More on Tumbleweed

2009-07-06T15:09:00.001-07:00

It's been awhile since we provided an update on Tumbleweed. She remains a wonderful, sweet, funny little girl. We've learned that thunderstorms and fireworks don't bother her at all and she still has excellent manners inside. She gets better on walks every day and we can see a time when her outside manners are almost as good as her inside manners! She loves to jump as high as she can to grab stuffies and we're going to keep trying to get a picture of it. She's got so much personality and is the only foster we've ever had that friends ask about and look forward to seeing. That's really saying something because we've had some terrific dogs in our house!! Here are some pictures so you can see what a sweet, snuggly girl she is. She shares space very well, as you can see from the picture above! She's just waiting for a home with a little bit of space and people who would love to give her lots of attention!!

Tumbleweed meets her match!

On walks Tumbleweed is so curious and loves to sniff everything and check out all that's going on. She's a ball of motion. But yesterday, she met her match. We came around a corner and Miss Tumbleweed stopped. I looked and there was a Great Dane. Usually she gets excited when she sees another dog, but I don't think she knew what it was. She stood perfectly still as we waited for him to walk by and then she was back to her old self. It was so funny to see her so confused!! She's doing great not pulling on lead and she's slowly figuring out that she might as well ignore the squirrels and cats because she can't get to them anyway. With a little more training, she's going to be a great walking companion. She can go for an hour with no problem!

The World According to Tumbleweed

2009-05-07T07:05:00.000-07:00

Miss Tumbleweed has been with us for several weeks now, and we've gotten to know her very well. We decided it's time to let the world know about the 'Weed's philosophy of life. Her motto is "Go big or go home!" This little wonder doesn't do anything half way. She eats with gusto, rounds every corner on her walks with anticipation, and leans all 60 pounds into you when she wants to snuggle. She greets every visitor like her long-lost friend and has finally convinced her foster brother to jump and play with her. She's learned not to jump on the furniture or the counters, but she still likes to jump for her stuffies, leap up the one(!) stair in our living room, and occasionally puts her front paws on a wall or fence to see what's going on. It's true that she needs a firm hand to keep her enthusiasm in check, but she also makes us laugh every day. She's got a good heart and is full of love. She'll change your life if you can "go big or go home" with her!!

What a great dog!!

2009-04-18T06:04:00.000-07:00

It's time for an update on Tumbleweed. She is an exciting girl. She loves her stuffies and is very good at "killing" them. She likes to chew on rawhide bones and she really loves attention. She lays on the kitchen floor to supervise dinner and likes to be wherever we are. She's been great with visitors and other greyhounds. Miss Tumbleweed has a very high prey drive and it's hard for her to ignore small furry creatures on walks. She's trying hard and learning to ignore other dogs on walks. She's also learning some basic commands like "stay" and "wait."

Tumbleweed a sweet, affectionate girl and would like nothing more than a family to love. She is a beautiful girl that always gets comments on walks. She's a special, wonderful girl. Is she right for you?

Introducing Tumbleweed!

2009-04-05T09:17:00.000-07:00

Miss Tumbleweed has been with us for two weeks now and she's awesome!! She never has accidents, sleeps through the night, doesn't bark or whine, and is fine left alone for up to 8 hours. The 'Weed LOVES stuffies and is very sweet and snuggly. She's a curious girl who likes to look out the window and "help" with tasks around the house. She's a pro on stairs and hardwood floors. She is not cat safe and considers squirrels, cats, and small dogs as fair game. Miss Tumbleweed is getting better on lead and learning to ignore other dogs on walks. She has a lot of personality and is not your typical lazy hound. She would love an active family that will give her lots of love and attention.
