Colton Settles In

Colton has been with us for over a week now. He has settled in nicely. He was a little ragged when we got him. His coat is now getting a nice shine to it and he looks better every day.
He is learning to walk on a leash instead of pulling. He did not like stairs when he first came but now he is a pro. Last night he was so funny. He doesn't walk up stairs, he "bounds". He takes 3 or 4 stairs at a time and his legs "flail" as he runs up. He reminds me of Marmaduke, he is all legs. He is also my shadow, he follows me everywhere and will bump into me when I stop. He also a leaner. He leans up against me when I put his leash on him, letting me know he wants to go out.
Colton gets along very well with Abby. She has let him know she is the boss and he stands back like a gentleman and lets her have her way. He ignores the kitties except when they get fed, then he wants to help them eat their food. He has a love affair with his food, I wish Abby would eat like him!
Yesterday I had him outside and was talking to a neighbor. Colt walked around my neighbor wrapping his leash around him. I walked around my neighbor to untangle him but Colt decide to follow me so we went round and round my neighbor until I finally had to drop the leash and unwrap it from my neighbor. It was very funny!
Colton is a beautiful stunning greyhound who will make a wonderful pet for his forever family. Everyone remarks on how beautiful he is. His natural white collar impresses everyone.

He should be fun to clicker train with that zest for food! See you in class.
