A few Greyhounds in my time

Hi,

I was just sitting here and remembering how I got interested in Greyhounds. I lived across the street from a family that had a Greyhound. It ran free in the neighborhood and was just the sweetest thing. At first the way he kinda swung around the hood made me uneasy, but when he came up to me he was just so sweet and gentle. I never really thought much about him because he was the neighborhood dog.

Several years later, I was at a parade in Mooresville, Indiana, and again ran into a BUNCH of Greyhounds. They were with Greyhound Companions of Indiana (now since shutdown). I saw a pretty girl there named Agatha and just fell in love with her. She was she softest dog and so sweet. Her coat was a dark brindle and she had a black face. She was just so sweet. I had been wanting a dog for years and filled out an application to adopt Agatha that day. A few weeks went by and I was able to adopt her. She was 8 at the time. I only had a couple of years with Agatha but she taught me to love the breed and become passionate about them. I eventually adopted Snowflake and we all went around to meet and greets telling everyone about the breed.

Agatha made it to 10 years old and in those two years enriched my life more than I could tell you. Snowy lived to be 12 and was my best friend. If you were ever wanting a true companion I would encourage you to look into adopting a Greyhound....you will NEVER regret it.
