I contacted GFNJ(via e-mail) about her. Of course, my mom still says no. But anyway, they said she arrived at the kennel June 15th, 2 days after Sas died. Weird, no? I also have come to the conclusion that LD's Sassafras isn't really the right dog for my family. It's not a good idea to get a dog now anyway. First of all, it says she is cat-tolerant with supervision which means she could hurt Star when I'm not home, etc. I mean there are always crates and stuff, but what if I am not there for a minute? Star isn't a cat but she's even smaller. We're not always home or able to supervise this. She would do best with another greyhound also. I don't have that, and it would be hard enough for me to get one. Two is absolutely unheard of!! Plus it's summer, I have a job, during the winter/fall/spring I have school. I'm too busy to take care of a dog. Last summer there was no job, and I was NEVER busy after school. But now, it just wouldn't work out.

Of course, when I get older I would sacrific not having smaller pets(dogs are more for me anyhow)/buying a fence/etc. for a greyhound because they are just amazing animals and I can't picture myself with another breed of dog ever again. I am saddened it would not work out, but it just wasn't meant to be. Plus when I'm older I can DEFINITELY get a dog without worrying about someone saying no to me. For now, I will take this as a sign from Sassy that she's Okay and she's not mad at me for having made "the decision". I love you and still miss you, babe. '

Also, I figure it would be foolish to just adopt the dog not suited for my family because of her name. I still think it is a sign of course but it just wouldn't be the smartest thing to do.
