Snowmageddon 2017

I survived Snowmageddon 2017! My foster mom thought it would be fun to see me and her greyhound run around in the snow, so when she got off work early on Friday, she packed us up and drove off to her parents house. Here's us on the way! Foster mom says I'm great in the car. I jump up with ease and immediately lie down.

I knew we were getting close to something exciting, because the car started to slow down and my greyhound friend stood right up and started sticking her head out of the window. I decided to stand up too and try to figure out where we were. 

When we finally arrived at the house, there were more friends waiting for me! A big husky mix and a smaller pit-bull mix ran up to greet me and I stood there wagging my tail like I've known them my whole life. We all went for a walk before I was let into this new house. What a sight to see -- 4 dogs and 3 people walking around in the freezing weather! My foster mom bundled us up in jackets and walked us 2 greyhounds together. We are a breeze to walk, so she only had to hold the leashes in one hand. She always laughs because we keep the same pace and walk with the same gait. If one of us shakes or sneezes, the other one will do so too! Maybe we were separated at birth?!

I spent the rest of the weekend napping and playing with my new friends. The husky didn't even mind that I stole his bed (it is the biggest and comfiest after all!). My favorite part was running outside with them all. The little pit-bull just loved to tease me and my greyhound friend. She'd run up and play bow and then start running all over the yard. After enough pestering, I finally joined in and chased her a little. I always kept a very safe distance and never got too close to her. My foster mom was supervising the whole time and I would hate to disappoint her!

Here are some pictures of our antics!

My foster mom has been working on a few things with me. First off, I sometimes don't like to go into my crate. She thinks she can fool me with a treat, but I'm too smart to be tricked! This morning, though, I walked right into my crate when she told me "Kennel" and went into the "down" position very politely. Every day gets easier with this!

I also like to eat my food pretty fast. Sometimes it makes me gag a little bit, but my foster mom has put a big ball in the middle of my food and it slows me down a good amount. I wait very politely for my food and just look into my foster moms eyes and wag my tail very slowly until she tells me I can eat. It's too cute!

I have performed a good amount of tricks for treats. I Sit, Down, Shake, and BANG (flop over on my side from the down position). Of course I also know Kennel and Wait. They must be coded in my brain now because I perform them every time with ease. I'm not just a one-trick-pony, people! I'm sure to entertain your guests when you adopt me :)
