She is a little, skinny, pretty bitch...

Among all other things, last Friday I acquired my latest greyhound, MG's Oreo.

Oreo is a 59 lb, black and white, spayed female. Here she is on my back porch yesterday doing what greyhounds love best -- sleep:

Oreo raced at the Naples/Ft. Meyers greyhound track in Florida for her entire career. She raced in somewhere between 89 and 92 races (the record is unclear), and she won 11 of those races. The record indicates she was more successful at longer, rather than at shorter, races. Here is a summary of her racing record: From the tattoos in her ears, I was able to track down Oreo's pedigree information on line: The record of her last race on 5 July 2007 reveals that she did not run: She probably experienced an injury before she left the gate. That is why I have her now.

She is a very friendly dog who likes to sit on your lap. Very smart. She is the fifth in the long line of greyhounds who retired at the Passmore home from Lewis to Sophie to Bianca to Cody (with whom she shares this house...picture at left...more of Cody's saga here and here), but she is clearly the dog with the most racing experience and success among all I have had.

Now, for some expresso coffee!
