NLGA License Plate Frame Advisory Message

Dear Dog Blog Readers,

NLGA have been informed our old style of license plate frames do not conform to Minn. State Statute that requires "all assigned letters and number to be completely visible. Any type of material, including clear and colorless material that affects the visibility or reflectivity of a license plate is illegal and could result in a fine."

Here is an example:

The old style of NLGA license plate frames have not been sold for over 10 years.  However, NLGA encourages everyone with a NLGA license plate frame to verify that your frame is legal to use in Minnesota (and other states).  NLGA encourages anyone with the old style license plate frame on their vehicle to remove it. NLGA will exchange your old license plate frame for a new one at no cost to you.

We are sorry for any inconvenience.
NLGA Board of Directors

Life with a Greyhound

Life With A Greyhound... (our personal list of FAQ's)

In only a matter of days, on December 16th, it will have been one whole year since that snow-stormy morning when Day stole our hearts and we became a family. We've had an incredible year and I am grateful for every single minute we have with this boy of absolute sweetness and love!

Being a Greyhounds mama, I've found, is not for the hopelessly shy. Or, maybe it is... maybe it's actually the best thing to have finally forced me out of my protective shell.  I have talked to more people in this past year than I maybe have in my entire life before adopting Day, but, I love that people are curious! I love that people are fascinated and excited to learn about Retired Racing Greyhounds in search of loving homes. And, I especially love that people want to meet Day and how they are thoroughly surprised and delighted at how he immediately leans into everyone he meets for a cuddly introduction. Days heart is open and has, in turn, opened me up to so many conversations with people I otherwise would never have had.
