These are the dogs that we have aquired. We adopted "Midge" our greyhound from a greyhound rescue group on the Oregon Coast called Homes for Hounds. She arrived on Parker's birthday in May of 2004. She turns 7 (in human years) in August. We will never forget her birthday because greyhounds have it tatooed in their ear. Midge is a lot of fun, but most of the time she is a couch potato. "Skipper" is my mom's pomeranian mix. Some of her students found him outside a store by the school in Dayton. After no one claimed him she took him home and cleaned him up. He had no hair from his mid back to his tail. He had horrible fleas. We keep him shaved now in what is called a "lion cut"; fluffy head, fluffy tail. He seems to be more comfortable. He follows Midge everywhere. If we want him to go outside we have to convince Midge to go first.
