All True Stories
Several months before COVID-19 hit, I sent in a completed application to adopt a greyhound. In mid-April the kennel contacted me saying they had just gotten some greys from a track in West Virginia. So I drove down to the kennel on April 25, 2020 and instantly connected with Finley! Little did I know at the time what a comfort he would be during this Pandemic. As is often said, I don�t know whether I adopted him or he adopted me.
n
nHe had a period of adjustment to go through. Life at the track is very different than having free roam of a house. He had never seen a flight of stairs before and didn�t quite know how to climb or descend them. But we got through all of that and did some training, and now after seven months together he�s been a great companion.
n
nSometimes he�ll be starring at me and I wonder if he�s just a dog. He seems to know what�s on my mind and anticipates a move before I make the slightest gesture. I wonder at times whether someone sent him to me.
n
nI don�t consider that I �own� Finley. Rather I�m delighted he�s here and I�m privileged to be able to care of him.
