Staci
We can hardly believe that Staci is already a ten-year-old senior. She certainly doesn’t act old. We adopted her just before she turned three. She is a very beautiful red and white greyhound, but we didn’t select her for that reason.
We had gone to a GPA picnic with our greyhounds Trixie and Sam, and had been thinking about adding a third grey. There were adoptable dogs in a large pen, and Trixie kept pulling us over to be near the red and white greyhound. It seemed that they made a connection with each other. Shortly after that Staci came to our home.
She was too pretty and sweet to keep her track name “State Law”, and we renamed her Staci. Being very smart, she watched what Trixie did and did the same. They always got along and Staci and Trixie were a harmonious trio with our gentle giant Sam.
Although Staci is comfortable with all greyhounds, she is particular about which humans she likes. She was quite shy in the beginning, but has gotten more accepting and relaxed over the years. She is still very playful and loves to vocalize. It doesn’t take much encouragement to get her to roo, and she has a pretty soprano which matches her girly looks.
Staci has always been a willing model for the dog coats I make, and she shows them off well. Our neighbor even says that her graceful beauty reminds him of Gwyneth Paltrow!
Just as Trixie picked out Staci for our family, Staci selected Trey. We went to the OGA kennel with her and walked around with many male greyhounds. His sweet playfulness appealed to her and made the choice easy. Even though Trey is four years younger, they are great playmates. They have the best fun running in our backyard. As a senior, she doesn’t match his stamina, but you’d never guess her age!
