HI
from Jacksonville! -
Hi there and Welcome to GT from Jacksonville!
-
He's a gorgeous boy!
Is this a "foster" with intent? 
Yep. We wanted to make sure he wasn't a cat eater, and also to make sure he fit in with the girls. I wasn't looking for the type of fit that he had in mind! Right now, Mimi is NOT a happy camper. She is very routine and her applecart is definitely upset. Mimosa is doing fine, except for when he came over to investigate HIS new bed that she was sleeping in!

Today we picked up our new "foster" boy, Bam Bam (racing name Deco Barnett). He was a B&J Racer that broke his hock and retired. He turned 2 on November 11th. He met his new sisters, Mimosa and Mimi today and he REALLY likes Mimi, and not in a sisterly way! He was just neutered on Tuesday, so things have been very interesting around here! DD, Allison, age 8, got a lesson in Dog Breeding 101 today. Hopefully those hormones will disappear soon and they can get along like siblings.
I was worried how he would be with the cats (I have 3 boys), but they are all pretty fearless around dogs and walked right up to him. We had him muzzled for about an hour around them, but he showed no cat-eating tendencies, so that part is great!
Here he is at the farm
He's a leaner
The first walk with all 3. Mimi on left, Bam Bam in middle, Mimosa on right. He makes the girls look so small, and Mimi is a big girl at 72 pounds!
Hi Mama Caffie! I'm home!

Godspeed sweet Skipper

Welcome! I love the name!

That must've been overseas. Mine were $7 or $8 each to ship, and one was cross country.

Beautiful girls!
Welcome to Greytalk! -
Glad Bitsy liked the gifts! The collar looks great on her. I hope it coordinates with her harness!

I know how you feel.

OH no! I'm so sorry. All hail the Queen in heaven.

Prayers for Riley! How is he today?

I got a package today. It is a little white package from Northcoast Greyhounds (that's what Mom said). She's making me wait until CHRISTMAS to open it!!! Can you believe it?? Hmmph! No Fair!!! She said it's a special gift that needs to wait until Christmas, so I don't ruin it before then!
What's really not fair is that when she thought I wasn't looking she PEEKED at it and she knows what it is!!!! Such injustice!
But anyway, thank you Aerosmom, Aero, Kanga Roo and Cricket, for the very nice box......

Mimi is camera shy, so I have not been able to get a picture of her in this STUNNING collar! But I wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you!
We adopted Mimi on December 11th of last year, so she did not have a Christmas collar. Mimosa had gotten nancyb's gorgeous Christmas Wreaths collar, and I was hoping for a nancyb collar for Mimi! I will post a picture of Mimi in the collar as soon as I can. Thank you again!
Here is the collar (green):

I'm sorry. We lost Buckwheat last year at about 12 years of age. He went into heart failure, so he went pretty quickly and we didn't have to deal with the incontinence and lameness issues. He ate breakfast the day he died. But we noticed the gradual decline the last couple of years -- he got more neurotic, possessive, hearing loss, and stiffer in the joints. It just sucks knowing they don't live forever.

