SPRING

So nice to be able to sunbath!

Sunday just soaking up some rays!

I don't want to hear any more excuses. Put in the application now!

HARVEY UPDATE

Hey out their, just thought I would drop you a line and tell you what I have been up to lately. The other day I was following my Foster Mom's daughter Kristen around so that she would keep petting me and she took me in the truck with her to get something called "WAWA" not sure what that is but she got some really good smelling food there! This is me trying to keep my balance while she zoomed around!

I finally gave up and laid down so I wouldn't be swaying all over the place. I like to ride in the truck and I always behave myself! It can be very tiring so I needed to take a nap when we got home.

You can see that I have the ETS problem now that I lost most of my teeth. Oh, sorry for those of you that don't know the Greyhound lingo yet that is "Escaped Tongue Syndrome". I don't have any teeth to hold my tongue in so it kind of escapes and just hangs out there. It's no big deal and most people think it is kind of cute.

Just remember if your in the market for a Greyhound I may be older then the rest of the dogs on the site but I have many benefits over a younger dog!  I am completely house trained! Never go after the kitties! I don't get on the furniture, but I will if you want me to! Despite having few teeth I still can eat very well and I never turn down dinner!

I am leash trained and yard trained, I get along with everyone! I love to ride in the car, or truck for that matter! I love to sleep in and I tend to go to bed early too! I do love my sleep time! I am like the perfect first Greyhound!

So quit thinking about it, you know you want me.....just put in that application and it could happen but if I should get adopted before you get the chance to meet me then please adopt one of my friends on the website. We all need our forever homes.

Put in that application right now and maybe you'll get a chance to adopt, or at the very least meet, Watch Him Be Good!  (That's me, Harvey, in case you forgot!)

Hey, how is everyone?

Hey, just thought I would drop a line to everyone and let you know how it was going. Not much to say except that this is me patiently waiting for my dinner....and my future home! I know it is out there, who knows maybe it will be you!

Adoption Day at Greyt Expectations

Well today was not my day. But I am so happy for my 9 friends that got adopted today!  My family is out there, they just don't know it yet. Hey, I'm here at my foster home being good, enjoying life with AJ and Lulu my Greyhound foster sisters and this guy named Wookie!  Life is good! Now it's nap time so I'll talk to you later!

Okay, I'll look cute for you!

Okay, busy weekend, at least Saturday. I guess I should take this opportunity to bring you up to date on everything going on in my life!

On tuesday 19 Feb I had a dental that didn't go as well as I would have liked. I lost a lot of my teeth. The good thing is that after the surgury and the scary bleeding I am recovering nicely and all the pain is gone. I'm back to eating regular food, with a little canned thrown in for taste! I'm once again tossing stuffies into the air and catching them!
On Saturday 23 Feb I went with my foster dad to a Meet N Greet in Leonardtown MD.  It was really fun and I got to meet Rancho, Chellie, Hot, Phil, Miley, Donner (who is also looking for a forever home) Valerie and Reina. I really liked Reina, or at least she liked me, cause she never grumbled at me like she did at the other greys. Her mom liked me too and wanted to take me home! Rancho was a trip, he was afraid of the hardwood floors at the PetValu and they put little bath mats out so that he could walk to the door without slipping! Good thing he has an awesome forever home with a mom and dad  that is patient with him.
After the Meet N Greet I was ready to go home but my foster dad said we had to go to Greyhound Central for something called a Board Meeting, it was kind of like a Meet N Greet but with people who all sat around and talked about greyhounds, come to think of it, thats what they do at MNG's too!
Anyway, I met lots of important people and I made sure that I was on my best behavior! Must have worked cause my foster dad told everyone that I was an awesome dog and everyone agreed, really, I'm not kidding, everyone liked me! My foster dad said I would be good as an only dog, a second dog, good with cats and small dogs, good with kids and good with people.....what more can there be? 
So if you are looking for an awesome, middle age dog, with less teeth than most, then I'm your guy!!
Oh and I don't get on the furniture either and I come with my own bed, a raincoat, a regular coat and two sweaters...what more could a family want from a greyhound? I'll even rooo if you need me to!!

Put in that application now cause someone is going to be really lucky to adopt me and then you'll be sorry you didn't jump when you had the chance!

Well here is another picture of me relaxing at our Meet N Greet! and then a picture of me at my foster home.

. Meet N Greet

Hi there, it's me Harvey, Watch Him Begood! Not conceited but that was my racing name. I was bounced from my home after three years. My mom got married and then had a baby and there was just no room for me cause they lived in small townhouse with a very tiny backyard. Plus I need dental work that they couldn't afford. So I have come back to Greyt Expectations in the hope that they can find me a new home with a huge backyard and lots of space inside. Although I would be happy with walking on lead cause that is what I have been doing for the last three years.

Anyway, enough about that, I am approx 80 lbs. and seven years old. I love to be petted, play with stuffies, take walks, eat, ride in cars, run with other greyhounds, I am totally house trained, did I mention eat....I really like people and those really furry things, I guess they are cats.  I can do stairs too.  I didn't know much the last time I was adopted but this time I am prepared....I can do everything. Oh but I really don't like those things called crates....I don't like being locked up. I don't mind baby gates though cause then you still have a big room to stretch out in.

With everything I have learned in the last three years I think I would be able to live anywhere and do well. I know that I am a little older than most of the greyhounds that are available but hey, I'm so much better behaved then they are....a lot less work then a newbe...most of that training and dicipline stuff is done already.  I'm not available right now cause I'm having my teeth cleaned and polished on Tuesday but after that I will be ready to go! By the time your application is approved I will have nice clean teeth and good smelling breath so that you can hug and pet on me all day!!!!

So take a chance and put in an application to adopt me! You won't regret it!

Hi I'm Harvey!
