We just got an update and gorgeous pictures of our foster greyhound Alex (Thrilling Alex), who has been adopted by Noel and Kathleen from Palmerston North.
Noel and Kathleen have recently lost their lovely elderly greyhound :-( We are so happy that Alex found them :)
Noel says:
He is doing great. A little mischievous and definitely becoming more confident. We changed his name to In-D. (Our greyhounds have been named after Kathleen's favorite piece of music: Toccata, Fugue, In-D, the next one will be Minor.) He is learning sit, down, and fetch. Well, he already knew fetch (his trainer taught him :-). It is not throw, chase, look at it and run back, and you go fetch it for me. So far, he is much different than our others that we've had.




In-D's trainers (who gave him to GAP programme), Natalie and Ian George, have his litter sister as their own pet :-) Her name is Josie (Nothin' But Blue), and just like In-D, she is very cute! Natalie kindly sent me pictures below, of her daughters with Josie (very very cute, all of them! :)

Our friend Sue (Frankie's Mum) took videos of Lucy, playing with Frankie - a cute kelpie cross :-) Frankie is similar age as Lucy and it was love at first play! And they play hard and fast :-)
They play very roughly, but love each other! In the background, you can also see Louie and our foster greyhound Thrilling Alex.
Check out the videos! (thanks a million for taking them Sue!) . Make sure you have the volume up as Sue has got fantastic background music!


and more of them playing :-)


And the one below features our foster greyhound Alex (Thrilling Alex) .Although Alex is our new foster greyhound (he has been with us for only 2 days) we offleashed him in the fully-fenced Feilding velodrome today - if you need fully fenced exercise areas, do check your local velodrome! They are typically fully fenced and BIG. Alex is a handsome big blue greyhound with a green muzzle. He did not want to go anywhere -he followed Rachel around the velodrome :-) He is just a lovely boy:
