Guest LydzKyd Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 He's finally home with us! Smokin Motor is a 7 yr. old male who was returned to our agency in March due to a change in the family's schedule. We think he's a perfect first greyhound so we brought him home today. Here he is on our brand new carpet: Here's more of a view of our new pride and joy: Right now he's flaked out having a nap. Sounds like a good idea to me. We think he'll fit in just fine at our house. :wub: :wub: :wub: His previous family called him Rio, which we like as a name. I think we'll keep it. Smokie has also been put up for consideration, but I thin Rio has the edge at the moment. We're so happy we just had to share the moment with you.

Guest LydzKyd Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Thanks to everyone for your good wishes. We're slowly getting to know each other. We went for a walk in the park this morning and met some of the neighborhood dogs. Lots of good sniffing and pee-mail opportunities. Will post more pictures in the future.
