They are so stinking cute. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into the early days of our hounds. Sometimes I think that the good people working in the industry get any credit for the love and care they give the dogs.Greyhounds Aren't Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11755602610550887510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775498794635026398.post-21920826055477728972015-01-07T06:43:52.598-08:002015-01-07T06:43:52.598-08:00Now that is quite the itinerary for a road trip.

I love that one. I'll have to post the pictures she took later.<br /><br />Raising racing greyhounds isn't even Gary's day job (he's a corn and soy farmer full-time): he does this on the side. I've read comments from others in the racing industry who know him who say he is very picky about who gets his dogs, and is hard on trainers who don't treat his dogs well like he treats them. Frankly, for how long their days are I'm not surprised that they don't really show much of what greyhound farm life is like: they just don't have the free time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359636171032965712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775498794635026398.post-27881882758361480472015-01-06T05:52:43.412-08:002015-01-06T05:52:43.412-08:00I'd have been in grave danger of leaving there...I'd have been in grave danger of leaving there with a puppy, although we've fostered Greyhound puppies before. They can be little demons in fur suits, but my gosh, are they ever adorable!
