Guest zz00 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hi! I just wanted to come by and say hello. I am brand new to the grey world, and I can not believe how fantastic they are. We went to the adoption group to get one little boy (actually he is quite large) Nelson, and came home with Nelson and this sweet little girl named Crow, which is now named Violet. Nelson and Violet have been with us for a week now and It feel like they have been with us forever, they just fit in so well with the family! I will post pictures soon! -Zoey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 zz00 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Welcome from Sydney AUS. More details are needed about your lovely pair! What made you take both of them at once (other than the fact that they are just adorable!) Well to be honest we only planned on getting Nelson, we had such a hard time finding an adoption agency that served our area. We finally found the nice people at Greyhound Adoption of Ohio, they were four hours away. We drove up once for the interview and we picked out Nelson, we scheduled to go up a week later to pick him up. My parents had already said that we were probably going to get another one (I'm 18 by the way, Nelson and Violet were my early graduation presents!) and when we went up to pick up Nelson, we saw little Violet in the crate behind him, just wagging her tail at us with her sweetest little eyes! So we had to take her too, and plus it would save us a trip! So thats how we got two! They have been nothing but wonderful. Violet is a typical girl. haha She was very shy initially but she is warming up to everyone and she is so friendly and polite. Nelson is my wild child. when we brought him home he acted like he had known us all his life. After we gave him the initial tour he just made himself right at home. He stole the blanket out of Violet's crate and added them to his collection he had started on his bed in our living room. I didn't realize how big he was until he started bouncing around in our house. He looks like a horse! Mom calls him Tigger because he hops around everywhere. He is very energetic. They both love attention, which we are very happy to give. They seemed to have settled quite well. I have a video of them, I will put it up soon! Thank you for the warm welcome!
