Journey works the crowd

Some scenes from an upcoming Ben Stiller movie are being filmed in our neighborhood this week, so last night on our walk we (Journey, Finn, my son and me) headed on over to the "set". The film crew had a group of about 20 neighbors huddled together on a driveway from where we could watch Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn film an outside scene. There was a LOT of waiting in-between takes and long periods of "quiet on the set". Journey was amazing in this setting. He was totally calm and just meandered through the group of people, introducing himself and familiarizing himself with all the sights and smells. Journey and Finn received lots of affection and stroking and never tired of the attention. People really liked Journey and wanted to know if he was a rescue from the tracks. Many people commented on how sweet and calm he was. I heard more than one person say, "I thought they [racing greyhounds] would be hyper." This is probably a fairly common misconception. We spent nearly an hour in this group of people, before we continued on our walk, without incident. I think Journey is going to make a great family dog.

If you read yesterday's post, thought you might like to see Journey enjoying his kong in his crate. This was an afternoon treat while I needed him to be in his crate so I could be free to do house cleaning.



This next video was taken just after Finn and Journey had some outside time and were playing in the front room while I typed this nearby. Journey really wants Finn to play with him!
