Getting Settled In

     Ari (Aristides) has been with us 6 days now.  He is settling in nicely.  He and Tessa, our greyhound, are becoming friends, they have been working out who is the boss of what.  Tessa has shared her toys without any argument and Ari loves toys. He loves to make the squeaker toys squeak and he tosses toys in the air and then tries to catch them.  If you throw toys for him he will run and grab them and take them back to his bed and play with them.
     Ari loves going for walks.  He has good leash manners.  He and Tessa take the same pace when walking and sometimes try to play while on the leash.  Both Ari and Tessa love the snow and don't want to turn around to come back when I walk them, I am thinking they would have very cold feet and want to get back into the warm house!  As always, wishing I had a fenced yard, I think they would both have a great time rolling around in the snow.
     Zoomies, oh my, Ari gets the zoomies at least once a day. He is so funny running circles in the living room and tossing toys around. Tessa can't figure out what the heck is going on.  They rest of the day is spent snoozing to recover from all the energy he used up zooming around!  Typical greyhound, sleeping most of the day away.
