Description

Greyhound Crossroads really started as Robert and I walked the Prosperity Flea Market one morning. A vendor we knew walked by us with a dog on a leash..."Look what I just adopted!" she gushed. Up walked the skinniest, and most stunning, dog I'd ever seen. She flowed right over to me and looked UP in that way that only a greyhound can do. Apparently an acquaintance of ours from Chappells, Jo Jenkins, was there with a trailer full of dogs that needed homes. It sounds pretty shocking now, but In those days little was known in this area about adoption groups. (So little, in fact, that the local Animal Control tried to seize my dogs as vicious killers right after we got them!) She was trying her best to find homes for the dogs she'd literally saved from a one-way trip to Animal Control in Florida. We stopped to talk to her and I got a 'greyhound hug' from a big handsome boy named King. I'll never forget that dog and it sure wasn't hard for Robert to convince me! In the end Jo suggested we wait until the next time she came from Florida and she would choose a couple for us to pick from. The day they arrived would change our lives forever. Angel, Stubby, and Sunshine jumped out of that van and stole our hearts. We decided to keep the family together by adopting all three of them-- we were amazed to discover that they were all littermates! You can see their picture on the cover of the book Greyhound Tales, and my story of their unusual adoption is featured among the chapters...
