I make my permanent varmints sit and wait for me to put their food down. I don't inflict this harsh rule on fosters, but here's what happened this morning. I guess she picked it up from the boys on her own! I didn't even ask.

Did I say, "Smart and eager to please"???

Ms. Wing She Would a-Rooing Go

My boys haven't rooed since their big sis Abby died.

Seems like Wing has brought the music back...

(Note: my pitiful attempt to join them at the end was met with total silence.)

Retired? ME????

Wing Update

Wing has been here since Tuesday (4 days), and she has already come a long way. She was very restless the first day - now, she knows how to pass out on a dog bed. This morning, she finally figured out how to take a treat from my hand. (She is a great eater. No problem there!) She's learned that she likes petting a lot and wakes up several times every night just to come find me for some lovin'.

In fact, Wing is a big lover girl! She is sooooo sweet - she'll just melt you when you pet her face, and she looks at you with those brown eyes. Jessie thinks she's the bomb!

We've had no accidents in the house. She hasn't even tried; seems to be housebroken already. She had learned "lie down" by Thursday. She's smart and very eager to please. Wing has no interest in the cats, so far. She crates fine - a little whiny, but a cheesy Kong works wonders.

She's still limping on her back leg. We're giving her pain pills and restricting her activity until that gets better.

I just love Wing. She is going to be somebody's bestest friend!

(But I do want to know one thing: why is every Greyhound obsessed with Slim Shady the Schnauzer's bed? They DON'T fit in it!) :)

WEIRD

Wing here, with my first report from Life in a Strange Land Far Away. These people keep weird hours. They sleep ALL NIGHT. Fortunately, the food is pretty okay - there's just not enough of it. It took me about 2 seconds to get used to these "treat" things. (I'm pretty smart.)

The other inmates seem okay. The three boy dogs and I did a bunch of sniffing, no biggie there. The little furry varmints with the pointy ears make some interesting noises, but I don't really care about them much. (Except their food smells pretty good! And they didn't share.)

The "crate" thing is not really cool...except - wait! I got this rubber thing with cheese in it, and...maybe it's not so bad. Yeah, I think I can just hang out in here for awhile.

Exhausted...more later!
