Our family consists of four humans and many furkids. Scott, my husband, and I have been married since 1973. In 1977, we were delighted by the birth of our twin daughters, Kerrie and Kimberly. Kerrie and Kimberly have always been the light of our lives, and we were especially proud after their graduation from The University of the Incarnate Word with honors in 2000 - Kerrie obtained a BA in nursing and is a registered nurse, and Kimberly obtained a double Bachelors (English and Communications) and works for the San Antonio Public Library.

Scott has been a draftsman using AutoCad for over thirty years. After many years of working outside of the home in the secretarial field, I am now enjoying being a work-at-home mom doing medical and legal transcription. I am also a full-time Greyhound mom, serving as president of Heart of Texas Greyhound Adoption, Inc, a 501(c)(3) corporation, a long-time dream of Scott and I, which we helped form in 2000, being more involved in Greyhound adoption and rescue, providing in-home boarding for Greyhounds, and using my God-given talents to build CHERKOTTS, a home-based business which will donate a portion of every sale to Greyhound adoption groups.

Our family became active in Greyhound adoption after adopting our first Greyhound, Smoo's Miss Polly, in November 1992. Over well over 1,000 Greyhounds have passed through our hearts and homes on their way to their "forever homes". In order to facilitate our involvement, we moved our family from the city to the country in 1995. And now, we live on 3.5 fully-fenced acres to the delight of our resident Greyhounds and numerous fosters.

CHERKOTTS is a composite of our names - Cheryl and Scott. This is truly the basis of our married life - sharing and caring. Scott and I share a love of family, a love of God, and a love and passion for Greyhounds. Along with our Greyhounds, we have several felines who serve as the initial "cat testers" for our group and live in harmony with the Greyhounds who come in and out of our home.

Thank you for visiting my web site, and thank you in advance for your order and for helping the Greyhounds!
