Guest shanesmom Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 We were devasted when we recently lost our greyhound Shane but knew we would adopt again. Our family just wasn't complete without a greyhound. We met Elton this weekend and just knew it was meant to be. He had just been returned to the kennel after 4 years in a home and we knew it had to be hard for him to lose the only family he ever knew. We decided to bring him home with us and now we are helping each other heal. He's a BIG lovable boy who has fit in perfectly. He's 6 years old and his last vet visit less than a year ago recorded him at 98.7 lbs. He's a really BIG boy. Now for the pics, since I know the rules. Elton Elton resting on a beautiful day. Elton and his new best friend, my brother's Boxer, Ruckus. Resting in his new forever home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MomtoMiniMe Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Ingrid, He's adorable. Does he have Molotov in him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shanesmom Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Ingrid, He's adorable. Does he have Molotov in him? No, he doesn't have Molotov in him. He does have HB's Commander. His racing name was Ms's Hyway Man. I don't know where Elton came from but he sure knows his name. Perhaps his former family named him that. He runs top speed toward anyone who calls his name always looking for affection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The love continues; therefore, the relationship continues. The work of grief is to reconcile and redeem life to a different love relationship. ~ W Scott Lineberry Always Greyhounds Home Boarding and Greyhounds With Love House Sitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
