Then and now

Preadoption photos:

I thought Power looked very uncertain when I took him for a walk during the adoption fair in Camp Verde, AZ. The adoption group is named Greyhounds of the Verde Valley.  I remember thinking that Power wasn't the least bit willing to go with me and was not interested in being cute or friendly during our meeting. I had to tug a bit on the leash to get him to come with me on the walk.







It was a blisteringly hot day, and no one with any sense would want to be walking around in that heat!  Power was walking pretty well on his operated foot, so that was encouraging.He still didn't want to walk around with this stranger (me).

I think he's learned that it's safe to relax!

  1. Poor Power must have wondered what was happening to him, but now he knows you love him.

    My previous Grey took ages to come out of herself, but my girl now was happy as soon as I walked her she seemed to know she was mine and I was hers:)

  2. I'm sorry did I miss a post talking about Power's surgery? What did he have to have done? Guess it just takes time to adjust and feel comfortable. I'm sure he feels love from you and so he is starting to relax.

  3. There can be such a vast difference between the way the hound behaves at the adoption kennel and the way he behaves in his Forever Home. Truly was the quickest to reveal his sweet and goofy personality. Maggie took a bit longer. And Walker, well, Walker's personality continues to emerge - like a butterfly.
    Your Power is such a handsome boy. He seems to have made himself at home with you. :)

  4. I tell you, Greyhounds seem to bloom after they get in their forever homes. They're pretty bland when you first meet them.

  5. Power is such a sweet baby. I'm so glad, for both of you, that you chose him.

  6. He looks like he adapted pretty well! Bunny says that he's quite the handsome fellow, too! :)
