Nellie
is our five-year-old Retired Racing Greyhound. She only raced a few
times, according to her record, and did win one race (36mph average!) -
but obviously not well enough to have her continue racing (thankfully!).
We have had Nellie for just over two years, and we love watching her life
unfold as she realizes that there is so much more to life than a kennel
has to offer!
We live in Boise, Idaho, where we do a lot of walking and going to one of
Nellie's favorite dog parks, which is where the water photo was taken. She
has had to learn from the other dogs some of the finer things in life,
such as taking a soak in the cool water. At first she would just stand and
watch the others, then she stepped in and stood in the way of the other
dogs until she saw one of them lay down in the water. Now this is what she
does every time we go! It is amazing to watch her try new things out, even
after all of this time with her.
Retired Racers are amazing friends to have, so mellow and happy to have a
warm bed (or four... yes, she has four) to call their own! We love Nellie,
Queen of Boise!
