If a marketing campaign can work for our new president, why not steal it and use it yourself?
This is not a political endorsement. Beau and Belle did not vote in the election.

Skiddy - skid-ee - adj. - tending to skid or cause skidding
Wigwam - wig-wom - noun - an American Indian dwelling, usually of rounded or oval shape, formed of poles overlaid with bark, mats, or skins.
Meet Skiddy Wigwam, our new foster. We welcomed her into our home last Tuesday and have been busy acclimating this little Princess ever since.
The first night was just like any other first night for a Greyhound. Lots of exploration, sniffing, pacing, confusion and extreme hunger. She's adjusted nicely and is about 95% housebroken. She's ready to be adopted!
Belle has taken quite a liking to having Skiddy around. They have been cuddle buddies since the first day Skiddy arrived. They've been partners in crime prancing around the house with their toys and frolicking in the back yard.
She's really been a loving snuggler since she arrived. She has a very sweet personality, and also very headstrong. She is very bright, and will make someone a happy hound owner.
Unfortunately for her, she arrived during some frigid cold temperatures here in central Virginia. Saturday morning I snapped a picture of the whopping 0.7F degree temperatures! Ouch!
But not to be outdone, Belle and Beau are still our little buddies who we love dearly. Beau likes to hide in his new comforter. He thinks it makes him invisible. Can you find him in this picture?
And Mrs. Belle, as cute as ever, sleeping with her tongue out of her mouth yet again. We surmise that she's dreaming about dog treats and rawhide bones.
Nothing exciting going on in our house of late. We've been getting back in the daily grind after some short work weeks and well needed time off.
Belle and Beau are as loving and entertaining as ever.
Belle is really starting to adapt to our life and daily schedule. In the last few days she has been out of her crate all day for the first time. Her stomach and digestive track weren't really cooperating with us before. Now she seems to be more regular and it has allowed us to give her some more trust and freedom. So far this week she has only shredded a few stuffed animals and hauled a pillow from our library to the living room. She's been a good girl thus far! ::knock on wood::
We still haven't made a decision on when she'll get her hernia repaired. The vet indicated that she wasn't in any immediate danger, but we'd still like to get it repaired for her comfort in the long run.
Mr. Fatso is no longer worthy of his title. Beau has dropped a few pounds and is looking much better. He's slim and sexy! We think he may have some mild arthritis or lasting injuries from the track that may inhibit his mobility at times. Other than that, he's doing great and definitely Iva's little buddy.
Both of the hounds are learning what is expected of them at home. They are learning my key words and hand gestures for things like going outside, going upstairs for bed, and remaining calm during feeding time. They've made great improvements in all areas in the last month or so.
At the last GPA walk at Stony Point Fashion Park both dogs were very tense and not responding well to me on the leash. In recent weeks I have been working with them on their manners and remaining behind me while on the walk. There is still a lot to be learned, especially when it pertains to seeing other dogs on our walks. However, they are completely different dogs from the first week when Belle came off the hauler with a bundle of energy.
There is another walk coming up this weekend, and I am considering taking Beau to see how he does this time around. Belle doesn't have a coat yet and she gets a bit chilly after more than 20-30 minutes in the cold.
We're also preparing for the arrival of our first foster. She will arrive sometime in the next two weeks, so we'll be sure to document our experience on the blog as well.

It's a game of tag in blogger land, and I'm it. I was tagged by Alex at Hope and Greyz.
The rules are as follows: Pick the 6th picture in your 6th photo folder and then give a brief description.
The picture is from 2001 when I bought my pride and joy at the time: a 2001 BMW 325i. My dad and I traveled to South Carolina to pick up the car at the BMW factory. Pictured is my father sitting in a very ugly, but very fast, BMW M Coupe. This car has 333hp and can move like lightening. We had to drive this car from the driving course to the main factory.
I remember our guide, who took the silver M Coupe in the background, had a lead foot. She peeled out of the parking lot leaving my dad and I behind. Now, keep in mind we're supposed to be following her and there is a public road she pulled out on to. BMWs are famous for their short throw transmissions, so my dad took a second or two to get this beast into gear. Once we did we hit 60 in about two seconds and quickly caught up to her.
It was a fun weekend, fully paid for by BMW. If you are ever in the market for one, make sure you ask about their performance delivery option. It's completely free and is a great time.
So now I am supposed to tag six other blogs. I choose:
