We're back from hiatus

Through the persistence of Greyhound Welfare's PR spokesperson, Sally Adams, we garnered spots on local news networks (NBC, FOX, ABC) this weekend to bring attention to our continued search for Haggis. She persevered for three months and her efforts finally came to fruition in widespread media coverage of a very successful search rally.

Thank you, Sally, and thanks to all the volunteers who came out yesterday!

In the meantime, Coltrane continues to blossom. He is showing interest in toys for the first time (especially kitty toys) and even roached on the cold grass in the middle of our backyard. He is very waggy and happy at home, and enjoys chasing and being chased by Iris.

Coltrane is also getting used to standing around at open houses and takes advantage of the friendly people offering pets and scratches. Tiny, snarling dogs scare him quite a bit, although small, friendly dogs are worth sniffing. He does not enjoy halting drives (who does?), as he gets motion sickness. Today wasn't his fault, however, because I drove wildly in attempt to get to an open house that we were already late for. Sorry, Coltrane!

Dremeling Coltrane is a dream once again now that he understands the routine. He even swallowed four large Drontal pills yesterday without any fussing. He was so good that we had to make sure he hadn't cleverly tucked a pill under his tongue. Coltrane would make a great greyhound for first-time adopters due to his laid-back attitude. Naturally, he would be a breeze for greyhound veterans and would be the perfect dog for those who are concerned about any small animals already living their home.
