Years later this is still so true.

(If you know the author, please let me know) ========= On the first day, God created the Greyhound. On the second day, God created man to serve the Greyhound. On the third day, God created the animals of the Earth to serve as potential food for the Greyhound. On the fourth day, God created honest toil so that man could labor for the good of the Greyhound. On the fifth day, God created the tennis ball so that the Greyhound could or could not retrieve it. On the sixth day, God created veterinary science to keep the Greyhound healthy and the man broke. (AMEN!!!) On the seventh day, God tried to rest, but he had to walk the Greyhound…… (Unknown author) On the eighth day, God believeth that He was done, but Lo! The Garden of Eden was full of Greyhound poop and craters. Adam & Eve, having been banished from the garden, no longer dwelleth therein to serve the Greyhound, so it came to pass that He had to clean the mess up Himself. And God was displeased. On the ninth day, God sayeth unto the Heavens, “Who hath dominion here, me or the Greyhound? On the tenth day, God came upon the Greyhound cockroached on His throne and abideth there unmoving, despite all His beseeching. And so it came to pass that God had his answer. He then sayeth unto Moses, “Fine! You’re in charge now. Here’s my ten commandments. You deal with the Greyhound! I’m retiring to Miami Beach! And Moses convinced the Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of bondage in Egypt and journey to the Promised Land. God sayeth unto Moses, “The Promised Land shall be yours, but you must take the Greyhound with you. And so it came to pass that the Israelites wandered for 40 years in the wilderness, waiting for the Greyhound to go potty, mark every bush and sniff every blade of grass in its domain. And the Greyhound was fruitful and multiplied. The people were taken by the comliness and manner of the Greyhound, but they were sorely distressed. “Lord” they cried out, “The Greyhound is an attractive and sweet creature, but there are so many, what shall we do?” And God sayeth unto the people, “Ye are a cursed people and shall be known as adopters! Thy yards shall be barren of grass. Thy dwellings shall overflow with dog beds, squeaky toys and Greyhound kitsch. Thy carpets shall be forever stained. Thy vet bills shalt be large and thy lives forever ordered around by the Greyhound. And thy minds shall be muddled, as thou shalt treat thy Greyhounds as thy do your human offspring.” And Adopters begat Chippers. And Chippers begat Fosters. And Fosters begat Adoption Groups. And Adoption Groups begat Discussion Lists. And Discussion Lists begat Gatherings. And Gatherings begat Vendors. And Vendors begat a wardrobe for the Greyhound. And the Greyhound was spoiled. God looked down on this and was pleased. (Author unknown)

Anyone else have a greyhound that is a morning dog and then a total grump once the sun goes down?

Greyhound data January registrations added. 110 new dogs.

Only because of all the hot air coming out of Tallahassee

A number of people have asked me how to help Gillian and memorialize her angel pack members.

After consultation with a close friend of hers, it is WAY too early to ask Gillian, please make a donation to GGA (Gillians Greyhound Adoption) in the kids names to her group. That group is her life’s work and as everyone knows she does an awesome job with hard to place dogs.

Please Please Please if you are local to her area or in the Wheeling WV area, please please please offer to foster if you have it in you. Gillian has lost her core pack. It is going to be very difficult for her to continue with some of the tougher to foster/place dogs without a strong pack. And, it takes a while to build a strong pack.

When most of us are building a pack for years to come we always bring in a new greyhound into the pack before you risk loosing the older pack members, this is how packs remain pretty constant over the years, the existing dogs will teach the new dogs manners. Gillian has lost her strong pack, all unexpectanty over the last year, and suddenly yesterday.

Please consider donating to her group in her Angel Pack’s names.

ggreyhoundadoptions@gmail.com

is the PayPal address. If you do not use PayPal please give it a few days and send a note to the above address for options. Please do not ask me, I don’t know.

If you can’t donate, please share this.

Lighting these virtual candles for my Friend Gillian Lee and her angels: Angel Wally Lee, Angel Utopia Lee, and Pawcationer Slick.
