EllenEveBaz Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Happy Kelsey/Fiona/Dyani She's a beautiful, beautiful 5-year-old red fawn girl. She's met Milo and Jeter, and the boys made sure to pee over every place she did. We toured the yard on leash, and she wasn't sure about the ornamental pool or the ouchy rosebush. After the initial excited sniffs, Jeter isn't paying much attention to her. Milo tried to run with her once I let her off leash, but she just wanted to explore. Racing name Happy Kelsey. Gable Dodge was a great-grandpappy, and she's got the trademark Gable Dodge eyes. Racing kennel nickname Fiona. Her first family named her Dyani, which means deer in a Native American language. I like shorter names, so she may go back to Kelsey or Kell, or she may tell me she prefers something else. The name will sort itself out. Much more urgent is deciding on her signature color for accessories. She arrived with a mixture of pink, purple, and dark blue. So lucky to get this girl. Lucky that my long-time adoption program, Greyhound Friends of NC, is still operating and willing to adopt to me even though I've moved a little out of service area. And she's here through the power of GreyTalk. Time4aNap gave me a kick and told me to stop waiting for the universe to drop what I wanted into my lap and encouraged me to let people know what I was looking for. Our own Macoduck is a volunteer for GFNC and alerted me the instant she heard that there might be a middle-aged female return. She made sure I staked my claim so that nobody else could get their hooks into her. Evidently I almost had to arm wrestle her foster family. So Ducky is her fairy godmother. The trip back was horrific, with 95 degree weather, a camp-out period in a crowded parking lot to wait out a thunder and hail storm, and backed-up traffic everywhere. But we are home, and she is lying down a respectful distance from Jeter, giving the occasional adorable little snore. I'm hoping Ducky will post a few pics of her for me. I'm so happy that Happy Kelsey is here.

MerseyGrey Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Congratulations to you all on adopting such a beauty. Sh’s a lucky girl to have so many people looking out for her. Do all fawn hounds look like they are wearing eyeliner or is it specific to Gable Dodge progeny? Accessorising your hound is very important. I think her green collar is very good match for her colour, although a vivid fuchsia pink would suit her just as well. She’s one of those girls who would probably look good in anything.

EllenEveBaz Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 We are negotiating on names and colors. I want to name her Tess or Lass, with accessories emerald green. (PA's Shawneelass was adopted by a GT'er and called Lass. She was a beautiful red fawn and I always thought that was a beautiful name.) Happy Kelsey says that's way too serious; she feels more like a Kelsey, and peenk. Although she is willing to compromise on pink with shades of rose and apricot. We do agree on a theme song: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Quote [Shine] was a very dark brindle, but. she was beautiful as well. Nutmeg was a dark brindle. I always wanted to take a picture of her fur, enlarge the pic, and put it on a wall as a piece of art.

EllenEveBaz Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 Name will be Gelsey -- like the ballerina Gelsey Kirkland. Sounds like Kelsey, except starts with a hard "g" instead of the almost identical "k". Today, Gelsey has pawed off and chewed part of a roll of toilet paper; torn up my bag of eyedrops, thank goodness only chewing and not puncturing any of the tiny bottles that cost me $500 each month; and charmed the pants off of everyone at the vet's. Fecal negative. Quote Ellen, with brindle Milo and the blonde ballerina, Gelsey remembering Eve, Baz, Scout, Romie, Nutmeg, and Jeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
