Like most greyhounds, my big beautiful brindle boy, Jacoby, loves other greys immediately. I thought I'd like to let him meet other greyhounds in the area. We can walk, we can play, we can chase. And we can make new friends -- greyhound and human alike. Please note: This group is meant for greyhounds and their humans only, as greys typically get nervous around other dog breeds. We'll stick to walking in parks where the terrain isn't so bad until the winter thaws out a bit! Be sure to check out t …

I'm calling this a "mini" pub crawl because it involves visiting one restaurant....not multiple bars.  There are so many restaurants in the Shrewsbury Street area of Worcester, for starters, that I have not tried, so I thought I would combine exercise with trying a different restaurant each walk.  We will start at the restaurant of choice (suggestions are welcomed), go for a walk and end up back at the restaurant for appetizers and beverages.  Let's get together for a walk...approximately 1 to 2 …
