Bingo has just arrived.

He seems a happy lad, full of beans, and was totally unphased and very polite when a strange dog ran up to him out of nowhere (hooray!).

He lay down on my bed within minutes of getting indoors so he obviously has an eye for comfort! Fortunately he got down again no bother and has settled on 'his' duvet on the floor. smile.gif

It's lovely seeing all the dogs differing personalities and little quirks; Bingo licks things! From people to mobile phones! confused.gif

Since there's not much else I can say about him yet, here is the gorgeous boy in full colour.

Sky and Bingo (They make a nice matching pair, don't they?!)

Glad Bingo is with you safe and sound. You do seem to have a very lovely pair of white & Black's! Looks like twins!  All the best - hope that things continue to be so lovely!

Bingo had a bath yesterday as he was a bit too fragrant.
He didn't enjoy it one little bit, but he was a good boy and just stood there till I'd finished. smile.gif

Housetraining is a work in progress, but he's been great overnight, so I'm sure it'll only be a day or two before he's reliable.

He's a nice lad and is responding well , but still seems a bit out of sorts with the whole living in a house thing. Everything is new and has to be investigated (and licked).

Here is his video debut -

Aww.  Nice video.  I think it is a great idea to promote foster dogs with video.  It gives you a tiny glimpse at their personality.
aww

aww Great video and I liked the music too.  Bingo is very sweet, Biscuit acts the same way if there's a drop of water on his head/face!  Bingo will feel all the better for his bath.  It must be so confusing living in a house, but he's a lucky boy and will show you his appreciation (by piddling outside!!!)biggrin

The music is by Travis and it's called Eyes Wide Open, from their soon to be released new album ( I am fortunate enough to have an advance copy - it's out next month though).
I figured tagging the video for the song too would get more traffic from Scottish folk. :)

Bingo and Sky certainly turn heads when walked together. Our walk this morning took ages because people kept stopping to admire him and ask all about greyhounds!

He is fantastic with other dogs too, even little ones and barky, stroppy ones. He's interested in saying hello and having a sniff, but he'll also walk straight on past if you don't stop. It's so nice not having other dog owners give us a wide berth!

He sounds just like Blue (different colour obviously) . If I though Blue would accept another male I would have him in a shot.  I don't think he will be with you long.heart.gif

Bingo is doing great. He's now housetrained and can be left at home with no issues. He's a lovely placid lad and becoming more affectionate by the day.

He and Sky are a right pair, they both share a love for furry toys and enjoy tussling over them. Here's some new photos of the two of them playing. Enjoy!

Hi Vicki

I'm not surprised you're turning heads in the street with such a handsome and striking pair of dogs! Bingo and Sky look great and it's wonderful people are stopping to ask you about them. Some of them may decide on a greyhound for themselves when they see how good Bingo and Sky are!

A little update on the lovely Bingo - he responds well to his name now and he can now lie down , give a paw, and jump up on command (for a biscuit).
We're working on 'sit' as he does do it himself on occasion.
He's less enthusiastic with 'away' and 'leave it' but he's improving. :)

Bingo sounds like a really nice dog, Vicki, and a really quick learner! You're doing a marvellous job with him!

Bingo has now gone off to his forever home. :)

I'm sure he'll bring his new family as much pleasure and love as he brought to mine during his stay.

Thats wonderful news for Bingo, but I guess you must be so sad, its so difficult to loose a foster dog.  Hope you take strength in knowing that you gave Bingo a brilliant start in the later stages of his life, I hope the new owners keep in touch xxx
