Guest ndgrey Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Hello everyone, since adopting our first greyhound a month ago I've found so much insight and information on this forum that I figured it was time to register. My husband and I are in our early twenties and have wanted a grey for several years, and it just recently worked out for us to finally adopt. We found our big fawn brindle boy in Nebraska and trucked him all the way back to North Dakota; we later decided that Salvatore, or Sal for short, sounded just right for his new name. He's been an absolute joy so far, so correctable and eager to please! We're really excited for the coming months when his personality will really start to shine. I'm so glad to be here! Being several hours from the nearest track means that we might be one of the few or possibly the only greyhound in town- I feel like we're part of a super secret club! It would appear that photos hosted on facebook are not allowed, so I'll work on getting some pics!

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...

Guest DragonflyDM Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Congrats! Do you know his racing name? You can upload a pic to photobucket.com, then you click on the image link, copy it and paste it here. First...welcome. I am totally new as well and this is a great forum. But I have a question-- how do you find his racing name again if you forgot it? Mine was something like "Kwon ___ Nick" but I thought that it would be sort of odd to talk about his racing days with people now that he was a pet--- but lots of grey owners keep asking me about his career. I know my grey ran 100 races and won 28, but that is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ndgrey Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Thank you so much for all the warm welcomes! Here are a few shots of Sal via photobucket (thanks for the recommendation), though I apologize that the quality isn't excellent; our iPod is unfortunately more convenient to grab than the dslr. I hope everyone is having a great weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
