Unnecessary dog shopping with Kiltedpadre

So, Mrs Padre and I have been planning to foster for the rescue group where we found Ruby. The plan was to foster a few dogs and eventually find a second dog to add to our home.

They haven’t needed us yet, and I have no idea when/if they might. They’re fortunate to have had a pretty robust network of fosters, and with so many people home right now some are even taking in multiple foster dogs.

My wife just spotted this girl featured on their Facebook page.

I won’t lie; I was hoping to find a big, brawny, goofy male. Her bio ticks all the other important boxes though: gentle, loves walks, good on a leash, good with cats, and snuggly.

Ruby is fantastic in almost every way, but she is not a snuggler.

We may have to check in with the head of the group and see how they’re handling meetings in all this mess.

I see nothing unnecessary  about this

Then we need to start shopping for all the other things we’d need with a second greyhound. You know things like a collar, leash, bowls, a love seat since one couch won’t be enough, a king size bed, and a bigger car.

I’m ok with these issues.

We are picking up our rescue whippet/Labrador tomorrow--best of luck with Honshu, heard those are really sweet dogs.

We got Ruby last year who is also a retired racing greyhound , and she’s amazing.

Heck, my wife was a definite cat person and only agreed to get her on my behalf, and she’s pushing harder for a second greyhound than I am.
