Theresa and Mike and their kids, Nicole and Alexis, had a difficult year. They lost both of their greyhounds, and their house was very empty. They wanted a big boy, to help fill that emptiness, so we stole the biggest boy we could find, Baggio, from Recycled Racers. (Thanks, Sandy!) Baggio immediately bonded with all of them, and Christmas was probably very good for all five of them! |
 |
There was a lonely
Greyhound named Sam. Sam is originally from Ireland,
and now lives in Colorado Springs with his parents, Angela
and Jeff. Sam brought his parents out to the kennel to
look for a friend, and adopted Dwizzle! Congrats to
you all! (Dwizzle's the little one.)

Grant and his family have
been looking for the perfect dog for a long time. One
Saturday, Grant and daughter, Kirstin, came to help paint,
and found what they had been searching for: Cletus!
|
 |
Not a new adoption, but a
very special one! Meadow brought her dad, Steve, back
to visit! Meadow was one of our kennel favorites, and
letting her go to Wyoming was hard, but she looks pretty
happy to us.
|
 |
This isn't a new
adoption, but Aerostar and Casper have been bringing Pat and
Denny out to the kennel to play! |
 |
Melissa
and Steve fell in love with Jack, and who could blame them? |
 |
Pat and Jack
Mertz drove all the way to our kennel from Sidney, Nebraska, to
find Kat waiting for them! |
 |
We
didn't get a picture of Scar and his new family before he went
home, so Rosemary and Dean sent this picture of Scar and
Kathleen. Scar appears to have settled into the family
nicely! And he seems to have found his niche in retirement. Now
if his new family will just come up with a new name for this
sweet boy! |
 |
On the way to his new home, Kipper earned a new name: Trouble. While Steve and Eileen were inside paying for gas he managed to lock the doors and set off the alarm--and appeared quite pleased with himself. Fortunately, Steve had the keys. Then, at the pet store, he got caught shoplifting pig ears! It sounds like the new name will stick. Click on the picture and check out the glint in this boy's eyes. |
 |
We have some of
the best surprises on Saturdays! EY, one of Torri's
"kids," brought his dad Roger out to see us. EY
looks great, and he is obviously very much loved. |
 |
Scar, at age 2,
was having problems being alone during the day. So his new
parents, Dean and Rosie, came out to let Scar pick a friend and
he chose Wilson. Here Scar, Wilson and their human sister,
Kathleen, pose in their back yard. |
 |
Gretchen
and family adopted Pat C Dr. Ruth, now known as Ruthie, and it
looks like she has settled in quite well. Gretchen says,
"We've had her for over a year now, and she's definitely
family!" |
 |
Usually what we show on this page are considered "happy endings" but this one is more like a beginning. This is the Gleims' grandson, Brandon, with a two-week old puppy. It's hard to say which one's cuter or, for that matter, which seems more at home in the whelping box. And just think, in a year that puppy will probably be bigger than Brandon and in two years, who knows? Maybe setting new track records. |
 |
Here are Meadow (Prima Meadow) and Darius (Buy Me That) posing at the RMGA party that was held a couple of years ago. They certainly make a handsome couple. |
 |
Sabrina
has had Dana, formerly Pat C Banter, for about 3 years now. Dana
is a lot more patient with the new kitten than anyone else in the
family. Sabrina calls them "Un Perro de Dios y Gato diablo!"
(Dog of God and Devil cat). Dana's gorgeous! Babette is
pretty cute too - as far as devils go. |
 |
Steve and Melissa adopted
Troubles, now Khepri to keep Heru (formerly Jack)
company. We're pleased to hear that she fit in
beautifully with the family right away and became fully
grooved into the "routine" immediately.
|
 |
JoAnn
and Armin adopted Bobby (red fawn) as a six week old puppy; he's
about 14 months old here. He loves to play Frisbee and dig holes
-- never a dull moment with a greyhound puppy! Bobby (middle
name TROUBLE) is posing here with his housemate, Rita, a five
year old adopted from Colorado Greyhound Adoption. She likes to
eat, sleep and give kisses, more like what most of us are used
to. |
 |
Okay, our webmaster LOVES puppies. So here's Bobby at eight months. |
 |
Buddy
brought his people, Tim and Sharon Withers, out to see our new
kennel. Buddy looks great, and we suspect he has Tim and Sharon well-trained! |
 |
Here's Tasha (formerly Donna) with her beagle sister Macey and mommy Jackie at the Furry Friends Festival in Longmont. Macey adopted Tasha in late April 2002. Everybody looks very happy but Macey looks like she wants to bag the photo session and go do something fun! |
 |
Robin and Luis
came by the kennel, and Gomer capture their hearts! Gomer
has been so depressed being back at the kennel. He was so
excited to pick out his humans and be able to go home! |
 |
Janette has been
volunteering with RMGA for a few months now, and she always said
she was waiting for the right Greyhound to come along. It
looks like Danielle has captured Janette's heart, and Bud's! |
 |
Jann came to the
kennel to find a girl Greyhound friend for her two female
dogs, Ripley and Katie. Gee, looks like our handsome guy
Seven had different ideas! |
 |
Greyhound owner
Tim Shaw sent Sharon and her family to take him this beautiful
boy. Escape will be very happy with his new friends! |
 |
We
knew Train wouldn't be around long! It was love at first
sight, and it was all over! |
 |
Here's
Cletus in his Harley hat and T-Shirt, thanks to Pam and Bryce.
He looks like he's ready
to go cruising. |
 |
Bill and Kathy brought out their kids to pick out a new friend. Sassy was a little overwhelmed, but they all look so good together! |
 |
Mike and Brenda
adopted Little Guy. He's getting along very well. He was shy at
first, but he's coming out of his shell. He loves running
in the yard, and is tolerant of the "uncouth" neighbor
dogs. Here's a picture of us at Christmas. |
 |
This note is
long overdue, but we just wanted to write and thank you for our
wonderful new friend. Pluto has changed so much since
July, he has developed quite the personality and is such a
character. He enjoys long runs with Chris and sleepy days
at home with Kelli. He also enjoys playing with all his
toys, especially the squeaky ones, we find them all over.
He is working on a new friendship with his two chihuahua
cousins. We wish you the best of luck in 2003 and we will
see you soon. Christopher and Kelli Trujillo |

