We were out doing our weekend shopping today and swung by PetCo to pick up some dog food (Our dogs love Nutro) and let our niece, Brook, take a look at some of the critters. Imagine our happy surprise to find a greyhound rescue group hanging out introducing people to greyhounds.

I know that there are a lot of greyhounds out there that need adoption simply because of their use as racing dogs. Once the dogs reach an age where they can no longer perform they are sent on their way. I think its great that American Greyhound has been able to step up and help. We got to meet with Carol, the Goshen Events Coordinator and she mentioned a great program where the greyhounds did time in prison. Or maybe it was a work release program, maybe we can get her to come by here and explain it better.

I have a huge soft spot for dogs. Doesn’t everyone? Maybe I have a bit more of a spot for greyhounds because one of my favorite old dogs, Jaba, was part grey and he was just a blast to watch run when we turned him out in the horse pastures. He was hand’s down the fastest dog I have ever lived with. If you can afford to donate, please head over and make a donation, I’m sending a check on Monday. If you are looking to adopt, or even foster, greyhounds make great family dogs.

And if you happen to be looking for a nice piece of greyhound jewelry, we have a few items in our greyhound section. I’m looking for more and hoping to find some greyhounds that aren’t in full race gear. If you use the coupon code A102L an extra 5% is set aside for American Greyhound and you get a 5% instant discount. How cool is that?
