Song: The Greyhound Artist: Heather Dale Album: The Road To Santiago The Greyhound’s sinking in the waves And fast the sea receives her Curse the Reaper Bend your back And cheat your sorry grave And Captain Bryce is on her deck So we, her hands, may leave her Curse the Reaper Bend your back And cheat your sorry grave Curse the Reaper cowled in black He’s laughing at your failing Pull that oar until it cracks We’re bound for better sailing Bound for better sailing At Bryce’s word we went aloft And caught the screaming bluster Curse the Reaper Bend your back And cheat your sorry grave We shortened sails and trimmed the ropes With all that we could muster Curse the Reaper Bend your back And cheat your sorry grave Curse the Reaper cowled in black He’s laughing at your failing Pull that oar until it cracks We’re bound for better sailing Bound for better sailing The Greyhound fought to stay aright as Cruel, the wild waves tossed her Curse the Reaper Bend your back And cheat your sorry grave But when the mast began to crack We knew that we had lost her Curse the Reaper Bend your back And cheat your sorry grave Curse the Reaper cowled in black He’s laughing at your failing Pull that oar until it cracks We’re bound for better sailing Bound for better sailing So put your back into it lads And haul against the thunder Curse the Reaper Bend your back And cheat your sorry grave And cry a prayer into the winds The ship won’t pull us under Curse the Reaper Bend your back And cheat your …

I was turned down by two Retired racing Greyhound adoption agencies because I had a child under the age of 5 years. Thankfully, I found “Elite Greyhound Adoptions” in West Palm Beach Florida. The Founder of this organization seems to feel the way I do… Not in every situation is a large dog right for a small child, or the child right for the dog. However there are many times when both the right family & right dog can come together & make a perfect match. As I’ve learned over the past year, many retired greyhound adoption agencies have very strict blanket policies. They will not waiver, even in cases where common sense is staring them straight in the face. We had a large retriever “Marylin” that had to be put down after a very expensive fight against cancer. This dog was large & sweet but often clumsy and would bump into our 3 year old daughter. She was used to this and familiar with having a large dog. Our other dog (a small mutt) is a fear biter. Our daughter knows & respects the fact that she cannot pet this dog because there’s a good chance that she’ll get bit. She fully understands this and she’s never tries to pet her unless we are there supervising. This being our background, and having explained this on my initial adoption attempts.

8 races with WW Jen’s Mint at the Phoenix Greyhound Park in the summer and fall of 2002. She’s happily retired as “Gem” in Aloha, Oregon. No audio on any of the races – apparently there were some issues with the recording equipment when the races were taped.
