The New Life

8/12/99

Here is just one of the many stories to be told about a greyhound's new life after leaving the track. Hi, my name is Nodak Glen. I don't really know my name but that's what people keep calling me. I use to work all the time at the track. But now I live in a big crate with people and another Greyhound. To get in the big crate I have to climb a steep hill with steps. That was hard at first, but I picked it up quick. I get a nice soft place to sleep. This is where I spend most of my day now. After spending a couple of days here, I had to go to another big crate with a lot of other dogs and other little furry things. Different people kept poking me and took a part of my body off, but otherwise they were nice. I don't seem to like the girls as much as I used to. That's cool because now I get to sleep more. : 8 ) -George (Interpreter)

A Great Awareness Clinic

3/13/99

We had a good Awareness Clinic this week. Easy's new parents came for a visit and brought the grandparents as well. Mom was extremely happy and could not wait to get him home the following week. I can remember the anticipation of my greyhound's arrival. It was exciting and the wait was nerve racking. It was a busy clinic, plenty of new prospective parents came to get information on these amazing dogs. Shoppers in the Ballston Spa Agway were also curious and stopped by for a look and a hello. We were all happily tired at the end of the day. Future an Bing were tired as well. What did you expect, their greyhounds. They drop like rocks in no time, usually in a soft spot but anywhere near their loved ones will do. Don't you just want to kiss them all over? -George
