Oh giorno felice! Oh Happy Day !. My new fenced playground is still muddy from this wonderful rain. Susie, my Sis, showed me how to drink from a puddle in the red, muddy clay. Much joy ! Then I figured I would dig it a little deeper and see if there are Greyhounds in China. Caught red-pawed. Not a problem, my Mom just turned the hose on my feet before bringing me back inside. We had fun at the Meet and Greet last Sunday. It was too exciting, and I had to rest my weary bones on the weight scale. Susie, was the official Circus Barker, bringing 'em in, waving all the Marks over, smiling like the cutie pie she is. "Come one, come all, give me a little scratch, and then let my friend Susan tell you all about how greyt greyhounds are". Next Sunday - we are going to the Pet therapy - hope there are lots of laps to rest my chin and hands for petting. See ya' then. Ciao, ciao.

Buon giorno - It turns out that my sweet and fun-loving personality is really a disguise. I am a total delinquent my Mom says ! She says this because I ripped to shreds every single little frou-frou ball she had in a bowl on the coffee table in the family room - I mean really - I smuggled each one into the Library room where my crate is - I confined my mess...sheeesh. I'm going to share my delinquency with Dewey and Kane when I see them at the Meet & Greet this Sunday - I bet they'll be impressed ! Ciao-Ciao.

My fence is in! I have a place to run and play with Susie.It's been icy, rainy and, therefore, muddy, so I have to have my paws rinsed off with warm water before I can go back in the house. My Mom says my personality is starting to shine. I know how to squeak my toys, play tug-of-war with Susie and muscle in for extra kisses and hugs. I have a little nibbling thing that I do with my front teeth when I'm happy - like nibble on my Mom's arm, or Susie's neck. I have to be careful tho' because I have sharp little teeth. Well, I'm pretty pooped out from my walk and romp so I'm going to catch some nap time. Ciao, ciao.

I am fit as a fiddle ! My vet says I am so relaxed, and I adjusted from the track life very well. I was plopped on the floor for most of my exam - just acting relaxed and cool. That's me - Cool Coty. Thanks to my foster parents - and Dewey & Kane and the kitties, for introducing me to my new life. Way cool. My Mom says I am Perfect Dog # 2. Susie, my sister, is Almost Perfect Dog # 1 - she's a slipper thief though which is the reason for the "Almost". Gotta run - nap time.
Ciao, ciao.

One more day until turkey day. We had two wild turkeys cruising the yard and driveway yesterday. Boy - you think I'm big, those were two BIG birds I can tell you ! There's so many new smells and sounds out in this neck of the woods, it's exciting to go outside. My exercise yard will be fenced next and I can run around and play with Susie - with my Mom supervising, of course. Right now, we walk up to the mailbox and I lope back down. She has to jog to keep up. She thinks I look like a rocking horse. I'm going for my wellness check today - its cold out and I'm going to wear my red Tummy warmer. I bet the ladies in the vet's office will faint from my handsome look and style ! Ciao, ciao.

Wooooo-eeeeeeeeee. I am finally in my forever home. My pet-sitters gave me a very cool collar with a special meaning before I left, and it makes me look dashing. My new sister, Susie, is happy that I'm back and she is surprised that I can manage the stairs ! I went up all by myself, took a little snooze on my upstairs bed, and then went down again (with just the teensiest coaxing). And I've been up and down twice since then. Susie and I went for a little walk and now it's back to snoozing on my downstairs bed. Ciao for now.

Woof-woof ! I heard my new Mom has been shopping for me while I'm being pet-sit. A new red tummy warmer AND a wintercoat with a snood ! Good thing too - it's getting too cold for my tastes. I'm going to become a fireplace dog and snooze where I can keep toasty. Coty.
