I've had dogs my whole life, as young as I can remember I've had dogs in my life. My first pet was my little mini daschund named "Tattoo". We traveled the country together in our RV and spent many days playing fetch until she became too old and her body began to give out. She passed a few years ago and it wasn't long until we decided to rescue a Greyhound who didn't like to run. Typically, greyhounds are somewhere in the range of 4-6 years old before they retire from running and go to rescue groups. Bullet, his race name, was 2 years old when we got him. He's such an interesting boy and he is not a runner. Never was. They retired him because when he left the start gate he would run a few yards and just stop. Soooo, yeah, thats Mr. B and we love him just the way he is. Me, Im 41 years old. I work in healthcare and in my spare time I like to walk dogs. It gets me out of the house and it gets your dog out of the house! Its a win-win.
