I'm No Turkey

 Turkey after we picked her up.


One of the most rewarding aspects of bringing a new greyhound into your home whether it be because you opted to adopt or foster is being able to watch them as they become acclimated to their new life. There are many firsts you get to experience and celebrate with them including learning to become comfortable walking on hardwood floors, playing with toys and going up and down stairs to name a few. This week, Turkey has marked all of these firsts off her list and has proven that she is no turkey!

In addition to the firsts, there are also many laughs as they become more inquisitive about household items such as a ceiling fan. The other morning I noticed Turkey seemed a little confused and was staring at the ceiling. I soon realized that the ceiling fan was on and had caught her eye. She continued to stare at the fan for quite some time.

Turkey has been with us for a week now and it is amazing to see how much she has blossomed. She is a beautiful girl whose looks and personality so easily steal your heart. While she enjoys spending time with her foster siblings and is thankful that they share their toys and beds, she is looking forward to finding her forever home!
