[Part I and Part II] We’re at the front door…. I put Dena’s muzzle on, which is akin to a Ballerina putting on toe shoes for a performance. Greyhounds wear muzzles when they are racing and when in strange environments for just those instances where best intentions don’t count. Dena & Elby, That Cat! Meet […]

[Part I] I salute you if you are still with me on Dena’s Diamond and her homecoming…. Anticipation Finding Dena’s Diamond was a circular staircase in itself. When Claire died May 13, there was no question but that I would be getting a new greyhound. I thought to take a month or two or six, […]
Time for an update on the newest member of the staff and family, Dena’s Diamond. She is delightful. We met on Saturday, June 8, 2013 at her foster home with her human Mama, Riff. To be greeted at the gate by four greyhounds is an experience not to be denied. These gorgeous creatures are always […]

We have made an offer, which has been accepted and will be meeting the newest member Saturday afternoon, with […]
Where do you stand on profiling? In the aftermath of 9/11, Boston Bombings, Sandyhook Elementary School Massacre, the outcry against guns (what type, who should be allowed to own one, how many bullets you can have in a magazine), airport screening, the argument about profiling always raises its ugly head. Proponents say it is necessary […]
