Arrival Story:
Lotte came to us as a foster dog (then called Reb) for Greyhound Welfare of New England. She was nervous, panted like crazy, and cried at night- just as you'd expect from a dog who had just left its life of routine to find itself in a strange place with stairs, cars, and only one other dog. Baby was great and slept with her nose pointed right at her! She was adopted the next weekend, and we were worried that Lotte would fall apart as the only dog. Quite the opposite! She surprised us with her playfulness and ability to handle new situations. Who could resist? Day by day she became a fascinating new part of our lives, until finally the decision was made, for which all the credit goes to her. We are truly lucky to have such a wonderful addition to the household.

Bio:
Lotte is a little tomboy who took an immediate liking to the dog bed and never wants to get up from it, even to eat. She seems to think that the phrase "get up" seems to mean "roll over on your back." Her coloring makes her look like she was lying on the floor when someone turned the auto-drip coffee maker on but forgot to add the pot. She even has little coffee freckles on her nose. She has her own webcam!

Forums Motto:
You said 'lie down,' right?

There is a new fence at the dog park. There are a lot of new dogs now and most of them smell ok. I can still run in circles but they have to be smaller circles and I have to dodge around the dogs that are standing around so I can keep running. Well maybe they're actually chasing me, but it seems like they're just standing around. Also it is very warm so I can only run around for a few minutes before I have to take a lie-down break.

My favorite new toy is the rope ball. I can pick it up with my teeth and throw it high into the air, and then it comes back down and I can pick it up again and throw it. That is the most fun ever. But not everyone fully appreciates this game. They say 'why are you doing that?' and I say 'what?' and they say 'you're supposed to wait for the people with hands to throw the ball for you and you go run and bring it back,' and I say 'whatever.' Hello, is that supposed to be more fun that sending rope entrails spinning around in the air? Didn't think so.

The ground is round and it's cold and fluffy. I can't smell the ground but I smell peanuts and my nose is cold and fluffy. Then I run and back and forth and my feet are cold and fluffy. Behind me is a cloud that is cold and fluffy.

I can run if I want to.
I can leave my friends behind.
Cause my friends are slow if they are slow
They're not grey-friends of mine.

See, I can go where I want to
I'm unleashed and you soon will find
That I'm a whole greyhound and when I run around
I can leave you far behind

I can run, I can run
Faster than you can think
I can run, I can run
And lie down in a blink.
I can run, I can run
Everybody look at your paws
I can run, I can run
Kitties retract your claws

Is it safe to pant, oh yes it's safe to pant.
Don't wait to pant, cause it's safe to pant.
Heh! It's safe to pant
Hah! It's safe to pant
Hee! It's so safe to pant
Heh! Do the safety pant
