The Adventures of Zoe and Kallie

We fostered Lucky Jennifer way back in Feb of 2006. She was a pretty blue brindle. Just a sweet girl.
That fresh off the track look.Lucas and Stella checking out the new fosters. Lucky Jennifer and her blue sister Lucky Patsy Ann didn’t want anything to do with the initiation to the clan.We got one of our biggest snowfalls a few days later. Even though she had just come up from Florida, Jennifer didn’t mind playing in the snow at all. She was running around with Lucas, with Stella playing ‘Fun Police’.Who says greyhounds don’t sit.She was renamed Cleo, and not too long after her adoption, her family moved to New York. It’s a bit colder up there.We recently found out Cleo had succumbed to bone cancer in her shoulder. She was only 7 years old.
After her family heard that the rescue kennel in Orlando had two adorable sisters waiting for their forever home, they decided that the girls needed to stay together. They drove down from New York to Virginia to meet the hauler. Meet Backwood Diva (Black) and Backwood Sondra (Fawn). So happy to be on their way to their new home.Daddy gave them a bath, so they would have a fresh start to their retirement.Zoe (Sondra) and Kallie (Diva) have never been separated, even having crates next to each other at the track. Can you tell?Zoe seems to be settling into retirement nicely.After a bath and a bit of rest, the girls enjoy some time in the yard.Arion and the kitty welcome the girls to their new home.

  3. Thanks for posting an update on these two - like so many others, they came off the haul with wagging tales and giving kisses which is always great to see! I'm so glad they were adopted together, they look so happy!

  4. I'm sorry to hear about Cleo. She looked mighty fine in her coat.

    The story of the sisters is wonderful. It was so good of them to keep them together. They're clearly united. I love these mushy stories.
