Foster Dogs doing the Job...

Mouse is a very smart little cookie. In fact, she is here right now helping me to write this blog entry.


It is hard to believe, I know, but not everyone here loves Mouse. Mittens smacked her across the nose and made it bleed all over the tiles in the kitchen. Mouse would like you all to know that she was just playing with Mittens and trying to make friends, but that Mittens was just being unreasonable and mean. Her nose is OK now, since she is young and fit and has super healing powers. 

Whilst we are still working on leash manners I have successfully trained her to sit!



Who said Greyhounds can't sit again?

She also goes into her crate on command though she much prefers the couch. She has not had any toileting accidents since that day right at the start when she peed on the dog bed.


She has worn out her grace period with Miss Barbie now and gets growled at if she does any trampling or invading of personal space. Barbie still lets Mouse do things she would not allow another dog to do.


Now I know my blog followers will be sad to hear this, but Mouse will not be here for much longer. One of the families that came to meet her on the weekend decided that she is the one for them. Perhaps her new forever family will send me some photos for the blog so that you can still get your fix of beautiful white Greyhound.

Oh my goodness! Mouse is such a good sitter. I will be sad to see Mouse go, but I have ENORMOUS respect for foster parents. That's the process, isn't it. I do hope her new forever family sends you pictures so we can see how the lovely Mouse is getting on. Congratulations, Mouse. Wishing you every happiness in the world.

It's going to be hard to say goodbye but I know I can't really afford an extra dog, and this way I can help more doggies in the future.

There's also the fact that in suburban Perth (Aus) there is a 2 dog limit. You can get special approval to have more than 2 but it involves consulting all your neighbours in a certain radius from your house. As well live in a higher density area, this is a hell of a lot of people to consult.
You wouldn't like to send her over to England would you?

Hah I think her forever mumma would have something to say about that!! :)
It's really nice to know that Mouse is getting her forever home :)

-Lilli-
We're thrilled that Mouse found a forever home but wish we could have figured out a way to get her to the US so she could come and live in Maine. She is absolutely stunning. Hopefully we'll get to hear about her from time to time. Now on to your next :-)

A couple of months at least until we get another one....got to give the cats a bit of a rest ;)
That is an extremely impressive sit, so straight and she didn't pop up again straight away like Beryl does! I've had one go with Riley but he wasn't ready to learn anything then. It's on the list of things to do. I'll miss seeing Mouse but it's so good she's found her forever home. I hope Riley's forever family turn up soon. I'm not letting him on the furniture just in case he's not allowed to in his new home and he really would like to get on the couch and bed but he's being very good. Hope we still get to see photos of Mouse:)
