Sambuca Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) Hi, I'm Karen and I adopted Sambuca "Bu" in October. He's a wonderful big black/brown boy. We can't really figure his color out. He is already my best buddy. His racing name was "Mike needs gas". It's true. He is the LAZIEST dog I have ever met, including other greys. I'm ok with that. I got a grey because I wanted a lazy dog. Bu goes almost everywhere with me. I'm a dog walker and pet sitter so he even goes to work with me. He is a sweet boy who is totally cat safe, small dog safe (in fact he prefers playing with small dogs than big dogs), other breed safe and he's great with kids. He has already convinced at least 1 family that their next dog is going to be a greyhound. I really couldn't be happier with him. Thanks for reading, Karen and Bu (I can't post pictures from this computer, so I'll have to try going over to my parents.)

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sambuca Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 When I got him (right off the track) we thought he looked a bit brown and that after a bath he would go back to black. But after the bath he still looks like a really really dark brown. He even has some reddish undertones. If you glance quickly he definitely looks black, but in the light he's brown. It's very odd. I love him either way, so it doesn't really matter, I would just like to be able to describe it accurately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
