Greyhound Charity for the Holidays

There are so many greyhound charities out there - if you can't think of what to get that greyhound person in your life, or if you'd like to make a donation in memory of a greyhound [or person] for the holidays, these are the charities Evie recommends:

Royal Hounds - in memory of Tara and her brother Tigger, who both came through this group. In the Seattle WA area...

Lincolnshire Greyhound Trust - fabulous if you're in England! They've adopted over 120 greyhounds this year!

Guam Greyhounds - helping greyhounds from a track that closed with no warning get back to the US and into homes!

McGregor Greyhound Welfare Center - homing dogs from the Birmingham AL track in the southern US.

Evie doesn't need another coat or collar for the holidays this year. Giving that same amount of money to a group that can help another greyhound find a family is a great gift! Even giving up your Starbucks money for a week could put a homeless greyhound in a new coat/collar, give him a vaccine, or buy him a bag of kibbles for a month until he finds a new family. Think about it...

She was my friend and I will miss her terribly - love Evie

Spooky Halloween

Somewhat belated but here's Evie in her Halloween "costume." She was being somewhat coy about having her picture taken.



Last year, tons of candy = 1 kid. This year, one small bag of candy = 2 kids. Ok, getting the hint that there aren't any kids in my neighborhood. But the new walk-way at the house all lit up made it nice!
