Mom said I should do an update and make a list of all the good things about me. Here goes:
Main Attributes: Calm, sweet, affectionate, walk easily on a leash, rides well in a car, listen to commands, get along with other dogs (small and large), people and kid--friendly, let mom sleep in, and playful but not crazy.
Main Areas for Improvement: Need to work on not stealing Gracie's toys from under her, to be more confident around big, loud groups (Mom forces me to walk through them, and as soon as they start petting me, I stop hiding behind her and soak it all in!). I will continue to need a little push on this, but I'm already coming around very well in the two weeks I've been here.
Best Improvements so Far: Mom had to tell me twice not to use her table to scratch my itchy gums. But as soon as I saw she was serious, I stopped. I may get the urge, I confess, so Mom keeps an eye on me for now and still crates me when she's gone. But I haven't done it since--stuffies are so much better!
Things I Haven't Experienced Yet: A real kitty cat up close. I've been interested and barked at two of them, but I don't really want to hurt them--just see up a little closer! Mom thinks I'd get along with them too, but if you have a cat, she'll try to find one that's not scared of me, and introduce us.
Ideal Home: People who like to pet greyhounds, and who will take me to play at a dogpark or have a yard so that I can chase my squeaky tennis balls--I do love it so!
Favorite Food: so far, I love Gracie's Nilla Wafers (Mom said G. has kidney disease, so has to be on a special diet). I also love my kibble (Mom spikes it with a little of G.'s chicken and rice), and I'm getting to understand why Mom's homemade Frosty Paws are so delicious!
Least Favorite Thing: Getting my teeth brushed with poultry-flavored toothpaste. Gross! Who are they trying to fool? I want minty-fresh breath like Mom!
