The ladies hit their fundraising goal today and even surpassed it. The hunt for a new hauler is on!

And even more wonderful news! The truck has been purchased, although it's still at the dealership. Melony is arranging a GUR to get her (and a passenger who will be photographing the "birth" of the new vehicle) from Birmingham to Cary, NC, to pick it up. Yippee! The crazy greyhound ladies will be on the road again soon! Here's is the new name, too, from the winner who won the naming rights in the auction, Therese MacMillan: "I'd like to name her......drum roll....Ellanore! When I think of strong, dependable, heart-of-a-warrior type women the first names that come to mind are my dear friends Ellen Ghere Paulus, Laurel Loseneger, Nancy Dzidzan, and Marge Greene. Ellanore...I know the spelling is a little non-traditional but it captures a little of each of these ladies, and if the name holds true the new hauler will do great things for the hounds!!" She also posted: "I just looked up the traditional spelling of the name and it means "shining light." Perfect! Thanks for being a shining light, and for organizing this auction that will help so many hounds. GREAT WORK!!"

That's wonderful! I hope they have Ellanore outfitted and ready to go when Heather needs more dogs.
