Janie had a great day today! She got to eat her very first pig's ear. Suezettte gave it to her and then tried to get her to go outside. Janie didn't want to at first and so Suezette pulled the pig's ear and pulled Janie out the door. :)

Today Janie went out in the back yard and relaxed in the sun. She looked so pretty. Then she flipped on her back and started kicking her back legs like a bronco. Greyhounds do that when they are happy, so that makes me feel good.

When she was sleeping tonight she was moving her mouth and she looked like she was talking in her sleep.

My friend Suezette came to town today to visit Janie. She says she is here to see me, but I know better. *wink* She has fallen in love with Janie and is constantly petting her. She was just like that with Marty, our former greyhound.

Janie was so adorable today. Every time Suezette stopped petting her, Janie hit her with her paw to let her know she didn't want her to stop.

Once when Suezette was "spooning" in the floor with Janie, she stopped petting her. Every time Janie would hit her with her paw Suezette would "ignore" her. After a few minutes, Janie growled at her to let her know that she expected her to resume petting immediately. We were laughing so hard! Of course, Suezette started petting Janie again.

Janie really likes to run in the yard. She runs around our shed really fast. She runs in a figure 8 pattern around the shet and the picnic table. I can't believe she can turn the corners so quickly without falling over.

She slept in until 7:00 today. I think it is mainly because Suezette kept her up late last night. Janie was trying not to fall asleep while Suezette was petting her. Her eyes were glazed over with fatigue but she would not let her stop.

My poor bunny slippers are being attacked! Janie went into my room and found them and has been attacking them. It is so funny because she shakes them and tosses them around. I am wondering if this is what greyhounds do to real rabbits that they catch.

She also loves to play with the toys that squeak. The first few times she would make a toy squeak she would stop and raise her ears. Now she just keeps on attacking.

This morning she got me up at 5:30. She seemed hungry and I fed her and she ate every bite. When I went to the bathroom she came in with me and even walked into the shower. She is very curious!

Welcome, Janie!

Today we adopted our new greyhound, Janie the "little princess."



We first saw her on an adoption website right after our beloved greyhound, Marty, passed away.

Janie caught my daughter's eye because she was described as "little princess." My daughter considers herself to be a princess. :)

Janie seemed to take to us right away. In fact, while we were at the pet store filling out her paperwork, my younger daughter was petting another greyhound. Janie went and stood between them and looked up at my daughter as if to say "why are you petting that dog when you can pet ME?"

When we brought Janie home, the first thing she did was walk into every room and check it out. She even went into the bathrooms.

She is very curious and notices everything. She loves to watch our fish swimming. She also loves to look out the sliding glass door at the lizards. :)

Janie is very affectionate. She loves a lot of attention and you are not allowed to stop petting her until SHE says so. She will get plenty of love in this houshold. :)
