Upon our arrival, we got an extensive debriefing about all things greyhound from Bobbie, the wonderful adoption counselor. Then we loaded Hyde into the car and after a quick stop at Petsmart and then another run into Chik-fil-A for milkshakes (SHUT UP, we know we have a problem!) we brought him home!
Chillin' in the backseat with Auntie Amanda-- he drooled the whole way. Poor Amanda had doggie drool in places she never thought possible. ("Oh, man! That one went down my cleavage!!")
Once home, he took a little while to sniff everything and settle in, but quickly made himself at home:
Don't get up for me, lazy bones!
We have introduced him to a bunch of people and dogs, and he is remarkably responsive. He is super-chill: the yappiest dog, the fastest cat, the smallest baby gets a sniff and then he's not interested any more. We're very lucky that he is so responsive and calm.
Right now we are working on the "heel" command and basic house manners, like not jumping up on counters and leaving mommy alone when she's eating. But Hyde is very sweet and eager to please, so I am confident that he will learn the rules fast.
We are so happy to welcome Hyde into our home. A huge thank you to Amanda for all of her help on Monday morning.
