After saying goodbye to their previous greyhounds, this family knew their hearts belonged to the breed. Two years ago, they welcomed Reva and Elton John into their lives, rekindling the joy only greyhounds can bring.
We had two greys several years ago and had to let them go over the rainbow bridge at 14 years old each. It broke my heart and I knew it would be a long time until we would be ready to bring home more dogs. But we knew if we ever did it would be greyhounds and it would be two of them again.
A Perfect Pair
Reva's sweet face captured their hearts immediately, and her bond with Elton, fostered together at Jesse's, made them an ideal pair. Though not the brindles they envisioned, these two black beauties were perfect.
It has been two years now that we brought Reva and Elton John into our family. I saw Reva first and I knew she was the one I wanted, she had such a sweet face. Elton was being fostered with her at Jesse’s and since they got along so well we knew they were a good pair. I’ve always wanted a brindle dog but these two black beauties stole our hearts.
Life with Reva
Reva remains as sweet and affectionate as ever. Known for her charming grumbles, she adores belly rubs and seeks attention whenever she can.
Reva is pretty much the same as when we first brought her home. She is the sweetest. She loves her belly rubs and any attention she can get. She is so funny, she will be laying down and start to groan and moan. I call it grumbling. She wants our attention most of the time.
Elton's Transformation
Initially reserved, Elton has grown more comfortable over time. Once particular about his space, he now enjoys affection and often rubs his face on his humans, showing his gentle side.
Elton was a little more reserved at first he likes having his space he didn’t like his backside or his feet touched and would give a soft growl. He has gotten used to it and he’s doing much better with it now. He lets us sit next to him and pet him without fussing now. He is getting to where he wants just as much attention as Reva. He likes to come rub his face on us, it is so sweet.
Spoiled and Loved
Reva and Elton have free rein in the house, favoring the comfort of the bed. They relish car rides, especially when a DQ pup cup is involved.
They are both really spoiled. They have the run of the house. But they like our bed the best. They love their car rides and they just know if they’re going for a ride that there will be a DQ pup cup before the end of it.
Gratitude to Greyt Angels
The family expresses deep gratitude to Greyt Angels for bringing Reva and Elton John into their lives, making them complete once again.
Thank you Greyt Angels for letting us be their humans.
