I found this very interesting! It is a link off the website for First State Greyhounds where you can look up your pooch and see the racing career, sibling and other relatives and some even have pictures! Here is our Ivy

Friday we picked Syd up from camp. She spent 5 nights there and LOVED it. she can hardly wait to go again next year. She went to a program called princess and pony :)
Sunday the 20th was my "baby" Katie's fifth birthday. Kindergarten, here we come!
What do you mean "why the long face?" I am waiting for cakes!

This celebration is taking too long to get started!
and I'm getting sleepy!
Katies (pink) 5th birthday cake
Happy Birthday Kay! July 20,2003!
Don't I get cakes?

Ivy's bed is her favorite place to hang. She is super silly when she sleeps on it.


This one is my favorite. See her sticking out her tongue? LOL

Ivy gets some cuddle time with Kay. I told Kay not to get too close to Ivy's face because, since she is new we don't know if she likes it. Well Ivy kept snuggling closer and closer. She doesn't seem to mind :)
Ivy will just get as close as she can and put her face up on you if you let her :)

I still need to get our trip to Cape Cod posted to the blog, however, I couldn't wait to post our new arrival. As many of you know, our dear friend Tonka passed away last Halloween. We still miss her very much but finally started to feel ready to have a new dog in our lives. We began the process to adopt an adult Greyhound from a great organization called First State Greyhound (http://www.firstgreys.org/). We had seen them at the PA renn fair with their beautiful hounds and long before we lost Tonka we had talked about a greyhound being our next dog.

So after we passed the application process and home visit we were lucky enough to be chosen to have Ivy. She is 10 times sweeter then she looks in the pictures and is already well loved. Syd got to meet and spend the day with her, she is away for 5 days at Girl Scout camp this week (I miss her!). But as you will see from the pictures she helped to welcome her new girl first!

The sign says" its a girl (dog)"
