Looking for another greyhound


Recommended Posts

I am excited!  We decided as a family to look for another greyhound for several reasons.  Myrtle has been eating strange stuff when she gets upset.  She tries to make friends with cats! :o  Our house seems very empty.  She is very much my dog.  My DH misses having one of the boys snuggle up with him.  So, we have contacted a group in our area because our group is gone.  I will let you know when I hear something back.  I already talked to the people from the group.  So . . . . I . . .can't . . .wait! :banana

Congrats!! We lasted only about 2.5 months as a single greyhound family. :)

The last time we had only 1 greyhound was 2006 and that lasted 1 week.

They called me and told me that I get one of the hounds they got in last Saturday!  I get my pick!  Woo Hoo! :offwall They have 2 females and 2 males.  I don't even care which it is.  We are so excited!  I am sort of worried how Myrtle will handle another hound in the house.  She has been an only for almost 2 years.  It was because of me that we didn't adopt sooner.  Losing both of my boys in a 6 month span to that horrible killer, cancer,  adding another hound when I was so broken up was not a good idea.  After nursing Dawson for months with bone cancer made me reluctant to adopt another.  Now, seeing how lonely she is and how empty our home is has changed my thoughts on the subject.  I will post a picture when we get our new one.  We hope to have our new addition by Saturday the 9th!

Well, they adopted out the dog we thought we wanted.  They told me the other people put their application in first.  We really are going this Saturday.  We will be bringing one of the boys home with us I hope!  I will definitely post a picture if I get one of them.  I hope I hope I hope!

We have been taking Myrtle for rides every night because we have to go so far away to get our boy!  We are letting her choose her buddy!

Okay.  Good things first.  We brought home Wilson yesterday.  He is very sweet. Now for the bad.  He has hookworms.  I am afraid that Myrtle will get them.  She has not had her heartworm for a while because of her pancreatitis.  I am going to get it for her on Monday.  He paces and paces and paces.  Myrtle was fine with him yesterday but is done with it this morning. We put up his crate and put him in it and he finally laid down. 

Any advice will be appreciated. :(
