New in town!!
Hello, my name is Kelly, I am 24 yrs old.
I live in Kentucky with my Fiancee Taylor, with our two Italian Greyhounds.
Gracie is 11 yrs old, fawn with white markings, very timid, we got her about a year ago from people who were gonna kill all three of their dogs if they didnt find them homes, because they were moving. It took her forever to come out of her shell, but the wait was well worth it. She is a total doll. Gracie Is afraid of new people, and surroundings, but has adjusted very well to a new home, loves her 'sister' and loves going to the dog park!! She DOES NOT like children, or loud noises. Poor thing had a rough life, but she is living it up now!! Gracie loves treats, sun spots, barking at people outside, and cuddling. She doesnt care too much for baths, but is well behaved through them, and is starting to learn how to play!!
Jetta is 8 yrs old, black with white markings, we got her from a rescue about 4 months ago, and she LOVES food. She even jumps onto the counter tops to get to any food that might be there! She was over weight when she came to live with us. She has lost some of that weight, but I would still like to see her lose a bit more. She doesnt like kids either. But will show aggression towards them if she feels threatened. So yes... she bites! So I keep her away from kids, and when people ask to pet her, I am hesitant, but depending on her mood, she will let some people pet her. Jetta also loves the dog park, hates wearing clothes, loves car rides, loves treats, hates the vacuum, and the broom. She also LOVES chasing cats, squirrels, birds, or what ever catches her eye.
I cant wait to share more stories with you about my silly girls!!

welocme and hope you enjoy yourself here. This now makes 3 of us who have 2 IG's each. Mine reside with 12 Miniature Pinscher, 3 Papillons and a German Pinscher. Charlie my red and white is like your fawn. Somewhat of a recluse and came to me through a friend who purchased him at 18 months old. They thought his shyness was due to new home but after nearly 2 years he never came out of it. I work with "special needs dogs" (many of mine came through rescue) and it took Charile about 7 months of working for him to finally hit the yard kicking up his heels and wanting to play.
Bella is a blue and white, like jetta she can be a bit nippy and also was overweight. She has slimmed down some. As for the cat issue, she has learned her lesson. I have 13 of which 11 are purebred Manx. My former breeding tom dictates the household thus the dogs have all learned abruptly that their chasing days are over.
Both of mine are now 5 and 5 1/2 years of age with Charlie being the older of the two.

WOW, you have a lot of fur babies. I wish I had the room for that many.
BTW, Blue is my favorite color on a dog, Iggy, Pit, Great Dane, doesnt matter!!
I love a blue!! The lady that did my Home visit from the IG rescue brought her blue boy along, I tried to convince her to just leave him...... didnt work!!
But I love my girls, and wouldnt take anything in their place. They are my old girls, I love em.
So, where is the other person owned by IGs??
I wanna see pics!!
