Guest hvacman250 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest amazingreys Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 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!

GreytHoundPoet Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 (edited) 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!

Shannon, It was nice meeting you and your husband. Sunday (today) was a blast. We actually came home with 3 dogs, but He isnt staying. He was due for a home visit about 5 miles from our house this week,so we are going to do our first home visit. He and Zanier have the same fatheer, so thats kinda cool. He's Modesto Martinez aka Dillinger. And I havent found a treat Zanier doesnt like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
