well being the terrible foster parent that I am, I have selfishly spent my time with the awesome CheckDown and have not been posting how awesome he is.
We love this dog. He is all that is great in greyhounds PLUS! He is young, sweet, stoic, and has so many silly looks and antics.
I hope that there is a family out there who is active and with (or planning) children. Check Down will become just another one of the kids. He is of course much easier to disipline and much cheaper (no college fund to worry about)!
I have had a couple of pep talks with him, b/c he has been on two home visits, but not been the "chosen" one. He does not understand that in a home visit, just b/c you are the cutest and sweetest one of the group, you are not always chosen, b/c sometimes the stars align and forces greater than you take over and there are other perfect matches. So, he is pepped up and ready to go on more home visits.
Check Down loves the following: walks, other similar size dogs, cool with indoor cats, brushing, ear scratches, nice soft beds, and hugs
Not too cool with: small dogs - I think that he thinks they are probably stuffed toys to play with and I get a little over excited.
Is Checkdown still avaliable for adoption. We have 2 small children and are interested in adopting a greyhound. You can email me at brandon@ateamofcontractors.com . Thanks, Brandon
