Fitting in

Bella has been with us for one week now and we are starting to see her relax. She is learning the house rules and works well within them.

She has been enjoying walking the neighborhood and LOVES to meet people. She has the tendency to jump up on people, so we have to work with her to teach her that it's not good to do that. We went on a long walk last night, down to the riverfront. She found the noises underneath the highway overpass a bit unsettling, but she started to figure out they weren't a threat to her, so she settled down. She does well on long walks, and would fit in nicely with a family who likes to take them.

We got a crate from Greys Landing and have put it in our bedroom. She has only used it one night preferring to sleep with the other greyhounds. She will come upstairs in the morning to wake us up and let us know the day has begun, so we sleepyheads better get a move on.

She is also learning that it is not a good thing to take food from the other dog dishes without permission. She is a very quick learner, so she is settling in nicely.
