Adoption Day!

Yesterday was Rene's official adoption day! Mom (Grandma) came with us to the Petco in Littleton, where there as a Friends of Retired Greyhounds meet and greet, as well as the place to finalize adoption. When we got to Petco, Rene was hesitant to go in because it was so busy with cars and automatic doors opening and closing. One of the FORG founders was there and came out and helped us get Rene inside. We found a large pen with about 6 or 7 Greyhounds inside and Rene was able to join them. She was pretty much the smallest of the Hounds and looked like everyone's little sister. And, a little special as the only one wearing her harness. She let people pet her, including children, and she seemed to enjoy herself.

Another Greyhound mama was adopting, so we sat down and went through all the information with the FORG founder. I have Rene's racing certificate, vaccine information, microchip data, information special to Greyhounds, etc. It took about an hour to go through it all and have the chance to ask questions. After the signing, we got to take our picture.

We came home and I went off to Mom and Dad's later for Robert's birthday celebration. Then I came home, and Rene and I sat on the couch together and watched a movie. She is now fine with sharing the couch, especially because I feed her treats and pet her ears.

Welcome home, Rene! We are a match made in heaven.
