This was the first time I had set my eyes on this beautiful greyhound puppy, the one I had waited almost a year for. She was five months old in this photo, whelped at a greyhound puppy farm near Wheeling Island, WV. Her name became "Olive" . Her NGA race name came much later as JA's Bitsy. People always refer to greyhound pups as "landsharks" ... Olive was far from that, never destroying anything, not even her toys (that came later)!! She loved her adopted siblings, Willy, Mary (now an Angel), and Johnny, pestering them to play with her (and still does). There was no doubt about it, Olive at such a young age innocently ruled the roost. She acquired a deep desire for balls of any size and color and learned quickly to retrieve and return knowing it would be thrown again, and again, and again. Olive also loves the water, will play in her pool or a bucket but give her a sprinkler and she becomes that momentary landshark. Olive, Johnny and Willy are modelling their new authentic post racing jackets from Wheeling, WV. If you can't race, you might as well dress like them! And this just taken this morning, Olive wearing her bow (that I had to bribe her to leave on)!!
Olive has truly been a blessing in every way possible ... she's witty, smart, kind, affectionate, an insatiable zest for life, an absolute joy ... and seeing her growing up from such a young age has created the most amazing bond that we two share. Happy 2nd Gotcha Day ... my sweet little Olive.
