Guest BrendaP Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hi! I'm looking forward to adopting my first greyhound. My family and I have owned a chocolate lab before, and my husband has had several dogs growing up. We have a nice house with a pretty good sized fenced back yard. I just adore the greyhounds -- the looks and temperament, the size, the playfulness. I've talked to a few agencies at meet and greets, and will settle down on our new companion soon. I do have questions, and I thought I'd go to the experts here as well as talking to the adoption people. Of course, I'll take pictures and post those when we have our new honey. Thanks for listening.

Guest Doggone Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hi and welcome! This is my third time in Texas: 1. Abilene, 2. Plano, and 3. Austin. I remember McKinney when it was much smaller (before El Dorado, etc.). Lovely town square, and some cute shops and eateries. Of course, Plano was much smaller then, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BrendaP Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Well the home visit went so smoothly that he left my dog with me! totally unexpected! We ran out to grab a crate and padding that evening while my son watched him. I got a ton of things with him, including two belly bands, plenty of food, some crackers, all his information, muzzle, martingale collar and matching leash. I found out his shot schedule, heartworm tablet time, all the vet records, and that he was already microchipped! woot! Without further ado, may I present Raino, aka PMB Raino. We're sticking with Raino for the name, unless something else becomes patently obvious. hehe! I'm so envious of Doodad's name. Hope I can get the pictures here.
