Hey everybody, I'm Abigail Hallatt, and my family and I will be adopting Peace. We've been living in North Carolina for about 4 years and are orignally from Rochester, NY. We already have two small dogs, a westie and a shiba named Mitsu and Walter. We'll need all the advice we can get this being our first Greyhound, but we can't wait to get him home ^_^ It was so nice to meet you all, it's a real pleasure to meet such a nice bunch.

oh get ready! greyhounds are the best! i never even thought i would have a dog but after getting my first greyhound in january, i got my second last week! good luck and welcome to the group! this bunch of people are greyt to talk to and have a lot to offer with advice.

peace is a very handsome greyhound... can't wait for you to post some pictures when you get him home!

Welcome to the wonderful world of greyhounds!! I'm originally from Binghamton --been down here for 14 years and love it! Hope to meet you soon!

Hey you guys, nice to inter-meet you! Now, we have already decided to rename Peace, though the name does fit him to a degree. What do you guys think about Fezzik?

Welcome and congradulations!
Let us know if you need any help, advice etc....
I like the name Fezzik. Wasn't that the name of a person in the movie "The Princess Bride" ? I love names that are different.
I named one of mine after a movie name. Isabeau from "Lady Hawk"

Yeah, it is from the "Princess Bride", hehe. We though the whole gentle giant thing fit pretty well. We're also currently thinking of the name Cyrano. And thanks for the welcome you guys!

Where in NC are you. You'll definitely want to try to get with a playgroup and see your pup full out! Definitely a sight to see the first time if you haven't seen many Greyhounds before.

it is a greyt thing to see them run and play together... when exactly will you be picking him up to take him home?

Well, he is scheduled to be neutered on the first or second of April, so if all goes as planned, we should be picking him up on thursday, or friday. We're all very excited! And congrats on your second greyhound!

Oops, didn't see the other post. We live in Apex, NC, which is about and hour and a half away from the kennel, near Raleigh.

Hey, Apex is in our neck of the woods! Please join Triangle Greyhound Society at our meet and greets and events. We are having a picnic at Bond Park this Saturday. Come and get your greyhound fix until you are able to pick up your boy!

Sometime it's a very small world. I'm from Binghamton also.
Peace is a wonderful dog. We had him to the Meet and Greet in Mt. Airy and he was a big hit.

Hi,

Sandy

Apex?! You're deep in Greyhound Country now!!! A bunch of us meet on Sunday mornings at the Panera Bread at Beaver Creek (intersection of 55 and 64). We bring our hounds and have breakfast outside. (Greyhounds LOVE bagels and cinnamon rolls!) We're meeting around 10AM now and will change to 9AM when the weather starts to get hot. We're usually there for a couple of hours. Hope you can join us!!
Jean

With hounds Opie, Rose, Jingo & Cricket

All those events sound great! I'll definitely be joing in! Thanks again for all the welcomes! Regarding names, we're at a loss. My mother, my father, my sister, and I all have our seperate ideas ha. We're probably going to have to spend a couple days with him here before we're able to come up with anything that's not ridiculous. Six more days! I can't wait!
