My husband, Paul, and I enjoy travel, good food and spending time with family.
We have six fun, busy kids (blended family).
I adore greyhounds but don't currently have one. They are sweet, calm dogs. I can highly recommend adopting a retired racer. Update - We did recently adopt a Staffordshire/Shepard mix from a rescue group. He's lovable and sweet, though needs to be much more active than our old greys did.
