New Family Member

002

 

Many of you may or may not know that I have two children that are grown and off doing their own thing.  I truly enjoyed being a mother, even when I thought I would pull my hair out, or theirs.  With both kids gone, my husband felt I needed someone to mother.  I truly didn’t want to adopt a child, because honestly I didn’t think I could handle another session of “teenage love drama” and all things associated with it. 

So we opted for the next best thing- we rescued a retired racing greyhound.  So once again we have someone to parent. 

Our new baby came to us on January 30, 2009.  She will be 4 on April 2nd.  Her name is Tamara, and she loves to play.  But she also likes to sleep.   She loves us unconditionally, and she is happy to see us come home, and sad when we leave.  We are still trying to figure one another out, but are getting better every day.

My cousin has 6 greys that they have rescued.  Don’t know if we can handle that many, but we can certainly handle one.  

She is very energetic at times, and absolutely loves to go on walks.  If we get her leash, she will sit down in front of us, so we can attach it to her collar and she races to the door. 

I’ve heard that pets will keep a person young, which is a good thing!  I am forced to get my exercise, because I do have to walk her, or rather she walks me!  She is pretty good with older children, and seems a bit afraid of smaller ones & will hide behind us if the little ones go towards her quickly.

If you are in the Central Indiana area and interested in rescuing a retired greyhound, visit www.indygpa.org or if you would like to meet Tamara, let me know.  She loves car rides and loves attention, but then again don’t we all!!

As always, if you or anyone you know is looking to buy, build or sell, I would love to be of assistance.  My goal is to serve your family’s needs first!
