James - From what I can tell, the dogs are overnighting in Maryland. Final leg of the journey tomorrow.<br /><br />Jackie - I've been surprised by the dedicated group of volunteers. These people are all so passionate about greyhounds!<br /><br />Staci - I was so happy to see her picture! Really wanted a fawn-colored dog, but just specified female and let them find the right match.<br /><br />Book Psmith - We have been dogless for several years.. we're all busting with the excitement of finally having another dog!<br /><br />Amy - Thanks! I think she has the most wonderful expression on her face - we all fell in love with the picture. It's sad to think how many of these dogs are destroyed once their career is over.<br /><br />Lezlie - We can't wait to meet her! I'm sure there will be plenty of pictures and stories to follow...<br /><br />Molly - Thanks! We are so happy to be welcoming another dog into the family... at long last.<br /><br />Wendy - I thought the name was great, too! As soon as I heard it, I knew this was going to be a good match. Then we saw the photo and fell in love. Plenty of pictures will be coming...<br /><br />Carolsnotebook - The volunteers are all so passionate about these dogs - none of this would be possible without them!<br /><br />Sandy - I was thinking of you when they told me the dogs were coming from Orlando. Who knows, they could have been fostered in your neighborhood! We can't wait to meet her!<br /><br />Fleurfisher - I am in awe of what the foster 'parents' need to teach the dogs. They have never even seen stairs before, often bump into clear glass doors, etc.... so many things we take for granted!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-7365616658338964702010-05-21T20:36:24.056-04:002010-05-21T20:36:24.056-04:00JoAnn, she is a beauty.
