Baby it's cold outside!

Here I am with my foster sister during our spa day.

Hey there handsome!
Hi everyone, Condor here hoping everyone is staying warm! It sure has been cold lately so I haven't been out to do much exploring. I keep hearing the people talk about "snow"... my foster siblings say it's greyt fun and I hope I get to find out for myself soon. Right now the cold is not much fun, I run outside and do my business and run right back in to warm up. Foster mom says a nice way to pass the time is by hosting a spa day, so we invited some greyhound friends over and we all got our nails done. Not a very manly pastime but it seemed to make the people happy and I got lots of peanut butter so it really wasn't too bad. Besides, with Valentine's Day coming I gotta keep up these good looks to impress the ladies!

 Since I'm staying inside where it's warm I'm trying to keep my mind busy by learning lots of things so I can be ready for my forever family. Foster mom says that while it is sweet of me to rest my head in her lap for pettins while she watches TV it is not polite to sniff her food when she is eating. To keep everyone happy I am learning how to lay on a bed and wait patiently while the family eats.
I'm waiting.................
Foster mom says I have lots of potential, she said that means if you want to teach me tricks I would learn them real quick so you could show off to all your friends how smart I am! I'm starting to catch on to the sitting thing that lots of greyhounds don't like to do so she's really proud of me already. I won't stay sitting very long but I will do it long enough to get a cookie! I love cookies and I try to remember all the ways to get them like sitting when someone says sit or going to my bed or kennel when I'm told.  Do you know more ways to get cookies? Would you teach them to me? I really want to learn! I can't wait to find my forever home and learn lots more ways to get cookies!

Hello everyone, Condor here to catch you up on my adventures in foster life! I moved to another foster home but I don't let the changes stress me. No sir, I am one go with the flow kind of guy. My new foster mom has lots of nicknames for me.... dreamy eyes, love bug, McLovin, Mr. January.... she says I am a most eligible bachelor but I'm not sure what that means... I really don't care though because she is usually rubbing my ears when she calls me those things so she can call me whatever she wants. Here in the new foster home I have three foster siblings, two are greyhounds like me and one is a little bitty guy!

Here I am chilling with the little guy!
 We call him Doolittle and that's what he does- very little! I get along fine with him so if you have a little dog don't worry about me, I won't mind at all! Here Doolittle and I were waiting patiently for the family to finish eating so they could love on us.


Hey, that looks like us! Does my tail look bigger on TV?
My new foster siblings are pretty quiet like me but one day the human kid here got her phone to sing the song of our people and we all had to join in, it was greyt fun! What was even crazier was foster dad recorded us and then made dogs that looked just like us sing back from the big TV,  I was mesmerized!!
 What else can I tell you about? Oh, foster mom says I have to show you this picture. Foster dad says I have "wolf eyes" foster mom says they are just gorgeous and she could stare at them all day, I'm not one to brag but since she insists here you go...
Look into my eyes....you want to pet me...you want to hug me...you want to fill out that application and bring me home!
There's the beagle again, photo-bombing me a little but I didn't even notice he was there in the moment. I really don't pay much attention to any of the other dogs around here.... I'm a ladies man, uhh, I mean people person, uhh... I LOVE PEOPLE!!!!! I don't want to sound like a creepy stalker here but I will follow you anywhere, I firmly believe that your lap was created to be the perfect place to rest my head, I really want your attention.... please love me! I can wait patiently by your feet while you eat or beside your bed while you sleep, or even in the bathroom while you....shower. But as soon as you're done I will be right there waiting for you to love me! I mean waiting to love you!
 Okay, just one more picture foster mom insists I share. She was ignoring me for the skin kid, something about homework or whatever, I don't know but I gave her the look.... she told me to stop pouting, I didn't budge and what do you know it works every time--- as soon as she took this picture I got the ear rubs I wanted!  Really I'm not demanding, I am a gentleman, but even a gentleman has dreams and mine is to have my very own family or even just my very own person. I don't care if you have other dogs already I will get along with them whether they are big like me or even little like the beagle here. I don't mind too much if you have to leave me while you go to work. I will be right there waiting and super happy to see you when you get home. I can even wait all day without a potty break. I will be a devoted and affectionate loving companion. If you're looking for some love I have a heart full to give so won't you fill out that application and come meet me?? <3 Condor

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!!!  I am looking forward to finding my very own family this year!  I know that my forever family is out there and I can't wait to meet you!  My foster family has been really great.  They are teaching me all sorts of manners.  I still try to get into the trash can, but a dog can dream right?  My foster family has kids and I love them.  Sometimes they give me treats and I get lots of pettings from them.  I love getting pettings and rubs.  I will stand there all day and let you pet me.  Foster mom says I'm going to make some family really happy.  Maybe that family is yours?




I've got this relaxing thing down.
