A friend of mine also had a retired racing grey, this was a beauitful creature and had so much love to give.. This lovely animal had to be sent home this last summer after much struggle with organ failure due to cancers. But he gave my friend such an appreciation for life and the need to share with someone or something, (he is single, nearing mid-age). He is taking courses during summer to finish his masters in music education. This is his last year for that, he has already decided to get another retired racing grey when the summer is up, so he can devote proper time to his new family member.. I am not sure that all greys picked up this way, end up in such a loving situation but they are definately capable of the love to give.
Not quite on topic, but thought it was worth the space.
