Hello everyone,

It has sure been busy around here.  My FM had some people over and she put us in her office for a while.  We couldn't see what was going on, but a lot of the visitors came by to see us and we could greet then over the dog gate (baby gate).  After a while, she let us out and we had a wonderful time greeting everyone and trying to get folks to share they food and drinks with us.  We quickly went and laid down and everyone praised us for being so good.  I really wanted to jump around and show people how I can jump and play, but I took the cue from my foster brother and sisters and I think that was the right thing to do.  There are sure a lot of options when you live in a house, but I think I am learning how to be a good "house person."

There have been several thunder storms here recently.  They don't bother me at all.  My foster sister does
not like them and she pants a lot but I just sleep through them.  I am so brave!  I am handsome too.  Did I tell you that?

I think it is time for my dinner so I better close and go tell FM to get with the program and feed me.  Then it will be time for my evening nap. Napping is way more fun here because there are lots of soft beds for me to sleep on.  There are beds in every room and I don't even have to share.

If you think I would be a good addition to your household, let the folks at GEGR know and we will see if we can "make a match."

Take care,
Rebel

Here are some picture of me:

This is me helping FM work in her office.  It sure makes me sleepy.

I just love toys.

I play some and then I have to rest.

This is my favorite bed.  I don't like you seeing by bear butt.  The hair will grow back with time.  My FM says it is cute.

Hello to all my fans,

I am still here at my FM's house.  I met some people last weekend, but no match was made.  That is OK because my FM said I could stay here until I found just the right family for myself.  I know my family is out there somewhere.  Might you be the lucky one to take me into your family?

While I was up a GHC (Greyhound Central), I gave everyone a sample of my singing.  Yes, I can sing!  I don't like to be left alone in the crate when there are people talking elsewhere in the house.  While they were having a meeting, I serenaded them with one of my favorite selections.  I hoped they enjoyed it as much as I did!

I spent a good portion of that day with a small creature that they told me was a small dog.  He seemed nice enough, but he was so small.  He could even walk under me and he barked a lot.  We made friends quickly and had a nice day together.  I wouldn't mind living with one of those "little dogs."

I am learning all sorts of new things.  I found that toys squeak and I can throw them into the air and catch them.  I learned that when my FM says "leave it" I am supposed to stop whatever I am doing.  It took a couple of times for me to get the hang of it, but now when I do "leave it" I get all kinds of praise and that is really nice.  I know how to let my FM know when I need to go out and I have even learned to wake her up if she is still sleeping in at 7:00 am.  I know where the food and treats are kept and I stand right by FM when she is fixing our food or treats.  She may need some help and I want to be right there for her.

My FM gives me lots of attention but sometimes the other dogs here push their way in to get attention too.
It is really nice when FM come and lays down with me and then we can have some "privacy" when we love.

It is time for my nap now, so I will close.  If you think we might be a match, let the good folks at GEGR know and they will set up a meeting.  You won't be disappointed.

Bye for now, {yawn}

The Vet and the toy box.

Hi there everyone,

I am having a really good time learning about new things here in my foster home.  Yesterday, my foster sister, Missy, and I went to a new place.  It smelled like dogs and cats and I could hear some of them "talking" to me from the back of the building.  My FM explained that we were at the vet's office and we were there to have Missy's tail checked and that I was just along for the ride.  I was glad they were not going to do anything to me because I wasn't sure about that place.  Missy assured me that it was OK and she was very brave so I knew it was OK.

I enjoy running in the back yard.  Sometimes my foster sister Sunny runs with me but I think I am much faster than she is.  I have also discovered what FM calls the "toy box."  It is this big thing that is loaded with all sorts of interesting things.  I pick them up and carry them into another room, but I think I can do other things with them too.  I will have to investigate these items further.  I think they can be a lot of fun.

Right now, it is my nap time.  When you are retired, sleep is very important.

Until later,
Rebel

Hello Everyone,

My name is Rebel, but I am just a sweet loving guy.  I am at my foster home now and we are having a pretty bad storm right now.  I am not real happy with all the noise, so I decided to "blog" some to get my mind on happier things.

Yesterday was a pretty busy day for me.  I got up early and rode for a while, then they put me in another vehicle and we rode some more, then some people did some things to me that were different but not all bad (like my bath).  Then I slept in the crate some and a lot of people came by to say hello.  Then it was another car ride and then I met my new FM (foster Mom).  She was real nice to me and gave me lots of kisses and lots of scratches.  Then she put me in another vehicle and we came to this place that FM calls my foster home.  I was pretty tired last night so I slept all night in a crate just the way I have done my whole life.

I like it here at my foster home.  There are three other greyhounds here, so I feel right at home.  There are some strange things here, however.  There are several places where I look and there is another greyhound looking back at me.  Every time I move, he moves.  I would really like to get to see that dog better, but he won't come out.  FM says it is my reflection, but I don't know what that is.  I just hope that "reflection" doesn't try to eat my food.

There are lots of soft beds here, but being the new guy, I have to take the left overs.  Everyone moves around so I get to try all the beds eventually.  My FM gives me lots of kisses and attention.  I am not sure about all the "love" but I think I like it.

I sure feel comfortable here, but I want to have my own home.  Might that be with you?  Let's meet and see if we can do the "Rebel Yell" together.

Until later, Rebel
