Guest mickey85 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) HI all. My name is Matt, and I'm a 10th grade English teacher from west-central Indiana, fresh out of the package - just finished my first year of teaching. Just bought a house with an acre of land (and finished completing my awesome sunburn putting in a 1/4 acre backyard fence). Before this, I went to Culver Military Academy for high school, and then to Butler University where I completed a middle/secondary English license (grades 5-12). On to the important stuff. Don't have any greys yet, but I did put in my application for the GPA in Indianapolis a couple weeks ago and am waiting to hear back from them. Currently though, I've got what most think to be a sighthound (whippet?) cross with a beagle...Her name is Delilah, but I didn't name her that, and frankly, it drives me nuts every time I mention the name, because invariably, the other person responds with "Hey there Delilah." ARGH! Anyway, here's a couple pics of my current pup...hopefully pics of a new grey will be coming soon! EDIT: aaand naturally, the photos won't work...let's try these: BTW, despite what she looks like in the 2nd picture, she's NOT beaten! That was during the family Christmas party, and there were very, very loud cousins and neices there...

Guest zoolaine Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hi Matt, welcome. I'm new myself - just got my first greyhound last week. Delilah is a doll, and sorry but I like the song so I would probably do the same thing. Good luck in finding your greyhound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddiesmom Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hi Matt and Deliah (sp?) Welcome from NC. I was just in Indy last week for work and could not get over that the sun does not set there til 945pm (it sets here at around 845-9) The last time I was in Indy was Dec and it was 20 degrees and snow on the ground (even if I am originally from MI and gre up in CT). Not much snow here. You will learn a lot about greys here on GT (and other stuff too). Quote Amy Human Mommy to fur baby Maddie (Doobiesaurus) TDI certified.

Guest mickey85 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thanks for the welcome guys. Still haven't heard back from them, but I'm still hopeful. Anyway, you all have been great (or greyt!) so far - I really appreciate it, and appreciate all that I'm reading in the posts on here.
