Woman gave up job to knit sweaters for abandoned greyhounds

a previous co-worker of mine has retired Greys and volunteers with GPA -Greyhound Pets of America- a national ex-racer resource/rescue agency.
Her Greys used to come in the holistic pet supply shop where I worked.
She had two elderly sweeties and they often came in wearing coats and paw boots in the Fall/Winter.

They are really gentle souls.
 
Not exactly the same thing but kind of funny. Last night, TCS and I watched a Ma and Pa Kettle movie. In the movie, their pregnant hound ate a bowl of spaghetti but the yarn from the dog's sweater got mixed up with it. The yarn kept unravelling, and the dog continued eating, yarn and spaghetti together. At the end of the movie, the little boy discovered the hound had given birth. She had a litter of puppies wearing little sweaters, the pattern same as the one that she had been wearing when she ate the yarn! :lol:

I forgot all about Ma and Pa Kettle movies ! That had to been cute to see.

@dogmmom I saw a greyhound visiting residents at a nursing house , the residents love it when dogs come to see them . They are sweet dogs .

There is a lady who walks her two greyhounds not far from where I live and on my way to work. They are adorable in their red sweaters ! :)
 
Greyhounds often make great therapy dogs:)

Yeah, I bet they are, AC!

After about a year with our very first Rottie girl - she was about a year and 1/2 around then - we started looking for a second dog <this was before the kidney disease diagnosis in my girl>
One of the things we did was apply for an ex-racer. We went to an adoption facility off a track and considered a sweet young male. We ultimately chose a less physically fragile dog in comparison < a Lab> as our second dog, who we thought would better be matched with a young, body-slamming Rottie <Greys also have paper-think skin that tears easily>.

That store employee I mentioned before knew most of the Greyhound people <and their dogs> who came into the store. I always enjoyed seeing more Greys:D

Yeah sadly there is dog racing in USA , this was banned in my state , I voted against it. I knew a woman that had greyhounds and her dogs never sat down b/c they had a advice put on their rear end that gave the dog a shock every time they tried to sit down in their crate . The poor dogs were to afraid to sit even when the device was no longer on their rear ends . :(
