1stGrey Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) I've already posted a few questions here and on the Facebook page, so I'm a little late doing our introduction. My husband and I both had a dog while growing up. Together, we had a chow/shepherd mix that we adopted from the pound. We had her for 13 years before she passed. When we started looking at adopting another dog, my husband mentioned a greyhound. When we saw Jungle's picture on one of the adoption groups websites, my kids said 'that's our dog' and wouldn't stop talking about her. We went to a meet and greet, and everyone fell in love with her. We adopted Jungle (aka CTW Maneater) almost a month ago. She is a light red fawn and is 4 years old. She is a really sweet girl. She is great with our two kids and loves to play with her toys (well, mostly just her balls). She will even play fetch. She loves walks, car rides, meeting new people, and treats. We have the steps going out to the yard down! I have already bought her a sweater, 3 coats, and booties. I don't think she is too sure about the coats, but will tolerate them and is definitely happier with them now that is cold in the mornings (southern Ohio). We haven't tried the booties yet. The tutu I made her for Halloween is another story, she just looks at me like "Why?". She's our first greyhound, and we couldn't be happier. jungle Edited October 27, 2017 by 1stGrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Marvin still looks at us with 'why???' when we break out the halloween costumes and hats and antlers for holiday cards. He gets over it pretty quickly.)
