Girlfriend Britty

by: Sharon Marburger
Once upon a time there was a greyhound puppy that was bred for the sole purpose of running races at the dog track. Her name was Where’s Thelma and she was a brindle color. Her father’s name was Booter Jim and her mother’s name was Nulife Gogo Lucy. She had brothers and sisters and their fate would be the same.

At about 2 months of age, she would have her ears tattooed with numbers and letters that would identify her throughout her racing career, however long it would be.
