Having a blast!

Sorry, Lance I need a friend to lean on.

Hey, did somebody say rabbit?



Viper has finally shown trust. It has been about a month, since I have had her and she has grown so much. She now takes food from my hand. It all started when I was sitting on the couch eating Tostitos. She walked over near me, and I was shocked. I put my hand out with a chip in it. At first she just sniffed and backed away. She did this a couple of times, and then very gently took the chip from my hand. Ever since that incident I have been able to give her treats by hand. This is such a huge step for her. Also she now approaches me to pet her. She will come up sniff and lick my hand and want me to pet her. I cannot believe that this shy sweet girl has come so far in such a short time. I finally see her fun personality. She loves to play and run in the yard, and is a kisser. I would have never known that she likes to give kisses because when I first brought her home she was terrified to even come near me. She is extremely gentle and has a playful puppy side. She just needed to come out of her shell to show her true colors.

Who said I retired from the track?

Viper's progress

Viper has shown so much progress, since we have had her. She has learned how to play with dog toys and loves squeaky toys. She runs in the yard with her toys in her mouth. She is starting to show trust and is following me around more. She still doesn’t approach me to pet her. I have to walk over to her, but once I start petting her she enjoys it and wants the attention. She can go up and down the stairs. She sleeps on her dog bed at night, and only gets crated when we aren’t home and during feedings. She doesn’t like to do her business on the leash. When we take her on walks we have to let her out in our yard immediately after. I guess she is a little shy about that stuff. We have two cats and she shows no interest in them at all. She appears to thrive in the presence of another greyhound, and follows our dog wherever he goes.
