Ok, not exactly a down week, but for the way we've been going it is. For the first time in many weekends, we only have one event scheduled. While we always like to be out there doing something, having only one meet and greet is a welcome break.
In actuality, this is quite an important weekend. A couple volunteers are traveling to Abilene, KS to pick up a greyhound hauler for us! That's right, our very own hauler. While we're lucky to have this opportunity, hard work has gotten us to this point. We were offered a deal that was just too good to pass up and, sooner than later, will save us a substantial amount in travel costs throughout the years.
Let's see... what else to report? Well, we have found forever homes for 69 dogs in 2010. That's 12 more than in 2009! Everybody involved should be very proud of that. And we've still got two more months to go.
9 more greyhounds will be arriving in November (almost assuredly the 14th) in our new hauler. Several of them already have applications pending on them.
Our blood donor girls at Grady Vet are doing great. Kim's tail doesn't stop when you visit her and Glamour Gal is a smiler! They will both be available for adoption in January, but don't be afraid to stop by Grady to visit them until then. Their staff will be happy to let you love on them.
And chances are that if you're reading this, you have seen our new website. While that's not exactly news, it's still pretty cool. And soon, in this blog we'll have contributions from different types of experts, including veterinarians, nutritionists, fosters, and more. So don't be afraid to subscribe. And if you have something to contribute, let us know!
Until next time...

October 16-17 Weekend Events
A busy weekend ahead!
On Saturday, we have Moochie's at Kenwood Mall and it will be the last regularly scheduled Saturday M&G until the new year. Tom is arranging the hounds for that M&G. Email Tom at tomhawver@gmail.com if you're interested in coming.
We also have Macy's Shop for a Cause and we are going to be outside at the Macy's Anderson Town Center from 12 to 3. We'll be by the men’s clothing entrance.
The final event for Saturday is the Huber Heights PetSmart. Jen and Hernan would really appreciate any of the folks up towards Middletown / Dayton area that would be willing to help them out in HH. Moochie's & PetSmart are scheduled for noon to 3 p.m.
On Sunday, we are scheduled to be at the Howl-o-ween event at Red Dog in Hyde Park. The event runs from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. We are going to be indoors at this event and we need folks to help out as it now overlaps the new arrivals. Please let me know if you are able to attend this event. We have done many events with Red Dog and we always have a greyt time!
Sunday is also the haul around 2:30 p.m. Once the haul arrives in Louisville I will send out an arrival update. Depending upon the temps outside, we may have to move the bathing part to Doggie Depot.
