Guest Honeyhound Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hi All, I'm Maggie and we adopted Honey back in January. We live in S.W. Scotland and I am happily married to Brian and have two boys, Fraser is 14 and has ADHD, Callum is 10 and has Crohn's Disease. Honey is our very first grey and we are totally besotted with her , she has such a sweet nature and getting her was the best thing we have ever done. Last year I suffered badly with depression and gave up a job I loved to juggle appointments for the boys. I became very withdrawn and slept lots I suggested to my hubby that we get a dog and he agreed. Being the responsible person I am, having a dog would force me to get out and about again. I had thought about a lurcher, my Aunt told be about the local Greyhound Rescue Group and the rest as they say is history. My depression is getting better and Honey has played a major role in that, I'm now obsessed by greys and everything to do with them. I'd like to get another grey as a companion for Honey by the end of the year, Obsessed - Yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tenderhearts Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Welcome to GT! :wave :wave Honey is a beauty, and I LOVE her collar! It sounds like your life is full and not without challenges. I am SO glad Honey has helped you come out of your depression. I have had some health problems the past few years, also battle chronic clinical depression, and my furkids have been so therapeutic! I have one greyhound and 5 mixed breed dogs! Can't wait to see more pictures of Honey and hear more about all the joy she has brought you!

MauCarden Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Welcome! I was going to say Honey is a stunner, than a saw the second pic and thought more of a stunning goof Two things people really love on Gt are toofer pics and collar discussions. We have some serious collar freaks here. I've always considered GH, at least my two and others I've been around, to be like giant worry beads. Just stroke them and you begin to feel better. Quote Missing my sweet girl Scout. My snuggler, my chow-hound, my kissy girl. It never thunders at the Bridge, and your food bowl is ALWAYS filled. So strange not living in Atty World. I was a love struck handmaiden to your every whim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good one! Hi, and welcome to GT! You do have a full plate, don't you! GT will soon become another part of your obsession with greyhounds, if you follow the usual pattern.

Guest ellieb Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Welcome from Ohio! You will find lots of wonderful advice and companionship on this board. It is addictive...just like the hounds! I would love to visit Scotland someday. It seems like a beautiful place. For now, I will have to be content with reading Diana Gabaldon novels and listening to my bagpipe CD. My daughter is named Taylor MacKenzie after James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser...a Gabaldon character. She goes by Kenzie, now. Honey is a beauty!

Hawthorn Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 from Hertfordshire Honey is such a beautiful colour. I agree, greyhounds are the best therapy there is Quote When a relationship of love is disrupted, the relationship does not cease. 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...
