Unexpected Illness

Harmony skipped two meals in the last two days and sloooooowly ate her breakfast this morning. She’s also seemed a little bit off and being lazier than usual.

In Memoriam – Tame Game (Grandpa/Champ)

In Memoriam – Trips To Open (Elvis)

Elvis came into our lives 2 years ago. I was forwarded an email from a good greyhound friend about two seniors looking for a home because they were retiring from blood donor duties at a vet in Alabama. The group (all breed) placing them was being very particular about where they went. They had never [...]

In Memoriam – Andelisa (Erin)

Along came a girl who stole and broke my heart.  And for all the riches of the world I wouldn’t change any part.

When Erin joined our pack she wasn’t our first foray into seniors, she wasn’t even the oldest member of the pack.  Despite coming to us with only one tooth and a hole in [...]

Today, Ken and I knew it was time. Sweet Cas was ready to make that journey to the Bridge. So with sad hearts, we held her and kissed her and loved her as she crossed over…..
Casino started out life much like other greyhounds…getting to chase the bunny around the big oval. When [...]

Joining The Pack – Elvis

Elvis and Casino came into our home in much the same way: One day an email dropped into my inbox from a good friend who’s name also happens to be Heather. She’d been on a distro list asking for help for two senior greys that were retiring from blood donor duties at a vet clinic [...]

In Memoriam – Andrea Gayle (Annie)

Two and a half years ago a call went out on Greytalk to find a home for a senior girl.  Gil wasn’t with GPA Richmond at that time, but he was helping them find a home for this special girl.  Her name was Annie, she was 12 years old, and she was being returned by [...]

Forever Home – Pat C Dagger (Dagger)

Dagger came into our lives as a foster for Greyhound Crossroads. We were using the kennel to foster greyhounds off the track until they were adopted or moved into a traditional foster home. Dagger came in with a load of other greyyhounds from Sanford-Orlando. He was very sweet and reserved. Not too boisterous or overly [...]

Joining the Pack – Champ (Grandpa)

Greytalk. I blame it all on Greytalk. <grin> Those of you familiar with this online community of fellow greyhound lovers know what I’m talking about. The foster moms post pictures of their fosters and then a fellow Greytalker falls in love and has to adopt that hound! When Champ’s foster mom posted a picture of [...]
