boopieface Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) The last few years that the tracks in Massachusetts were open they had a big Greyhound Pet Expo. The last year they had the Expo, we bid in a Silent Auction. The prize was the opportunity to name a race dog and to have first "dibbs" on adopting the dog when it retired. Well, we won. We named the dog Aljo Atomic Kogo (Aljo was the kennel and Kogo is the name our friends call us - long story). Atomic retired and came up to Massachusetts on Linda Jensen's last haul. He is doing really well. He is smart and ignores Berry when she growls at him. OK, I know the rules, here he is!
