Well, we didn't think we were ready for number three but she found us and we decided after many emotional discussions that we would keep her :wub:
Meet Emmy:
She's not strictly all whippet, as I'm sure you can tell from the pic, but as most people I know on here are whippet people, I thought you wouldn't mind if she becomes an honorary whippet and pops up on the whippet discussion page from time to time
Emmy was brought into our RGT kennels by the dog warden who had found her straying and was dropping her off for a rest before taking her on to the pound. I know the pound in question is not a nice place AND puts dogs down :angry: I couldn't bear the thought of this little girl in kennels so, with Scruples support, offered to foster her while she did her seven days. If this had been any other day of the week I would have missed her as I only go to the kennels for a couple of hours a week - God knows what might have happened to her. Luckily the kind warden agreed to me fostering her and I found myself driving home with an extra whippet. We didn't have any idea of her real name so I quickly thought of Emmy (after Emmylou Harris, the singer) on the way home as a way of creeping round my husband who had been adamant that we were only having two dogs.
I put a notice on K9, Facebook and Dog Lost and of course the police and local dog wardens knew but no-one came forward and after seven days this gorgeous girl became ours legally as the warden signed her over to us. She is perfect for us - loves Roscoe and Grover and even loves Gus the cat :wub: Permission to keep her was granted by my OH in honour of my 40th birthday! She's a bit skinny and had some odd bruises and scratches. She cowered when I reached over her to stroke Ros, so I don't think she's had the best of times but she's safe now on her forever sofa)
