He is the most fabulous grey I have met in a long time. (Well aside from my 3, of course.) He is casual, solid, loving, plays with toys, gets along with the other dogs and has settled in well and quickly.<br />
<br />
I keep having to tell myself, "You will NOT adopt". It's not working very well at the moment. How am I supposed to help the greyhound group, <a href="http://sagreyhoundadoption.org/">Southern Arizona Greyhound Adoptions</a> with continual fostering if I keep foster failing? Sigh. I've even told my friend who works with the adoptions for the greyhound group, that at the end of the foster time when I tell her I would like to keep him, she is to deny the request. Which I<br />
don't believe she will do.<br />
<br />
The only issue is that he marks in the house when I leave. Even if it is to go outside for an extended period of time. He does not do it when I am home. He uses the dog door and everything. My wonderful dog behaviorist trainer sister, has indicated it is because he is not accustomed to the house and hasn't been in a place permanently, so is a little worried and I just need to crate him when I go out. As his foster mom does. So I did, and no problems while I was gone today. He went right in to the crate and seemed pretty content in there.<br />
<br />
I do think it is safe to say he is not small dog or cat tolerant. He went on high alert when a cat strolled across the street 400 feet in front of us on this morning's walk. He also perked up at the crying baby noises from the neighbor's house, and when he saw the goats, chickens and bunnies at a local school.<br />
<br />
So, anyone in the Tucson area thinking about adopting a greyhound, he would make a great addition to your family. He is simply wonderful.<br />

Things have finally settled (somewhat) and it's now time to give posting another shot.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, and with deep regret, I relay one of the big changes was the loss of my eldest dog, Willow, a staple on this blog, on April 14th. It was very sudden and completely unexpected and devastating. Circling around the loss, and compounding everything, was illness in the other dogs (to be delved in more completely at a later time). To say it's been a challenging 10 weeks, is a bit of an understatement.<br />
<br />
The house still seems cavernously empty, even with the three other dogs here. Willow was a big personality; a snarky, certainly bossy, entertaining, master rooing, tennis-ball chasing (and those of you with greyhounds know how rare that is), snack slut, big personality.<br />
<br />
She was my first dog. As a grown up. We've had family pets, but she was the first I got as adult. That I was responsible for - all by myself. She is also the first one I've lost. She was my oops dog, I learned on her, which she knew and didn't seem to mind. She just looked at me with that 'whatever' look when I screwed something up (see photo below for a classic 'whatever' look.).<br />
<br />
She was with me for 6 years and completely changed the course of my life; I have friends I would have never met, places I would have never traveled to, activities I would have never done, and three other dogs I would not have adopted, if it had not been for adopting her. Though let's get that one part straight - she chose me. From the get go. I had been introduced to a number of different greyhounds. But from the first front footed bunny hop she did when she saw me as she walked out the kennel door and directly into my heart, I was hers. And I know with all that same heart, she is still hanging around, bossing everyone about from the other side.<br />
<br />
I don't believe she crossed over the rainbow bridge. I think she has managed to finagle a two-way pass, and spends her time sprinting back and forth across that bridge; part of the time relaxing on the most cushiony dog beds ever made, hoarding a multitude of squeaky toys and being fed snackie treats by her minions, and the rest of the time watching over me and Breeze, Dru and Angel. Making sure we are doing thing in a way she would approve and finding a way to direct us when we are not. She's too stubborn not to be able to put her two cents in from where she is.<br />
<br />
So even now, after this much time as passed, I type through blurry, tear-filled eyes remembering just how much I loved her, how much she changed me and my life, and how special she was. From the snarking at Angel to move out of the way so she could be the first to greet me when I got home, to immediately running over to celebrate my arrival with her squeaky toy, to the investigating in the kitchen whenever I rustled a bag, just hoping that something in there would be for her, to stuffing her head completely into said bag to see what was in it for her, to staring at the kitchen floor waiting for that piece of chicken, cheese, hamburger, etc to magically appear for her to eat, to digging so many holes in the back yard it looked like a moonscape, to giving me the demanding paw when I would stop petting her. I thank the time she gave to me. And I post to a blog that would not exist if she didn't choose me that fate-filled day at the kennel so long ago. Run free sweet girl. You are very much missed.<br />

Willow is a roo-er. I love listening to it. It never gets old. To the point where I will play a video of greys rooing from Youtube to get her going. I can't tell you how pleased I was to find out Angel is as well. And he will do it to the sound of sirens. I of course encourage him. "What do you hear?" Heh.</div>

Angel has recently been working on a modeling career. He's been featured in a number of images by OH! Happy Grey. There is a reason he's nicknamed "Handsome". </div>

Willow. She just turned 9, but she sure doesn't behave that way. This is her "I'm ignoring you because you haven't said the majic 'snackie' word" look.</div>

I have a hard time believing that almost 3 weeks have gone by without a post. During that time we've had a couple of greyhound health issues.<br />
<br />
Dru had a seizure. She's OK now, but we are not sure what caused it. The only way to find out is to do a $3,000 cat scan and unfortunately, after the vet bills (and my medical bills) accumulated the past 6 months, it is way out of financial range.<br />
<br />
Then this week, Breeze split the webbing on her foot. It was finally stitched up yesterday by my normal vet, after I walked out of the emergency vet office just before the surgery the previous night. During the exam by the emergency vet, she pushed up on the split webbing and I watched as the tear spread from just the bottom of the webbing all the way to the top. When my normal vet was working on it, he said the webbing was too damaged to repair it and he would have to stitch the sides and leave the toes free-floating. (my not- so-technical terms not his) To know the first vet contributed to the damage fires me up.<br />
<br />
Anyway, to greet you back after our hiatus - Breeze after surgery yesterday. Feeling the effects of the drugs. It was an epic drool. She would be so upset if she knew I posted this to the internet. ;)<br />

I know you are wondering why in the world there is a non-greyhound photo on the blog. Did you check the banner to be sure you had clicked over to the Cult blog? </div>

Just wanted to invite those of you in the area to visit me at the <a href="http://www.holytrinitymonastery.org/calendar.html#spring13">Fiesta de la Primavera</a> at the Holy Trinity Monastery in St. David, Arizona (an hour south of Tucson) this weekend. It is a perfect get of town escape for the Mother's Day weekend. I will be set up (that's right, on location for the first time in a few years) and selling prints and note cards. Including the greyhound note cards (there's the greyhound tie-in :) ) The are is very picturesque. The photo below, which will be available for purchase, was taken just north of the Monastery. See you there!</div>

I took this photo, not because the composition looked good (though I think it does), but because there is actual touching and sharing of the bed. I needed proof so I know I didn't imagine it. </div>
