Guest EmergencyOps Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 After a year of reading up on Greyhounds and waiting for the time to be right...my wife and I adopted Anita (Whytell Anita) yesterday! At a Show n Tail with Heart of Texas Greyhound Adoption in San Antonio we met her and finalized the paperwork. She is a sweet senior at 7 years of age. Here are some photos...ENJOY! My wife and Farrah getting to know Anita outside the Show n Tail: Shopping for a bed (just before we shelled out $60 for that one we learned about the wonderful world of Costco): The first evening at home: The two girls getting comfortable on their respective blankets: Laying down while eating, just like her foster mentioned: Anita's first roach in our home: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsugrad Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Welcome to GT! Anita is so beautiful and so is Farrah! I laughed when I saw the pic of her lying down while eating. I guess she's taking this whole retirement thing very seriously! Congratulations!!!!

Guest littlesyd85 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Congratulations! She is beautiful! She seems to be right at home. Where did your wife get that shirt in the first photo? I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EmergencyOps Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Congratulations! She is beautiful! She seems to be right at home. Where did your wife get that shirt in the first photo? I love it! It was an online auction item from GPA Wisconsin. She's a Physical Therapist and loves to wear it; when we're out with her co-workers, they get educated on the anatomy (and adoptability) of Greyhounds! Most of the muscles labeled on the shirt are real; some, like "Fleetus Footus", "Squeakyius Obliteratior", and "Snackial Locatoris" are for laughs.

PrairieProf Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Welcome to GT! Anita is beautiful; such a yummy color, and she's surprisingly dark in the face still. Are the white spots on her back loss of pigment from healed injuries? Looks like you might need a dog bed for the kitchen!

Are the white spots on her back loss of pigment from healed injuries? Nope, that's just the flea preventative that the adoption agency administered; it's the similar to what you get at the Vet's office but it's white-colored and is for mass-dispensing to a gaggle of Greyhounds.

Guest EmergencyOps Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Love that you have your little girl in lavender; she looks ultra-feminine. And very happy!! Thank you, everybody! As we were picking the color of martingale and lead for her from the adoption group, I first went for the dark green (my favorite color)...but my wife was quick to say that she wanted our new girl to look like a girl. I hesitated, but I now agree that lavender looks great on her. She loves to lay in Farrah's car-bed, despite the fact that it's a little too small...
