In the beginning ...

As the webmaster for gparockymountain.org I am often sent photos and stories of foks' life experiences with their retired racing greyhounds. Most are Montana greys, and most entered their life of retirement out west through our organization. The stories are often sweet, sometimes hysterically funny and, since life is a dynamic process, they are occasionally heartbreaking. I feel privileged to see the photos and read the stories and have chosen this venue - The Greys of our Lives - so that you, whose life may also have been touched by these gentle creatures, can enjoy them too.

I could write for some time about my own greyhounds since Brent (the love of my life) and I have signed adoption contracts for eight of these wonderful hounds over the past decade. We currently have three greys living with us ... but that's fodder for many blogs to come. I also hope to include your stories - those of you who are owned by greyhounds - so please keep those photos and grey tales coming.

In the spirit of beginning, here is a photo of Josie, our very first. She came to us in the summer of 1998 and began what's turned out to be a life long love affair with greyhounds.
