Hello everyone, We were down for a wedding in July and decided to stop by Bill's to look at a grey. Ya right you just can't look...LOL, we ended up adopting a grey named Bob. It was one of the best desisions we have ever made. Bob has brought so much joy and happiness into our lives. My name is Alice and my husband is Mike. To be honest I was never really a dog person until I met Bob. We walked into the barn and Bob jumped up and took right to my husband. We couldn't leave him there. Ticker took to me but unfortunately we could only afford to take one home. Does anyone know if Ticker is still there? I have saved some money to go and get another grey and I would love to bring Ticker home. By the way we live in Oshawa and would love to get together with other grey's for a playdate. I don't know how to insert pictures or I would. Hope to hear from everyone. Alice

Hi Alice! Welcome to our forum! My parents are in Whitby and I'm down that way all the time. I would love to get together with the houndies (and my dober-girl if that's ok!). Greyhounds certainly are addictive Jenn

Congratulations on adopting Bob! Yes, Ticker was still there as of last weekend. If you are really interested, you might want to give Bill a shout

Hi Alice!! Congratulations on adopting Bob! My name is Anna and I was adopted by Northern Dotty (Dotty) thru GRA Canada on July 11, 2006. ;D I also fell madly in love with Hardontheticker (Ticker), and Dotty and I even made the trip to the barn to pick him up and bring him home, but my husband said no, and I had to return poor Ticker to the farm the same day I picked him up. You can read about the whole sad, sorry, sordid affair in the GRA Forum thread "Hardontheticker". Ticker is WONDERFUL, FANTASTIC, AMAZING -- a happy clown,a big marshmallow, a real softy. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE adopt Ticker -- he is so worthy, so deserving of a nice forever home! And it would be so super if we could keep in touch so I can hear about him and know how he's doing, because a VERY large piece of my heart belongs to that handsome fella! Please let us know if you proceed with the adoption -- and also keep us posted about Bob!! PuppyLove, Anna and Dotty

Welcome! ;D It is soooo hard to leave that barn with just one grey...last time we went in we left with 3!!! I would really like to go back and add a cute lil girl to our family but the hubby has put his foot down (softly but he never puts his foot down so I am taking this seriously). Hopefully you will be able to contact Bill and bring Ticker home!

Thanks for the replies. I would love to go and adopt Ticker right away but we live 2 hours away and time is hard for travelling right now. A freind of Ticker called me last night and said he was waiting for me.....LOL....Bill is so funny. If I can I am going to talk to my husband about going to get Ticker next week end. Hang on Ticker I'll be there soon.

Emily and the humans also live in Oshawa. It would be nice to look a dog in the eye!
