Bengal and Buddy

Bengal helps Buddy (one of the house hounds) celebrate his seventh birthday by chewing bones together. Bengal decided to stick out her tongue for the picture. Isn't that just like a nineteen month old little girl? Too cute!!!

Bengal and the Stairs

Bengal taught herself the ups and downs of stairs. Check out her agility in the pictures.

Welcome to Nashville!

This is only Day Number 3 in a Nashville foster home for this nineteen month old greyhound. Last night she slept soundly in her crate from 9:00 until 5:00. This is quite an accomplishment for a youngster that could still be with her siblings on a farm or other greyhounds at the track. Bengal has discovered that retirement is full of surprises, however. She loves her own reflection! We have found her looking at herself in the bathroom mirror. She also likes to stare at herself in the twelve wine glasses hanging upside down in the mirrored cabinet in the den. Bengal can stand there and admire herself for quite a while. Her dark brindle stripes are very symmetrical. I'm sure that she has noticed. Do you think that she wants to be called Narcissus?
