It's All About Today

In an hour we pick up a greyhound mix. Her foster mom is going out of town for a few days and we're going to keep her to see how she fits in with our resident greyhound Beau. Beau and Windy, who died last September, were around 6 years old and retired from the track when they came to live with us. The girl we pick up today is only three - and that's a guess because she's a stray. Will she have that calm, regal demeanor common to greyhounds or will she be more like a "real dog"? Will she bark? Greyhounds rarely do. Will she get on the furniture? Beau doesn't and neither did Windy. Yes, we have our concerns, but we also excited and eager to meet her. And with a name like Hope, how can we not give the girl a chance?
