Despite the look in their eyes, life is not all about that box of Greenies® on top of the fridge. It's about running, playing, pooping and peeing in new places, and chasing any squirrel that dares to strut its stuff in the great wide open.

Running Hounds is an informal online community to arrange play-dates, get-togethers and just plain old fun among sighthound owners in the Mid-Atlantic region. We may all come from different adoption groups, but we're all here for the love of these dogs.

Feel free to join our Yahoo Group, and post events such as picnics, Open Houses/Meet-n-Greets, nail clinics, parties, group walks, etc.

Sometimes it gets old walking the same sidewalks, smelling the same smells and peeing on the same trees. Grab the leash and the poop bags (and don't forget the hound!), and join us for some fun :-)
