Guest p51crazyhorse Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) After 3 weeks of searching I have found a Senior! GALT had this sweet guy who needed a foster home (we are fostering with MAJOR intent) , he is 8.5 years old and was a blood donor, I dont know much about his history but he only raced 12 times. Greyhound Data Feelin Alright GALT - Hawk When we picked him up from the kennel he bonked his nose trying to walk thru the glass doors and is VERY interested in the reflections in windows at night and the TV. I feel that he has never been in a home before He is not skittish or scared in any way but everytime you open a door or a cabinet he is THERE!!! nose in the drawer, walks thru every room sniffing everything very thouroughly! DH opened the dishwasher and Hawk thought he might try and crawl in there He is quite the character, he loves my daughter and follows her around everywhere she goes. He thinks counters are a buffet for his choosing and has already swiped a stray piece of sausage and a whole banana needless to say he discovered very quickly where the treats are kept. He is great in the house considering, and has not had a single accident and slept thru the night on his new fluffy bed in the master bedroom. He barks at my little schnauzer Brody when we are outside and seems a little overly interested in him with a muzzle on.... we are seeing how that works out, that is the only reason now that we see that might make him not work out in our home, so far he has calmed down quite a bit towards Brody so we are hopeful! They get along great inside the house. I am so excited to have him and show him all the comforts of home! We need name suggestions though.... Hawk just doesnt fit him and he doesnt answer to it either, plus I alwas want to say Hawk-Tooey He walks like a clydesdale thru the house, you can always tell he is coming, his front feet must be extra heavy so we were thinking something that relates to that? I was thinking Stepper ( Phillypups) .......................but DH doesnt really like it...... See my 4 Brindles!

GeorgeofNE Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Gorgeous, but I actually DO think he looks like a Hawk! Hey, if he walks really loud, how about Thunder?
