Guest Amy_and_Mark Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Introducing the as yet unnamed, most beautiful doggie ever (maybe we are biased): We cannot take her home until after she is spayed, as per the agreement with the adoption org. She's a very happy girl, pretty recent from the track and still in racing form. I came close to adopting about 6 of them, but for now I am trying to be responsible and add them 1 at a time . We'll surely be regulars here now, and we just wanted to get the introductions overwith. More pics to come once she gets home, probably September 5th.

Guest smarthound Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) Congratulations! You'll find lots of good information here about how to introduce your new greyhound to family life. You may also want to pick up a couple of books and do some reading while you are waiting for your new addition. Here are a couple of good ones: Adopting the Racing Greyhound by Cynthia Branigan Retired Racing Greyhounds for Dummies by Lee Livingood and, if you have children Living with Kids and Dogs...Without Losing Your Mind by Colleen Pelar And, yes, it's hard to have just one ETA: We just adopted number 4.

I think she's sure happy to have found you! Oh my goodness- Lola is seriously in our top three for names right now! Isn't that weird? The contenders for name right now are Lola, Bella, or Jetta. But the list keeps getting bigger instead of smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Amy_and_Mark Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Congratulations....she's a beauty...I may be biased too as she looks rather like my girl Wow- she's very similar! So we are getting her on the morning of the 5th. We visited her on Saturday AND Sunday. She has been spayed, and she recovered with no issues. They cleaned her teeth while she was under- now her smile is electric! I walked her while there was some thunder outside, and she luckily has no issues with that. At the adoption office, they have an assortment of toys and gadgets, and while we were shopping we let the dog (still unnamed) look at some toys. I was about to give up (because she was totally disinterested) when I tried the squeaker in a big Buffalo Stuffy. The head squeaker sounds just like the squawker thingy they use to make the dogs congregate, and she goes nuts for the squawker. When she heard the Buffalo, she was beside herself! She promptly claimed it as hers by slobbering on it and killing it. So she has her first favorite toy now too! Amy picked out a collar for her- its dark brown with pink paw-prints on it. So now she is sufficiently girlied up. How do we wait until the 5th? I want her now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
