doggone Tired...


Well, I've been here a few hours, met Deirdra, David, Emily and Luke (strange names to be sure - but I'll humor them...) and this seems to be a cozy place.  I've been exploring, both inside and out, and it's a, how should I say this...a soft place - there's cushions, and pillows, and carpet - all calling softly to me "rest here, no here, no - over here!"  I have noted each particular spot, and will test them all in turn for their nap-ability.  More later - I'm a wee bit tired - it's been a long day!

Adoption of a Lifetime - Day 1 of ...

Top o' the mornin' friends - this is my first blog, ever, so I will ask you to be patient and kind - thank you - that's so very considerate of you!  Yes, yes, I'm a wee greyhound lass - on my way to my first adoption assignment - to teach, shelter, educate and love a small pack of humans in need of my expertise.  Left Florida in somethin' called a hauler, and arrived here just a short time ago.  Och-aye - it's a wee bit nippy out, and that'll take some getting used to.  A kind human is just now running my bath - ah, sweet luxury!  Then it's off to my new home.  Do, please check in here from time to time as I chronical my achievements with this new family - so much to teach them - this is bound to be fun!
