Hi Froggy, My name is Bonnie. We met at Galloping Greyhounds 2 Sundays ago. I was just visiting your brother, Rufus' website, www3.sympatico.ca/reet.white/which said that you and he both share Kiowa Sweet Trey as your dad. Well, guess what~~it's a really small world, cuz he's my dad, too! Imagine that! I wonder just how many of us siblings there are! And to think that all 3 of us found homes way up north in the same city! My racing name was Flying Kina. Here I am as a professional athlete: www.greyhound-data.com/d?d=flying+kina&sex=&color=&birthyear=&birthland=Maybe one day, we can all have a family photo taken with Rufus, but we will definitely have to have one taken of the 2 of us girls next time we meet up at GGPG! Love your sister, Bonnie ;D (aka Flying Kina)

Hi Bonnie, What fun news! My "mom" was super excited when she found out Rufus was my half-brother, now I have a sister too!!! Not surprising since our pops has over 12,000 kids. Did you know he is also in the Greyhound Hall of Fame? Anyhow, I think it's great that we found each other. "Mom" and "Dad" are hoping to bring me back to the farm on March 17th. They were planning on bringing me this past Sunday, but some things came up. I'd love it if we can get a family picture next time we met. Can't wait to see you. Hugs, Froggy

Hi Bonnie & Froggy, This family reunion just keeps getting bigger because me and my sister Lula also share your family tree as your dad is my grampa on my mom's side. My racing name was Coach Manchin but now it's Raleigh and my sister was known as Coach Moolah but now she goes by Lula. Bonnie you live in my neighborhood, and talk to my humans sometimes and Froggy, you and I keep missing each other at GGPG but we will all meet up sometime soon. Hope to see you all soon.
Raleigh & Lula ;D

I'm another relative! My racing name was Coach Standifer. There are a LOT of us kids out there. And guess what? -- My Momma has even spoken to our Dad's owners and they loved him a lot, which makes me feel good. He is buried on top of a hill on their property, overlooking everything.

Oh, my! My human mom says our gh dad was very "randy", whatever that means! What a wonderful surprise we're all family!
Froggy, I'm so happy you saw this post! Mom & dad said they will bring me back to GGPG on the 17th so we can play and show off our pearly whites for the pictures.
Hi Raleigh & Lula: What a small world, and we practically live together, lol. I don't think we've met yet Lula, so hopefully we will as the weather gets nicer and we're out & about a little more often.
Summer! You're my 1/2 sister too! How lucky was your human mom to be able to talk to our dad's humans! My mom finds the pedigree side of things very interesting. She wants to learn more about my background, so if you know any little interesting tidbits about our dad, she'd be really happy to know.
Thanks for responding everybody!
Love, Bonnie xoxo

Hi, I am PDX Ace and my dad was Kiowa Sweet Trey too! My mom was Van's Glory...and I look just like her. My littermate PDX Lacey was also adopted through GRA a couple months before I got there to find my new home.

It was nice seeing everyone today. I do wish I could have talked to you all, but this anxious "mom" was a little preoccupied with all the barking and commotion going on I know Froggy enjoyed herself and we plan to be back in a couple of weeks. Hope to see you soon.
