  1. I feel sorry for the dogs that have owners that don't talk to them.  My FIL who is not a pet person asked me once if I talked to my dog.  I told him, of course.  He asked what the dog said back and thought he was so funny saying that.  I told him that he responds to me in many ways.  He understands and yes, sometimes he will sigh, or bark in response.  Dogs are smarter than some people think.  

  2. Jaxson loves to carry things.  He loves to carry the mail. Sorry it is blurry, but everyone including me was laughing as this was his first time.  I asked if he wanted to carry it and he snatched it up.

    He carried a small package yesterday, but no photo.  He wanted to carry a package with a fishing pole in it but I figured that would result in several things being knocked around as we walked through the lobby and getting on the elevator may have been a challenge. :hehe

    He carried a big stick on the beach.  He walked about a half mile with it and then he took it over to a stack of sticks and dropped it. Mission completed.

    I think the condo building should put him on the payroll delivering the newspaper.

    Hi Patty! I missed seeing you. I used to have Scout’s sister Delicate Halise (Ziva)! I was there with my two boys. One won the King but he was freaked out by the noise so he was back at the hotel. I just got home to Massachusetts. Maybe I will see you next time. 

    Halise

    I didn't know you were there! It would have been so nice to reconnect.

    Good job Jaxson!

    The trophy is great, but the real accomplishment is how you handled everything. :beatheart

    There were a few times when noises startled him at the event. One time he was asleep and a video came on with loud music. That scared him. I thought the rooing at the end might scare him but he just looked around and did not participate. He loved the motel room because he had a lot of room to chase his ball. The ball is his favorite toy. 

    He let me know last night that he is ready to hit the road again. We were out walking and he kept trying to get me to take him to the car. He put his nose under my hand and directed me towards the car. He then sniffed the door handle. My husband said he did the same thing to him. 

    He needs to learn to get in the backseat without help. He did it once and then he fell on his butt. Yes, he jumped short and he fell on his butt and his back legs went under the car. :rolleyes:  It was quite funny to see but he ended up with a cut on his butt. :o  I helped him after that because I did not want him to show up to the event with a road rash butt. 

  5. We attended the 2019 Heart of America Greyhound Gathering in Abilene this past weekend. Jaxson won a trophy for being the youngest greyhound there.  He is 25 months.  We have only had him a month and this was his first road trip.  It was 13 hours each way in an uncomfortable car. He handled the car ride better than I did. I think he enjoyed the motel more than the event, but he did enjoy meeting all the other greyhounds.   The last time I attended this event in 2014, my Scout won a trophy for Senior Queen.

    A big grin on my face just looking at him. What a sweetie, still got a puppy look about him, I bet you will have your hands full for a while yet!

    He has been really easy so far.  He is definitely the most loving dog that I have ever had.  He loves everyone.  He is smart and a fast learner.  It will be interesting to see if he is just on his best behavior right now. :lol:

    :yay:yay I love this! Look at that soft fuzzy young'un :beatheart:beatheart Patty, does Jaxson have Cobblepot in his lines?

    Congratulations!!! Soo happy for all of you!

    I don't see Copplepot in his lines.  His name was FAREWELL.  No siblings are listed for him which makes me wonder if he doesn't have any or if they weren't registered.  He never raced. 

  8. Our hearts were broken after Joey died in December.  We have been on a waiting list since early February and on May 25th we brought home a bouncing 2-year-old boy!  He is a very sweet boy who loves people, food, TV, and stuffies.  We have had him for a little over 48 hours and he is adjusting very well.  He did not live in a foster home, so everything is new to him. The TV, coffee maker and my feet sticking out from underneath the covers have been of great interest to him.

    This is our new boy, Jaxson!

    Testing and failing.  I used to know how to attach pictures.  I thought I used photos I had on FB.
