Crate?

Oinky Ribs

20131004_175706(0)They have the whole yard and they always choose to eat plastered right up against each other. Too bad raw feeding turns them into vicious monsters! :)

Foster Friday: Nero

Nero is a 2 yr old galgo that flew in from Spain this past Tuesday! He was a bounce from a shelter over in Spain and he was not happy about being back into kennel life. Sighthound Underground was able to bring him over here to give him another shot at that forever home!

He is one of the easiest fosters! He's smart and snugly. Not really that energetic for a 2 yr old. His sole purpose in life is to find a human and snuggle. He knows how to Sit and Give a paw along with Stay. He's going to be a pup that bonds quickly and thoroughly with his new family.  It's impossible not to fall in love with him!

Foster Dog’s Name? Nero
Breed? Galgo
Gender? Male
Altered? Yes! and I haven't even thought about trying to hump my foster sisters. I am a gentleman.
Age? 2yrs
Potty trained? Yes! There *might* have been an incident where I peed on a wall my first night here... but it hasn't happened again! I've gained my freedom from the belly band!

20131117_111002
Crate trained? Yes, but I'm not too happy in there... I sing off and on. Foster Mom leaves a radio on for me and I like that!
Cat safe? Why won't they play with me? Their hissing is more than a little scary.
Dog friendly? Of course! I love friends!
Kid friendly? They have hands and bodies. They can pet and snuggle! I love them!
Fence jumper? Foster Mom has a 6 ft privacy fence and I haven't tried to go over that. I do keep looking at the top though. Geesh I'm just looking! No needs for her to loudly yell...
Happy as an only dog? As long as I have a Mommy or Daddy I would be fine! I do like the other dogs for company, but am pretty confident on my own.
Any meds? (other than HW & Frontline) Nope! Just flea and tick stuffs!
Any other quirks? I'm cute and snugly! I'm not happy unless I'm laying on someone or touching in some way. If you need a cuddle buddy I am your guy! I have no space issues

20131117_123354
Favorite treat? Anything! Haven't found any food that I don't like. Have nice firm poops too!
Favorite pup food? Right now I'm eating the Natures Domain turkey and sweet potato. It's the costco red bag stuff
Favorite human food? Cashews, peanut butter, chicken, basically everything I have tasted so far! I love American food!
Do you like to chew? I like to nibble on stuffies, but haven't destroyed any.
Favorite chewy? I haven't had a chewey yet. I did have a greenie yesterday. It was my payment for being a brave boy with the dremel.
Do you like pedicures? I wasn't lounging on the couch like my foster sisters, but foster mom could do my toes all by herself.
How do you feel about the couch? As long as there is a human to snuggle they are the best!

20131115_221622

Do you prefer snuggling or your own giant bed? Snuggle!!! I'm a lap galgo ya know
Favorite naughty thing to do? Jump up! I'm tigger! I also give hugs. I don't try to knock anyone over so foster mom can't decide whether to hollar at me or just accept my hugs and love on me.

20131116_092641

How fast do you zoomie? Not as fast as my foster sisters. There are too many smells to stop and sniff.

20131117_111003

What’s your opinion on squirrels? Haven't seen one yet. I bet I would have fun chasing them...

20131114_185529

Opinion on birds? Do they really taste like chicken? Oh I like chicken! Where are these birds? When can I get one?
Are you a guard dog at the front door? Or a sleeping laid back pup? Laid back pup! The only time I've barked was when the neighbor dog was saying bad stuff about us through the fence. Foster Mom says he's aggressive and we just have be big kids and IGNORE him! Silly lady doesn't know I could kick his butt through the fence.
Do you like long walks? Right now I get tired after a mile. My paws have to toughen up some more.

20131113_173933

How important is your sleep? Only third to food and snuggles!
Who is your favorite puppy friend? Sunshine! She plays with me in the backyard.
Do you like to travel? I'm an excellent car traveler! After being on a couple airplanes, traveling is nothing!

20131117_122855

Where did you travel from? Spain! Pups there don't have many good chances at homes. Be careful googling... It's not good for us galgos over there.
Any interesting travel stories? American Airlines said they couldn't fly me and my friends last minute. So SHUG had to pay for other tickets and fly us on another airplane a few hours later. We were scared at the airport thinking we wouldn't get our trip to America!
What do you think of strangers? What's a stranger? Do they snuggle? Can they pet me?
Favorite toys? This little stuffed piggy of Sunshine's. She's a very good foster sister and lets me play with it.

20131114_185550

What’s your favorite game to play? Watch me climb and worm my way closer to you with every breath...
Opinion on belly rubs? Rubs anywhere please! I'm not picky

20131112_215135

Do you yell at your humans for anything? To get out of the crate. Foster Mom says maybe my forever home won't have to crate me. I sure hope they just snuggle with me all day every day.
Do you marinate your brains to make them smarter? (sleeping upside down with head off bed or furniture) Sometimes... I do like roaching every once in a while.
