My mom says I'm a big, beautiful, white couch potato and lovebug. I'm a 2 year old retired racing greyhound.
My parents decided that greyhounds would be a perfect fit for their family since we are pretty lazy in the house, and don't
require a ton of excersize. In addition, we're pretty docile creatures, and once we've adjusted to retirement, we make
really nice pets. I weigh in at a nice 80 lbs, but you wouldn't know it when I'm curled up like a small dog on the couch.
My half brother-Aaron was also adopted through GEGR, and we met my half sister-Rita and her mom when we went to Greyhounds
in Gettysburg in April. I'm a velcro dog, meaning that I love to be with my people, specifically Jack. You know,
that kid is really good for getting extra food. When Jack isn't doing anything or is sleeping, I can usually be found
right next to my mom.
I raced at Seabrook in New Hampshire, and my racing name was Valid Mark. In February, I got on a hauler and was
taken to Maryland where I then went to a place the hoomans called Greyhound Central. This was actually the headquarters
for our adoption group-Greyt Expectations Greyhound Rescue based out of Lusby, MD. I got my nails trimmed, my body washed,
microchipped (I already had tattoos in both ears), got deworming medicine and then met what would end up being my forever
family. I went to live with a nice lady named Tracy and her husband and kids for a few weeks before my mom and dad could
take me home. But I've been living with my family since the end of February, and they just love me to bits.
