Toby!

Last night we brought home our adopted retired greyhound after a two hour tour and orientation at the Phoenix Greyhound Park. The kids learned all about how the dogs are raised and trained and watched the first race of the night. Colin wants to go back and bet next time, says he can figure out which one is fast by watching them walk out prior to the race. The first night Toby was a bit anxious but today he seems pretty settled in. He's only two years old and still very active so we spent some time at the Goodyear city park dog run this morning. He's retired for lack of interest in racing and that seemed to come through at the park. He enjoyed running around and orienting himself to the park but did not seem that interested in putting in any fast laps. Lisa did get a glimpse of the hunt drive when a little white dog walked by while we were watching the little league game. But for her solid grip on the leash, we would have had a bit of a diplomatic snafu.
