Coming Soon!

Tomorrow afternoon, around 5 the new foster dogs arrive!

I am getting a black greyhound whose racing name is PG Khan.  He is roughly 3 years old.  I looked him up on some racing greyhound website and his racing weight was 71 pounds.  This tells me he is a big guy, just the way I like them.  I believe he may be between 27 and 30 inches tall at the shoulder.  We’ll see.

PG Khan

When he retired, nearly 2 years ago, he was what is defined as a Spook.  As near as I can tell a Spook is so afraid of everything he/she rarely seeks attention, and actually shuns it.  The kennel manager tells me they worked with him for a year and a half, and he is no longer a spook.  So, we’ll see.

Ace was defined as Shy when we got him.  We couldn't pet him, when he walked by I would touch him.  Eventually he would let me pet him.  A lot of patience and love along with Oliver and Mindy, brought him out of his shell.  I am hoping that a lot of patience and love and my three dogs allow Khan to become the confident dog that lives within all of the greyhounds.

I asked the kennel manager what they did to help him, assuming they had a dog psychologist or pet psychic work with him.  She tells me that lots of attention and treats brought him around.  No outside help.  She said just give him treats and talk to him, he should be fine. Well then, he is coming to the right place.  My dogs almost live on treats!  They prefer treats over dinner, but I make them eat most of their food before they get a treat. So, free-flowing treats it will be.   I asked the kennel manager what she thought the trip in the trailer would do to him.  She said he should be ok. 

We are looking forward to having another foster dog.  He may be more challenging than Fog was.  The next blogs will be about Khan.  Here is the picture they kennel sent me of Khan, the foster dog.
