2greyhoundMINI

Took a couple tries to get that "nice shot"

Thank you all! Yeah, can tell these 2 are gonna keep us on our toes and active!

Well we went to our rescue yesterday and ended up coming home same day with these two! Amelia was born 9/10/17 She only ran 2 races. Carmen never ran. She was born 8/23/17 Both are doing pretty well for under 24 hours in their new home. Amelia gets a little upset when we leave but settles quickly. We haven't officially introduced them to the cats... one thing at a time. I think we are gonna have our hands full with these girls!!!!!!

I need to post pics but we came home with 2 girls!! I will put together a post in the Introduction section. 2 race fail girls LOL. They are both only 2! I got my hands full!

Haha! I knew I was in the right place

Is it bad I already replaced a travel bed AND bought new food bowl holders today???????

Hi Jeff! I used the form and uploaded a new pic for my avatar.

I'm late to this party... But my 2 cents is my 2 would bump while running around and go head over heels. Both would come out of it fine. So thats not a big deal. Just be mindful like others said about holes, etc in the field.

I am seriously busting with excitement!!!! Can it be the weekend yet??????

Sadly no... my rescue just got a truck in of hounds from Kansas. All I know is they said they have "2 girls in mind" for us. Saturday I will take pics for sure!!!!!!!

I have to say this week couldn't go any slower!!!!!!

Greyhounds Reach the Beach made DH and I realize how much we missed having greys in the house. It's quiet... SO QUIET. Too quiet. We talked about when to get another hound or 2... and we realized Sidney and June would be OK with us opening our hearts and home again to more hounds in need. Sooooooooo we are heading to our rescue this weekend to see if we can find a few more hounds to give a good home to... Fingers crossed we find some matches for us and them. Stay tuned!

At some point I will need to change mine... I haven't had a MINI in a number of years LOL

I'm so sorry. Run free sweet Algy. He's not suffering anymore. One of the hardest things and greatest things we can do as their humans.

Thank you to whomever was there yesterday and today that let my husband and I pet the crap outta your hounds. As I thought we were thrilled to see hounds everywhere and it made our hearts happy. So thank you everyone for the hound therapy.

Hurray!

FYI- since we will be houndless we just changed our reservation at the Atlantis Inn to a non dog room if anyone is interested in a reservation there.

I can’t wait to see her and catch up. Though it sucks right now having lost our babies this year I will forever be grateful she helped us get them.

One nice thing is I told a friend (who got us into greyhounds and introduced us to her rescue) about Sidney... She is going to come out to GRtB and have lunch with us. It's been forever since we saw her!

Thank you all.

I think that’s our mentality. Thank you.

Thank you all for the kind words.

I am sad to write we will be coming to GRtB without a greyhound... We just lost our boy Sidney last night. My husband and I decided we still want to come. I think it will be therapeutic for us seeing all the greys.

I am so sad to be writing and posting this... After 9 months Sidney finally lost the battle with Leukemia. He was the sweetest dog I have ever met. He was so gentile. He was in the rescue a full year longer due to being deemed "cat unsafe", but he was terrified of our 3 kitties. He let them swat at him and never even looked twice at them. He was so patient and laid back. He was a gentleman to our June and would let her push her way out the door first while he politely waited back. He even waited patiently for the cats to move out of the way if they were in front of his food bowls. He was beautiful... a perfect red brindle with the softest fur... like a bunny. People always commented on how soft his fur was. And he was so regal... always held his head up and looked proper. He had ears to die for... just big and alert. He loved the yard... he would run around doing zoomies with his buddy June when she was still alive. He would run to the fence and bark at the deer. He'd do crazy figure 8s. And he'd walk the perimeter like he was patrolling his turf. Then he'd lie down and roll around in the grass and just watch. Cancer is a total b*tch. It takes our loved ones without care or remorse. I wish we had so much more time with him, but sadly we do not. I cherish every moment we had. He will forever have a spot in my heart. The house is so quiet without any greyhounds...

I very sadly ask that you add my sweet boy Sidney to the September list We just lost him last night.
