Nancy and I recently acquired a new dufus. Ellie was given to us by Nancy’s brother David, who recently passed away after a long battle with cancer. David was an animal lover who had 6 or 7 dogs, including 4 whippets. Whippets are the smaller cousins of greyhounds, and they can run faster than 40mph. Ellie is a very sweet girl, a bit timid, but she can run like the wind.
