New Foster - Introducing Olive, Mouse's litter sister!!!


This morning I made the trip out to the racing kennels where I got Mouse, and picked up two dogs. This lovely young lass, and an 8 year old black girl called Annie. I took Annie to her foster carer and then bought Olive home. 


Annie had been in cars before, and she actually jumped into the back seat with very minimal encouragement. I dropped her off to a place with two whippets and she seemed to think they were Greyhound puppies, they were jumping around and licking her mouth and she was very tolerant. 

Olive was in the back behind the barrier and she was very good the whole way. By the time we got home she was pretty exhausted and a little bit stressed. I introduced her to Bender and Barbie straight away, and Bender tried to get her to play. She didn't really want to though.


I introduced her to Froufrou through the baby gate, and even let Frou out and Olive had a sniff. Olive doesn't really understand the cats but she doesn't want to eat them either. 

Olive is quite different to Mouse, she is a bit bigger, and not as hyperactive. She isn't as confident either and she seems to be a bit freaked out when Bender barks. She isn't a fan of the neighbours coming and going. She hasn't gotten on the couch, preferring to lie behind the couch in a small space. She is very smoochy and very responsive. I don't expect she will be here very long!

She will be having a reunion with Mouse on the weekend, will be interesting to see if they hang out together!
Okay, I wan't her too - Mouse and Olive obviously come from a line of very beautiful greys!
Hope she settles in well with everyone, what a beauty :)

Their mother is coming into foster care with our group next week too. She is a beautiful red fawn girl. I have no idea why they bred her as she wasn't much of a racer, and none of the pups really have the chase instinct... but they sure are pretty! I met one of the brothers while I was at the kennels too - a really big predominately white boy. He is still winning for now but not sure how long he is going to race for.
What a beautiful girl! I think you're right. She won't be there long.
Olive is beautiful, I wonder if she and Mouse will know each other? Were they in the same kennels before being put up for adoption?

yeah the guy breeds them, raises them and races them.... their mother Bronwyn is still there but coming into care with our group this week... I am certain they will know each other but they are quite different personality wise so not sure if they like each other ;)
Dang it! Stop picking up these adorable freaking dogs! Olive looks just like what I wanted in a new hound. You broke my heart with Mouse, please, send Olive here! I'm sure hubby won't notice! :P
Welcome Olive!

We thought of all of you the other day when we saw someone walking a greyhound. Not a breed we see very often.
We have to do introduce the new formation regarding to the new forms. It will be the grate honor for us. If the new features can be express in the different new causes. This is also known as the first development in front of the other people.
