Luke was born SJ's Limit and came to us in Oct 2006. He came straight from the race track and was very scared and nervous. Every new experience was frighting and he needed lots of reassurance. Building his confidence was not easy. It took him two weeks to learn the stairs, be house broken, walk on hardwood floors, etc. It took two weeks for everything. Then magically, after two weeks, everything clicked and Luke started to become his own hound. We made sure he got plenty of new experiences and now he loves going to new places! But still doesn't like hardwood floors! Luke was not doing well being an only greyhound so that is when we got Sandy.
Sandy was born as Kelso's Goddess and was a life saver for Luke. Sandy came from a foster home and was already housebroken and able to do the stairs. After the tough weeks we had with Luke, she was also a life saver for us! Sandy is the sweetest hound and loves to go anywhere we go. She loves car rides and is always up for a good romp outside. Sandy fit right into our family with no problems!! The first day we had her we saw the change in Luke. He went from the neurotic greyhound to relaxed and happy! Sandy has been a leader for Luke and taught him a lot of things and gotten him into lots of trouble!
Luke follows her around and looks to her for guidance. She has taught him to play, have fun and just relax. Each day we can see their bond growing and you can see how much they need each other. Both of them have enriched our lives more than we could have ever imagined. What was life like before greyhounds? WHO CARES!!!

I have the biggest smile on my face after reading this blogg. Luke and Sandy are wonderful dogs because of their caring and loving new " mom and dad". They hit the lottery when you guys adopted them. You gave them a new life and they now will give you so much love in return. Enjoy!
