Lonely the Interested

I was told that Lonely was pretty interested in small animals. We, in the Greyhound Game, call this being Prey Driven. So, OK. I have dealt with other higher prey driven dogs before - no biggie. The only "small animal" that we have in our home is Sonny Bird. He is a Jenday Conure (pronounced: screaming crazy small parrot) :) Anyway, generally all the hounds learn to leave the birdie alone -- he bites their noses. Lonely has been more interested than most. She REALLY REALLY likes the bird. She can not get enough of him. Every time he makes any sounds, or drops something, or plays with a toy, she is there.

I think we will start to call Sonny "Lonely TV."

Making Greyt Strides!

So, Lonely came to stay with me until she gets a "Forever Home." As many folks know, at my house, you have to learn to navigate the Stairs of Death.... BwaaaaaHaaaaaHaaaaa....

This is what it looks like for the hounds that want to enter my home.... Very Scary!!! Lonely had to be assisted for 3 days - literally assisted... move the feet one at a time with the proper order for ambulation. I have gotten GREAT at this over the past 10 years of fostering, though the hounds all learn in their own time. I mean, come on... the view through the steps is pretty scary for a hound dog.

So anywho.... Lonely learned to shoot the steps quite quickly. If she can do these stairs, she can do ANY stairs!! Bring 'em on!!

How Have You Been?

HI! I have been on a bit of a sabatical. Thought I was spending WAY too much time in front of the computer so took some time off. Actually, I was doing the Farmville, and found I had no time for anything else, so decided to just go cold turkey and not use the computer at all. I am only on here now to introduce my new foster mom, Pam. She will be keeping you up to date on my antics for awhile. I will sign off here, but know that I am still looking for that perfect home. :)
