Will YOU Adopt Me Tomorrow?!

Last night foster mommy told me that I had a chance at finding my fur-ever family on Saturday.  I sure do hope so because she sure did poke and prod me all night in preparation (the peanut butter kongs were the reward).  Nails clipped, ears cleaned and a good brushing (don't tell foster mom, but I really like that part).  Now I'm all prettied up and ready to turn on my charm!  Watch out world, you're gonna LOVE ME!!

Switch-a-roo!

Looks like we're playing musical kongs tonight!  Rudy and Sparks switched up (okay, I couldn't find the third kong.   I improvised).

Peeeeeeeanuuuuuttttttt Buuuuuuuuttttttteeeeerrrrrrr NOM, NOM!!!!

Took the pups for a nice walk tonight (Rudy did wonderful on the leash) and now they're being rewarded with peanut butter kongs!!

Rudy is determined to get...Every. Last. Drop.

Rudy Gets Away For The Weekend

Foster mom and foster dad are out of town for the weekend, so Rudy checked in with another foster family for the weekend.  He was super excited to meet their pup and kiddos and to play in their yard.  Hopefully they'll post some greyt pics of him for his trusty followers, but if not, stay tuned for Sunday evening when he gets home (his foster home, that is) and we'll post some new pictures or videos of his antics that we've all come to love.  And just to leave you with something:

That face means don't forget about me, I'll be back in a few short days."

NO Football in the House!

Pretty please??

Rudy is Greyt Fun For the Kids!

CAUGHT!!

No foster pups on the furniture!  He's gotta find a home now, I broke him...maybe he came to me that way...yeah, yeah...that's it...he came that way...

I think he's going with the "if I don't look at her, she can't see me" or maybe he's thinking he "blends"??

Worn Out Pup

Seems we managed to wear him out today!

Watched a family movie tonight and when the lights were turned back on, we were treated to Rudy snuggling with his foster-brother, Sparks.  Such a sweet pic! 

Look at the Cute Puppy at the Park!!

Since it was such a nice day today, we took a trip to City Park.  Rudy had a great time walking the path, meeting new friends and checking out the pond (especially since it was FULL of squeaky toys)!!  

Fetch Video!

HE CAN FETCH!

If you've never owned a greyhound before, this may come as a surprise to you...greyhounds don't fetch.  Well, not usually...On the track, their concentration is placed on racing.  Once they get to their foster homes, we are usually more focused on the simple things in life like teaching them to work stairs and learning manners (don't jump on the counters, no, you don't belong on my couch, don't steal food from the other pups' dishes, yadda, yadda, yadda).  The fun stuff doesn't usually happen until they get to their furever homes.  That is where they really settle in.  Where their true personality comes out and shines.  Long story, slightly shortened, Rudy is shining already!  He loves to fetch!  And he is the perfect partner.  He chases the toy and brings it right back to you to throw again!  I've had dogs (non-greys) that you've had to wrestle to get the ball back, what a pain!  Rudy just trots right back to you, drops it and patiently waits for you to toss it again.  What fun!  We did lose a football to fetch yesterday though, so only toss what you consider his :) I have to apologize for not getting pictures though...I was having too much fun! 

We had lady's night at my place last night.  Rudy did great with the crowd.  There was the initial "hello, HELLO!" then after all the ladies settled in, Rudy snuggled up in his bed and took a nap.  Perfect.  Not underfoot, not in your face and not begging. 

Rudy is a nice mix of puppy and greyhound.  Playful when everyone is up and moving and completely chill when it's relax time.  He is going to blend into someone's household like he's been there all his life.  It already feels like he's always been here and it's only been a week!  

Can this household be yours? 

Rudy has arrived :) After about a week of settling in, it is official, Rudy is just a giant teddy bear! He loves nothing more than to be played with (he LOVES the extra squeaky toys!) and to be pet and snuggled. Since he has been here, he loves the bed right next to mine so he can be close all night long. When it comes time to relax, Rudy is a-okay with that, too. A few pics for proof (note the pink pig toy with 16, YES 16, squeakers in it in the corner:

Roo videos are de best!

I love singing the song of my people!
