Hi everyone - I've been following this forum off and on for literally years - been fascinated by greyhounds but never actually met one until 2 weeks ago at GRA. They are so beautiful, and there are so many amazing stories on this forum along with great people and great support. I thought it was time to officially join the forum since I have adopted Owen, and I am so excited to be bringing him home on Saturday! It was love at first sight, and the kiss he gave me on the nose sealed the deal. I know he will be the perfect little brother to our 6 year old super silly and playful Irish Setter, Seamus. Only 2 more sleeps!

Oh my goodness, what wonderful news! Congrats on your adoption of beautiful Owen, he is a very handsome fellow. What a lucky boy too that he has a brother to teach him all about retirement in his new home We are so excited for you as you start your 'adventure' with Owen (love his name too!), greys are incredibly special as you are about to find out! Can't wait to see photos of his homecoming!

Awww, congratulations! Owen and Seamus are going to stop traffic, they'll be such a striking pair! Owen's got that beautiful dark brindling going, and against Seamus' red... awesome! Can't wait to see pictures of the two of them together.

Thanks, we are very excited. My copy of "retired racing greyhounds for dummies" arrived from Chapters just in time. Hubby has a new camera, so we're all set!

Yay, congratulations on bringing your beautiful Owen home tomorrow and welcome to the forum. I met Owen last week at Walk-a-Dog Day and he is a very handsome boy. So his journey into retirement begins tomorrow ... enjoy all the "firsts" for there will be many. Looking forward to photos and updates on your sweet Owen ....

It was an eventful day for sure. Owen has been home not quite 12 hours and has learned to go down the stairs (still needs some help going up), he now knows that windows are solid and that he can throw his stuffy teddy bear high enough to hit the ceiling. Love this guy! Will post some pictures soon. Thanks for all the encouragement.
