I just wanted to introduce our family and thank you all for the wonderful information these past few months! I'm Lori - my husband and I adopted Cecil (formerly Jiminy Cecil) from GAO in August this year. He's our first greyhound and while I did a ton of reading and research before we adopted, we still had lots of new questions once we brought him home. This forum has been an enormous help to us! I tend to over-analyze everything and judging by some of the topics and threads here, I'm not the only one! I don't think I've had a single question I couldn't get answered here. Greytalk is a tremendous resource.
Cecil is a handsome roman nosed boy who is even-tempered, smart, and a real pleaser (even compared to some G. Retrievers and Labs I know!). We couldn't be happier with him. We're currently enrolled in a Canine Good Citizen class and we're hoping to start doing Therapy Dog work next year. He loves to ride in the car and meet new people and see new places.
Cecil gained a brother, Ivan, when we adopted him. Ivan is a 15 year old G. Retriever Beagle mix with the happiest, most smiling face in the world. Don't let that fool you though, he can be a curmudgeon and clearly thinks he rules the roost. Cecil let's him think he's the boss and everyone gets along just fine. The tolerance they show each other is inspiring.
Thank you all! Here are a few pics of the furry family - I hope these show up - not exactly sure how this works, but if they don't I'll try again:
