Hi,
My name is Patti, I've adopted 2 hounds from GRA so far:
#1 is Sly Sting (Sting), adopted on March 23, 2005. We had a greyt experience with him, he's been very good and we've had few problems with him. We were so happy with our experience that when his littermate came up for adoption, I had to see if they'd get along so I could bring him home as well! Which leads me to...
#2 Sly Eagle (Eagle), adopted April 1, 2006. So far everything is going well. We had some cat issues at first, but with the spray bottle and many "no kitty!" commands, I'm happy to report that Eagle is settling in quite nicely, thank you! He's learning leash manners too, and has only had one poo accident in the house, the day after we got him, because he didn't know to poop on leash outside yet. Now he's pooping on leash without problems (unless you count pooping on sidewalks as a problem!) and is much better with the cats as well.
Also, I just want to say "MANY THANKS!" to the folks who helped me both with bringing Sting into our home, and with bringing Sting to meet Eagle at GRA, then bringing Sting and me to pick Eagle up the next week! I don't have a car, so I relied on those kind people to give me rides back and forth to GRA.
Also, I'd like to thank Bill for doing such a wonderful job and working so hard to bring these doggies up to us in Canada so we can give them homes. Thanks, Bill! ;D

Aww, I'm so glad he is settling in. They look so much alike! Beautiful boys.

Hi Patti I'm a Patti too! In fact I would have adopted P's Stinger (Sting) if he hadn't been adopted so quickly ( big Sting fan here). I had a good chuckle when I saw your name and your dog's name. Synchronicity! Does your Sting have the same birthday as the musician too?

Synchronicity! Does your Sting have the same birthday as the musician too? It's funny, twice Bill has accidentally given me P's Stinger's papers instead of Eagle's, because he remembers I have Sly Sting! ;D Sting and Eagle were born in November 2000. I don't know when Sting the singer's birthday is. I've had a number of people ask me if Sting was named after the musician. I don't know, I just liked his racing name "Sly Sting" and kept the name Sting. Same thing with Eagle, "Sly Eagle." I think the name Eagle suits him because he's always using his "Eagle eyes" to look intently at things - including me when I first saw him at GRA, and that made me feel connected to him somehow. My teenaged daughter doesn't like the name, but she had two weeks to choose a different name and couldn't come up with anything decent. So, he's Eagle!

Sting's birthday is Oct. 2nd. P's Stinger was born on that day so the choice of name was obviously linked. Your boys are lovely btw.
