The Christmas Addition

Sal, 8 months old, is our newest foster, and she's settled in very quickly - thanks to Demitri!

She didn't want to come into the house, so Demitri went down the stairs to say hello. She followed him in, and after about 20 minutes of sniffing rooms, corners and dog bums, her tail got its wag back.

She and Demitri slept in crates on the main floor. She was quiet, but Demitri yipped his protest every five minutes. After about an hour, Don got up, leaned over the rail and yelled, 'Hey! Shut up and go to sleep!' And there wasn't another yip the whole night through.

Neither Sal nor Demitri really know how to play, it seems. Demitri chews on her neck or her back leg and Sal looks confused. But I think they'll be good for each other. This morning, both of them were in my lap. Demitri learned that grrring for attention just gets him booted off the couch, so he contented himself with sharing the snuggles.

Sal is very friendly with people and she got lots of pets on the walk today. She even jumped into the truck by herself at the end - although I had to climb in first and bribe her with a treat!

Sal is a Pawsitive Match puppy, ready for adoption - well worth checking out if you're a greyhound fan. She's very sweet.
