Visiting sister Olive and her housemates....

Cheeky sisters 

Mouse's sister Olive lives on an orchard with another greyhound, and a cat. They have also been fostering Angus for GreyhoundAngels of Western Australia  for quite a while now.

We have taken Mouse to visit twice. It was really nice to see Olive's new family and get cuddles from all the furry kids. Olive and Mouse are similar in many ways - they both chatter their teeth A LOT when they are happy, and have similar mannerisms.

Olive really does have an awesome home with her very own orchard to romp in!



It is kind of funny to watch Olive and Mouse push each other around. They may grizzle at each other but they do spend a lot of time pottering around together. I'm not sure if it is just that Olive is keeping an eye on her to make sure she doesn't get in to any mischief.

They certainly don't grizzle at each other when they have a chance to romp in the orchard with Cody and Angus.


On our second visit they didn't get to run in the orchard, so they had to make do with the backyard. The only time they really had some words were when Mouse was using Olive's mumma's bed as a trampoline. Cody and Angus seemed to enjoy having visitors, though I think they were all more interested in the humans than Mouse. 

Cody is like a big fluffy panda. He sheds more hair than I have ever seen come off a greyhound. 


Angus is a lovely boy and I am really surprised that he hasn't had much interest from potential families. He is a black dog, unfortunately that makes him difficult to photograph. We did have a go though, and he posed for this lovely portrait.

adopt me ?
He does have a pretty good life at his foster home and has adapted to home life really well. He's not skinny any more, either. He's not a huge boy though he does have a very long nose. The photos don't really show his cute long schnoz but it's always the first thing I notice about him when he's sidling up for scritches.

pleaaase ?
I think it's pretty cool that we get to visit Mouse's litter sister. I also enjoy seeing Mouse & Olive's mumma Bronwyn when we go on GreyhoundAngels walks.

I love it when we get to see our girls' littermates, too! I remember when you fostered Olive and I really hoped you'd end up with her, or that we'd get to see more of her. And does Angus have white ticking, or is it raining in the picture of him? Either way, he is stunning!

Hahah it was raining!!! The photographer was sensible and standing under shelter and using her zoom lense so that probably amplified the effect.

If Mouse didn't come back I think Olive might have stayed too! The timing worked out OK though it did look like we would have them both in the house as fosters at one stage, I had to delay getting Mouse back til Olive was adopted. Not sure that would have gone down that well to start with given their tendency to snark at each other a little. Olive's mumma loves her very much and I'm so glad that we get to still visit her :)
Mouse has a few rellies cos her grandfather is Bombastic Shiraz, my friends' dog Miles is her uncle, and we know where Miles' littermate Sax lives as well, gotta organise a play date some day.

Just to show how prolific Brett Lee is, we only have about 8 dogs up for adoption at the moment with GreyhoundAngels and one of them is his grand-daughter (Cathy aka Nosey Pardo). He He :)
