I took the plunge. After spending several hours over yesterday and today, I fell in love with this dog. Can you blame me? Look at her face! Such a sweetheart. Her personality is awesome and she doesn’t have any “issues”: i.e. she’s already calm and balanced.
Her temporary name at the Greyhound rescue kennel was Tonks (named after a female character in Harry Potter.) Her racing name was BW’s Celeste and this link shows her racing history. And boy is she strong! I’ve got some work ahead of me in order to teach her how to walk to heel. She almost tore my shoulder out of socket trying to tug me along. I’m very grateful for all those episodes of The Dog Whisperer that I’ve been watching. I used the first two walks today to project calm assertiveness and display my pack leadership skills. She’s getting the idea.
