Guest Drewskii Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Hello everyone, My wife and i just adopted our first greyhound 6 days ago! His name is Cupid and he is a very sweet brindle boy. He LOVES his crate and prefers to be in there as much as he can. I want to say that this wewbsite has been a wealth of knowledge so far espically because we are struggling with going up the stairs in our apartment complex....... Other then the stairs he has been very sweet and is starting to show us affection, but still prefers his crate to sitting with us or exploring the apartment.

Houndtime Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Welome from lower Delaware. It is best not to leave on the collar with tags in the crate. It could get caught. Try looking up a tag collar or I have collars with the dogs name and phone numbes embroidered on them. He is certainly a handsome boy.

MauCarden Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Welcome from sorta NOVA, Stafford County. Stairs were a problem too with our latest adoption. Then all of a sudden she figured them out and now flies up and down. Quote Missing my sweet girl Scout. My snuggler, my chow-hound, my kissy girl. It never thunders at the Bridge, and your food bowl is ALWAYS filled. So strange not living in Atty World. I was a love struck handmaiden to your every whim.

Guest Drewskii Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone! We are looking into attending the grapehound event next month seeing as how its going to be held right in our back yard. It will be good to meet some other fellow greyhound owners! Also as an update to my initial introduction....... Cupid mastered the stairs last night!!!! My wife and i are both so proud, all it took was a cooked hot dog and all of his fear was gone and he calmly walked all 4 flights like he had been doing it all his life!!!!
