Just wanted to give you an update on Donut. First of all, we are so in love with her! She is so loving and happy! She is settling in great. She's almost over her fear of hardwood floors (though we haven't tried the basement stairs yet!). Donut and Sandy get along well. We do think they recognized each other on some level - they were very interested in each other's scent for the first several days, as if trying to figure out why it was familiar. We can't thank you enough for all your help in getting Donut home to us. (Donut is Sandy's Momma!)

Here she is making herself at home with her new baby brother, Peanut.

"Tidbit is a four year old that never raced. She is/was the true definition of a "spook" hound. I took her in as a foster in April '13. All she wanted to do was
hide in a corner and was in flight mode pretty much 24/7. She hoards toys and freaks at any loud noise or fast movement. Over the months she opened up a little bit each week. Then around Thanksgiving I was knocked on my tush with a flu.
I was laying on the dog beds in the living room feeling death on a cracker when suddenly this little spooky girl came in from the bedroom carrying a stuffed toy.
She walked over to me, dropped it next to my head and then laid near me and
just watched. I knew then (feverish or not) that Tidbit was home...But the name had to go. Since she is a hound on the smaller size, Tidbit became "Lil'bit". She
still has her spook tendencies but is the first for a cookie, the first nose I have
to push away from the dinner plate and she HAS to sleep near me. As you can
see she loves her snuggle time with Daddyman. She is still a spook but
nowhere near as the spook when she came in as a foster."

Rich and I knew that we wanted to bring a special someone into our home when we got settled here in Arizona. We also knew that we wanted to adopt a pup from a shelter or rescue organization and after looking unsuccessfully for a few weeks I submitted an application to GPA. When asked what we were looking for we honestly didn't know what sex dog, or what age; I guess we would know when the right dog picked us. And so Pistol Pete, AKA Peter, came into our lives. From what I understand Pete made the rounds with a couple of other families before he settled in with us. He might not have been a good fit with those other folks, but he is our sunshine and smiles. I think after six months we still feel that we are the luckiest folks around- Peter is a humble happy-go-lucky clown, amazing athlete, and wears the title of Badass with the well earned pride of a very successful retired racing Greyhound.

Then we have the lovely and graceful Irish-American Princess K.C. As of now she is a lady of mystery, but we are fine with that. We aren't completely sure as to her age or background, but it seems that all we need to know is found in her large and expressive eyes. She caught my eye when I first saw her- she was a twin to Peter. K.C. came into our world when her old owners moved away and surrendered her to the GPA. I'm not sure of the circumstances of their decision but their loss is certainly our gain- within just a few days K.C. would greet me at the door like she was a young pup again. All she wants is what we all want- to be loved and accepted for ourselves, no questions asked. K.C. is a nurturer at heart, she tucks ME into bed at night by putting her head next to mine before lights out for an ear scratch and a smooch on her beautiful nose. She greets me in the morning much the same, and I know that having her for this day is a gift that she gives daily.

When you adopt a Greyhound you hear all the sayings, 'They are like potato chips- you can't have just one.' Or, "the 45 mph couch potato' and it all makes Greyhounds seem like 'regular' dogs. There really is nothing farther from the truth- to be able to bring a retired racer into your home is one of the most wonderful experiences there is. I think that each Grey that is adopted into a new home knows that they are lucky to have made it this far, to be given a real chance to live life like any other dog- but what they don't realize is that it is US, their human moms and dads that are the really lucky ones.

With much gratitude to you, John, Leah, and everyone at GPA for the work you do.
