Elite had a home visit last Saturday. He didn't find his forever home yet, but I'm sure one will come to him soon. I hope so because I would certainly hate to fail at Fostering 101! This sweet boy is very easy to fall in love with!

Elite is waiting patiently for his evening cuddle time. Every night he looks forward to having us lay down by him, he curls up in a little ball and buries his head into your chest. I think he would love to stay like that all night long! Unfortunatley we aren't able to...but could YOU be the one that could make Elite's Dream come true?

Elite discovered that snow doesn't have much of a taste and it can make your nose very cold!
But the cold didn't seem to bother him at all. In fact the colder it was the more playful he would become. He was o.k with wearing the coat too!

A Christmas Nap!


Elite's first Christmas in a home was so exciting but a bit overwhelming! Plus all the hounds lost out on their morning nap. Now it's time for Elite and Heart to catch up on that lost sleep!

Christmas Stuffies


Elite isn't quite sure about all these new stuffies showing up on Christmas morning. Right now he's just going to lay here and think about all of this!

Christmas Morning for Elite





I'm sure Christmas morning was a bit overwhelming for Elite. All of a sudden those pretty presents that have been sitting under the tree were being torn into like crazy and no one was being scolded for destroying these things! Elite finally took his present from me and set it down to look at it as if he wasn't sure if he was allowed to tear into it too. Well I guess he was taking too long thinking about it so our Heart dove in there and showed Elite how it's done.

Now if he wasn't confused before all this, I'm sure he was afterwards. I mean MORE stuffies?? Weren't there enough already in this house? He hasn't really caught on to this stuffie thing. He just needs time to get use to his people and surroundings. Elite loves to be part of the action but he wants to do it at his own pace. Life outside of the kennel can be so overwhelming! But he is getting more at ease everyday. He seems to really enjoy having other greyhounds around to help him learn about life in a home. As far as stuffies go, well... he'll carry them around very gently and set them down around him. I'm sure any day now he'll get more active with them.

Elite's Holiday

Posted for Judy & Harley Hazzard (owned by Turtle and Heart)...

“Elite” is staying with us this week while his foster folks are out of town. He is such a sweet boy, gets along greyt with our hounds and is very good with our 3 kitties.

Elite just loves to spend time outdoors. I think if he had his way he’d be out there all day long! He loves to be petted and if any of the other critters are getting attention he comes right over to get his share of attention too. But he isn’t pushy at all. He crates up easily, sleeps all night long and hasn’t had any potty accidents in the house. He can be scared of strangers, but once he knows you he is right by your side. He comes when you call him which is something that my two hounds need to learn from him!




I think Elite’s dream is to have Santa find him a loving home, with a soft bed and some stuffies for Christmas!
