I haven’t had a greyhound before. I’ve done a ton of research, and this was my third time talking and interacting with members from this group. Between that and talking with a couple greyhound owners I know they seem to be the perfect dogs for me.

I took a break from prepping for a move to drop in on a meet and greet for a local greyhound rescue. They only had one of their available dogs there when I stopped by, but I think I’m in love.

Thanks, the picture I found was missing the flames. I had thought it might’ve been a cannonball but didn’t want to claim that without being certain.

My wife is a Red Cross cpr instructor, and this clip is part of her training program.

I definitely have hummus on my radar. Any particular additions you recommend?

You had me at burritos and shepherds pie. I actually just bought some lamb and was debating what to do with it.
