Four Weeks Tomorrow

It will be four weeks tomorrow that I became part of a family. I have to say that I am having the time of my life! I never knew there was life outside of my kennel. I raced for a year, but then I sat around a year due to my career ending injury.


Scout and I have been having more fun this week. She's been hanging around me more. She tried to play with me again this morning outside and if I wasn't on the leash, I would have played. I wish I didn't have to be on a leash, but I'm not allowed to run due to my injury. I go to the doctor on Monday and then they will tell me if I'm ready for my surgery.

Mama took some pictures of me today because she wants to add them to her wall in the office. I guess that means that I'm a "keeper". She has a lot of pictures of Jack and Scout and now I'm going to be added!


When Mama says "Burp" I do this:

This is my shy or maybe it's what are you doing look:


This is my "I need a nap" look:


Mama says we will take more photos later. She says I'm cuter in person than in pictures. I have a fun personality.

What could be better than having a family? There's nothing better! Mama gives me kisses and belly rubs and tells me she loves me. She gives me treats and my medicine (blah). She brushes my teeth and takes me outside and tells me I'm such a good boy. She even said WOO HOO when I did my business at the campground. Daddy and Scout were embarrassed by her enthusiasm. Daddy gives me the best ear rubs. I love when he comes home from work. Yep, there is nothing better than having a family!

  1. Wow, we can't believe it's been four weeks already. We are glad you are loving having a forever home, and feeling comfortable to show a little of your naughty side. Mom's first grey was like that too - he would steal things and hide them in his bed.
