I’d like to introduce the newest member of the family, Smokin Motor, also known as Rio. He is a sweet-tempered, lovable, seven-year-old, retired racing greyhound.
Today was adoption day.
Rio came up for adoption a second time, after four years, when his first family was no longer able to take care of him, due to a change in schedule.
Here he is doing what greyhounds do best, flaking out. Everything about Rio’s temperament, as we’ve seen so far, seems like it will fit in perfectly with our family.
We are very excited about our new family member.
Hi He looks great and very much at home. How was the first night? I am so glad you got him. You and Lydia will enjoy him.
Love Mom

He did pretty well his first night. We even left him alone for a few hours today and he was just fine. He was glad to see us when we got home, but there were no signs of stress.
He really is a sweet heart.
