My friends we have a new family member! Dinah came to her new home late last night through a pounding rain storm. She is a gentle and loving retired racing greyhound whom we adopted through Greyhound Pets of Atlantic Canada or GPAC. She is 3 years old and has many years ahead of her to be pampered and loved.

Magdalene and she are great friends already and I can tell that they are going to get into no end of trouble together.

I'll keep you posted with better pictures as she gets settled in.

The rest of us were either scared, anxious, or so unfamiliar with those kids that it never really occurred to us to go there. Don’t get me wrong, there was never any violence there. No “others” who may have inadvertently wandered into that part of the school were ever harmed or abused in any way. As I recall I walk...
