Torie's first M&G

Torie and her foster-mate Annie went to their first M&G today! Now, most of our adoptables don't get to a M&G for 10-14 days after they arrive because of their vetting and recuperation. These girls won't be vetted til Monday and could come, but remember they were only 3 days off the track and everything in this new world was a little scary. She and Annie stayed close to each other.


Torie did well with people - her very very tucked tail gradually came up and actually wagged several times!! She met adults and kids and even a little toddler, and was OK with all of it.



Torie made it pretty clear, though, that she wasn't too keen on the other greyhounds coming up to her at this point. She spoke clearly in Doglish... no sniffing, no leaning, no touching. She is very comfortable with Annie - they even enter a crate together - so it may just be the new surroundings. With time, Torie will be out and exposed to lots of new things, and her wariness will hopefully improve.
