Hi, Kong thief Lisa here. I was busted. There were 5 loose Kongs and I managed to get 3 before I was caught. I am such a good hunter! Tomorrow I'm going on a home visit. Maybe I will steal some hearts and find my new forever home...wish me luck.

Hi, All, Lisa here with an update. As you can see, I am very comfortable and laid-back in my foster home (I am the white/spotted "parti" girl laid out on the floor). We are all relaxing in the tv room; our relaxation spots stretch throughout the house. I continue to be such a good girl, getting that "crate thing" worked out and otherwise a wonderful house guest. And I will be a wonderful dog for that special family. Could you be the ones? Off to relaxing in the front room now...
Lisa

Hi, All, Lisa here with an update. I've now been in my foster home for a week and a half. I am really starting to relax and have fun. Still eating well, enjoying the other pets, no accidents, and I am getting the hang of the crating routine. I can now be left in without a muzzle, thanks to my peanut butter kong and a nice chewing toy.

Today we had another big day. First, we went to a baby shower at foster Mom's work. There are 3 pregnant women there! (Mom said don't drink the water, whatever that means). After we visited there for a while we went to this special place called "Adams Place" where Hey Babie and I made some new and wonderful friends! Here we are with some of them, I'm on the left and Hey Babie is on the right. These nice, new friends gave us Cheerios for snacks and we were so gentle taking them from their hands. One nice lady even had a few herself, and we all had a nice laugh together. Now we are home and taking a nap; being social wears me out! But I had fun and was told I am a "very good girl". I'll check in again soon!

Hi, I'm Lisa! I just turned 2 in March, and my foster parents say I am adorable! I was in a home for a little while, but due to work and lifestyle changes that home didn't think it had enough time for me. So I am visiting with the very couple who drove me, my sister Sandy, and Money up to Nashville from the Birmingham track back last winter; but just until I find a home I can call mine forever.
Here's a little about myself. First of all , I'm cute! My coloring is known as "parti" and I sure do fit the bill. I am currently living with 2 other greyhounds and 2 smaller dogs. We all get along well, I even get along with that rascal terrier-mix, Cosmo. There are also 2 cats here but I pretty much ignore them, except for an occasional curiosity sniff. In my former home I lived with 2 very small children, and I did fine with them, too. I eat well, will sit for a treat, have had no accidents in the house. It's been too hot to walk very much so my foster Mom doesn't know yet if I'll go "on lead" but we'll figure that out when the weather cools down a little. I wasn't crated very often in my former home and right now I don't think I like it very much but we are working on something called a "routine" and after only one week I have shown much improvement. I'm young and eager to please so I'm sure I'll learn quickly.
Yesterday was a big day for me. We went to the Farmer's Market in Murfreesboro. There were tons of people, dogs, kids, you name it. But I was very calm and friendly to everyone who wanted to pet me, and I didn't once bark at any other dogs, although some of them barked at me! Then we went to 100 Oaks and I hung out with Todd and all the other greyhound people-and all the greyhounds. Even my old friend, Money, was there to say hello again. And then on the way home to Murfreesboro we had a flat tire and I got to visit several "service stations" until we could find one to fix our tire. I know why they are called service stations; the guys there loved me and brought me water and everything while we were in the waiting room. Wow, we were all pooped when we got home. I didn't even mind a nap in my crate while my foster parents went out for dinner. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that I'm sleeping on my bed in the bedroom with my foster family and all of their dogs, and one of the cats. I sleep through the night and have not been a problem at all. And they love it when I come to the side of the bed and give out morning kisses.
Guess that's it for now, my foster Mom is typed out. But we'll be sure to keep you posted about me, Sweet Lisa!

Adopted

Lisa was adopted today. I am so happy for her. She's a great girl and we enjoyed our time with her. The house is so much quieter now. She truly is a playful puppy.

Outside

Now that it is warmer out Lisa does not want to stay in the house during the day. I think she would be perfectly happy staying out all day. She will take a stuffy with her and if the door is left open she keeps going back inside to bring more out. She loves to chase things I throw. Loves tennis balls, squeekys, anything you can throw and is small enough for her to pick up. She loves the car too, and rides with her head on the console between the front seats.

Borders and the great escape

Lisa found a new playmate at Borders on Saturday. This little girl didn't leave Lisa's side and wanted to take her home. She had a mean mommy who said no. LOL Thanks to Anne-Marie for the pictures.

We had a lot of fun yesterday. I had to go out in the morning and when I came home I let the dogs outs like usual and 2 minutes later when I went to call them in they weren't there. I have a gate on the side fence that was bungeed closed, we have never used that gate. I guess sometime on Sunday or yesterday morning someone unlatched the bungee and opened the gate and the dogs noticed and took advantage. I was in a major panic. OMG I lost that a dog that isn't mine. I was more worried about Lisa than Maggie. I fixed the gate then got in my car and drove thru the neighborhood calling the dogs. No luck so I turned around and headed home and one of my neighbors was in front of the house saying she had found the grey and put her back in the yard. I put her in the house and then was going to look for Maggie on foot when another neighbor called and said that he had found Maggie about a half mile away and was bringing her home. He is the same neighbor that thru an odd set of circumstances also located my Lucy when she disappeared. I think I need to GPS the dogs :) Anyway the outcome was the afternoon was spent with both dogs zonked out from their great adventure.
