    Default Hello from South Florida

    Hi,

    I live in So. Florida with my two boys. Kevin is 7 years old and Bernie is 15. Bernie's a cancer survivor 2x. (mast cell tumor & thyroidal carcinoma). Whippets rock! They prefer the couch and following me around my condo. Whippets can run up to 35 mph but you'd never know since they are glued to my legs. People think they are Greyhounds & stop me on the street asking if they are "rescues." When I take them to a public function, I wear my t-shirt that I designed - "We're Whippets - Not Greyhounds" :) I'm looking forward to contributing my knowledge on this forum and learn from everyone as well. You seem like a great bunch of people.

    Welcome to DFC. I'm sure you will be a valuable member to our little group. I'm looking forward to reading your posts.

    I have to ask that you refrain from advertising your books for now. After you have become an established member of our group, perhaps we can discuss them. This being your first post, it appears a little too spammy. I hope you understant. Thanks

    Thanks Bill. I like the style of your group. The group I just left was totally uncivilized and I had my reservations as to their rating system. I listed my books & website as part of my introduction for your readers to know more about my background. I totally understand your policy. I believe you saw my posts at this point. I'm here to help your readers as well as learn from them in a respectful conversation.

    Welcome to the board! I went to college in South Florida (Tampa) and still have relatives there. We have quite a few members from that area.

    You have beautiful dogs. Hope to see a lot more pictures of them!

    Welcome, your dogs are gorgeous! I have a silken windhound and people always ask me if he's a greyhound. Yes, a small fury greyhound. : eyeroll:
