Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 11:09AM Hal and Woody enjoy a short race in the evenings when it starts to cool down for the day. I'm not sure who won last night, but they can really take a corner.

Monday, June 21, 2010 at 5:28PM Hal is fascinated with a big black truck that parks down the street because he can see his reflection in the shiny paint. He thinks that's a handsome dog staring back at him. So far he hasn't graced the truck with his nose prints!
He has been trying to beat the heat in the dog pool, but brother Woody is hogging it all the time. Hal isn't quite ready to lay down and only wades in ankle deep. He may feel more comfortable if I got him floaties. I think he's reading the warning label in the photo and asking Woody to practice water safety.
Wednesday, June 16, 2010 at 9:33AM It's me, Hal. I've been making a list of things I know for my potential
new family, and it looks like I'm a pretty smart guy.
I know:
- my name and come when I'm called whether I'm in the house or the yard.
- how to go to my area of the kitchen when it's time to eat.
- not to bother my foster mom when she eats.
- how to "kennel up" when asked.
- the way to walk politely on a leash.
- that you only go potty outside.
- stuffed toys shouldn't be ripped up so they stay nice and squeaky longer.
And I excel in the sport known as greyhound synchronized napping. Here's
a photo of me, Woody, and my stuffed bunny practicing.
Monday, June 14, 2010 at 9:32AM Hal had a fun weekend meeting new people and dogs. Mr. Laid Back showed us that his cat and small dog tolerant evaluation was accurate when he met some new pets.
Hal heard that a busy dog is a happy dog and decided that he needs to find a new job now that he's finished racing. His brother Woody and I are acting as career counselors. Based on his talents and personality, we think he could be a charming wingman, a professional car rider, a therapy dog, or a chef's assistant.
If you have any of those positions available in your household, call Hal for an interview.
Wednesday, June 9, 2010 at 9:05AM Hi, it's Hal here. I found out that I'm going to my first Meet & Greet on Saturday afternoon, June12, at Hot Dogs & Cool Cats Pet Boutique in Marietta. My FM says that I'm a great greeter because I've been meeting all the neighbors very calmly on my walks and getting lots of ear scratches. Look for me Saturday - I'll be the one in black and white fur.
My FM has been teaching me the words "hurry up" so I'll know when to go potty on our walks. She says I must be housebroken already -- I haven't had any accidents inside and have adjusted to a schedule of three walks a day. I don't know what's broken about that. We're working on heel now too.
