Hello everyone,
Symbol has been in our home for a week. I have also have a greyhound I adopted just over a year ago. She is doing very well, especially having another grey to watch and learn from.
Already she has learned to navigate the stairs to our second floor. She followed Floody right up and down and hasn't had a problem with them since. My home office is upstairs and the two of them keep me company all day while I work. She and Floody get along and she's met most of the neighborhood dogs, big and small without incident.
She loves to go on our walks. Since I don't have a fenced in yard she and Floody are ready go outside! She is learning to stand next to Floody and wait for me to put their leashes on them. Once outside I am working with her not to tug, if I choke up on the leash and put her next to my leg she walks like a champ.
She is very curious, but obediant. She has the happiest tail which goes along with her personality. She is a tad shy but gets over it quickly. She loves children and adults equally. She loves to play too, very different from my big, laid back boy. She'll chase a ball, or toss a stuffed dog toy around with abandon; until she's done and its time for another nap! When I get on the floor to pet her, she reaches out a paw and looks into my eyes, then rolls over onto her back to make sure she gets a good belly rub; tail wagging the entire time. She's crate trained and settles down quietly after a few minutes of protesting. A dog treat helps to not to notice you've locked the door behind her. If the door to the crate is left open, she'll go in on her own to rest.
She's a sweet little girl that would make a wonderful, happy addition to loving home.
