Arrival Story:
We first learned about the greyhounds many years ago. When we lost our first dog, we remembered the greyhounds. It just so happened that a relatively new adoption group (parent organization - Greyhound Pets of America) was active in our area and we met them at a Meet and Greet. We now have two greyt dogs.
Bio:
Jack came to us from the Caliente track. His race name was Itis; his foster name was Albus Dumbledore. Though he won a couple of races, he wasn't too dependable. We think he just ran to the sidelines where someone was standing with a hot dog or other food.
Jack has a pretty big overbite which makes him all the more adorable and special. He loves people and is a natural for working at Meet and Greets.
Jack was diagnosed with Discoid Lupus in 2005. The really weird thing is that his mom has the same thing! No one knows what causes this autoimmune disease, but it isn't contagious. We now share the sun block when going outside.
Jack loves walks but when we take him to a dog park to really run, he usually just runs over to the other dog owners so they can pet him. We call him the Attention Hound. At night he gets "Happy Feet" which is what we call his bursts of energy. He runs all over the house, tosses his toys around, chases our other greyhound, and is simply goofy. After about five minutes, he is back on his bed asleep. Such is the life of a 45 mph couch potato. Read about his pedigree at http://www.greyhound-data.com/d?i= 384363.

Mom took me and Madison to the annual Santa Paws event at the Sacramento SPCA. Some of the volunteers remembered me from last year and came by to visit. Everyone who meets me remembers me by my overbite. They say it is cute! I didn't like the yellow couch being used for the pictures, maybe that is why I could not relax and show off for the camera. Madison was a real pro for her first time.

It was bad enough living with one sister, but this having two of them is a bit much at times. They run all over the place and leave toys everywhere. I found out that going into Sonia's crate is the best place to be when the girls are playing. Mom and Dad think I look so cute in the crate. I am a cute boy!

Having the two young girls in the house can be exhausting for an old dog! I found out that I could hang out in Calla's crate and no one would bother me! Sometimes Mom gives me some "lap" time to make up for all the attention the girls get. I get to snuggle up with her on the couch. I do have fun running with Madison and Callain the yard, boy are they fast! Then I take a very long nap.
