Guest Cricket Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hi there, and Happy New Year! I've visited GT from time to time and have always found this forum a wonderful source of information. Well, I've decided to de-lurk today, so here it goes. I moved to Virginia Beach 4 months ago with a beautiful brindle girl, Cupcake. She is 4 years old and has a lot of puppy in her. We both love, love, love the beach. It is a blessing to have my lively greyhound friend in my life. She came into my life through Greyhound Welfare in November of '07. We bonded right away because she likes to have a good time as much as I do. We have truly learned a lot from each other. For example, she has taught me that one can be both fashionable and warm. Anyone in Virginia Beach last night knows exactly what I am talking about. We were both bundled up, and as usual, Cupcake got many more complements on her coat than I did. Cupcake is a good girl. She enjoys zipping around in the current fashion, tossing squeaky stuffies, and she does an impressive "Leave it." Cupcake enjoys aromatherapy and looks forward to her nightly bedtime stories. Her New Year's Resolution is to eliminate counter surfing completely (as opposed to merely not getting caught counter surfing). Well, this is my intro. Hope it wasn't tmi. I am very happy to have found GT. Cricket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cricket Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) Thank you kindly for a greyt welcome! Ya'all are a friendly bunch. Pictures forthcoming as soon as I locate the camera. That should be my New Year's Resolution - unpacking the camera. Now I truly have motivation to learn to download and upload. Hopefully it's just a matter of connecting a cable, doing a file save, and then following the instructions here. Charlies_Dad, you may have to walk me through the process, but only if I get stuck. Your pictures here are really good! LOL at your "Aha!" Grey Karma, I am off of Shore Drive on the Cape Henry Trail. We call it the Cape Cupcake Trail because of all the time we spend on it. What part of the beach do you call home? Rebeccamcl!!! You are the reason I de-lurked in the first place. I read your intro and said, "Well if Rebecca can do it, than so can I." I'm on my way to your Intro / Bio thread this instant to say hello. Then it's off to find the Canon...

Guest Cricket Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) GreyKarma & Tiggersmom, Cupcake came in with the Mexican Food Group Greyhounds in Winter of '07. Her Greyhound Welfare name was Tortilla. We used to attend Burtonsville and Ellicott City Meet & Greets. We also popped in at Takoma Park last spring or summer. There's a picture of me, but not Cupcake, at my website. I'll do my best to get a Cupcake picture up today. Everyone, thank you for the very nice welcome. Ya'all make the newbies feel at home here.
