Hello from Michigan!

My boyfriend and I adopted our first greyhound almost 3 weeks ago. Reg name is TC's Hardrock, we call him Maverick. We really have come to love him in such a short time. This is my first dog, I've had horses and cats since I was a kid. My boyfriend has had GSD to Mini Doxies. It's really been nothing but fun seeing Maverick open up and become attached to us. We took him to his first horse show over the past weekend, he was a perfect gentleman, other than a bit of whining if he could see me but wasn't next to me.


So hello from all of us. And of course...pics of Maverick:

Thank you! Does anyone know how to resize pics so that I don't get such massive ones and the mods don't have to resize them?!
