Walker Takes A Ride

Since Walker's foster mom has a full fall travel schedule, the SEGA Foster Coordinator asked for other potential foster parents to step up.  We've wanted to foster a hound for a while.  After reading Walker's blog posts, and after talking to his foster mom on the phone, we drove over to meet this special boy.  We took our hounds with us to make sure we were a good fit for him.  They all got along just fine - so Walker's going to be staying with us until he finds his forever home!

I always thought my greyhounds traveled well.  Walker has both of them beat by a mile.  Once the car was in motion, he stretched out and really seemed to enjoy the ride.


Walker is in the middle.  He is a beautiful dog -

Awww . . . He's so sweet!
When we arrived home, Walker explored the house just like my dogs did when we brought them home the first time.  Once he had a chance to settle down a little bit, he ate his dinner in his crate.  He seems to find comfort in there.  We haven't closed the crate door - he's been free to move in and out of it as he chooses.  When we sat down to watch some tv, he flopped down on a dog bed and went to sleep.

We're looking forward to tomorrow to watch him as he explores the backyard in the daylight.  Lots of new sights to see, smells to smell and LOTS of photos to be taken!
