The most recent addition to the Voyagers Greyhound Group:  
Amber 
We've never really considered a greyhound puppy, but when you've got one in your arms and are then told...
 'we're looking for homes for these little females' .....  well, you can guess what happens.
Amber joined us at age 7 weeks in August, 2006.  
She's from a family of cross-country/long distance greyhound racers 
but is now part of our family

Amber at age 13 months.... shortly after a bath wearing her new Mrs. Bones Collar and matching Voyagers necklace!
