Hello!! greenwave.gif

I am so happy to tell you all about my newest pack member, Leyla.


I was very lucky to have come across her in my neighborhood when her previous owner needed to move out of the country and couldn't take her. I tested her out before making it official and have been delighted with Leyla since day 1.

Here is a pic of my 2 girls hanging out on my bed:

The black dog is Daisy, my special needs cattle dog. She is a rescue from a high kill shelter in W VA. Leyla is helping her to overcome her fear of outside. Leyla loves it outside...she such a calm girl and thats great for the busy city streets!!
We also have Gomez, a 10 yr old rescued shihtzu:

They all love my bed!! colgate.gif inlove.gif

And a bit about me....I've had dogs all my life starting as a toddler when they put a puppy into bed with me....My first dog on my own as an adult was over 30 yrs ago( I'm old). I've raised many puppies and also taken in several rescues that stayed with me until their old age. Leyla is my first greyhound and I'm sure will not be my last. I'm learning much reading here and other boards about GHs in general. I started my own dog care service 13 yrs ago and am very busy with all my clients every day of the week. I try to not work on the weekends though. I do a lot of dog walking, boarding, puppy training and problem solving, consulting.

To me...They are dogs first, greyhounds second...so to me, she's a dog who happens to be a retired racing greyhound. I noticed that Leyla plays a lot with an open mouth on the back of Daisy's neck.....I'm working with her to stop doing this as I don't think that it is best for their play to include this behavior. I take them to my local dog park regularly...Leyla Loves this!! She runs, visits and plays well.

I hope to become a regular poster to your community. Great community that you've got here!!! clap.gif

Thanks for the warm welcome!!

FYI- I did officially adopt Leyla through NGAP in Phila. Her previous owner loves getting my updates about his sweet girl, he's heart broken that he had to leave and give her up. But it was my good fortune because Leyla is a greyt Hound!! colgate.gif

If I can find time, I'd love to get her into being a therapy dog ...she's got a very Zen like quality to her.

WELCOME to you and the kids.
Hope to see a lot more posts from you.
Sounds like a greyt life for all of you and especially since you are in my previous home state of NY.
You aren't in Brooklyn (Flatbush) by chance are you?

Hi Judy!

UESBrindle (Elizabeth, Rob, and William) here. So glad you joined the board! We're on the Upper East side, near Carl Schurz Park. We brought home William home in February from GAA, so he's new to the city too. Maybe we can set up a date to have our pups meet up now that the weather is starting to get nice here! The rest of your pups are super cute too!

If you meet in Central Park, Aquitaine wants to come too!!! She REALLY likes William (he's super cute). We are on the UWS.

Where are you on/near Grammercy Park? One of my closest friends lives on Grammercy Park South so I will be sure to look for your pups when I am down there.

Welcome. Welcome. Welcome.
