The first Saturday of each month, Erie Shore GreyhoundAdoption of Ohio has a Meet and Greet (M&G) at Petco, near Rocky River
Ohio. Bill and Ace normally go, and if
we have a foster dog, the foster dog gets to go too. So, on December 7, Bill loaded the Retired
Racer Bus
Ace and I were standing in this store, which had all sorts
of interesting things, critters, rodents and dog treats out on a big
table. Ace said we can’t help
ourselves. Since I had never been in a
store, this was all pretty scary to me, but I was on my leash and Ace said it
is fun to go there. There were a couple
of girl greyhounds there, Rain, came up from FL with me, and a couple others I
didn't know. It was nice to see some different
greyhounds. Anyway, I was standing
there, and a human girl came up and started touching me in the nicest way. Soon she was petting me, rubbing my back,
using the right amount of pressure and oh my, it felt so good. I leaned against her to let her know that
felt good. I lost my mind for a minute
and pressed my whole body weight into her.
I felt her brace to hold me up, but she didn’t stop petting me. Soon my man, who was talking to another man
handed her my leash. I was worried, but
there was something about her that told me, I would be fine. Plus my man was watching and I don’t think he
would let me get hurt. The girl took me
to look at something called Ferret, and small rodents. We looked at birds and something called cat.
Then we looked at dog snacks and returned to the man and the other
greyhounds. Before I knew what was
happening another man was petting me. He
reminded me of the girl and she was standing next to him. I liked him, and he was petting me too. So I
pressed against him so he could feel how strong I am and that he could pet
me. Next thing I knew, the girl was petting
me again and the man was writing.
Soon we left. It was
fun being at the store with Ace, the man and other greyhounds; it was hard on
my feet. It was nice to get back to the
lady and my bed. I don’t know why we go
to stores.
A few days later, my man took me for a ride in the car, by
myself. We went to see the girl and man
that were at the store! It was so nice
to see them again. I was so happy, I
pressed against the girl and then the man, which is her Dad, and back to my
man. Then a cat came by and told me that
the cat is in charge. It scared me when
it hissed at me, but I was brave. Soon,
my man left me at the house with the Dad and daughter. On the way out, my man told me to be nice
cause these people want me to live with them.
My man said he would be checking on me and if there were any problems, I
can come back to his house.
I like living with the new man, and his daughter. My soon to be Dad is Larry, and my sister is
Alyssa. I will officially be theirs in
about another week. Larry walks me and I
got to meet some neighbors. Soon the
fence will be finished and I can run in the yard, once it warms up. Larry and Alyssa love me a lot and I am
starting to get into their routine. The
cat comes and hisses at me sometimes, but I don’t want to bother it.
Larry has purchased a new collar or two for me and is
getting me a couple of new coats. I am a
happy pampered pet. I hope all the dogs
that came to Ohio with me get good homes like I did.
