BellaBean Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hi everyone I wanted to take the time to introduce myself, we recently adopted our first greyhound through Shamrock Greyhound Placement in Louisville, KY. I started off volunteering with them and had decided to try out fostering since we already have two "rescue" dogs that we have had for a few years. I have become an addict to this forum and have been "stalking" it for some time. I love all the stories and information shared! Our house is pretty small so we weren't sure how adding another large dog to the mix would do, but it wasn't too bad! Anyway, I loved out first foster so much and was heartbroken when she went to her forever home that I didn't think I could do it again. My husband convinced me and we soon got our GiGi......big mistake on his part! She is now the newest member of our family and I cannot be happy to say that I am was a "foster failure!" We are still going to foster and see how things go, but I am super happy to have my girl. She is the sweetest thing and luckily never had to race. Her name was Good Girl and she came from West Virginia. When I get time to set up the stuff to add pictures I'll have to put some up of her. Thanks for letting me share!

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...

This is the 3rd time I was wanting to go to a greyhound function and the National Guard had different plans for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellaBean Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Well that's too bad, hopefully you can come out to one soon. Maybe you can check out a meet and greet soon if you felt like coming down one day.
