Guest Niffz Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hello! I'm Niffz, my Husband and I just adopted an almost 4yo Greyhound last weekend. We've named him André, after Andre the Giant... or the rapper Dr.Dre. Husband's idea! ^^ I can't believe how well he fits in with our family. He is getting along great with our two cats, and he's just so sweet. He was previously adopted once before he came to us! I have a feeling that I'm going to be a crazy hound lady! Well, see you around the forums! Niffz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Adrianne Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Welcome from Atlanta, and your boy is so handsome. I realized I had become "that crazy pet lady" one day when I looked at my FB wall and realized 90% of my posts and photos are of my dogs and my cat.

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...

HeidisMum Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hi and welcome from another Mainer. I love the name Andre. What part of the state are you located in? We are in Buxton, just outside of Portland. We adopted our first girl Heidi (Sendahl Eve) in Dec 08 and added our second girl Betty (Nitro Ugly Betty) in Dec 10. They become very addictive!

Guest Niffz Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Thanks, I think it fits him pretty well ^^ Neat another Mainer!! We're just outside of Bangor. Where did younadopt your pups from? Snowy today, not looking forward to shoveling! Edited March 19, 2013 by Niffz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeidisMum Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 We are getting hit with the snow now. The mud was just starting to dry up in our fenced yard... not anymore. We adopted Heidi from Maine Greyhound Placement and adopted Betty from Animal Welfare Society in Kennebunk. Where did you adopt Andre from?

Guest Niffz Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Sorry mainegrey i missed your posts! Ohmygosh! I work in BarHarbor ^^. I'd love a play date (oh and I'm sure Andre would too) hehe! I haven't found a good fences in place for him to run, but that wouldn't be for awhile anyway. We're working on the recall bit! As for the snow, I made him walk in it. He kept giving me these sideways glances as of saying "How long is his walk going to be? Are we home yet?" When we did get home he plopped in his blanket and slept. We found out he HATES seagulls. He's so good on his walks, ignores barking dogs people etc, but these birds... He wanted them dead! The only time he really freaked out so far! Edited March 21, 2013 by Niffz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
