Guest hockeygoonie Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Hi, we are from South Williamsport PA and the DH has finally said yes to a greyhound! My daughter and I have been haunting m & g in our area for almost 2 years. On her 8th birthday we sent her and her friends on a scavenger hunt. Each clue they found was a number which corresponded to a letter in the alphabet. It eventually spelled FATHER. Daddy handed her the present which had a piece of paper attached to it that said "Daddy said yes!" In side was a matching martingale and leash from Trendy Hounds. That was Sept. 9th and I am pretty sure the smile has not come off of her face. My name is Mindy and I am currently in my last year of nursing school(RN) after being an athletic trainer in a local high school for 12 years. My husband Stan is now the athletic trainer at the same school. My daughter Ally saved all $200 of the adoption fee by herself and she has a crazy 5 year old brother named Connor. We have a 12 year old kitty named Tweeter who will have some adjusting to do when we get our new guy Fred in October. We are absolutely thrilled to be finally getting our grey and would love to share his handsome photo with you ( I know I will get "yelled" at for pics if I don't post them!). I have been visiting this site for some time now and am impressed with the funny, compassionate, and supportive comments I read here. I am excited about joining your family. I may have introduced myself before, but my memory cells are limited at this point from all of the studying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SkinnyLegDogLover Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Welcome! Your daughter is quite a girl to save the adoption fee herself, and what a cool way to break the good news! I hope you all have lots of fun with Fred, can't wait to hear more about him and see more pics. He's very handsome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and your family will make Greyt members to Fred's life. At the meet & greets, public functions and "private visits" with us, you and your kids have what it takes to bring happiness to this deserving pup's life. Yeah, the wait will be rough, but know that we are here to make the time fly by quickly. Welcome to the Nittany Family too. You make good cookies for the doggies, keep it up......

Guest hamiesmom Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 A big, warm hello from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. "Fred" is a gorgeous looking boy. Your family will enjoy him very much. Kudos to your daughter for saving the money for his adoption fee. We have a 9yr old greyhound and a 10yr old cat, who tolerate one another, however, the cat does rule the house.

Jiffer Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Welcome to you, your family and Fred!!! I bet your daughter is totally psyched! I had to wait until I was 15 before my parents let me get our first dog. She sounds like a very responsible gal.

Guest hockeygoonie Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I was so excited to receive so many warm hellos from everyone! I lived in Germany for five years as a high school student( dad in Air Force) so hello to my German friend. Someone mentioned my screen name and it is for my favorite sport and all time favorite movie! Is there really another movie as great as "Goonies?" And how cool is it that someone here has met my new boy to be Fred!?! We can not wait to get him, but arranging transport might make the wait until late October. I would love to hear more about him if the one who volunteers at his shelter would like to tell me about him. I forgot to write down your screenname. Thanks again for all the warm welcomes and I can't wait to get to know everyone! And here is a picture of my little money saver, Ally and her crazy brother Connor!

Guest onlymrsp Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 We finally found that picture that I was looking for. Ally was there with her mom & brother attending our Nittany Pet Fair. She asked to walk my puppers and here is proof positive of that smile her mom wrote about: So, what do ya think? Next generation Grey-Aholic?????
