Fostering Carcacha

01/12/12, Carcacha came home with my husband and I last Sunday afternoon.  We had been told at the kennel that she had been there since October 2011, so we assumed we had a lot of training to do.  But, being a greyhound, she surprised us in many ways.  She mastered going up and down stairs in a matter of two/three days.  The first two nights, one of us slept downstairs close to her crate.  After a few minutes each night, she stopped whining and slept until we got up.  Since then, she has slept in our room in a small enclosure and she settles down almost immediately.  She does have lots of energy and gets under foot easily, so I take her for walks frequently.  She shows almost no interest in her kongs just yet, but does like the occasional milk bone.   After just a few days here with us, we are amazed at how quickly she will lay down on her bed when we come into the room.  She's a very sweet little girl.
