A Greyt Day

Hyde has been having lots of fun at our local dog park-- he's meeting all kinds of nice dogs that he loves to run and play with. Unfortunately today he had a little too much fun. Somewhere in the tussle he cut open his shoulder pretty badly. Greyhounds have notoriously thin skin, and this cut, although not caused by anything major, definitely needed stitches.

After his last round of mishaps, we decided that we weren't going to take him to our in-town vet. They are very sweet and obviously care a lot about animals, but they are HELLA expensive. So instead we called the place where we adopted him, the National Greyhound Adoption Program, or NGAP for short. They agreed to squeeze us in, so we piled into the old Subaru and took a ride to North Philly.

Of course they took great care of the Hyde-ster, but the real fun was getting to see all of the cute greyhounds:

These guys are just off the track. They were very excited to see us! Don't you just want to take one of these handsome dudes home with you?

Pet me! Pet me!!


But most importantly, we got our handsome boy all fixed up:

If anyone out there is considering adopting a dog, I can't recommend getting a greyhound enough. Hyde has changed our lives for the better-- he's the best friend and slobbery companion a girl could wish for.
