Oh, Brother!

I have to say that having a little brother is making my life a little more interesting. This morning, he got in the rocking recliner. That was pretty funny. He looked like he was trying to ride a surf board. He didn't stay up long, but I think he's going to try it again. Jack sat in a recliner when we first got the RV. I guess it's something boys do.

Joey actually sits and watches the squirrels.



He likes to cool off by standing over the air vent.
Last night, he learned to chew. He does not know the rules yet. The rules are that we swap our chews. He is supposed to get up to get a drink and I steal it from him and then he waits for me to get a drink and then he steals it from me. We both have our own, but Jack and I found stealing from each other was more fun. Joey never got up to get a drink, so we couldn't swap.

This morning, he chased me for about 10 seconds in the yard. We decided that was enough for now. We may try it more tonight.

Look What He's Doing Now!

He jumped up on the couch last night with Mama and cuddled with her. :::sigh::: I thought I would have a few more days on the couch without him.

This morning, instead of helping us in the office, he is doing this:

The Greyhound Who Is Jealous Of Her New Brother

I Think I Got A Dud

I've had a new brother for about 24 hours and I think he's a dud. This morning, we went out to the backyard and he wouldn't play with me. He was too concerned about getting his muzzle off. Sheesh.... I don't like wearing the muzzle either, but we have to wear it to play, at least for now.


He didn't know how to lay down to eat a treat at first.




Joey doesn't know how to play with toys. He has been moving them from the bedroom to his bed and then he tries to play, but can't find the squeaker. Yep, he's a dud for sure.



He really likes to look out the windows.


Grandma and Grandpa came over and they brought Joey a card and inside was money for treats. Grandma said that I could pick them out. YES!!!! I know the good stuff and I already know what we are getting.

Joey is starting to relax some, but he's still walking from room to room. Daddy said he's probably just enjoying his freedom because he's been living in a kennel all of his life. I don't know, but it's very tiring watching him walk around all the time.

I guess he's kind of cute, but he's just a dud right now.

Joey Is Here - Part 2 - Pictures

Well, Joey doesn't seem to stand still long enough for photos.

Here I am on the way to meet him.



Here's Joey!



He looked out the window like this the entire ride.


Mama got a little carried away marking the window. Joey still hit it with his muzzle when he first came in.

We will get some better photos tomorrow after he calms down. He's always lived in a kennel, so he doesn't know what living in a home is like. I bet he gets used to the comfy feeling really fast.

Joey Is Here!

We just wanted to let you know that Joey is here. We are not posting pictures yet because Mama would have to move from the couch and that would wake up the prince. No, he's not on the couch, but on the floor. He finally laid down after pacing from room to room for about 3.5 hours. He did take a quick cat nap in his crate, but then he was back to going from room to room. Mama had to follow him to make sure he wasn't getting into anything. I just watched the action from the couch.

I'm not sure I like him yet. I think once he settles down, he will be better.

Mama says he seems to be pretty smart. I'm not sure about that. I mean, he didn't know how to lay on the floor. He does know how to go down steps, but not up them. He is not scared of vinyl floors at all. Mama thinks he is smart because Daddy asked him if he wanted to go in his crate and he kissed Daddy. He then went in his crate and took a quick nap. Well, Mama took him to his crate and he went right in and took a nap.

He has been outside several times, but he hasn't been let loose in the yard yet. He is very curious. The whole way home, he just looked out the window. He wants to check out what's behind every single door. He really needs to relax. He's retired after all.

One More Day!

It's just one more day of me being an only dog. It's been so lonely without Jack. I hope Joey likes me.

I wish it wasn't so hot here. We aren't going to be able to play in the yard until it cools off.

Mama has her camera in her purse so that she doesn't forget it tomorrow. Joey should be at the drop off point around 1:30 or so. I don't know how we are going to sleep tonight. We are so excited!

Mama is excited, but a little sad too. She still really misses Jack. She said she will never ever forget him even with Joey here. He will always be in our heart and our memories. We have a ton of memories of Jack.

I will update you with photos of Joey as soon as I can. I have to show him around and be the big sister first.

The Greyhound Who Is Waiting For Joey To Arrive

Drilling Machines Are Annoying

Well, that machine started drilling yesterday and it was so loud. They started at 7 a.m. and stopped around 2:30 p.m. They only did one hole. We thought they were drilling to China! Mama had wanted to go to the store, but decided to stay home with me. She was concerned that they might hit a gas line accidentally. It happens, you know. We live next to a petroleum plant and there are lines all over. They are marked, but mistakes happen. She said if there was a gas leak, we would probably be evacuated and she wanted to make sure I was safe with her.

Today, they are drilling further down the hill, but we can still hear it. We will be glad when they are done with this project

Two more days until Joey arrives!!!!
