Meet Hayley, our new dog! She's a beautiful, 2 yr old fawn colored retired racing Greyhound. We adopted her from the same adoption agency that placed Henry with us, the National Greyhound Adoption Program, located in Philadelphia PA. After two years in the racing circuit, she flew to Houston on a Continental flight, and she's found a permanent home with us. We are so happy with her!
Since Greyhounds have never lived in homes or with other humans prior to coming off the track, sometimes the transition into a new home can be challenging. But we have been very lucky with Hayley. Aside from her barking at her reflection in the mirror, she adjusted to life in a house beautifully and there have been no accidents in the house, thus far! She and the cat, Quincy, seem to tolerate each other quite well, which is a relief. She likes to be around people, and she follows us from room to room, just happy to be a part of he action.
Hayley is very smart and has learned a number of new tricks. Jeff taught her to fetch tennis balls (as you can see in the video) and she can sit on command too (a hard thing for Greyhounds to do). She loves spending time outside, chewing on her tennis balls, and going for walks with Greyson in his stroller. She's very gentle with Greyson, and he likes to pet her on her back. We're looking forward to the two of them growing up together.
Enjoy the 2 new pictures albums of Hayley and Greyson that we just put up on Picasa!
