After loosing Barney our lovely greyhound boy to bone cancer about 2 months ago we had decided that getting another dog was not on the agenda for a while. Not because we don't have the time etc purely because it didn't feel right. I still follow the kennels we got Barn from on FB, always like seeing the dogs but none had jumped out at me. Today, while looking through my fb feed I keep coming back to a particularly dainty little lady somehow popping up at the top of my page every single time I log on ... Finally opened the picture full screen and low and behold. There's a collage of photos on the wall behind her and guess who is literally leaping over her head ... Barney 😂 taking it as a sign and visiting the kennels tomorrow, if its meant to be, so be it 😆 if its not no harm done and I'll get to see some lovely hounds!

Shes very pretty, and the total opposite from B. He was a huge fairly h/w for a greyhound and she's a tiny petite little thing. Same age as B was when we took him on, same kennel, we also brought him home a few weeks before Xmas 6 years ago. Its very strange!
 
Good luck today with your kennel visit. Hope you like the little girl. Can we know which rescue? I have a whippet/greyhound from the former GRWE.

Ha ha I have the same - one of mine is a 21" tiny petite girl and one is a 34" 5 stone boy &#128522; I used to take them both to street collections to prove that greyhounds come in a variety of sizes and colours &#128522;&#128522;&#128522;
 
Just been down, love Lucy but looks like she may have found a home already, easy to see why! But took her for walkies anyway, they will let me know if these people don't take her for any reason and provided cat check goes ok (the grumpy old girl going down to meet several residents on Monday ...) there's a few other possibilities if not (ooooops) took another one for a walk called Berger but not sure we would be the right home think he might need somewhere quieter, although my little sister has already renamed him ginger &#128540;

There's another little lady that I like, jet black, very sweet so shes on the cat test list for Monday. As well as one the kennels have recommend to try, a very hyper boy, again really sweet.

4 hounds get to meet the killer cat, shes old and feisty, kept B in line, so right attitude in a dog more important than anything &#128517;
 
how exciting, looking forward to pics of the new one....hope its the black girl!!!!! i love black dogs and they always seem to be left at the rescue centres...

I have two of them and I cannot understand why they are difficult to re-home - they are black, shiny and FUN :) :) :) Black greyhounds are the best :)
 
Happy to report Lucy was still there, (mad people that wanted her didn't come back!) passed the cat check, bit of interest but trainable. She comes home tomorrow morning &#128513; photos to follow.

Definitely meant to be &#128077;
