5/9/09 BULLITT GETS ADOPTED!!!

Yes your eyes are not deceiving you, Bullitt the super-boy has been adopted. The family will be gaining quite the wonderful boy. Good luck Bullitt, I enjoyed having you in my home. I am sure Olive will miss playing with you.

Bullitt visits his second meet-n-greet. Today we went to Petsmart in Joliet for the annual adoption day. Bullitt helped raise money and greyhound awareness. He continues to enjoy meeting kids and people. He met quite a few other doggies too. He has no issues with other breeds and likes them all the same. After about an hour and a half Bullitt was ready to take a break. I brought his bed so he could lay down. He even enjoyed the petting he received when he was laying down. He is such a sweet loving boy. Toys are a big hit and when he is outside he enjoys playing and chasing his goose around. The sun is another thing Bullitt loves. If you let him, he would love to sleep in the yard with the sun beaming down on him. After a 3 hour stint at the meet-n-greet, someone is ready for a long nap, see the picture above, this is what he did when we got home.

Today Bullet was taken to the local baseball fields. There are a group of 6 fields with little league teams playing. Kids, dogs people everywhere. People yelling, cheering, dogs barking. Bullet had NO problems. In fact, whenever little kids would walk by, Bullet wanted to walk up to them and get lovins. Bullet walks very nicely on leash, as I have said before. Today we had something of a breakthrough, he has shown consistency of eliminating on-leash now. That may not sound like much to people that don't have experience with greyhounds, but believe me, its a big deal. I cannot say enough about this guy. He is as easy as my first greyhound (not a simple task). He definitely is ready for his forever home. Another thing, I do not allow him on my furniture, even though my other dogs get on the sofa, Bullet doesn't even think about jumping up. Here is a photo of the boy playing with a toy, he does love the toys!

Bullitt (Bullet?) is coming along great. He has mastered stairs with no issues. He is housebroken, he is excellent on car rides (sleeps most of the time). This guy is one wonderful boy. He will make a family very happy. From the first day to now, he definitely has gained a lot of confidence and has no issues with home life. He doesn't appear to have any issues with food aggression, space aggression or sleep aggression.

Are you looking for a bullet-proof hound? This could be the one for you. I cant say enough about this boy. If you have any specific questions, post it here and I will respond.

Bullit is gaining experience and confidence with each passing day. He does love the stuffies and is GREAT on car rides.

He had his first bath as well as his first meet-n-greet. We went to "All things Woof" today to help CIGA raise funds. Bullitt was a hit. He loved meeting everyone, as well as all the dogs that came through. I would say he has no issues with small dogs, or any dogs for that matter. He met various dogs from a Giant Schnauzer to a whippet/iggie mix. He also met a small white thing (not sure what breed) that really didn't interest him all that much. The car ride was about 35 minutes each way and he simply lays in the back when you get moving. Every now and then he gets up and wants to put his nose out the window. No panting, whining or other problems.

Bullitt is going to be one great pet for someone. He is quickly learning lay down and does not rush through doors. He is really happy and also enjoys playing outside with the other grey as well as people. I got down on the ground and he was having a great time playing with me (see first photo above).

Bullitt has arrived and did very well on the 30 minute car ride to our house. He even layed down a few times. He didn't know if it was ok to put his nose out the window, but he definitely wanted to.

Bullitt is gaining confidence with each time up and down the stairs, both carpeted inside stairs as well as the wood deck stairs outside.

Bullitt and our two hounds enjoy the backyard. I think Bullitt has a crush on my little girl Olive. He follows her around the yard and will try to chase her when she runs around. He is getting stronger every day. He REALLY likes being outside. He is very affectionate with people outside, will hang with you, and if you sit on the ground, will playbow and bump you with his nose to play.

Inside Bullitt enjoys spending time in his crate. He does like the stuffies that make noise. Getting tummy rubs is a favorite thing for him. He is very loving. He met our kitties, when our bossy cat hissed at him, he sniffed the hissing kitty, and decided that it wasn't worth it and walked away.
