No playing with little white dogs, which isn't uncommon for greyhounds. He was 85 pounds (large for a greyhound), very muscular (odd for a greyhound) and spectacularly gorgeous, with Pharaoh Hound-like ears. We adopted Violet to give her a safe and loving home. Far more than a diabetic greyhound.

Bringing a dog into the family is no small decision. Dignified and loyal dogs such as Greyhounds and Siberian Huskies will sit by your side no matter what, and don’t require high-energy antics provided that they receive plenty of exercise. If you have a family, you’ll also want to find dogs that are good with kids.

And I received confirmation of something I've known since 2004, when we adopted retired racing greyhound, Violet Rays: That there's sort of a critical period for dog-behavior acquisition, and if it's missed, the dog isn't likely to mature into the type of loving being whose behavior we've come to associate with "pet" dogs.

Violet's a member of our family. So when we adopted a human baby we knew we'd have to teach that human to avoid Violet. We weren't planning to adopt another. but a friend who volunteers for a rescue group told me of a greyhound event around the corner from my house. At no point would we consider having to rehome Violet.

On Friday, June 25, I received a call from an attorney who said a little girl was born the evening prior, her adoption fell through and she needed a family. Because we planned to adopt I had been researching eco-friendly, vegan nursery items but had yet to purchase a thing. And on Sunday, June 27, we brought her home!
