Animal Person

There will be no greyhound corpse on our table, no turkey corpse and no pig corpse.

Happy 12th Birthday Violet Rays!

Animal Person

The life expectancy of greyhounds is 12-15 years. He told me to stop going to the vet because that's what was killing Violet Rays. There she is. She has beaten the odds and made it another year. If they've raced, you subtract a year for each year of racing. Her eyes were vacant.
