Animates had their fun day last weekend - I think it was on in most Animates stores all over NZ.
We took our lovely hounds Lucy, Louie and our foster greyhound Fleur(Thrilling Fleur) to the Animates in Palmerston North. They all wore their GAP coats, and were looking very smart! We talked to many people about greyhounds, and what lovely pets they made.
After about an hour Lucy got a bit tired :


So she went and found herself a perfect bed (yes, we bought it for her. It is reversable plush velvet bed :-)

Lucy and Fleur absolutely fell in love with a small piglet that was there! They sniffed it, licked its snout, AND washed its ears at one stage! :)

Fleur wonders: what is it...?

OMG i love it, whatever it is!

Lucy and the piggy : :-)

A few pictures of our new foster greyhound Fleur :-)
She arrived on Thursday last week and has already made herself at home !
We call her The Blonde - she is very pretty and a typical blonde :-) Her racing name was "Thrilling Fleur" but it should have been "Playboy Bunny" :-)
She LOVES her toys, she keeps rearranging them between beds in the lounge , and her crate. She spends quite a lot of time taking toys from one place to another, and she always sleeps with her favourite brown teddy. :-)



Fleur is perfect in the house, very clean and has never had any toileting issues (to be honest we never really had to toilet train her- she simply did it all herself :-)
We offleashed her the first time in a secure area and she recalled to us - she is very eager to please and does not want to get into trouble. She is very trainable and very well behaved.
