What a Love!

Love has been visiting with me over the holidays while her wonderful foster family is away, and I wanted to write a little bit about her in her blog.  Suddenly leaving her foster family and "landing" in a new place will be very similar to what happens when she is adopted.

Sooooo, how is she doing?  In a word... GREYT!!!   This is Love!



A little background... Love has had a harder time than many hounds since her retirement.  She was adopted, but developed very bad separation anxiety, and came back to her safety net... GPA Nashville.  If you're thinking about adopting, DON'T STOP READING HERE!!!  This story has a happy ending!!! 

Love's anxiety issue was severe.  Ultimately, she started on an anti-anxiety medication and it has made ALL the difference in the world to her! The medication is given once a day, is very inexpensive, and she takes it effortlessly.

Love is a normal greyhound now!  She can be left alone with her greyhound buddies, and she's not anxious or destructive.  She active, interactive, and plays with stuffies.  She loves the yard and explores.  She is loving and affectionate, but not pushy.

Here are a few pictures to introduce you to this adorable sweetie...

And this is how you gently play with stuffies:






Come back to read more about this precious greyhound.  I've fostered and kept many MANY greyhounds and, believe me, Love is a really REALLY nice and easy girl to have here.  


OK, and I admit it... I'm calling her Love-bug  :-)
