Important Update From Friends of Greyhounds

∗∗∗ IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM FoG ∗∗∗

Friends of Greyhounds is very pleased to tell you that we are no longer in business!! Since the Florida greyhound tracks are closed, our adoption group is no longer necessary. We have waited a long time and worked hard to get to this point. This is a very good thing!

We do not have any dogs to adopt or feed or take to the vet so we do not need donations. Our charity has been dissolved.

Thank you so much for your years of support and friendship. We are still here as friends for advice and any help you and your dogs may need.

I Stopped My Home From Being Burglarized!

Yesterday evening I heard some voices and a truck outside. I thought it was some neighbors.

Ten minutes later I looked out the front window and saw something that I could hardly believe. There was a very big U-Haul truck sitting in my driveway.

I went outside to take a closer look. It was parked so close to my garage door that I was afraid the door may have been damaged. All of the doors on the truck were locked.

I checked with my neighbor across the street. He said he saw three men back the truck into my driveway and then leave in a car.

I called the police and while waiting for them to arrive I called the phone number for U-Haul on the truck. The U-Haul representative told me the truck was rented a few hours earlier. He called the number on the rental agreement. He told me he spoke with the renter who would call his people to tell them to get the truck.

When the police officer arrived he took down the license plate and VIN to check if it had been reported stolen.

Finally, three men is a car arrived. I asked the truck driver of the group what address was their correct destination. He refused to answer.

The police officer didn't check their IDs or the U-Haul rental agreement to verify if the driver was permitted behind the wheel of the truck.

The truck with the car following drove off. I expected to hear the truck within a few blocks of my home when they went to the correct address, but they left the neighborhood.

Then, the police officer told he there had been several burglaries where a big truck was left in a driveway. If no one complained, then the house was broken into and everything was taken.

A New Friend for Friends of Greyhounds

As you may or may not know, I am a volunteer for Friends of Greyhounds.

Several months ago, Scott found us and began to volunteer to help out in the kennel. Soon he noticed and fell in love with Dusty.

Then, Scott created a blog titled "Dusty and Me" that he describes as "A blog about an old dog and his young greyhound".
