Guest eccoNreesie Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hi Everyone! I have been a longtime lurker of the board, finding it before I adopted my first grey in Sept 2008. What a great resource! I wanted to take this time to intro (finally) our pups etc. My name is Christine and myself along w/ my partner Michelle own two wonderful grey-girls: Ecco and Reesie. We are proud participants in GAFNE and are thoroughly enjoying our new pups. Ecco came to us as a wee youngin, at just 2 yrs old, with fair warning from the GAF folks that she was very puppy like...and she is! What a clown! We love her energy, spunkiness, bad girl attitude. After always owning a very spry cocker spaniel and growing up showing Collies, her energy is muted by far! But for a grey I guess she would be considered spunky. She is very smart and has already gotten her therapy dog cert and i will soon be starting obedience with her hopefully (we will see if my schedule allows!). My baby girl will be 3 in August. Reesie was also another perfect match for us from GAF. We had expressed our interest in "another " (who doesnt?) to Marilyn and after not having much luck in the cat friendly department, Reesie came into our lives. Shes a 7 yr old girl- has yet to match her new sisters energy level- but since shes new to us we feel that that can change. Already she is running around in the yard when the excitement of a meal is mentioned! Poor girl was a bounce (not from our group originally) and I think she knows now that we are her forever forever home! LOL So....hopefully I can figure out the picture thingy, any help is appreciated!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eccoNreesie Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hi PhillyPups- yes, we did meet at the picnic! You were babysitting the foster xpen and my girls were right next door in the middle pen. Michelle was babysitting them! I had to keep an eye on my Ecco girl as she was barking at everyone and being a general pup! I didnt realize who you were until I saw the pic online here with you and marilyn!

Guest TBSFlame Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Welcome from North Carolina. Can't wait to see a picture of your pups. I just adopted a young one, Riley. She is different than my racers that did race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eccoNreesie Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 can anyone offer me advise as to how i go about posting a picture on this fandangled GT? LOL. and yes, Marilyn is awesome. I met her that Friday at Nancy's and just had to give her a hug. i had tears in my eyes doing so- I am such a sap- but I couldnt help but feel a tremendous amount of respect for what she does and what she has been through- and still doing it! Wonderful woman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieProf Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Welcome from Iowa! (I'll be visiting the Philly burbs this weekend for my college reunion, I'll wave to you in spirit!). Most of us use Photobucket for pictures -- it's really easy to put them on there, then you just paste the image link URL in your message here.

Guest eccoNreesie Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 oh yeah photobucket! ok, well here is my first attempt: This is Ecco - she never raced or was trained, even her ear tatoos are messed up- they both are her birthday/litter order! http://<a href="http://s653.photobucket.com/albums/uu254/csting74/?action=view¤t=P9210041.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i653.photobucket.com/albums/uu254/csting74/P9210041.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/img] This is Reese............my older girl! She is just learning the ropes here at the Inn, and doin just fine!!! (dont mind the legs in the picture, this is usually where she is plastered against us- she has the best lean i have encountered thus far. great when you need something to lean on yourself, but kinda hard when you are trying to , well....move.......at all!) http://<a href="http://s653.photobucket.com/albums/uu254/csting74/?action=view¤t=reesiehead.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i653.photobucket.com/albums/uu254/csting74/reesiehead.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/img] and last but not least, both of them........here you can see how puppy like Ecco looks...... http:// <a href="http://s653.photobucket.com/albums/uu254/csting74/?action=view¤t=eccoreesie2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i653.photobucket.com/albums/uu254/csting74/eccoreesie2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/img] Hope that worked!!!

Jeff Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Welcome. You need to copy the IMG CODE, not the HTML CODE from photobucket. The top 2 links here should help http://forum.greytalk.com/index.php?act=He...E=01&HID=21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celbee Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hi from Wilmington! I was at the GAF-NE picnic as well... I was selling jackets and a bunch of other cool items-- next to the check-in tent... Pat watched things for me once so I could do some shopping of the auction items, but I never made it back to the x-pen, so probably didn't meet your sweeties...

Guest CaseynovasMom Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hi there Christine! (& likewise Michelle) Welcome from NY! Ecco and Reesie sound like quite the dynamic duo. We're so glad you de-lurked and we'll get to know you and your hounds better. And the photo of Ecco and her greybaby is priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

September Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hi from upstate Pa!! I have relatives in Philly-Jersey area who like to tell me all of their "I saw a greyhound today" experiences (since I've gotten mine). I don't think they understand how many greyhound people there are down there!

Guest eccoNreesie Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! Hi Debbie- I wanted to laugh when I saw dear ol Flossie at the picnic. I think Reese will give her a run for the money in the big ear department ! i just couldnt get her to put them up at the picnic...i think i needed a squeekie! there are a lot down here in the burbs, those greyhounds. there is one lady with one right around the corner from me, and several more "in town"..........but I still get everytime i walk ecco especially "is that a whippet"................ ! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PhillyPups Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Ah I remember your pups, isn't that how it always is?? My AnnaBanana and Gremlin were in the x-pen when the fosters were out. AnnaBanana got softest fur, and I think she would give Flossie a run for her money in the earsies department too, if only someone threw in a small squeaky thing or two. Gremlin, not so much with the ears, but that was her 3 weeks off the farm celebratory debut, so I think she did quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
