Dude, I'm impressed, that Hollywood blowing the ears back with a fan trick actually works. You look like you are running really fast.

Nah, nah, can't catch ... Oh wait, you're quicker than I thought.

Do you think she's ever going to let go of that prize? That's better than winning the big stuffed bear at the carnival. Though the bear typically has less slobber.

SATURDAY BLOG HOP

Welcome one and all to the weekly pet blog hop. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the blog. Willow, Breeze and Dru encourage you to stay a while during your visit. Warning they tend to reminisce a bit...

D: "Do you remember that one time we all went to the dog park?"
B: "That time we met with those other dogs and ran up and down the fence?"
D: "Yup, that's the one. Hey, let's get the photo albums out and show the nice blog hop visitors."
W: "Ohhh, better yet I have a slide show put together and it's only 100 or so slides."

I could do an entire post just on greyhound ears.

Oh, wait, I kinda' just did.

I mean - a long post, with more than 3 lines of text, multiple photos and everything. Hmmmmm.

I have been trying for months to get a decent photo of Jake. He looks as surprised as I do that I have finally managed it.

Gives a whole new meaning to air dry.

That's a happy dog.

And yet again Willow is marching to a different drummer. I'm guessing a little alternative punk while the others are more classical.

When the tongues are flapping in the breeze (heh. see what I did there?) like this I wonder how it retracts and fits in the normal storage space. Maybe it is like one of the old vacuum cleaner cords and with a sharp pull - ziippppp - right into the casing.

The newest invention, hovering portable toy fans. Perfect cooling your hound on those hot desert days.

Welcome to Saturday blog hop! Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy your visit.

It gives you just a little pause when you see a madly sprinting greyhound coming right for you. Stand still and you are OK, they will go right by. (Usually. My friend with the shattered ankle will argue that point after being taken out by a pack of greys who weren't paying attention.) Move and you're done for. The best part of having one that likes to do run-bys is that you get to see what they look like coming right at you. Looks a little off her rocker, doesn't she?

I went to another training class offered by my friends over at Seize the Leash last week. The attendees love the Tiny Tyrants class because it provides behavior modification specifically geared towards little dogs. I love the class because the dogs are so darned cute! See Exhibit 'A' below.

We have more and more hounds joining us for playdate. So many, in fact, I don't know which direction to point my camera. Decisions, decisions. Though I have realized just a few more and we can reproduce the greyhound color chart.

Two down, bottom of the 9th, bases loaded. A hard line drive to short. Ginger reaches - caught! Snagged out of the air with an amazing athleticism and grace! The Brindles win it! They take the pennant!

Greyhounds and squeakies. Once they read the operating instructions (open mouth, grasp toy, toss toy in air, run like crazy) they become pure entertainment (the dogs, not the toys). Though, like people, they tend to get bored with their own toys and are always more interested in the other dog's new screaming monkey - just say for example.

PHOTO FOR THE DAY

Think we should help with that?

Nah, I'm kinda' enjoying the panicked yelling. I'm so gonna' to bring this up each time she give me that "I'm better than you, Mom's petting me" look.

SATURDAY BLOG HOP

Blog hop! Welcome and thanks for stopping by. The girls would like to invite you come on in, take the tour and relax for snacks. They are serving water and biscuits, and if they really like you, they may even give up a bully stick. There's even available dog beds. Pretty much everything you could want to be comfortable during your visit. So pull up a cushion and stay for a while.

Excuse me for a moment, we have a bit of a disturbance...

Breeze come back here with that bully stick, we have company.

Dru please stop roaching and displaying your lady parts to the nice visitor.

Willow, off!


Enjoy.

If I could only figure out how to harness that power, I would never pay an electric bill again. Actually, neither would the entire city of Tucson.

Apparently practicing for a new dance performance. Willow is late for her entrance and a little out of step, as usual.

And now for traffic. Over to our eyes in the sky. Tell me, Fast Dog, what does it look like out there first thing this morning?

Well Rooman, it's looking pretty good with all roads clear except the Grey Parkway. There seems to be a 3 vehicle pile-up. I would stay clear of the area, maybe use Sprinters Lane as an alternate.

This 7 year young lady is an available foster and let me tell you how much I want to take her home. She is fun, full of energy, playful, and downright goofy. Just an outstanding dog. Oh, that I could fit more dogs in my car. Anyone in the Tucson area looking to add to their pack, please take a look at Ginger.

Aiiieeeeee! Get it off!!!!

SATURDAY BLOG HOP

Good Morning and thanks for stopping by the Saturday blog hop! The girls and I welcome you with open arms and slurping tongues to our blog. Well, actually, we just got back from playdate so they are passed out and displaying some serious flat dog syndrome. They might be able to muster enough energy for a tail wag. Maybe? Please leave a comment and let me know you stopped by so I can be sure to check out your blog. Have a great weekend!

Shhhhh, be verrrry quiet, we're hunting wabbits.

Nah, nah Mom, can't see me. You know I don't like being in photos.

UPDATE ON FORT WORTH ANIMAL ABUSE CASE

A little update on the Fort Worth animal cruelty case. The auction conducted by Carpe Canem was a huge success, bringing in $18,010. A huge thank you to Carpe Canem, Life with Dogs, everyone who donated items and, especially, all who bid. Thank you also to those who bid on my photos and note cards, you have great taste :)

There is currently another auction going on over at 2 Hounds Design. It ends on August 3rd, so get over there and bid. Now!

And lastly, an update on the 29 dog rescued from examiner.com. A number of the dogs are doing as well as can be expected, some are even showing great improvement. It is with great sadness, however, that I relay 4 have passed away; Rachel, Martin, Pudge and Braden, even with all the exceptional care given. Please remember there are still 25 dogs require extensive care and will for months. Donations to these groups are still needed. Here are the 7 groups that have taken in the dogs.

Greyhound Adoption League of Texas
Greyhounds Unlimited
Texas Italian Greyhound Rescue
Collin County Humane Society
Saluki Tree of Life Alliance
It’s a Grey Area Greyhound Adoption
All Breed Rescue of Texas
