I'm So Excited!

My Foma tells me I may just meet my forever family tomorrow!  How exciting is that? I'm not sure if I should run and do zoomies or do my leap and spin moves.  Before I could do either Foma said I needed to tie up some loose ends.  This is my last chance to make sure you know all about me and have seen all of my pictures.

It seems I also need to prove I really can jump into the car.  So today I did it all by myself without a boost from Foma.  Too bad Foma can't get the video clip to work.  You'll just have to take my word for it.  You believe me don't you? Back to cute pictures of me.

Sara jumping in the car

Ok that's all I have for now.  You will have to meet me in person to get lots of hugs and kisses.  I headed off to bed to dream about my family.  Maybe you'll dream of me too. I hope I see you tomorrow. Nighty night. Sara Shall Sleep now.

The Land Of All Things Wonderful

Sara here with something really exciting to tell you about.  My Foma took all of us to a magical place last week.  There was everything a dog could ever want and it was all in one place.  Foma called this place PetSmart and I can see why.  Any smart pet would love to hang out in this place.  Oh the sights and the smells! I could barely take it all in as we walked up and down every aisle.  I met a couple other dogs there and they were just as excited as I was.

Ok, so I was a little pushy at first but these smell so good and I don't even know what they are.

Is the stuff down here for us too?  Should I just help myself?

Dolly do you think Foma will get these for us? We can all share.

Foma can we come back here again?  Pretty sure I love this place. Yep, a girl could get use to this.

Do you have one of these smart pet places where you live?  I would love to go do some more shopping and maybe see more of the little animals they keep behind the glass. Foma wouldn't let me get too close to them but they sure looked interesting.  Maybe we could go every day and get a new treat or even a toy.  I could get use to this thing called shopping. Care to join me?

Happy Easter

Sara here wishing everyone a very happy Easter.

I Won!!!

Since I'm so smart, Foma said she would teach me a few things to impress my new family.   She taught me to sit.  Dolly sits all the time and sometimes she gets yummy treats.  I quickly learned to do it too.  Look at that pretty girl.

Hey I like treats too and anything Dolly can do I can do better.  Foma thinks so too and decided to test the theory.  She wanted to see who could sit and stay the longest.  It was pretty even at first. 

Then I got an idea......

Hey Dolly, There's a Squirrel!

And.... she's gone.  I win!!!!  I didn't even blink.

Ok enough of me gloating. This pic is just because Foma says I'm so darn cute.

Retirement Life.

Sara here.  Foma says that I should let you know how well I'm taking to retirement life.  I certainly don't mind bragging for a few minutes.  I really like living in a home.  I'm not afraid of the wood floors and do the stairs all by myself.  I don't get on the furniture even when Foma leaves us all free in the house on Sundays.  I haven't had any accidents in the house or my crate.  I can stay in my crate for at least 8 hours.  I know where to go for outside potties and I'm learning to ring the bells on the back door.

Foma says I'm very confident and I think that's a compliment.  I like to run in the yard with my foster siblings but I will go upstairs and play with toys all by myself.  I'm still working on a couple of things like jumping on the counters to look for my food.  Foma says I'm really smart because I only do it now when no one is in the kitchen.  I know I have to stay outside the kitchen when the humans are in there. I'm told I'll have to give up my counter sniffing all together if I want to get a home.  In that case, I can let that bad habit go.  I'm also learning to jump in the car.  I can jump out great but I still like for Foma to help me get in.  I don't really need her help but don't tell her that.  She says I'll be jumping in by the next adoption event so I guess I should get busy.

Here's a few pics of me.

Wow, if I stand at the top of the stairs, I can see the whole street through those really high windows.

Sometimes I fall asleep with my toys.

My favorite position for sleep and belly rubs.

Watching Foma get ready to leave. Those are my sad eyes.

Life here is ok but I can't wait to have a home of my very own. I'd like to have my own beds and my own food and treats. Most of all I want my very own family to take me for walks, play with me in the yard and rub my belly every night.  I'm working hard to be ready.  Are you?  All you have to do is fill out an application. Oh and pick me up a nice doggy bed and some toys. Some treats would be nice.  Don't worry, I'll make a list.

Going To The Old Country

My Foma took us to Williamsburg last Saturday.  We were suppose to go for a walk through the historic area with a few other hounds and enjoy the beautiful day.  Well that didn't happen. So many people came by to see us and ask questions.  It turned into one big pet and hug fest and I loved every minute of it. I gave lots of people kisses as a thank you.

There was lots of cool things to see.

My foster siblings told me all I needed to do was stand around a look cute. 

It was really good advice. I can do that in my sleep.

Bring on the hugs.

Getting Out And About

My Foma kept her promise to take me on outings last week.  Thursday we went to what was called a doggy blood donor night.  It was a bit overwhelming for me when I saw so many greyhounds all in one place.  They all donate blood to help save the lives of other pets. Those folks from BRVBB were really nice and let me give them lots of kisses.  I didn't have to donate that night but maybe my forever family will sign me up so that one day I can donate too.  You can check it out ahead of time at dogsdonateblood.   My fosters siblings said it was no big deal and they got yummy treats. I like the sound of that.

Since I wasn't donating, I got to play outside.  I also got to play with a little dog. At first I followed him everywhere but then I found out he was just a tiny version of me. Foma was awfully particular about that little dog but I'm not sure what the big deal was. 

Finally there's better pictures of me.

Be sure to come back and see where else I've been.  Is your adoption application already done? Did you ask for me?  I can't wait to meet you and start our forever life together.   See you later. I'm going to put my next story together.
