For many years, I have always made it a priority to log on to all the greyhound groups I could and talk for hours with others about our hounds. But then, it seemed like things were fading away from me. Facebook became popular as well as instagram and twitter. My days of exploring, talking with great folks dwindled. Many of my friends left the greyhound forums due to either not owning greyhounds anymore, or decided that FB was the way to go.
I am guilty of following that path.. Forgetting where I started at. Life threw it's curve ball my way, and it seemed that I have been treading water ever since.
We are down to 1 greyhound now. Many groups in my area have folded. It has become virtually impossible to adopt a greyhound anymore. My heart breaks... I have always envisioned that my home would be filled with at least 2 or three greys forever...
I miss the days going to West VA to work on the farms. I miss the days where many friends did nothing but talk greyhound. Remember when we had the chat button on greytalk? I would spend hours talking with Charlie (God rest his soul) and Jester. And many more great people. I learned so much from all of you.
I cant say I will be a frequent member on this forum. My life seems to get busier and busier anymore. But I will try and make the effort.
From my home to yours... Have a wonderful Holiday! Enjoy your family. hug your hounds...
Best,
