Four Bits Arrives At His Foster Home

Yesterday we picked Four Bits up from Patti's and brought him home. He did very well and didn't even seem to notice having his ears cleaned - he slept right through it! He loves playing with toys and watching what goes on out the window. Maybe we'll go for a walk today so he can get familiar with the neighborhood. He is getting along well with our 2 female greyhounds and cat.

On Monday we took Four Bits for a walk around the neighborhood with our 2 female GH's. He walked beautifully on the leash and didn't notice any barking dogs we passed and loved getting out and about. Last night he slept quietly in his crate beside the girls without a peep. He is settling into our pack and home life nicely. He still needs some work on his table manners as he likes to eat really quickly so we're working with him on learning to wait for his food. He is patient and calm trying to understand this new way of life away from the track. Today is is first day alone while I'm at work. We'll see how he does.

Last night Four Bits and my cat, Pouncer decided to check each other out for the first time. They gave each other a good sniff through the baby gate and after a few seconds he decided the cat really wasn't that interesting and walked away. He is definitely much more interested in a squeaky toy than the cat!

He did great while I was gone to work yesterday and today, no accidents or other issues. He seems to like his crate and goes right in with no problem. He also seems to be getting the hang of the 'down' command to lay on his bed. He is also learning 'wait' to wait for his food. He is a smart boy and a fast learner.
