Guest Gert Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hi, from Florida! I'm fairly new to the site myself, and I don't currently have a grey (will be adopting soon, though)....so, no advice from me. But, I did want to welcome you and let you know that this group will demand pictures of Cindy.....apparently, it's in the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AaronsMom Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Welcome from Delaware! Congrats! I just adopted my first greyhound (have had many dogs in the past) March 1st. My biggest pointer - spend some time on this forum, search through old posts, you can really get lost in the information! I started with only greyhound related - first behavioral, then medical, etc, and now try and monitor the site once every day when possible. (And now even monitor the fun stuff too!). Don't be afraid to ask any question - if you can think of an easy search term, try the search function as well and you might find your answer in a previous post. Have fun with the forum!

GeorgeofNE Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I am new to the site and adopted my brindle girl Cindy three weeks ago. I live in the Chicagoland area. Does anybody have helpful pointers for a newbie? I do! I do!!! Even if you don't think you need to, buy and read the Patricia McConnell booklet, "I'll be home soon." This deals with preventing and curing separation anxiety issues. That's the #1 tip I wish I had gotten before I adopted my boy! Welcome! Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav.
