I decided to start this group because I moved to the area about 10 years ago and have had difficulty meeting people with the same interests. Or most of my friends from the area are married with children and if it isnt the spouse it's the kids that deter my friends from going out. So...I would like to see varied activities so we can gather a large group and maybe diversify the interests I am about to mention. How about a sushi night or a karaoke night or a night with both if we can find a venue. …

I take my greyhound out to beaches and parks often, but I rarely see other greyhounds in the parks and on the beaches. Let's help our pets make new …
