Guest EmilyRose Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Thought I should officially de-lurk! I have been reading threads here for a few months. I started the process to adopt a greyhound this summer after meeting some greyt hounds at a horse event. My girl had some difficulty recovering from being spayed but finally got to come home about three weeks ago. She is pretty much the love of my life (don't tell my boyfriend). Her name is Rowdy (after the fighter) and she just turned two She raced, very unsuccessfully, as Swivel Gun. Now she enjoys hanging out on the futon, going for walkies around the neighborhood (and of course being adored by passers by), going hiking (and stopping to be admired), doing zoomies at the dog park (and pausing for admiration for her zoomies), snoozing on the futon, and trying to eat the cats (we're working on that one) Edited: My pics didn't work and can't access mass storage sites from work. Will fix later http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/EmilyTrett/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsed2jhiol.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/EmilyTrett/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsrudvnkvp.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/EmilyTrett/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsofe7fggm.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/EmilyTrett/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpswlrsheyg.jpg Edited September 15, 2015 by EmilyRose Quote 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...

sabrina Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Rowdy. We suggest you read your contract very carefully. These humans can be tricksy & not give a houndie all they are entitled to. For instance you get a treat EVERY time you potty outside, before bed. These humans can be difficult to train but in the long run you will find it is worth the effort Daphne & Penny Edited September 22, 2015 by sabrina Quote Caroline, Mom to Daphne (49B-50215) and Penny (41D-55779)Remembering Bridge Angels Margo and Sabrina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
