Hello all! I've been lurking around the board for a while with nothing much to say until now. On Friday afternoon I got to bring home my first greyhound, and I am in love! So i'd like to introduce all of you to Willow (aka Marvel, aka I Am Decepticon) She seems to be settling in well, so well in fact, that I woke up this morning to find her roaching in her crate with her tongue all the way out of her mouth Her attempts at making friends with Sadie, her kitty sister, have been met with raised hackles, puffy tail and hissing, but Willow has been amazing. She looks at Sadie, then looks at me for direction, and listens when I tell her to "leave it". Proud Momma over here! In more proud Momma news, we've already had lots of "peepee and poopoo parties''! Those of course, are the parties one throws for a houndie who does her peepees and poopoos on a leash. Festivities include squeals of happiness, ear scratches, kisses, full body rubs, and of course cookies! I look forward to sharing our future adventures with everyone here -Lauren & Willow

Congratulations, she is adorable. I love the crate story. It sounds like she has already worked hr magic and hooked you line and sinker. I don't know how they do it so fast, must be a x racer thing.

Thanks for all the welcomes and replies everyone! I am in awe of how smart and wonderful my Willow is. I've had dogs all my life, all retreivers golden, golden X, 2 duck tollers, and a big red hunting lab, and none of them settled in and learned the rules as quickly as she has.
Also, today her kitty sister let her in close enough for a sniff, and she was very respectful. She took a quick sniff, then turned around and walked back to her bed.
That's it, I'm hooked, its all over lol I'm greyhound crazy!
