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.
