My Vacation at GIG - Part 1

So Foma loaded all us pups into the car on Friday morning while it was still dark.  The car was packed but we all found a space to snooze for the ride.  We got to Gettysburg just in time for breakfast.  Foma remember to food! Yay.  We ate outside the car and then it was into this place called a hotel to meet some friends.  There were lots of doors to choose from but we finally found the right one. Boy these rooms had the biggest dog beds ever.  

Here we are just looking around.

These are our friends Janey and Lois Anne enjoying the big bed.  I couldn't wait to try them out.  After all it was time for my morning nap.

But there was no time for naps. We loaded up a van and went to walk around a battlefield.  There was a guide who walked us around and talked about why all those stone people were sitting around.  Me I just wanted to say hello to all the greyhounds and people.  I've never seen so many in one place before.  There was also grass and trees that needed sniffing too.  I really can't recall anything the guide said. I may have been a wee bit distracted.

Must be time for a nap now, cus us pups are tired.  Doesn't Foma know that we sleep all morning after breakfast.  Guess she forgot because it was off to this building with so many tables and booths with stuff for sell.  Oh and more greyhounds and people to meet.  What a way to get ear scratches. All I had to do was walk up and say hello and everyone gave me pettins.  I even found a few greyhounds that looked like me. 

Then if all that window shopping wasn't enough, we headed off to a room to listen to people talk about greyhounds.  This part wasn't so bad. At least we got to take a nap.

Finally at the end of a very long day, we found our hotel room.  I was so happy. It had the big dog beds too.  Foma told me to get off and sleep on the small beds on the floor but this one was so much nicer.   See Dolly and I could share it.  Besides, I was too tired to keep jumping on and off the big bed. So I went to sleep.

Come back to see how I spent the rest of my time at Greyhounds in Gettysburg.  

We're Going On A Vacay!!

Foma has been fussing around the house for the last week or so, pulling things out of closets and rummaging around the garage. She's made more of a mess than us pups. Foma finally told us we are going to something called GIG(Greyhounds In Gettysburg). She said that since I've been such a good girl, I get to go too!!! Oh boy I get to ride in the car, meet tons of new greyhounds and sniff around in some really old historical places. I can't wait.

I know you will miss me but don't worry, I will tell you all about it. Foma promises to take lots of pictures of me in all the fun places. Here's some cute pics of me in the mean time.

 Foma thought it was cute because my tongue was peaking out.

Me, just chillin downstairs.

Well I need to go make sure Foma has packed all my important stuff like food and snacks.  I'll be sure to watch over those in the car.  Check back for fun stories and cool pictures as this family hits the road tonight.

"On the road again.

Goin' places that I've never been.

Seein' things that I may never see again

And I can't wait to get on the road again."

I Just Might Be In Love

Foma gave a ride to a new pup headed to his foster home. It was a great idea. Cheered me right up.  I really like a big, strong, handsome pup and Boomer was all of that.

Yes, I could have nestled a little closer to him.  I was just offering him some support since I'm really good at riding in the car.  In fact, Foma says it was my best car ride ever!  No I wasn't showing off.  I just didn't want to leave Boomer's side.  What if he needed me?  I was ready to lend a paw.

What do you think?  I think we make a lovely couple.  Maybe we can have a play date? or go for a long walk on the beach? or maybe share a meal?  Boomer have your Foma call my Foma.  Just call me.

Somewhere Out There.........

.......is my very special forever family.

I didn't meet them at the adoptathon on Saturday.  I did meet some really nice people and some new pups. Some of them found their families and left to start their journey into retirement.  I was excited for them and can't wait to hear their stories.
Foma said the day was too pretty to waste so she took some new photos of me.  I need to show off my new curves since the last time I was at greyhound central.  Who's that pretty girl?

Wait, before you go, let me give you the Shammy smile.

I'll be here, waiting just for you. Now get your application in to the folks at GEGR and tell them you want to meet Shammy.

"Then we'll be together, somewhere out there, out where dreams come true."

In The Middle

Foma says I'm the creme in her Oreo and she will miss my funny face if I get adopted this weekend.  Even though I will miss my foster family I really want a family of my very own.  I hope I see you on Saturday.

All By Myself

FoMa has been taking videos of me jumping in the car.  She would have to help me at first. Then once she saw that I could do it, she would wait for me to jump but now I jump in as soon as she says 'up'.  She says my video is now ready for public viewing.  Foma wants you to know that even though I waited really nice for her to tell me when it was ok to jump out, I don't wait all the time so you should be careful and watch me when you first open the door.  I will keep working on that.

Walking Weather

Good walking weather is what FoMa has declared it and us pups get to take much longer walks now.  I figured its a good time for me to perfect my leash skills.  If I forget and pull, FoMa gives me a little tug on the leash and I wait for the slow pokes(I mean everyone else) to catch up.
This weekend we got to go all the way to where there's some water. There was lots of smells and sounds and even birds flying around.  Here's some pics of me just taking it all in.

The girls got to walk down to the water but fobro Tapper had to stay back cus he might jump right in. Us girls aren't about to get our hair wet.

I think I need more long Spring weather walks.  Are you up for that?  If so make sure you let the nice folks at GEGR know.  We can be walking buddies.
