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!
