We are so excited to welcome Italy to our family!! Saturday was so exciting and the two hour drive felt like it took forever! We were nervous when we pulled up to where Italy's was staying and hoped that she would like us. Italy is so sweet and loving, she wanted us to pet her non-stop. Next was how would she do with five little furry dogs running around. The ride home went well. Just freaked me out a bit when I would turn to look back and her HUGE head would be right there next to mine. LOL! Once we got going she laid down next to the boy child and really seem to love him.
We were a bundle of nerves when we pulled into the driveway, unsure how the dogs would react to such a LARGE dog. They have always done great when we brought home a foster, but this was a tick different...or LARGER. Greyhounds are use to wearing a muzzle and we thought it would be best until we were pretty sure she wouldn't eat iHop. I think Steeler was the most freaked out by Italy, but after a few minutes they all chilled out and did great. iHop really enjoyed checking her out and all of her dog beds. He wouldn't leave her alone!
Later that evening we removed her muzzle and she has been doing wonderful! She is sleeping in the boy child's bedroom, which he loves. He also has been walking her in the evening and morning! We have decided that we are keeping her name and not changing it. Italy has grown on us and seems to fit her nicely.
I have already did a little shopping for Miss. Italy! Had to buy her a stunning collar! Yesterday we found this cool store Garden Ridge (I'll be going back!!) and they had great prices on dog beds! We now have three large beds for her, but think we'll pick up one more to have out back. Lets just say, she'll be one spoiled Greyhound!!
Today it's back to reality and cannot wait to do some cooking later this evening!
I love Greyhounds. I want to get a retired one as a pet. Hubby wants a bulldog lol.
