2:43pm Just got the computer back from the computer hospital where it has, happily, been fixed. Also explains why I have missed blogging for a few days.
But the big news is we have adopted a rescue Greyhound, Mikaela (previously known as April). In about 16 minutes she will have been with us for 24 hours. She is a 4 year old white chested but mostly black girl who raced 6 times, came third once, and didn't like to chase. Thankfully as she is going pretty well with the cats. She has shown interest in playing with them but they aren't confident with her yet.
She is a dream girl; affectionate, intelligent, housebroken, polite, walks well on the lead and for having had her entire life disrupted twice in 3 months, handling it quite well. We took her to M'bah, did some errands...she wasn't quite sure about the trip. Kept going to South Tweed and Pet Barn to buy her another bed. By that time she was sad, thinking perhaps life was going to throw her another curve ball.
When we got home and opened the car door, her tail was whipping from side to side and she'd grown about half a foot.
One of the most impressive things about her is how quickly she learns. We have a large easy chair in the bedroom that I covered with a throw. It was to be her bed. She thought our bed could be her bed too. I pushed her off once, took her around to the chair once, put her on it and told her to stay. She didn't but when the lights went out she jumped into the chair and spent the night there.
Good Dog!