I thought I would
drop a note and send a pic of Deon and how he is doing. When we
first got him, he was very apprehensive about coming up to us and
being by our side - but after awhile he grew to trust us. We later
took him to obedience school where he can now 'sit' and 'down' and
'come' when called. The trainer said that he was the fastest
greyhound learner that she has seen (I think she was just saying
that.) We have taken him up to Estes Park and let him run
around the dog park up there, but then we found one a lot closer
(100th & Sims) and now we try to take him everyday. Once we get
back though, he sleeps until he has to go to bed. We just got back from a long road trip to Kansas City and Deon loved every bit of it, although he didn't see much of the road from sleeping the whole time; just as well, he really didn't miss anything either. ;) Joe and Jenni (And Deon!) |

This is Claire
Buttke and her new mom and dad. |
 |
Emmy
Osborn with her two new buddies, Doc and Cookie. She should keep them

 |
Patch Kotula. A
puppy needs a couple kids! |
 |
Spanky Lawson with
his new family. Again, a puppy and two energetic kids. A good match. |

family, and he even has a human puppy to play with! |
 |

and her family! |
 |
What
better gift for a greyhound for her birthday than going to her
very own home? Here is Kayla, who found her family and did just that: Went home on her 2nd birthday! |
 |
Drew and his new
mom!

I figured I would
send you pics of WW Bo's Jury. I changed his name to LEVI shortly
after I got him from you. He is wonderful, and loves his new backyard.
He's been with me since last Labor Day, and has changed dramatically
in to a wonderful companion. He's good, lovable, friendly, loves kids,
loves people and the attention he gets, and is fascinated by the fish
in my KOI pond (and Jeremiah the bullfrog)…. Adrian |
 |
Taylee
found her dream family! We're sure she's absorbing love and affection from her new mom and dad 24 hours a day! |
 |
We were so worried
about Benehana after he was returned. He was so upset about
losing his home. It looks like our worries were needless, if this picture means anything! (That's Benny on the right with his butt closest to the fire.) |
 |
Dinger, our "Old Man" return and his new brother, Rootbeer (the puppy) with their new family. |
