Falco


Our newly adopted greyhound continues to delight. He is such a character! He is curious about EVERYTHING. And I guess that is understandable. After all, he spent the first years of his life in a crate for more hours per day than I care to think about. He had very limited human contact and as a result, has a few "quirks" about meeting and greeting other humans. He also has never associated with other breeds of dogs other than greyhounds. Overall, he is shy and easily spooked. But we are trying to re-train him and make him more comfortable in social settings.

When he runs, he is pure grace. We are fortunate to have a safe place to run him occasionally and we delight when he stretches his legs. He really sounds like a thoroughbred horse when he runs full speed.

All in all, Falco has become a valued and loved member of our family. The fact that we rescued him makes that addition even better!
