A little about Duck and my dynasty...

Hey Y'all,

Around the track they called me Silent Shot but most all of my friends just call me Duck. I'm a retired racer from the South. You can tell I'm a racer, cause o' my stripes, see. I just came up north 'cause I heard there was real fine forever homes up this way. As a Southern Gentleman, I would normally refrain from offendin' the sensibilities o' folks I just done met but them other pups tell me I should go on and toot my own horn a little bit so's y'all could get to knowin' me better. Shucks, I aim to please, I reckon. 

I am one happy Greyhound. I'm always real excited to meet people. I just got to my foster home yesterday and they was all smiles at how I just wagged my tail and ran on over to meet all of 'em. They got 3 youngins. One of 'em is a 6 year old boy. That boy is pretty energetic and all, but it didn't make no nevermind to me. 
The other two are Young Ladies of 12 and 16 years. Foster Dad says I'd be good with kids of just about any age. I didn't wanna tell him, but I figured that was pretty obvious. 

I don't mind sleeping in my crate but I'm just as happy to lay down on a soft dog bed for a nap. Heck, I slept all night in a crate downstairs away from everyone and I didn't make a peep until I saw someone comin' down to let me out. Man, I was all kinds of happy to say Good Mornin'!

I walk pretty well on a leash. I could use a bit more trainin' up on it, but I don't reckon anyone would notice on account of how good I do already. Foster Dad and I are gonna keep workin' on it. I suppose he just wants to make sure I'll live up to his standards. 

I ain't had much call to play with toys yet, seein' as how I got in late yesterday, but that boy had a big ol' yeller ball that I was interested in. Maybe we'll get to play tonight! 

I also had occasion to lounge around the house and watch my first Raven's football game. If retirement means layin' on a soft bed and watchin' the TV on Sunday afternoons then I can't say I miss my racin' days. 

I reckon I've rambled on enough for today. I don't want people thinkin' I'm some sort of showoff. Just think on me a spell when y'all are considerin' on giving a Forever Home to one of us racers. I really do just wanna be loved and love in return. After seein' what Forever Homes are like, I can honestly say that racin' just ain't what it's quacked up to be.
