As always, Stella is the first to claim a new bed.
Stanley takes his turn.
Jaime enjoys the bed and another treat from the visit. The bed is now in the bedroom, and Tristan and Jaime rush upstairs every night to claim it first.
I picked up foot-long bully sticks at the Costco by Susan, as our local Costco only has chicken jerky. The kids thought it was Christmas.
A couple of weeks ago, we heard from one of our volunteers that a greyhound was at a local shelter. After getting the tattoo numbers, we asked all the local groups if they knew anything about this dog.We picked him up from the shelter, and he stayed with us for a couple of days. Kris called him Kip. He was quite dirty, so Kris gave him a bath. The brindle stripes help cover up the fact that he is skinny with a rough coat.
Standing next to Sunny, who is a big girl, you can see the difference.
He is a happy-go-lucky kinda guy. Got along with everyone, and fit right in. He’s a rooer too. I wasn’t able to get a shot of his smiling.
He does his best meerkat impression. What a sweet face.
Even though he was eating upwards of 8-10 cups of food plus treats a day, he’ll need a bit of time to fatten up.
GPA-NoVA was kind enough to open up one of their foster homes to Kip. He still has his doodads, so he will be making a trip to the vet to get snipped along with an overall checkup. Usually greyhound groups are pretty independent, but it’s nice when they can come together to help out. In the end, it’s all about the dogs.
Hope Kip finds a perfect forever home - who know what the poor guy has been through!
ReplyDeleteThree+ beds each AND foot-long bully sticks, the kids look like they are in heaven :)
Wow, that's crazy! Glad he was lucky enough to have a greyhound-knowledgable person see him! He looks like such a sweetie- that face!!
ReplyDeleteGreat face and my kids are jealous of the bully sticks.
ReplyDeleteI hope the poor little guy finds a forever home soon!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of all the greys on the beds with the treats!
Those bully sticks are awesome! Hope Kip finds a great forever home! :)
ReplyDeleteCheck out those Bully Sticks! Glad the dogs love their new bed and Kip... swoon! I'm such a sucker for the rooers! Hope he puts on some pounds and finds a greyt forever home soon!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for those villages!! He looks like a sweet boy, and I am sure it won't take long for him to find a home!
ReplyDeleteLovely bed...and lovely photos of dogs in the bed!!
Smileys!
Dory and the Mama
OMG, his face...his face!!!! LOVE HIM!!!! Please keep us posted on Kip - and thank you for taking him in and helping him on his way :)
ReplyDelete8-10 cups a food a day, yikes!! I wouldn't think his little stomach could hold that much :)
ReplyDeleteI sure hope Kip finds a GREYT forever home. He certainly looks (and sounds) like a sweet-heart!
Kip looks like fun - but it seems there will be enough competition for that new bed!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful boy. If he doesn't get adopted soon, let me know. I might need to accidentally foster him down our way :)
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with Kip. With the meerkat face, who could refuse him?
ReplyDeleteI'm also glad your groups work together. We get a bit territorial and snarky. Silly. Qld is a huge state. We can have more than one group.
My dogs love those types of beds too-the more cushy the more they want them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a huge amount to eat per day-he must have been starving.
Kip is such a cute name for a cute dog! I hope such a greyt dog finds his forever home soon!!!!
