I am in the process of filling out the adoption papers
I would be very interested in hearing from anyone in
Arlington, Va. who has adopted a Greyhound. I would
like to know if you know of a fenced in place in
Arlington to run a Greyhound. A good many of the ball
fields I have scouted out have "No Dogs Allowed" signs
posted. So if anyone knows of a place please drop
me a line.
Thanks

We're a three Greyhound family - Amber, 12, Carrera, 9, and Joy, almost 4. We're always on the lookout for information that will help our senior, Amber, have a longer and healthier life. She is in pretty good health, but tires eas
ily and sometimes gets a little confused. It's getting to be more of a challenge to get her to eat a reasonable amount of food. She's happy and always enthusiastic about going places and having visitors. We didn't adopt her until she was 10 1/2, so we'
re unsure of a big piece of her past, and of what care she had previously. Any advice on seniors is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I have a 5 yr. old female fawn color named Lacey Love. She loves her love seat but seaks naps on the living room sofa during the day. I know because the throw pillows are on the floor. I take her once a week to a local baseball fi
eld. She runs about 2 laps in a circle then she is ready to frolic and play frisbee. She came from the Sanford Track outside of Orlando, Fl. I adopted her thru The National Greyhound Foundation in Homosassa, Florida. Have a Greyt Day.

We Adopted a greyhound last June. She is by far THE BEST pet we have ever owned. For those of you who think a greyhound is not suitable with cats, think again. Molly (a two year old retired racer) is more afraid of the cats than
they are of her! She is as smart as a whip and just as fast. Although I must say she spends a good portion of her day sleeping. It's hard to be in a bad mood when she's around. She has an uncanny instinct for lifting ones spirit. For any one who is in
terested in adopting one, think no more! Don't delay. Go out and do something good. Adopt a Greyhound!

Though I haven't officially adopted a greyhound through this organization, I do have one of the most lovable
greyhounds that any owner could ever have. His name is Eagle. He's 2 1/2 years old [born 8/22/94], a light brindle
in color, loves R&R as well (or as much as) food. I adopted him through the Dairyland Racetrack Adoption Program in
Kenosha, WI. Glad to see so many others in this book with similar interests in greyhounds.

GPA in Lakeside California helped us meet Miss Phoebe, a white and black female, who came to live with us in July. True to the T-shirt slogan, we couldn't have just one. Mr. Kirby, a black male, moved in with us in December, 96.
Miss Phoebe loves perfume and rubs on the carpet in the spot I stood to put it on in the morning. Mr. Kirby is a collector and comedian. We've discovered that the amount of black determines how much mischief they are prone to get into. Anyone else dis
cover hair color predicts behavior? LOL LOL

two years for show & tell. As soon as the kids start petting him he lays down so there is more
to pet. :-) All of the kids in 2nd grade love him! My daughter can't wait to make him
a 4-H project when she gets older. We are really glad we found Friday.

we adopted a blue brindle female, who just came off the track. She'll
be ready in about two weeks and we can't wait to get here. The family has
been involved with Greyhounds for about 2 years now and we love it. I wish we'd
gotten involved sooner however, better late than never. Since we love greyhounds

Hi everybody! This is my second "mark" on your guestbook. I still like and appreciate very much your site.
I'm owned by a little Italian Greyhound but I would like to be owned also by a big one.
Here in Italy dog races aren't allowed so we don't have retired dogs; we can only buy puppies from breeders.
But I would like to SAVE a gh so, if anybody knows a place in Europe where I can find one of them, please email me!
Thank you so much in advance!
Keep on with the good work!!!!!!!! :)

WE love our "Taz". He's the coolest dog. We adopted him
thru the Colorado Greyhound Companions. I enjoy him so
much that I volunteer my time to the greyhounds. One day
last summer the CGC held a greyhound reunion day. It was
the very first reunion we ever have been to and we really
enjoyed it.And to our surprise, and which is very rare
we met Taz's sister. We talked and the more we talked we
were really shocked to even think it could be true so
we compared the tatooes in their ears and they were 2 pups
apart. And that just made my day. But I didn't take my
camera, but next reunion I will. I thought that I would
share my little experience with the greyhound world. In
my opinion, the greyhounds are the BEST.You will be saving
a life of a greyhound and gain a great companion.

in touch with a few who have helped so us much. It is great to have a place to go for help. Laraine and family are adjusting well, and this is a first time dog family.
QUESTIONS-- 1. Any suggestions for improving a sloppy eater? 2. Any suggestions for a Vet with gh experience in Camden County New Jersey?
Again, thank you to all who helped in our decision. Now we understand why everyone loves these dogs sooo much!!