Dear SS, I'm sure Mimosa will be happy with whatever is in her stocking, except for coal. She has been a relatively good girl this year. Please ignore the time she got into the bag that contained used cat litter that mom forgot to take to the garbage (ewwww), and the 4329 tissues and paper towels that she tore up this year after she stole them out of the garbage. She is also an equal opportunity stuffie collector, and likes to take hers, as well as DD's stuffies and dismember them. I'll do my best to answer your questions.
Is it cold enough at night for Mimosa to wear Pajamas or a coat?
It is pretty warm here in Florida, but we get our share of cold. Mimosa has a "hoodie" (not really a hoodie, because there is no hood. Mimi's has a hood. Mimosa's has a turtleneck. It's a fleece "jacket" in Florida Gators (we are die hard Gators fans!) orange and blue that keeps her warm when it gets down to the 40s. Much colder than that it doesn't do much good. Mimosa has pajamas in fleece, BUT they don't fit her well. They have long sleeves and are too tight in the shoulders, so she doesn't like them. I recently got Mimi a pair of Cottage Hound Designs flannel jammies in an auction and they are so nice! They are lighter weight than the fleece, and I think will be more comfortable than the fleece, since they are more like a "nightgown" than a jacket. It hasn't been cold enough here for her to wear them yet. Mimosa would LOVE a pair of those! They are the 2 leg type. (there is a cute pattern that is lavender/purple with monkeys on it...)But they have to fit BIG!
What is Mimosas favorite snack? Mimosa is a little picky with her kibble, but hasn't turned down a snack yet. She doesn't do well with rawhides. She loves any kind of biscuit.
What colors does Mimosa prefer? She hasn't said, but I think she looks great in pink and purple. Gator Orange and Blue are always appropriate as well.
If Mimosa was stranded on an island, what 3 things would she want to have? Her bed, her food, and her mom!
Does Mimosa need a collar? Does she prefer jewelery? Does she NEED a collar? Define need. Mimosa has a Christmas collar (compliments of last year's SS). She also has collars for Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween, a spring collar that is green with white dots, a yellow hibiscus collar, and a Lupine collar that she came home in. I might be forgetting some others. The only collar that I consider a need that she doesn't have is a Gator collar! And no, she doesn't like jewelry.
What color does Mimosa like least? Yellow doesn't seem to be her color. She also doesn't like colors of opposing college teams. So please, no FSU Crimson and Gold, yucky Tennessee orange (it's a wimpy shade of orange), or Georgia black and red.
What is her style? Is she more girly-girl, diva, sporty, or tom-boy? Girly girl. She does look sporty in her Gator garb though!
Does Mimosa have a nick name? Mimosa's racing name is Mimosa Grove. Her nickname is Mosa Grove or we often call her Mimosa Grove. If she were human, she would be a Mary Beth or something else with 2 names.
If Mimosa travelled around the world, what would be her favorite vacation spot? Somewhere with a 5 star hotel and a dog park.
Can you post a favorite picture of Mimosa?
A favorite picture? There are too many!
Here's my latest favorite. She did NOT want her picture taken to show off her new Turkey collar
So you can get an idea of what all of her looks like
Silly girl
And my favorite pic of my 2 girls, Mimi and Mimosa (Mimi has her own SS this year)
Sincerely,
Mimosasmom

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's especially hard when you go thru the same disease again. Run Free, Baby

Oh NO! I'm so sorry

Seeing all these posts about wanting something "local" got me thinking about what local thing I could add to my SS gifts... I asked DH and he suggested one of those cheap Washington Monument or White House metal or plastic things sold by at all of the tourist shops. I really doubt anyone wants one of those. Honestly, other than the touristy crap I can't think of anything "local" that someone would really want from Washington, DC.
touristy stuff is good too! I personally would love to get stuff from DC -- pen, snowglobe, ornament, heck -- even a postcard depicting national monuments or other items from our nation's history would be great!
Also, you could see if there are stores that are popular in your area that are not in your recipient's area. For instance, we don't have Tim Horton's coffee here. I've never tried it. It would be great to get a sample....

Mimi would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to have a certain Christmas collar from NancyB. It's called Festive Trees (green). OK so Mimi really doesn't care, but her Mom would love to see her in that one!
Mimosa has NancyB's Wreaths collar that her SS chose for her last year and it looks stunning on her.
Both Mimi and Mimosa love cookies and stuffies. ( I hate any stuffie that giggles.)
I'm a little weirded out over pizzle sticks and still haven't given them last years' pizzley gift....
I'm with Doofbert, I like to get things from the sender's hometown. Last year we got some great cookies from a local dog bakery. They got 8 paws up!
Notepads and greyhoundy gifty stuff.
