After we moved, we kicked around the idea of getting another dog or fostering one of the greyhounds that Rescued Racers has up for adoption. The week we babysat Dream's mom, that kind of made the decision for us since she acted so strangely and totally distanced herself from us.
While she was staying at
her foster mom's house one weekend we had a wedding, Dream met a dog who'd just come from the track and they got along great. He went to a foster home, but his foster dad's allergies began to get really bad and he could no longer keep Longshot Manny aka "Barney."
We'd seen Barney at Borders several tiems doing gift wrapping with us, and he and Dream got along very well so we agreed to let him crash with us until he gets adopted. It's a little different having a 2-year-old boy in the house ... he likes
to get up early and isn't the most graceful dog in the world. He's a bit bigger than Dream and really couldn't sneek up on anyone if he tried!
So far, he's getting acclimated very well and seems to like it here. He even slept until 9 a.m. today instead of getting us up at 3:15 like he has the past few mornings.
