I'm going to warn you that this post will be picture heavy. We had so much fun and Ellie did so well I had to share more than just one or two. I took Ellie along with my two hounds on a road trip this past weekend and she did fabulous. She makes the perfect traveling companion. We went to Southland Greyhound Park in West Memphis, Arkansas for the annual reunion and had a great time.
Ellie slept pretty much the almost four hours it took to get there. She woke up to look around when I said "hey guys, we're in Arkansas!!!!!" (Everyone is muzzled as a precaution. At that point these hounds had only known each other for a couple of days).
She has not been allowed on the human beds at our house and has been okay with that (I discourage it for fosters in case their forever family decides they'd rather the hounds sleep on the hound beds), but after sniffing around the hotel room for about 30 seconds, she decided this was her spot. As I knew she would be left alone in the room and it was only for this weekend, I let it slide.
I went to some of the kennels at the track while I was there and left the hounds alone for a few hours. They got along wonderfully and did just fine being left alone in the hotel room. Here are the happy hounds I returned to.
Here's a shot of Ellie riding around West Memphis with me.
And sweet Ellie after a very long day.
We are all just in love with this sweet little girl - she has been a joy to foster. Look for even more to come about her soon!
