tamara3462 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 My DF Bryan and I adopted Elena in the beginning of October. After we had her about 6 weeks, we realized she had some mild separation anxiety (or at least didn't like being alone while we worked all day). We decided to foster to see if that made her feel better. We got our first foster in the beginning of December, and immediately Elena was happier. Although we didn't keep that first foster, we decided to keep fostering with intent. It was a tough time - with 5 crazy cats and a picky greyhound (we wanted another female, she did NOT agree) it wasn't easy to find a match, but we decided to keep Dynamo !!! His only real issue has been an occasional inclination to chase kitties, but we have made great strides on that. We celebrated his 6th birthday on Tuesday, and signed the adoption papers today! Check out this boy's race record, looks like about 7 stakes wins. And he raced through the end of 2006, so he had many more races that aren't listed here. Here are some pics of the new boy: Looking regal Running with his toy Standing with Elena (he is a big boy!) With Elena "hugging" him Trotting with his ball He loves his ball But he tires of playing quickly. Look at that tongue I haven't gotten a picture yet, but he definitely suffers from ETS Quote Tamara with Aragorn the crazy cat, Fawkes the OTTB, and always missing Elena (Rapido Elena - Rapido Ebony x Quiet Traveler 9/11/02-11/14/12) and Dynamo (Dotties Dynamo - Gable Dodge x Geez Darla 3/27/2001-7/21/2012). I hope doggie heaven is paved with peanut butter and the bunnies are slow. Run free and happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
