My two passions are art and Greyhounds (race track rescues). I have five Greyhounds of my own plus an occasional, variable sixth which I am fostering until a permanent home is found for it. I fall in love with each "foster child" but am sometimes able to part with them when I meet the nice people who adopt them. Sometimes I am not able to part with them which is why my little family has grown. Or, sometimes nobody comes forward to adopt a particular dog and before you know it, they become a permanent and essential part of my family.
Brynna was our first greyhound and we adore her. Timid and cautious at first (she was a bounceback, meaning someone couldn't or didn't want to continue keeping her) she soon gained confidence and took over our home and our hearts.
Greyhounds often assume this pose because of their unusual anatomy. They are built for running, not for sitting. Seeing Brynna in this pose inspired a painting which can be found in:
