Social distancing with Spidey

Our son brought the grandchildren to see us--and the beautiful greyhound Spidey. He immediately wanted to look in the window and say hi! (A first!) He makes friends easily and has no fear or concerns about children.

He HAS decided that he likes to lay out in the sun in the backyard.

Spidey discovers toys

We have been working with Spidey to teach him about chew toys. We’ve got a large basket of them. He appears to like the blue fire hydrant!

Trip to the Vet

We made out trip to the Vet today for a teeth cleaning, check-up, and to be neutered. On the way over, Spydey was very curious in the back seat--preferring to stand with his head on my shoulder most of the way.

We arrived and the folks at Williamson Co Animal Hospital were just great. They had a system where we waited out front--they came out to the car for both dropping off and picking up.

On the trip back, Rachel sat in the back seat with Spidey and helped him stay steady on the trip home. He's resting in his cage this evening....

A true Velcro hound!

Never seen a grey stick closer than Spidey. “But I just love being with you dad!”

Settling Into HOME LIFE

Spidey is settling in nicely. He loves to lie in his crate and on the various "beds" placed around the house. One of his FAVORITE spots is on the back porch. In the last day or so, he's struggled a bit with the hardwood floors--more so than in the first couple of days--but we are relearning a few skills.

He is also the most VELCRO hound I've ever had! Really LOVES to stay close!

Walks and stairs. Eazy pea you’re!

Social distancing in the neighborhood

Down the steps until we get them perfect

Walking with the foster family. Practicing my steps. Up or down, Spidey has them down!!!

Settling In!

Spidey has made quick progress. He’s mastered steps (both up and down) and after one small ‘marking’ has quickly learned to do his business outside. He gets along great with the other dogs in the house. We’ve walked 3 loops of the neighborhood and he shows no fear of use being nearby when nature calls. He’s adjusting to retirement great!

We did great in the bath. Spidey even decided he just lie down in the water!
