Hello All,

My husband & I submitted our application to adopt a greyhound today! We are so excited!

We have been petless for almost 2 years. Our dear kitty, Chloe (siamese mix), died in my arms in May 2007. Our dear dog, Emily (Border Collie mix) went to the rainbow bridge in September 2007. Both were 16 years old and the lights of our lives.

We swore we would never have another pet. My heart just could not bear that kind of grief again.

But, just in the past 2 months or so our hearts have opened back up to the possibilty.

And here we are!

We've researched and read and attended a meet & greet. Now we just want our fur-baby!

It's greyt to find a group like this. I look forward to chatting with you!

Thanks for the welcome.

No, we haven't selected yet. Our local greyhound organization will select our new pup for us. They conduct a home visit, then will do their best to match the personality / habits / demeanor of one of their fosters to us and our lifestyle. Our home visit will be in the next week or two.

Any advice you can give to a newbie is greatly appreciated!

Hi there from another WNY-er! Are you going thru BGA, GREAT or Gals? All are great and all have super events in the area. I have been to a few events from each and all the ppl are very nice. And since you are right down the "road" from it, you should check out grapehounds.com for a fun time in July!!!

Hi Lisa!

We're going with BGA. They have some good events and meet & greets. The people are all just wonderful. But I'm discovering that everyone in the 'cult' is super-nice.

Thanks for the info about grapehounds. I also heard about a picnic at Chestnut Ridge Park in July, I think. That sounded like fun.

Hi from Philly -

One thing about greyhounds - for my first I wanted a small female and not a tiger striped. (Brindle) and got a big brindle boy - swore he was gonna be an only child, did not want more than one - I live with four. Told them I was not gonna get all crazy like them - now I am crazier - I got lost somewhere under the Greyhound Spell and it is all good!!

Congrats on your first, and again, welcome

How exciting for you!! I so remember submitting the application to adopt our first GH 1 1/2 years ago. Now we have 2!
Greyhounds are awesome and it's great you've already found GT! You will love it here!!
And of course, when your new baby arrives, we'll need to see lots and lots of pictures! Those are the

around here!
