Good-bye old friend.

Leslie and I are into adopting retired racing greyhounds, as we believe we can make a difference, as between 20,000 to 25,000 greyhound are euthanized each year. So we try to do our part by reducing that number.

Anyway, our good friend Kibo died back in July while we were in Africa. He was a great dog, loads of fun to play with, and he loved everybody he met. So I was rummaging through some photographs today, and thought I would post a photo of him. We would take out all of the retired greyhounds that had been adopted each Sunday morning, and let them run around a closed in soccer field. They have a blast. We put muzzles on them, because they are very competitive, and that is what they are used to. It is also to protect them, because if you have one over agressive dog, a small bit wound can turn out to be a big deal on a dog that doesn't have much fat to protect himself/herself.

Anyway, we are adopting our next greyhound next weekend. He is a beautiful brendel, and we are looking for African names for him right now.
