Home



Bow Comeback went home today. Actually, she went to the office, but more about that later.

This is the day every foster parent works towards from the first moment they say, "Sure, I will foster a (insert pet, child)." It is the day when the foster dog gets a forever home. Today Bow found her forever home with Sue, Jackson - another retired greyhound, a Yorkshire terrier, and a parrot.

To say that Bow has found an amazing home is an understatement. Sue owns Animal Krackers, a pet store in Bridgeville, PA and has had 5 other greyhounds in her life. As a matter of fact, she lost BeBe just last week. BeBe was also a brood mama, so Bow's timing was perfect.

Bow will be going to work with Sue and the rest of the family. If you are in the neighborhood stop by and say "Hi" to Sue and Bow. Tell them Lydia sent you.

Bow will be living near Frick Park, where Sue meets up with a lot of other greyhound buddies for walks and get-togethers. She will be living a dream retirement. Which she deserves, because she has worked hard all of her life.

Hooray for Sue and Bow! It couldn't have happened to a nicer couple.



This is Bow's adopted brother, Jackson, doing what he does. Brilliantly.

Sparkles

One of the wonderful things about Bow's beautiful brindle coat is that it sparkles in the early morning sunlight. It looks like someone dusted it with glitter. She is a lovely girl.

Take Me Out to the Ball Park!

We had a family outing to PNC Park on Saturday evening. We walked down to the park with Bow, Rio & Wavorly to enjoy a lovely evening stroll by the river. As it turned out it was also the night the Philadelphia Phillies were playing the Pirates with the largest crowd on record at PNC Park.

Needless to say walking with 3 greyhounds is bound to attract some attention. Rio & Wavorly are used to being in crowds. We were curious to see how Bow would do.

She was cautious but tolerant of the strangers who came up to her to pet her. She met people of all ages, from children to adults. While she chose to hang back while Rio met people, she did not shy away from those who approached her. All in all she did very well in this new environment. I think as she gains more experience with crowds she will relax more and enjoy the attention.
