burritos!

we were chilly this morning, so elizabeth wrapped us up like a burrito!

photoshoot interruption

i thought i might get a bit nosy while the moms was doing a photoshoot today. why would someone take photos of plywood when they could take pictures of my cute face instead??

jus' chillin'

i don't understand why they keep laughing at me! i'm just laying here relaxing on my back. it's comfy that way. even pineapple is giving me funny looks.

home sweet home

well, we finally made it to my new forever-home! elizabeth and pineapple came to meet me yesterday morning and then later in the day elizabeth came back to pick me up. we sat a long time in traffic but i behaved myself pretty well. this is me trying to be good:





when we got to the house, pineapple and my new daddy, matthew, were waiting for me! i got to explore my new home and i couldn't help it but i kept climbing up on the soft, cosy bed. they didn't like that so much but it's fun seeing how long i can lay on the bed without anyone noticing. i'm up to about 60 seconds!

here is me hanging with my new friend, pineapple. we are related! her great-granddog is my great-great-granddog, "oshkosh racey". it makes me feel good knowing we're like cousins. pineapple only won ONE race! she told me how clever she was to pretend to be a bad race-dog by running into other dogs on the track, and even running OFF the track! so they retired her pretty quickly. i should've done that!



today elizabeth and matthew started calling me "marimekko" - they said it was the name of a finnish textile designer that was popular in the 1960's. i don't even know what textile is, not to mention 1960's. i don't really get it, but i think it has a nice ring.

here is me wearing a pretty red scarf for valentine's day.

Her first month in a new foster home

First - she was called Bella - but I already have 2 Bellas in the house so she had to be called something else. I call her Easy or Angel. In truth - she is happy to be called anything just as long as you do it with love. This little girl has come a long way since I first brought her home a month ago. Once she started to settle in and with a little discipline her bad habits have disappeared. She gets along great with my 6 greys and loves to play with my Bella. They play and play and play! Twice she and Bella have come barreling in from the backyard and she is covered in mud but sooo happy she has a smile that will warm your heart! And mud or not - she has the softest coat of any greyhound I've every touched- Like rabbit fur! She is very bright and learns quickly mostly learning from watching the others. She learned to use the doggie door the first day and understood the pool as well. She also learned from Bella that she can stand easily drink from the pool if she stands on the first step (which is a large tanning shelf) in the pool. Easy loves her people and at first followed me every step but is just a happy to hang out with the other greys when I am not around. At first she ate her meals so fast and then tried to take as much from the other dogs. She learned quickly that this is not allowed. Now that she is sure she will have enough to eat as of this week her eating has showed down to almost normal. She has never had an accident in the house. She is also not at all startled when touched while she is sleeping and is not at all frighted by a thunder storm. She share nicely with the other dogs - when I come home at night I usually find her sharing a dog bed with one of the others. My dogs have never shared - and they were quite surprised when she just climbed on the bed with them and laid down! She has also discovered her reflection in the window at night and in the TV. She'll be passing by and just stop and stare at the beautiful girl in the reflection!

More to come!
