2020 PET MAGAZINE LINCOLN DAILY NEWS JANUARY 23, 2020 Page 63 About two months later, we were introduced to another male Grey for adoption, an actual gray Greyhound that we immediately fell in love with and adopted as a trade-in. We renamed him “Beau.” Beau was bigger and more muscular than even Dante, and weighed in at over ninety pounds. He had a laid back nature, and was a “smiler.” Falco and Beau got along famously. Although they have the reputation of being fierce athletic competitors on the track, Greyhounds are largely couch potatoes, they slept about twenty hours a day and took up our whole couch. We learned to sit on the floor in the living room and did not allow them on the bed! The greys were different in one respect from all the other dogs we ever owned: since they had never lived in a home, had been kept in cages, and had never been treated as loved members of a family, they always seemed to be incredibly grateful, and expressed their gratitude daily in a number of ways. Both Falco and Beau passed away in 2012, just a couple months apart. We have so many good memories of these fantastic animals, and eagerly await reunion with them at the Rainbow Bridge.
