Memories

As it starts to feel more and more like fall (which is really my favorite season), I am reminded that the "gotcha days" for all three of my greyhounds are coming up soon.  I was also thinking that as adopters of retired racers, we don't have any puppy pictures of them.  Veil was our first venture into greyhounds and she was the youngest when we brought her home at just under two years old. Beckett was three and a half and Maddy was almost three.  I guess the pictures from the foster homes of the adoption group, which would be the first time we saw what they looked like, are what I consider to be their "baby pictures".

  Maddy's pictures came from Gadsen Correctional in Florida as she was a "prison-dog" from Second Chance at Life Greyhounds and technically, we were supposed to be her foster home.  But come on, one look at that picture of her eyes looking back at me and I knew I'd never be able to let her go.

  1. I was fortunate in that I got a photo of Barbie as a pup from the people who bred her.... and I haven't posted it on my blog yet! Will have to do that.

  2. Congrats on those gotcha days! Do you know who the breeders were? There are pictures of me as a puppy somewhere in my Facebook pictures, and I bet Veil looked just like me!

  4. I've never thought about puppy photos. I haven't got any of Frankie or Beryl either:( I know it was the photo of Beryl on the GAP website that I fell in love with. She just had mischief written all over her face:)

    I wouldn't have been able to let Maddy leave if I fostered her either ... one reason I don't foster!

    Congrats to all the kids on their upcoming Gotcha Days! Hopefully there will be big celebrations?
