Tree continues to open up and blossom at out home. The first week she was a bit reserved with Warren but now goes to him for ear rubs. This morning she joined Paddy for his Saturday morning Paddy dance and it was very cute. Too bad I don't keep the phone for a clip by our bed. We went for a walk on the Greenway; a very nice young woman who might be interested in her joined us. I think everything went well so we'll see. Tree continues to be a very sweet and easy foster, she is definately going to be someone's best girl!

Paddy has a girlfriend! Tree is the first foster he has ever played with. They chase one another in the yard, and-as you can see-he will share his bed with her at naptime. Tree is becoming more comfortable in our home and as her personality begins to come out she is very sweet. She still loves her crate but is spending more time outside of it when we are home. No accidents in the house, sleeping through the night, and her appetite is improving. She learned to take treats at last Sunday's M&G and now comes running when she hears the treat jar rattle. Still a bit too interested in the cats but we're hoping Thea's swat at her this morning will curb that. I did catch her nibbling on a furniture corner but "No" sent her off to her crate. The night before last she began a soft yodel in her sleep, I think she was dreaming. Too cute! We are enjoying our time with her very much.

Tree has been with us for one week. I first met her this past fall at Southland's adoption kennel. If you love petite, pretty greyhound girls-as I do- you must see this little one.

She's a beautiful fawn girl with a dark mask, very petite, but with wonderful form. Our first impressions are that she is very sweet, very bright, and eager to learn all about being a pet. She loves her crate and for most of this week that has been her "safe haven". She spends a lot of time there on her own and seems quite happy. Today she discovered that the dog beds scattered throughout the house are good places to be, too, and is laying on one right now as I write this. She has had no accidents in the house and will go to the door when she needs to go outside. The weather has been too chilly for long walks so I don't know if she'll "go" on a leash yet but today we went for a short walk and she was a perfect lady; no pulling and no skittishness over new surroundings and sounds. She is fine with our two greyhounds and our two smaller dogs in the house and in the yard. She is interested in our two cats so we are keeping close supervision but so far we think it is more curiosity than anything else. Although she does well with our gang she isn't clingy so I think she may do well as an only dog. She sleeps like a champ through the night as long as she is in her crate. And dinner-time is very exciting; initially she wasn't eating everything but now is cleaning her plate. She has done something very cute with Warren and me. She likes to steal a bedroom slipper and take it into her crate and sleep with her head on it. She's done this with both of us and it is very sweet. And today she also discovered how to squeak the stuffy we got for her. Squeak, squeak!

Tree will be at the Murfreesboro M&G tomorrow so if you are interested please join us and meet this lovely girl!
