Whiskey

Tell me a little bit about yourself.
Hello, I'm Whiskey and I live in Virginia (USA). I used to race in Florida, then in Alabama… but I wasn’t fast enough, so I was put into retirement at the age of two. In March 2016, I ran my last race and was taken to NGAP (National Greyhound Adoption Program) in Philadelphia. Shortly after, my mommy came for a visit and fell in love with me. I began my new life in June 2016!

How many humans/siblings do you have and long have you had them?
I have a mommy and a daddy… and a little orange kitty sister, named Nala.

Do you work? If so where/what do you do?
My mommy and I volunteer once a month, with a local greyhound rescue. We meet meet people and talk about greyt greyhounds are. Everyone who meets me falls in love!

If you could choose your name what would it be?
I like my name! My racing name is, Whiskey Chase, but mom calls me Whiskey. Sometimes she calls me “farthound” too… wonder why?! heheee

What is your favourite food?
I love cookies, especially soft Milkbones

Where is your favourite place to be?
On the sofa, for sure! Mommy bought me several beds... but I think it is rude to ignore the sofa. I also love mommy’s car! We go for car rides all the time

What is your favourite way to entertain yourself (annoy your humans)?
I don’t really like toys… so usually I just follow mommy and daddy around the house and stick my nose in anything and everything they are eating! I always put my ears up to look extra cute, so they fall for it and share.

What is your greatest accomplishment?
Finding my new home! And learning some new tricks, like laying down and waiting by the door for walks! Mommy paid a lot of money to have a dog trainer come teach me… but I decided to only learn these two things.

What is your next goal in life?
I want to be more brave, because I am terrified of my kitty sister, Nala. She scares me and chases me down the stairs. And sometimes she plays with my tail when I am sleeping… Sometimes I even pretend to be sleeping so she leaves me alone. One day we are going to be friends and I won’t be afraid anymore :)

If you could be/do anything for a day, what would it be?
I would run around in the biggest field I could find! The dog park is fun, but it isn’t big enough for me to run at full speed L Mommy said I am not allowed to be off my leash, because I don’t listen.

Finally and most importantly...What was your human’s most embarrassing moment?
One day my mommy was picking up my poops, and there was a hole in the bag. Needless to say, she may have had a hand covered in poops. She also had to walk all the way home being stinky... she wasn’t even mad, She just laughed the whole way home and wore a poop bag as a glove :) hahaha
