Happy 13.5th birthday to lovely Lila!!!!

No Faux pas on Santa's part. This year was all about sweet Dustin. Dudley took it upon himself to enjoy the eggplant.

Sweet Specky

Dear Secret Santa, it iz me, Dustin. Ah had a reel hard year losing mAh brudder, JJ, but da package you sent me brawt lots of smiles.smiles. Santa, this is Dustin's mama. The gift pack was just beautiful. We absolutely love the tree ornament. Dustin's new daddy was so touched at the thoughtfulness of the gifts. And Dustin did share the little purple eggplant with his little brother Dudley who really liked it! Dustin laid quiet and happy with his pink bear

Yup...creepy....Good houndie!!!!

I got Dustin at two - and he had run three schooling races. At the same time, I got JJ who was three and raced a lot. Dustin was as quiet as a mouse - and JJ was a ball of life....so I think it's just the hound....and for full disclosure, I am in proceedings for adopting a lightly raced two year old right now!!!

I lost a dog to EPI last year - and it was awful watching him starve. Hopefully with PLE they can contain it for him....Many prayers to you.

Dear Santa and elves Our tree is not the kind that can sit on shelves It is on the floor and six feet or more That is unless it topples at the paws of a little black kitty Oh my, that would be such a pity.

That’s great. I will let you know.... thank you so much!

Hi everyone....as many of you know, my JJ passed away. My new husband had fallen head over heels and wanted badly for us to find a new hound with blood lines as close as possible, we knew this might be tough given JJ was almost 12 and his daddy had passed as well. With the help of Chris Grieb who suggested that I use the second offspring line from greyhound data, I found a small litter of two year olds. There was a male and female tuxedo black. I reached the trainer with help from Chris and Shelly Lake, and they agreed to let us adopt Harold once he was done racing, We weee so excited that we went out to West Virginia to meet him and fell in love. Sadly, two year old Harold passed away Unexpectedly...non race related.,,just a horrible fluke. The trainer was wonderful and asked if we were interested in his sister, Harleigh. Of course we jumped at the chance. Two weeks later, they decided that she would not continue racing. We got word today that the owner released her for us to adopt! so, here’s the request...we can get pretty easily from Rhode Island to Harrisburg next week. We will go out and get there Friday night. Is there anyone out there...or a few people who could help get her from Wheeling to Harrisburg. We have to come home Saturday night, so saving that extra three and a half hours each way would help us immensely... Thnals to all in GT for being such a great bunch of people.

Wow. I am telling Kevin the story! Seems like yesterday. We were all following on pins and needles.

Santa, dear Santa Claus, My little boy with the pretty white paws Likes treets and chewies, - peenut butter flavored is something that he really loves, pleez. But he will be happy just to be thought of at all and he will gladly share with his puppy brother who is not as tall.... We will PM you! Likes

Somehow missed this - and then couldn't PM you for some reason! So awesome you are doing this. Dustin will play next year, God willing!

I did two at once with my JJ and Dustin. JJ just passed nine years later. They were the best of friends...wouldn't have changed a thing. Mine, too, came straight from the kennel with no adoption prep.

Look at beautiful Dippy!!! And Beautiful Whiskey....

Trying to add a picture, but not having great luck...will work on it...:)

I love those two pictures! She looks as good now - if not better!!!!

So beautiful!!!!

I assume someone may have posted this already - but what a great story for our breed! http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/good-news/from-racetrack-to-hospital-how-1-greyhound-is-changing-lives-of-sick-kids/ar-BBRLmi4?ocid=ientp

Welcome! Never hesitate to ask questions...just shows you care and are concerned. My JJ was fascinated with his reflection - and 8 years later still is! I think he just thinks that he's hot looking. I think you are doing right by the pee situation. My Dustin was just two when I got him - and was a sensitive soul - so I like what you are doing with the touch stuff and don't think he's too young for that at all. I'll defer to others for the other questions! Best of luck. By the way - rules are that we need pictures!

I'm so sorry.....

Best wishes for full recovery. BTW, adorable pic - and hysterical photobomb of the "maniacs'....

Glad to hear he had a better day!!! Patience does wonders with these guys.

I wish I had advice - but just can send prayers.
