Skyy's last meet and greet

Bill with Skyy and Bear Bear, Veronica with Bettina and Dennis, and Tommy with his guardian

We don't go to meet and greets very often anymore, but we just had to attend this one up at the Petco, in Augusta. Our buddy, Skyy, has cancer. This was her last meet and greet.

Lady Flame, Toby, Sugaree, Trouble, Tommy, Bear Bear, Dennis and Bettina

The purpose of meet and greets is to educate the public about greyhound adoption. Skyy is one of the best ambassadors of the breed. So, our buddies Shannon and Billy arrived with Trouble and Sugaree to honor Skyy as well.

Skyy, the hound of honor...

Skyy has cancer and has a short time to live.

Skyy still has the energy to smile! This smile has been seen by lots of people in nursing homes as Skyy is a service dog.

Bear Bear is such a great little brother to Skyy

Bear Bear has been a great addition to the Axell family. He is a nervous pup, but is as lovely as can be.

Bettina and Dennis are experts at scarfing food. Poor Bear Bear needs to up his game if he is to compete for treats!

Tommy is the new kid on the block. He is a gorgeous brown and white hound!

Cola arrived with Wade. She is super sweet and she is a service dog!

Cola even has her I.D. badge so that she can accompany Wade to work at DHHS!

Toby got a bit bored with all the action going on. And, poor Sugaree (behind him) was a bit on the nervous side. She doesn't much like big to-dos!

So, we took the pups on a walk around the store.

They were super psyched as there were kitties galore! Great sniffing here;-)

Trouble was a great ambassador for the greyhound breed. He let this little boy pet, and pet, and pet him! Check out Trouble's smile. He loves kids!

Good buddies catching up on baseball greyhound and neighborhood news!

Skyy perked up after her mom arrived!

Bear Bear said, "Hey Mom, I want some attention too!"

And, lastly, Veronica sported her new shoes! She's always ready to model the latest haute couture in Greyhound fashion;-)
