Guest Cilla Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hi greytalkers! My name is Ilaria and I'm writing to you from Italy. I was looking for a nice greyhounds' forum and I found this one, which is really nice. I'm the proud mum of Max (race name Rains Max), an irish greyhound I adopted three years ago. I had other dogs in my life but I completely fell in love with this breed and with my precious big brindle boy. The family is composed also by my husband Roberto, our sheperd dog Dora, three horses and a cat. I apologize in advance for the mistakes in writing!

Guest Cilla Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Thanks everybody for your welcome! I adopted Max from SOS Levrieri and before he was in an irish rescue called HUG.

greytpups Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Welcome from Ontario. Your English is wonderful! You are such an angel for adopting an Irish Greyhound, and hopefully Max will help inspire others to adopt Irish Greyhounds.

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...
Guest Cilla Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Thank you for the compliment...my english is not so good I know, but I love english language and I try to practice it more than I can. Yes, since I have Max I've been persecuting everybody telling them what wonderful pets are greyhounds. At present two friends adopted two greyhounds after my influence, I hope the number will increase! I would really love to adopt another one but Max is a big boy (74 cm at the shoulder x 34 kilos) and Dora is a big girl too and I don't think I could manage walking three big dogs ( my hubby works full time quite far from home and I'm the one taking care of all our pets during the week).....that said I don't know how long I'll resist :-P These are the furry babies taking over the sofa together with a friend greyhound named Oscar And please note the poor human sitting on the dog's bed 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllenEveBaz Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Welcome to you and your dogs, who are beautiful even when upside down. We would like to see pictures of the horses and cat, too. You and Max must have a good time doing home visits for adoptions. Humans sitting on dog beds is perfectly normal.
