Gail

Home? Visit

2010-07-25T07:02:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was a big day - Gail's first home visit!!!

Foster sister Heidi helped her get ready and told her it was a snap and that she'd do greyt.

And she did! She and fellow foster Scotty hung out, showed off how cute they are, and played with Wyler the Manchester Terrier. Gail did steal a few things, but she was just teasing. She did the stairs, tried on some bling, and...

...ended up with a forever family of her very own! :) Way to go, sweet baby girl!

So, apparently, some of you think that Gail just turned 3. And MAYBE you think that because I just broadcast it all over her blog.

As it turns out...um, she's 4. I knew that. Sure I did.

Sure I did. (Gail said she wasn't going to tell me, and she says she really enjoyed the party anyway.)

In other news, it looks like this (below) is becoming the norm... :) (In both, Heidi is on couch, Gail is on dog bed!)

La Cucaracha, la cucaracha....

I think Heidi is helping Gail learn how to relax...maybe too much...hehe! Aren't they beautiful? :) Who wouldn't love to have them in their den on a Tuesday night??

Gail is legal!! 21!! (a/k/a 3!!!)

What is this? Looks interesting...

No worries...no noses were burned in this photo shoot!

Yuuuum!!!!

And then dessert, to boot! And in fancy jewels, too!

Foster mommy will tuck her in safe and sound - no sneaking out to carouse and get in trouble!! :) Happy birthday, sweet baby girl. Many years of love and wonderful life to you!

Which one?

Oh, the hazards of so many toys!

Scary!

I'm not sure what this face is all about, but if I were a stuffie, I'd be very, very afraid!

Busted!! She thinks she's sooooo sneaky!!! She couldn't just take one out of the huge basket of toys - oooh, no. (Not that Heidi the Ho hasn't stolen a toy or two from a sleeping sibling in her time...)

Gail Report - Week One

2010-06-28T13:12:00.000-07:00

Gail met me at Dr. Carol's office with a wagging tail and a kiss on each cheek when I knelt down to say hello. That was a pretty good indication of how this week was going to go. We'll break it down here, but in summary? She's pretty much the perfect hound!!!

1. Personality: you could not ask for a sweeter addition to your home! There is not a shy bone in Gail's lil body! She gets along famously with the other houndies, the 14-yo mutt, and the kitties, whom she has gently and longly sniffed, but that's all. She's a curious and playful soul, no doubt, but she's also very respectful and just devastatingly loving. (That said, she is a proper hound who knows how to steal with the best of them. You wouldn't want some nerdy goody-two-shoes nobody likes!)

2. Looks: Gail is STUNNINGly beautiful. She is one petite solid muscle in fluid motion, and that shiny fawn body with striking black mask is one in a million. Especially with those honey-colored eyes looking out of it. Check her out - that's all I've got to say about that.

3. Greyhound-ness: She roaches. She roos. She played with toys right off the bat. She loves treats. She smiles. She slept through the night from day one. Did I mention that she steals? What more could you possibly want????

NOTE: I have 3 dogs and 3 cats and only 2 hands. That leaves me 4 short already, for petting purposes. Somebody please adopt this houndie and save me from myself SOON!!! :) Seriously, whether you're looking for your first hound or a "chip," Gail is going to be an easy addition and a much-cherished part of someone's family.
