IÕm Dodge, fresh off the track and in transition at the kennel. SAGreys check us out medically to make sure weÕre healthy. TheyÕre so thorough; I thought I was signing up for the military! Then weÕre Òsnipped!Ó As a male, I donÕt like to ponder too hard on that! Then we go into foster. For all you foster guys and gals out there, let me tell you, IÕm a big mushball love bug. BeamerÕs Mom gets it and I fit into that category. So, you ask, whatÕs a mushball. WeÕre all bluster and muster on the surface, flexing our muscles when there are other males around, but underneath, we love to be cuddled, kissed and told we are the neatest thing since squeaky toys. So there you have it. IÕm not dodging the issue, IÕm telling it straight from my handsome greyhoundÕs mouth!
