Guest Jengrey1 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hello! My name is Jennifer. I am from Arkansas. I am proud mama to Socks, an 8 yr old black grey. She is also a tripod. I also have a maltese poodle mix and a cat. I have fostered many greyhounds over the last few years. Socks and I have decided that we are ready to add a new member to the family. I was approved to adopt through Midsouth Greyhound adoption option in West Memphis, just yesterday. Unfortunately, we are going to have about a month or so to get our new family member, cause I have to get some dental work done. The time is going to go by so slow, because I am so excited. This is a pic of Socks sunbathing about two weeks after her amputation. Socks with her best friend Max, he has crossed the rainbow bridge.

ramonaghan Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Socks looks like a real character! Very sorry she--and you--lost her buddy Max (what a sweet face!), but congrats on the soon-to-be new addition!

Guest Jengrey1 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Max was a very sweet guy. He would protect her from the neighbors dogs. I guess he thought that they could get her through the fence. Socks is quite the character, she knows how to use her lack of leg to get what she wants. The vet told me when she had her surgery that she will lose all the muscle tone in that shoulder. All she has left is her shoulder blade and the muscle. She can still move it and stretch it out. She is so brave, I am so proud of her. Can't wait for our new grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an italian mastiff, she's only 85lbs.

Guest Jengrey1 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Thanks for the replies. I have been a member of the forum for a while, but I usually just lurk. With the new grey I am about to get I am sure I will have plenty of questions. All the greys I have had before were staying in the adoption groups homes before they became my foster. I have never had a dog straight from the track, it will be a learning experience for all of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
