My wife and I (and 3 kids) adopted our first Grey 5 weeks ago.

 

Zanier (Zanier Martinez) is a black male, ~78 lbs.

RB Silver Streak x Helles Belle

born 3/21/03 5 yrs old

3 weeks later we knew he needed someone to keep him company. We agreed to "foster" a return, Mysti. Yeah, right. She is our girl now.

 

Mysti (Nitro Mystique) is a shy little girl, ~64 lbs.

Oshkosh Slammer x Go Bon Lets Roll

born 7/16/03 5 yrs old

I am still absorbing every bit of knowledge I can, even after researching greyhounds for 2 weeks before we adopted. I ran across this site 2 days ago and havent stopped reading yet.

 

I have tried all kinds of food/treats after surfing here for the last couple days. Neither Grey likes bananas or marshmallows, and only Mysti likes turkey necks.

 

Thanks for a great forum to be a part of!

Ha ha...I know exactly how you feel! We had a foster that we just HAD to keep! That was six years ago and I don't regret a moment of it. Well, okay, that moment when I came downstairs to find he had wet poop all over the living room, steps and ceramic tiles...that moment I regret!

 

So welcome, welcome, welcome!

My dog is also your little girl's half brother! Of course good old Slammer is on ice and still busy "fathering" more pups! Welcome to Greytalk. There are several other Oshkosh Slammer dogs on here!

OMG! There's my Zanier!!! He's such a sweetheart!!! Please tell me he will be at the picnic Sunday!!!

 

(Oh...I'm Shannon. I do the meet and greets for For the Hounds at the Lauren's road petsmart on Sundays and Petco in Spartanburg on saturdays. I've spent a lot of time with Zanier!)

 

Oh...Zanier likes Old Mother Hubbard peanut butter treats. The tiny ones. (because then he can have more than one ;) ) I sneak them to the babies at M&Gs

Pictures...because you might be a picture nut like me too! And if not...with greys you will be!

It was nice meeting you and your husband.

I'm glad you had fun! For the Hounds is an awesome group full of greyt people. :) Our boys came home and passed out. Dillinger is a pretty, pretty boy! Give Zanier a hug for me. :)
