This is Urban 30 minutes after he arrived at my house! No pacing, no panting, just "where's the couch, lady?!?!?"

Smokey is LAZY!!! This is how much fun he is on a Friday night!!

So, please ignore me looking like a slug. But this is the famous Skiddy Urban. He is a snuggler and a lover - and obviously learned the joys of the couch on his way to me! For those of you who have been following his story, this is one special hound. He came to me because his new mommy has 3 cats and they wanted to make sure he was not interested in them. Well, he was!!! But, for 2 days my cats Butler and Chloe gave him a full frontal assault of the cat world and with a little bit of correction, he totally ignores them now. It's not to say that in the mornings when he's feeling frisky he doesn't run up to Butler with his tail wagging and gives him a good sniff! If I were looking to adopt a second hound, Urban would be the one. But with Smokey, 3 cats, and the fact I foster for GPA and Hickory Hill, it's just not in the cards right now.

The beginning...

So, I've FINALLY started a blog - kinda like I finally got a DVR last month. The hope is to take you on Greyhound travels with my boy Smokey - as well as hounds we foster or babysit. And I will include the rescue group where I am a Board Member - Hickory Hill K-9 Rescue out of Ashland, Virginia. I'm at work, so the fun will begin when I get home and can start posting some pictures. The picture you see here is Smokey and my defiant male kitty, Butler. Butler is a Hurricane Katrina survivor - he was my one and only feline foster failure. He is a little runt - weighs all of about 6 lbs., but when I have a foster he refuses to give up any of his territory. Little does he know that he is the greatest cat tester in the world! For those who have been following the journey of Skiddy Urban, he is at my house until his adoption this Friday - yay!!!!!! And oh do we love him! If we were going to adopt another hound, hands down he would be the one! He needed a couple of days to learn that the kitty cats are to be left alone, but now he is totally fine with them. I will be posting pictures very soon...
