Introducing Chyna:
This beautiful 10-year old greyhound retired from the racetrack in 2002 and was welcomed into the GINA (Greyhounds in Need of Adoption) family. In fact, one of the people who helped get her ready for her first foster home was also one of my home visit reps.
She tells me that next to all of the "big boys" that Chyna arrived with, she looked like a little china doll. She made the comment, the foster family liked it, and that's how she got her name.
It was love at first sight for me, and I'm thrilled to be entering this new phase of my life as a "dog Mom."
And Linda, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Adopting an older dog (she's 10) means I'll be facing that sooner that I thought I would, but of course right now I'm just enjoying every single moment. Speaking of, it's almost time for our walk!