A few weeks ago I asked you good folks for info on problems and rewards and idiocyncratic behaviors of adopted retired racing greyhounds for the purpose of developing a major greyhound character for a series of novels. I had many w
onderderful responses and thank everyone who took the time to reply. Through a series of events I do not understand, I lost most of my hard drive a few days ago, including my greyhound files. I have the most important stuff in my head however. Do have
a couple of further questions. Many of you mentioned that your "owners" sleep on their back with their legs "straight up in the air." Are the legs fully extended, or folded at the joints. Also, my former neighbor's greyhound (who got me inerested in th
e first place) was a "collector." He seemed to choose underneath the dining room table as "his place." He collected items from throughout the house to "decorate" his place. For example, he delicately plucked a strawberry off a kitchen counter and took
it off to his place. He didn't eat it, he just kept it there. I this typical? Thanks again for your help.

ompanionship so we adopted Dio, a 4 yr old black, abandoned AKC Greyhound. They are the best of friends now, except at bedtime, as they try to figure out who will sleep on the favorite bed. Their beds are identical except that the favorite bed happens t
o be whichever one is closest to the back door. We love our new friends, but we will always treasure the memory of Windy, our first Greyhound, who passed away about 6 months ago.

still in the "considering a Greyhound" phase. We got
CHEYENNE (a red brindle) on Nov 16, '96 and I'm still kicking
myself for waiting so long!! What a GREAT FAMILY MEMBER he has
become!
For those of you concerned about small children, cats, and
other dogs, we had the same concerns. Cheyenne has been
exposed to all of them (including one kid that clearly falls
into the "brat" category) and handled himself as a gentleman
at all times!

I decided to start the new year off by going online. As a "mother" of 2 retired hounds, what better place to start exploring than greyhound info. What a find!! I am still trying to figure out the ins and outs of the web eyc., but ha
ve come a long way with the "pups", Roc, a 5 year old boy and his very shy girlfriend, Sonya, who is 4 and change. Love them passionately and can not even imagine life without them now. And to think, when we met them we were stocking up on cat food an
d had no intention of adopting a dog, much less a big dog. Ammazing how small they can make themselves! For any of you with concerns about space, we live in a townhouse with the cats and these two snuggle bunnies. It works fine.. so do not let "space"
or lack thereof be a deterent. Just have lots of love in your heart and give these marvelous creatures a home. I was excited to see so many Atlanta addresses in the list. Always open for a connection with other greyhound owners. My husband and I live i
n Decatur. Both our dogs came from Adopt A Greyhound and we will always be grateful to all the support from Carl and Judy as we figured out there was really nothing so difficult in sharing our home with these guys. Happy new Year. Its time for the dog
s bedtime cookies. Just learning the email thing, so suggestions are welcome in that realm too.

Our family is the proud owner of 3 retired greyhounds. We have two males: Jack, who is a five year old black brindle, Leroy, who is a 3 year old black/white dog, and one female, Char Christian, who is a four year old red brindle.
We started out with Christian and grew from there. They are the best dogs we have ever owned. If I lived on a farm, we would own many more.

We adopted Bonita, a beautiful brindle female, two years ago. She has given us nothing but love. We call her our lovehound. She loves to go for walks, and chase squirrels in the backyard, but mostly she wants our love and affecti
on. She has caught nine squirrels and three rabbits in the backyard. She lives with a cat named Minnie, and now shares us with our newborn son, Benjamin. She was quite interested in Ben when he first came home from the hospital, but now seems to unders
tand he is a part of the family. I am sure she will become his protector from the mail carrier, UPS delivery person, and paper delivery person.

I can't wait till my husband and I buy a house, because
I want to have a backyard so I can adopt a greyhound.
I met my first one, when I was taking my dog to nursing homes through
a pet therapy program. The greyhound was gentle and well behaved as well as beautiful.
My dog who loves people more than dogs (she rather hang out with humans),
she liked the greyhound because they didn't jump on her
or try to h*mp her. I think a greyhound would be the perfect dog for my husband
and I as well as our dog. i always try to save animals when I can and I think
saving a greyhound would be the ultimate
