rebeccamcl Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Hi everybody! I only learned about this forum when I was getting ready to move to Virginia Beach (maybe because I didn't have a home computer?). My retired racer, Davis, found his forever home on 9/15/2007. He had broken his leg racing at Dairyland Track in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He spent 2 months in foster care, before I got to fall in love with him (love at first site, of course!). I adopted him through Greyhound Pets of America - Wisconsin, because for the last 7 years I have lived in Madison, Wisconsin. We just moved to VA about a week ago. I have been unemployed for several months, and my sister who lives in VA Beach has a spare bedroom. Even though she has never had a dog in her house, she graciously invited both of us to move in with her and her husband until I can find work and get myself established down here. Hurray for sisters! They have a second comuter, in my bedroom, that has internet access, and Have I been enjoying searching all the greyhound websites! About my main man: he is a black, 4-year-old male who often gets mistaken for an elderly gentleman, as his muzzle has gone grey early. His broked leg has healed well, and he loves to play chase with other dogs at the dog parks. He is so fun to watch. He acts goofy sometimes ( so then I call him Goofus), and sometimes he will just leap up and race in a circle or figure-8 just for the sheer joy of running.Fortunately, I have found a couple that are not far from where my sister lives, and we have been going almost daily since I fould them. Needless to say, he brings a lot of joy to my life. As for me, the less important party, I enjoy the outdoors. I used to do some canoeing, but not lately. I like taking walks and day hikes in state parks and forests. I also enjoy reading and working puzzles. I attempt crossowrd uzzles, and am OK at cryptoquips and sudoku, and like to try other word games on occasion. Hope this isn't TMI.....

Unfortunately, the CD-rom on the computer I'm using has been disabled...may be a while before I can pictures of my guy.
