Condo comes HOME!!!!!!!

After a month and a half of waiting... our boy is home! El Conde (Condo) arrived at 11:30pm Tues night. He is so much more that we could ever imagine. He's two and he acts like it. He has already heisted a doggie cookie off the kitchen counter, and he tears through the house throwing his "stuffies" in the air! We love it! Patience often looks at him like he has lost his mind, but she is so much happier now that he's here. Daniel and I could just spend all day watching our babies. It is so great to hear the pitter patter of four more little feet, even if he does insist that everyone be up and awake at 6:05 am (I think that is when Patience liked him the least). None the less he is home and our family is a bit more complete. We will never forget our precious Permaguard (and Condo is nothing like him), but there is no longer and empty pillow that needs a dog. And Patience has a walking chew toy again. There is constant laughter as we watch Condo discovering his new home. Thanks Teddy, you must have been wonderful to him... we have never met a happier kido!!!!!



Quality time with Pops!


Momma's Boy!!!



Tearin' up the "stuffie"!!!!







See me.... I got it!



I LOVE my new yard!



Patience has learned the importance of eating her cookie as soon as she gets it. Condo has tried to help her eat it a time or two... funny since that is the same thing she use to do to Perm.



The view below!!!


What a precious face...don't ya think!



That's good grub.



Loving eyes.



Look out... happy dog coming through!



He discovered the bird feeder out the front window... now it one of his fav pasttimes.



Resting beside mom's desk... so he'll have energy to drive Patience bananas!




Hey Patience... you see that Cat?



Patience stole Condo's pillow... she was a little peaved about being up so early!



No worries... Patience's pillow is just as comfortable.



It's a dog's life.



Home made cookie time! I finally made some doggie cookies from the Doggie cook book Daniel got me for my birthday...now everytime the oven time goes off two greyhounds run to the kitchen. I tasted one... I don't know what they are so excited about!



Cookie Cookie!!!



BEWARE!!! Vicious dog!



Every morning Patience has to take her arthritis medicine. The easiest way we have found is to grind it up in can dog food. Ofcourse Condo gets a little as well... I think this is his fav part of living here.






And now... with a full tummy... he sleeps!

SOAP BOX TIME: 3 and 1/2 years ago I when I met my wonderful husband, he had two of the funniest looking dogs I had ever seen... Greyhounds. Skinny heads and bodies were new to this Great Dane loving gal. Now I can never look back. I have had dogs all my life but a Greyhound is on a level all their own. If you are considering bringing a dog into your home, please research adopting a Greyhound. The fact that they can go from racer lives to fabulous pets is amazing to me. They are truely the most loving animals you can find. You won't be sorry. Teddy and her gang are wonderful http://www.halfwayhomegreyhounds.com/ . There are many adoption angels on there and I'm sure there is one near you! (Ok stepping down off the soap box)
