Kirby is a retired greyhound.He was retired at 18 months of age with only seven races to his name, which was Flipper back then. He raced at Daytona Beach in Florida, but we adopted him from an agency called Greyhound Companions of MO . Retired greyhounds make terrific pets. There is probably an greyhound adoption agency near you . Bear is a AKC registered golden retriever. We purchased him 'used' at 6 months old. We had him neutered because he has a hip condition known as hip dysplasia. Goldens are so smart. He has learned how to open the trash can, the big rascal. His biggest plus point is he fetches the morning paper and places it on the kitchen table; this saves us from going out into the bitter cold. In addition to all this, he is a very loving and tolerant fellow. |
