DOG TRIVIA:Margo has opened her home to several retired racing greyhounds over the years. "Greyhound with an 'e,' not an 'a'. It's like Dalmatian with an 'ian' instead of an 'ion'. I've had both breeds so I'm used to the error in spelling. Greyhound is a form of Great Hound, that's why the 'e'. Dalmatians are orginally from Dalmatia, that's why the 'a. Just a bit of doggie trivia for ya."

That is great!
Margo and I appear to have a lot in common, rescue dogs, love of chocolate, jeans and t-shirts and a good looking family. No wonder we get along so well!Thanks for the trivia on the dogs...
Really it is great. It is nice that Margo has opened her home to several retired. You are doing very much great work. Thanks!
You have got to love a girl with the same "NO Rodeo Drive" shopping mantra as me! (Unless of course the coolest flea market in the world should happen to open on that road!)
