Guest Bhamgreyt Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Just wanted to say hello. I am the proud papa to an 8yo fawn female named Lila. We've had her for 4 years now and all I can say what an amazing dog. My youngest daughter who was 6 at the time we got Lila was irrationally terrified of just about any animal. We took Lila home conditionally and after about 5 days, Lila "taught" my daughter to get past her fear of dogs. My mom lives about 4 hours away and can't be around "big dogs" after being attacked by shepards as a teenager. She now regularly spoils Lila and insists we bring Lila whenever we go visit. I can't believe I haven't found this site sooner. I stumbled on it by mistake in doing some searches. Lila was limping two weeks ago. She's doing a lot better now. The "greyhound whisperer" at the track said its a pulled tendon in her paw. Second search and news is that we just adopted a sweet brindle girl. She comes home the second week in August. Someone mentioned a FB page where adopters can connect with breeders. I'd love to join that too if anyone can point me in the right direction. I'm very interested in finding info about the breeder who's dogs racing names start with LK. Hope to be here often! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to hear that your girl has been working hard to convert your family to be greyhound/dog/animal lovers Quote <p>"One day I hope to be the person my dog thinks I am"Sadi's Pet Pages Sadi's Greyhound Data PageMulder1/9/95-21/3/04 Scully1/9/95-16/2/05Sadi 7/4/99 - 23/6/13 CroftviewRGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryffenne Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Welcome to GT! My mother was also attacked by a large dog as a child, so naturally was afraid of Sammi when I first adopted her. Sammi taught her that not all big dogs are scary. For the next few years until my mother passed away, Sammi was her beloved grandpup, spoiled kitchen help, and finally quiet nursemaid. Rule #1 about Greytalk: Pictures are loved, looked at, welcome, encouraged and... well.. borderline a requirement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bhamgreyt Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Here's the brindle we're adopting in August. She's the one in the front with the white socks. This pic was actually in the paper on a story they ran on adoptions at the track: Here's Lila vegging out on her latest addition from the "Bed of the Month" club (Ha!).
