Rainy's 1st Gotcha Day!

Saturday Oct 3rd is Rainy's 1 year Gotcha day! Doesn't feel like it's only been a year since the greyhounds have totally taken over our lives. Chris still claims it's a cult but he's content to be cultish. We can honestly describe Rainy as the perfect dog. Has impeccable manners most of the time, although that's changing as she's being corrupted by Sunshine. She's content to hang around home and relax, but it always up for a car ride and new adventure. Of course all our neighbors are put on this earth to pet her. She's never met a stranger!

This single pup has completely turned the vibe in our home around. I am happy to get home after work to have her greet me at the door. Life is much more relaxed and happy, and she's even helped mend some thing in our marriage. Can't understand why we went this long w/o a greyhound!

We worked through her seperation anxiety (with the much needed patience from our neighbors), her food allergies, taking a chunk of fur out of Frizzle, socialization with non greys, with some minor bumps and bruises along the way. We wouldn't trade that experience for the world and will continue to spoil this girl rotten for the rest of her life on earth!

Rainy does everything with class and reminds us all what the important things are in life! Thank You GEGR for brining this perfect pup into our lives!
