galgrey Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) He DOES look like a total sweetheart! He looks like a big boy too. I can just imagine your excitement. Can't wait to hear all about Rudy and see more pictures! ETA Just looked at him on the GO website and see that he's a smaller boy - just photographs big, I guess. Very handsome!

They say he is smaller, but his foster family felt he around 70 pounds rather than 65. He seemed more average to me compared to the other hounds around us. There was an 80 pound boy definitely bigger though! Oh, here's a photo with his foster brother. Edited January 27, 2013 by k9soul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest k9soul Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) I've been on a shopping spree for him today. He's coming with a really nice winter coat so I can wait a bit and get him a lighter spring coat later. I got him a nice tag collar designed to break under pressure, ID tag, a grooming mitt and curry brush, and a car/travel bed. A lot of other basic supplies I already have, nail dremel, tooth care items etc. Can't think of anything else at the moment. Waiting is the hardest part. Oh, and DesiRayMom, I did feel incredibly privileged. I've never quite felt that way before. It was a real "high."

Guest k9soul Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Rudy is home! He came home on Thursday but I've been run ragged trying to get the dogs accustomed and spend special time with each, calls from family and friends asking all about him and so on! He's doing really well. Initial first hard night because he and my oldest girl ran through to the hallway at the same time and she instigated a spat with him. Over quickly but shook everyone up. No issues since then and I'm making sure everyone has their space as we adjust. Anyway, Rudy boy got his welcome home toy and was quite happy with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest k9soul Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Congrats! What a handsome guy!Are the other dogs interested in his toy? Neither of the girls are very toy-interested. Tasha (my oldest) doesn't care about them in the least, but Raven likes to play with squeaky balls on occasion. I had a lot of toys for my golden retriever (who passed a year ago) who was a huge toy lover, so Rudy has inherited those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kkaiser104 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Congrats on your new boy! Teddi picked me too--he was the 5th or 6th dog I saw (I wanted an older boy, but they just wanted to give Teddi a turn out while I was seeing dogs). Teddi bounced out of the kennel, over to me, and nuzzled my leg until I pet him. He followed me everywhere in the kennel, and I knew. He was just over 2, and a BIG boy (85 pounds), and completely opposite of what I thought I wanted. But Teddi knew, and 7 months later I'm still crazy about him. I'm glad they let him out for his turn out or I wouldn't have even looked at him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trihounds Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Wow! He is one stunning dog! You are very lucky to have been picked!! Edited to add...just read your post about the tag collar on the way - that's great!! As it sounds like you know, martingales can be problematic inside the house with the risk of the D ring catching on everyday items. Enjoy your boy - he sounds and looks fantastic!

JenniferS Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 He's beautiful! His coloring reminds me a lot of my first greyhound (and love of my life), Quiet Man, pictured in my signature. He picked my husband and our lives were never the same after that (in a good way).

Guest k9soul Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Oh, also I forgot to mention that Rudy is a bounced pup. He lived for about a year with his first family, but then at Christmas they had a house full of very young kids and at some point apparently Rudy growled at one (I probably would have wanted to growl too). The mother also apparently found out she was expecting, and Rudy was returned. My gain, I say. I hope it is Rudy's too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukasmom Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 What a stunning hound you have!!! Congratulations!!! Your life will never be the same now that you have become a greyhound Mom.You can't help but get passionate about the breed and adoption.<br />Please consider bringing him to meet and greets. It is a great way to get him comfortable in all situations and with people and other dogs. If GO doesn't have any meet and greets in your area may I suggest that you check out Regap of Illinois and join us at one of ours. We don't care where you adopt, you would be welcomed with open arms and hearts.<br />Have fun watching him blossom as he gets more comfortable in his new life. Janice, Luka and Peace from the Southside of Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
