LaFlaca Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 After losing our girl, Wendy, last week DH and I desperately needed to fill the Greyhound shaped hole in our hearts. So, we drove out to Friends of Greyhounds ~ Hi, Michelle and Jerry! ~ to see if any of the available hounds would be a good match. Happily, we made a love connection with Lola! Lola is a big, shiny black girl with a white blaze on her chest, white tipped HB's Commander tail and 4 white paws. She was formerly known as AMF Won't Forget. Her sire is DJays Octane and her dam is CTW Wild Flower. Lola turned 2 years old on April 29th of this year. She did very well her first night home and we look forward to seeing her true self shine through. If I can figure out how to post pix I'll post as soon as I take some of her. Welcome home sweet Lola!

Wendy (Lost Footing ~ 12/11/05 - 08/18/17) ~ Forever in our hearts. "I am yours, you are mine". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted on another thread this link to an image hosting site - I bookmarked it as it looks nice and easy to use and has no ads, but haven't tried it yet. Maybe your mum will be braver: https://postimages.org/ DocsDoctor ~ Thanks for the lovely welcome and for the image hosting site link! So far, I've tried imgur, tinypic and Flickr with no success. This should not be so difficult! Off to try postimages.org. Everyone, your welcoming words mean so much - thank you! Lola is doing well. No accidents in the house, no destructive behavior. She has rejected her crate and now much prefers her dog beds which took her very much by surprise the first time she climbed on. Lola was startled by the poofyness, I guess, and flew off the bed like a rocket! I tried hard not to laugh. On Sunday morning, a huge thunderstorm rolled over our house at about 6:30 a.m. Needless to say, that totally ruined breakfast for my poor, terrified girl. She was so scared that she tried to climb into the (open) refrigerator! Again, I tried really hard not to laugh. Odd Greyhound thing ~ Lola has climbed up on DH's desk 3 times. This girl is going to be fun! P.S. Please, God, make her stop farting soon!

ambpersand Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Congratulations to you and Lola! She sounds like an absolute gem. I believe my Pearl is from the same trainer (Thomas Ferris)- her name was AMF Repo Girl when she came to the rescue. Perhaps they're distant relatives!

LaFlaca Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Congratulations to you and Lola! She sounds like an absolute gem. I believe my Pearl is from the same trainer (Thomas Ferris)- her name was AMF Repo Girl when she came to the rescue. Perhaps they're distant relatives! Her trainer was Bryan Fulginiti and her owner was Thomas Ferris. What a small world! Do you know what AMF stands for? No luck at all posting pictures. Tried imgur, Flickr, tinypic, postimages. All I get is an X-in-a-box. I will keep trying. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Even my son couldn't figure it out.

LaFlaca Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Finally able to post a photo! Here's my Lola encountering a TV for the first time. It was an episode of Planet Earth replete with squeaking, squawking images of... PREY! Thankfully, she did not charge the screen!

Guest goofydog2 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 That particular bit of 'prey' she'd be better off not engaging!
