WOW!!!
A dream come true. A dream with a huge amount of work attached, but who ever said dreams were easy?? 
I hope it all goes well for you and your DH. I admire your go-for-it attitude!

That's no pup. That's a retired greyhound. (Right?) And none too young. (Right?) Sweet looking dog, s/he looks loved.
One suggestion (made with love and support): Go back to your site tomorrow with fresh eyes and proof read. Have the person that did NOT type it in do the dirty work - they'll catch more. I noticed a few (rather minor) glitches. What can I say, that's what I do for a living.... {shrug} You do want to put your best foot forward, though.
Gosh I wish I lived closer, I'd go riding with you...Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

Thanks for the feedback on proof reading. Trust me, I am more than willing to take that type of feedback (positive/negative about content, grammar, etc). I'm definitely a math minded person, so grammar is a weak point and like you said, we want to put our best foot forward!

I was hoping you'd be OK with it. People tend to kill the messenger on things like that. So often I'm the messenger.Trust me, I am more than willing to take that type of feedback (positive/negative about content, grammar, etc).
Anyway, I do like your site. The layout is understandable to me. And I still wish I lived closer...Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

If you ever get to the point of offering goods over the internet - I'm sure the ladies here would buy lots of stuff!
