2 - Precious Checks Out Her Surroundings

-
Precious spent her first day with our family exploring her surroundings (very curious) and getting to know the kids.  She's been fantastic with our 14, 11, and 3 year old children who know when to give her space.  She did very well the first night and immediately got comfortable on her new bed in the room.  She'll lay in all kinds of positions that may look odd to us but were comfortable for her.  We've had her in the crate off and on, not only for her feedings (she loves food), but also to get her used to spending time in there.  She goes in fine, whines for a while to make it known she'd prefer to be out with us, then eventually settles down.  She's also been fantastic about us handling her with getting the leash on and off, putting her coat on her for the chilly walks, and petting her all over.

16 - Molly Days

Molly has been slowly opening up to us each day a bit more.  Yesterday, unprompted, she sat down with the kids on the floor and laid her head on Suzanne's leg.  She did this about three times.  She's still does not like to be disturbed when she is sleeping so we've learned to leave her be.  We also found a bone she likes to chew finally as other ones we got her were not a big hit.  Although she loves all food, not everything agrees with her stomach.  Its been a bit of a struggle to find the right food for her but Purina Pro Plan Sport (suggested by Gail from GPAD) seems to be the right choice.  We noticed an immediate improvement.  I can't say it works well for every greyhound off the track, but for Molly, it certainly has.  Oh, and she chewed through two cords so far that were plugged in to the wall (thus our quest to find her chew bones).  But, with a face like this how can you stay mad?

9 - Precious Radar

When we go on walks with Precious, it is full radar alert time.  The ears go up, face forward, and the sight tracking begins.  There is not one sound she doesn't respond to.  She has exceptional hearing.  Not a big fan of trash trucks and school buses.  However, she's done really well with other dogs.  Interested, but non aggressive.  She's a good girl...
