smt Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 It has been a busy past 6 months. Beginning in March, when some of the tracks began closing in FL, and through the track closing in Birmingham, we have pretty much had a foster dog in our house non-stop. We affectionally have referred to our home as the greyhound depot. All of our fosters found their forever homes within 2 weeks, and all went on to just wonderful situations. First came Honey Girl, from FL. And after her was one of our favorites to pass through the depot. Really, we loved her, but she was just a little too timid for our active lifestyle. This is teeny, tiny little June Bug. Isn't she cute: After June Bug, there was Zappa and Nova. I can't believe I don't have pictures of them, but we loved them both. Then came Jacki. We came so close to keeping her, but the universe had other plans for us. Jacki went to her forever home on a Friday, and we drove down to B'ham to pick up Ursula the next day. She was the perfect fit from the start. We knew within a week that we would not be letting this go. She is playful, sweet, and checks all of our boxes. The biggest box is that Bette likes her, which is saying something. Let's just say that Bette is "picky" when it comes to sharing her affection. The fact that she will lay beside Ursula on a dog bed is nothing short of amazing. Ursula is 11 days older than Bette. They will both be 3 in October. Ursula is definitely the young-at-heart of the two. A few more pics of our sweet new addition. It feels like our pack is complete. We could not be happier.

Did you find a squeak free toy to stop her from driving you all bonkers? Hi Mercy, thanks and to answer your question, no, we did not. After the first 72 hours, she settled down quite bit with the squeaky toys. She still plays with them on a daily basis, but in short spurts and if it gets to be too much, we put the toy basket away . . . She LOVES her toys . . .

GreyPoopon Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Congratulations! Ursula is definitely the perfect addition, especially since she's Bette Approved (TM). She looks like a really happy girl. She might give Opal--the happiest dog I've ever met--a run for her money.
