It's Official

Bo went to his forever home last night....in spite of my lack of blogging (not Bo's fault - It's truly a reflection of me and not of Bo!)

They are experienced greyhound owners, in fact, they adopted the very first SEGA dog, tag #2 (John paid for tag #1). Lovely, lovely couple, empty nesters, so Bo will get lots of love and attention.

His toe is still healing and will need a couple more vet visits. But, Bo mastered the stairs and learned to sit for a treat while I fostered him.

I couldn't be happier for Bo...he found the perfect home!

It's been a little over a month

since Bo came to stay with me. He broke a toe on his left front foot (I think learning how to get up and down the stairs) and has been in a splint for almost 4 weeks. He has finally accepted the splint and can climb up and go down my back deck stairs without a problem. We go in for weekly checks and splint changing if necessary.

Bo is sleeping in my bedroom at night. on the floor, on a nice, comfy, round bed next to my Grey, Maya. He sleeps through the night and wakes me up about 7:30am to let me know it's time to go out. Bo and the other dogs in my home hang out with me during the work week in my home office. He still smiles that goofy smile of his just to let me know he's a happy boy.

I have a foster family!

BTO Bohemian (Bo) came right home with me after his kennel check-in and spa treatment on Saturday 3/29/08. He met his foster sibilings, Harley, the lab mix, Chloe, the small Maltese/Bischon mix and Maya, 100% Greyhound. It was a great meeting set up in the backyard. Everyone sniffed each other and then took off to do their "business".

Bo has settled in nicely. I crate him while I work during the day and then I keep him leashed when he is out of the crate to prevent him from having an accident! So far so good. He seems to ignore Chloe so he does seem to be "tolerant" of small dogs.

Bo has a slight overbite which is so adorable. And, he's a "smiler". I'd heard some Greyhounds do this but never witnessed until meeting Bo. He's a happy boy and smiles a lot. It's the absolute funniest thing I have ever seen. He doesn't mind me laughing, it just makes him smile more! (I'm laughing with him!)

More later.
