Guest chimni Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hi all, We just adopted 3 year old Sofia with the help of Friends of Retired Greyhounds in Colorado. We've had her for a little over a week so far and things have been going very well. Right after she was rescued from a track in Florida she went through the prison training program out here, so her manners are impeccable. We used a crate while we were out of the house the first few days, but she's so happy just snoozing on the sofa (hence her name, Sofia) that we've given her free reign with zero issues. She's been a good sport putting up with the cold Wyoming weather and she gets along fine with our 2 cats (who think they're the alphas in the family).

Guest chimni Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Thanks for the warm greeting everyone!!! We're excited to be part of this community. Since we decided to foster Sofia before adopting, we haven't received all her paperwork yet, so I don't know what her racing name was. And her ear tattoos are so faint, it's hard to tell what they say. And yes, Jeffrey's is still a great restaurant here. Probably one of the best, along with Sweet Melissa's. Thanks again for saying hi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreytNut Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 She's adorable! Was her kennel name Speckles? I ask because we just adopted our new guy Riley from FORG and I remember seeing a very similar-looking cutie named Speckles up for adoption at the same time. Congratulations.

Guest chimni Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Yes, that's her. We really debated whether or not to change her name because that's what she's used to... but I kinda like people names more than physical description names. Congrats to you on your new adoption as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
