Chance

I got my 1st greyhound about 3
years ago. I knew from then on I was hooked, and that I
wanted to get another one. I met Jackie a couple of
years ago when I turned over to her a greyhound that had
come into the humane society I volunteer with. I must
say, "that" dog (Jim) changed both our lives forever.
This summer I lost one of my most special dogs, I won't
go into details, but I miss him dearly. My birthday is
coming up this month, so my husband, Ken, as a surprise
decided to adopt a greyhound for me. What a nice
surprise!
So, of course we visited Jackie. Chance had
just been returned to her, he had not worked out in his previous
home for whatever reason. He just kept coming over to Ken & me
saying "look at me, I'm the one." He just seemed to bond with us
right there at the start. He's special and fun loving.
Chance gets along great with our other dogs (all 6 of them), loves
running and playing in the yard, and lounging around the house. He
fits in here just great. Jackie said "he's a handful" but maybe she
just wanted to keep him herself, because he sure doesn't act like a
handful. Or maybe my dogs are just not as well behaved as I thought,
ha-ha.
I didn't go down there with any particular dog in mind, not color or
male or female, just looking for a personality to match with my
other dogs. Chance stood out above the crowd. Ironically, I've
always wanted a brindle colored male. Chance is a brindle colored
male. Doesn't God work in mysterious ways.
I'm very thankful that Chance chose us to be his family. And very
thankful to Greyhounds Galore for giving Chance a chance. Jackie and
everyone who helps her out are truly a blessing from God.
