labcoat22 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 So Dino joined my DW and my self a little over a year ago, a 4.5 years old beautiful brindle boy, and what a year it has been. So a little about Dino (Mani Mongone) or Mongo to his foster mom. Dino is a very big boy and talk about a gentle giant he raced at 82 lbs all 102 races. When we met Dino for the first time his foster mom opened his crate and we expected him to come flying out, but no he stood up and stretched. After his Doggy yoga he slowly walked around the room and sniffed everyone and got a few scratches when he got to my wife, who I quote "can we get a small female", I watched as Dino paused at her and she petted his head and I watched her hart melt. She looked at me and that was the end of it. We took him for a short walk and my DW asked if we could take him today. Fast forward a few weeks and Dino decided he didn't like sleeping alone at night, a few sleepless night and a soft crate later Dino was sleeping in the corner of our bedroom, not a problem but stairs were a confusing to him. So a few weeks of carrying Dino up and down stairs before he figured it out. A few months later and we celebrated Dino's fifth birthday and he discovers frozen yogurt. He also has master the art of retirement and has turned in to a very lazy hound well sort of he is learing about toys: well sort of Dino also enjoy show and I think he prefers the cold, but we do our best to keep him warm along the last yea Dino also welcomed a little brother home who he tolerates. Dino has even pitched in to help with the upcoming Easter Holiday playing his part as the Easter bunny. I think this should have enough pictures for now, and Dino says he to everyone.

Hawthorn Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Dino's gorgeous - love the big boys! Quote When a relationship of love is disrupted, the relationship does not cease. The love continues; therefore, the relationship continues. The work of grief is to reconcile and redeem life to a different love relationship. ~ W Scott Lineberry Always Greyhounds Home Boarding and Greyhounds With Love House Sitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
