Adopted a Greyhound
 

As some may know we had to place Pepper, our Dalmation, down, she was just shy of 17 years of age. It has been 5 weeks and 2 days since her passing and quite frankly it has been rough. Karen looked into the Greyhound rescue chapter here in Idaho and we met and adopted "Blaze" today. Blaze aka "Able To Blaze" was raced for 4 1/2 years in Florida. He was retired three weeks ago. He is still pretty thin as I can see all of his ribs. He sure is fast. Here are some pictures. Blaze is a red Brindle in coat color.

Pepper will always be missed but I know we can give Blaze a great home!

Thats a great thing you guys did. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif We would be lost without our 2 Jack Russels and we know what it means to have to put one down. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

As I have said before to others, thank you so much for adopting your dog. There are so many good dogs out there that just need a place to call home. Your new dog looks like he has aready found his.

Thanks again!!

Every Greyhound should retire this way, they deserve it. Well done and make sure you "air him out" every now and then. They love to run fast

Spoiled Dog? Hey, I thought that's why we have them.

Maddie isn't exactly a rescue dog, she just wandered into the yard one day as a fat little puppy and adopted us. She's been with us almost nine years now. I wonder why she stays around? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Sometimes, if I behave myself, she lets me share her couch.

That's a good thing you've done Greg. The Greyhound rescue and placement organization is tops in my book. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif
