Three Dogs in My Wagon - Day 1

 Yesterday, Wednesday was my day to volunteer at Hounds Rest.  It was it's last day with occupants.  When I arrived there were six dogs there.  With the help of other volunteers from Greyhound Pet Adoption NW they are all at foster homes.  Foster homes provide a temporary home while these     dogs have been raised in a kennel.  They do not know houses, cars, stairs, garage doors.  This is what foster homes are about.  Transition.   The photo is of the vehicle that transports the dogs from Kansas back here to Portland.  

   That brings me to yesterday and the start of our 'foster  adventure'.   Randa and I decided that we needed to be a part of the grey's transition process.  So we have Wally.  Wally is a Fawn-Bryndle.  He is about 20 months old, still needing vetting plus meds for various "puppyhood" preventions.  I loaded him into the truck as we closed up HR.  He settled down pretty much right away for the ride home.  

    We spent the rest of the day mostly indoors, because of the smoke from all the fires nearby, but he explored most of the house, looking and smelling everything.  We kept a close eye on him so that there were no accidents, taking all of the boys "outside" (which means in the backyard ) for a potty break several times.  The day went well. No surprises.  Our boys have seemed to accept Wally and right now  he is asleep in front of the fireplace.

Wally is a young male about 18 months old.  He has not been fixed or vaccinated  and is a sweet boy.  He will be a great companion for his future family.
