They're so different from us -- feisty hairy wire fox terriers -- and now we know about their fascinating history.<br /><br />Our favorite greyhound story is when I, Jake, -- before JH joined the family -- would go to the dog park, I would start to run with a greyhound and he would not try to outrun me, even though I knew he could. We were impressed!'<br /><br />Wirey woofs,<br /><br />Jake and Just HarryJake of Floridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14460837412289201219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-82588320355388692322010-03-17T15:03:30.350-05:002010-03-17T15:03:30.350-05:00Indeed they do have an air of regality about them,...Indeed they do have an air of regality about them, don't they? It's why we called our Renie 'The Princess'. Oh, and Susan, our second greyhound, she would have been allowed in church! She had the most wonderful 'kissy spot'. She was a ticked white, with no other markings but the kissy spot and mottled ears.
