Guest elizabeth7418 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hi all! My name's Liz, and my fiance Tim and I adopted Adiya (we're calling her Addy), a 7.5 year old red momma through REGAP of Illinois in January. My parents, have had a total of 8 greyhounds, 1 lurcher, and 2 salukis since 1998. I always knew that I wanted to adopt a hound of my own, and when I started teaching at a school where one of the teachers in my department had 8 greyhounds, it seemed destined to happen. Tim and I finally made the decision to adopt around Christmas-time, and I went to pick out Addy in early January.Addy is amazing! She loves to sleep, and ride in the car (which is great since my parents live an 8.5 hour car ride away in Pennsylvania), and sleep some more. She's doing so well, and I can't wait to adopt my 2nd pup! (We live in a townhouse now but are trying to sell so that we can buy a siingle family with a fenced in backyard. We don't have room for two dogs nor do I want to have to walk both of them, or else we'd already have a brother or sister for Addy.)Well, I just wanted to introduce myself. I hope to get to know you all soon! - Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvhounds2 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Nice! Auntie Mona is so greyt don't you think? I hope to meet you at the picnic! Thank you to everyone else! Yes, Auntie Mona is a gem. One of the hardestworking people we know! You'll love our little group. Also, you & I (Tick) are cousins! Your Grandma, Greys Jasmine & my Grandma, Greys Julianna, were sisters. Pretty cool, huh? You'll find lots of cousins and maybe brothers & sisters in our group!
