turbotaina Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Congratulations!! Do you know when GW is expecting their new hauls? Thought they had new pups arriving any day. We brought in 4 pups from Daytona on Saturday, got two more dogs coming in from West Virginia this coming weekend. I think the woman who updates our site has been tied up (probably with her new pup ), but we should have the new dogs up soon. We're running very low. Which is good for dogs, not so good for our adopters Four gorgeous hounds arrived from Daytona this past Saturday. They will be on hold for a week so we can get a good sense of their personalities, of course. Ah, Peej beat me to it Quote Meredith with Heyokha (HUS Me Teddy) and Crow (Mike Milbury).

Will try again later today. Any jobs in particular GW needs some assistance?? I'm open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest case529 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Well, we are very enthusiastic about the dogs, and spazzy internet nerds as well, so it was kind of a no-brainer to join GT, at least for me. Eric doesn't like forums, so I'm the GT social liaison for our house. you sound just like us, lol. i'm the one on the forum, the spouse just gets information from me. got our new love a week ago Saturday and life is greyt.

Teensy Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 We've pretty much seen our options. We've been in love with Irene from the start. We're planning to bring her home tomorrow. Today I went and got all the stuff, and in case anyone thinks it's impossible, yes I did make it home with a 35 pound bag of dog food on the back of my bicycle, and a backpack full of other stuff, and a comforter from Value Village hanging off the handle bars, and at some point I even had a short conversation on my mobile phone. It wasn't even difficult. I swear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest houndstooth4 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I just wish I could see photos of that bike ride! Holy Toledo! Congratulations on your new girl! I hope we see pictures of her soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest agroshong Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) There will definitely need to be more photos of this beautiful gal. Here's an older one I have from a M&G a few months ago. Congrats! Edited September 15, 2009 by agroshong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teensy Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hey, thanks, for the picture of Irene. I'm guessing the pictures of me on the bicycle with all that stuff will be coming to a twitpic near you (I saw some people trying to look inconspicuous with their camera phones), but really, I'm not some amazing athlete or something. It's just much easier than it sounds. I knew the moment that I laid the bag across the rack that it was going to be totally fine. It pretty much balances itself. In the Netherlands it frequently happens that you have two people who are going somewhere together and only one bicycle, and you just ride with one person on the back, and trust me it's better to be the one pedaling than sitting, because it takes a lot of unique muscle action to keep from falling off, whereas pedaling is just the same muscles, same action, only a bit harder. I wonder if I'll sleep at all tonight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomDoggy Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I've been quietly following this thread, and can't stand any more to not barge in and say how happy I am for you that this has all worked out so well so far! Welcome to GT, GW, and the whole GH craze. And perhaps most importantly, welcome home, Irene! Quote ~Aimee, with Flower, Alan, Queenie, & Spodee Odee!

Guest Harry702 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Sometimes things are just meant to be. The same thing happened with us and Harry. We feel in love with him a good two months before we could bring him home, and tried not to get attached as we figured he'd get snatched up well before then. Imagine how happy we were when he was still available when we were able to bring him home. Everything works out the way it should. I wish you the best with Irene. She sounds like a character!
