A sweet lady I know volunteers for the Greyhound Rescue here in Oklahoma. She’s several rescued greyhounds of her own. She loves her greyhounds.
I saw her the other day, she was wearing a smart suit with a pink blouse. Sharp! She had a greyhound pin on her lapel, only it was upside down.
“Oh,” I said “Your pin is upside down.”
She replied, “No, it’s supposed to be that way. Greyhounds like to lay upside down, it’s called roaching.”
I had no idea!
I learned something about greyhounds that day, in fact, I learn a little bit more these wonderful dogs every time I see her.
The local organization, the Hounds of the Heartland, is a non-profit, chock full of Racing Dog Lovers and is dedicated to finding homes for both retired racing hounds as well as an occasional young greyhound not yet in the dog racing community.
