First thing was for her to make an inspection of the garden:
The tassel hanging from her house collar has a bell. This is to give any cats which wander in the garden a reasonable chance of escaping before Penny assumes they are rabbits.
After a couple of short walks and a few games of ball on the lawn followed by a welcome meal it was a case of a greyhound doing what greyhounds do best.
As racing greyhounds have never met any other types of dog she wears a muzzle for a few weeks when out for walkies until she learns they can be friends and not meals.
Welcome home, Penny! Looks like her own home and garden inspection went well as she had a good old nose around and then settled down so nicely! Looking forward to seeing how she adjusts to her new and happy home and lifestyle. Little does she know she has already made friends around the world!
ReplyDeleteI won't let Penny know about her world wide fame - it may go to her head ;)
DeleteExcellent news John! She looks lovely. I hope she'll be very happy in her new home. I'm sure she will be a wonderful companion and great fun.
ReplyDeleteNot as sleek as some greyhounds but a lovely soft coat and a nature to match.
DeleteCongratulations Penny,
ReplyDeleteYou picked a special human (John) to care for you. I think he thinks your pretty special too.
Have a good weekend getting to know each other.
Me in Minnesota
Thank you Anon. Penny joins in, and has her nose in, everything.
DeleteShe's gorgeous John, here's hoping for some nicer weather so you can both get out for lovely long walks :-)
ReplyDeleteHer nature is better than the weather though the forecast look better for the coming week.
DeleteJohn, first of all, I'm very sorry to hear the sad news about Bobby. I can imagine just how you felt at the time.
ReplyDelete(I'm in in Wales, and slowly trying to catch up.)
From that picture, Penny looks like she's quite happy to be with you.
All the best to you both.
Thank you Keith. It was something I had been expecting since the New Year. Still a wrench though.
DeletePenny is settling well and seems very happy here.
What a lucky girl! Welcome to blogland Jenny. You've landed on your paws now!
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled for you both John, best wishes.
Thank you Matron. Things are looking good so far.
DeleteHi John, delighted to see pictures of your new friend. We hope she'll settle in well. We wonder how she'll react when she meets your prickly friends - we hope all will go OK.
ReplyDeleteThank you Twosie. All seems to be going OK so far. No early hedgehog seen yet though she can smell the route that have taken.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Penny, glad to see you've made yourself right at home. Linda
