PHOTOS FOR THE DAY - UPSTART

Marvin (in the lovely brindle coat) can get some pretty serious air. I've been trying to capture him with all 4s off the ground for a while now. Typically with the assistance of his Mom and a teasing squeaky toy. She, of course, got him to do a major flying leap earlier when I was turned away. So we tried again. Little did we know Marvin was about to be completely upstaged by a new visitor to our group today, fresh off the track (and still at racing weight - that is why she looks so skinny) and in foster to adopt.

It went a little like this:

Marvin: "Stop dangling that thing above my head and just give it to me."
Rowena: "Hmmmm. That looks like a tempting squeaks."



Rowena: "MINE!"
Marvin: "Dude!"

Marvin: "WTF, newbie?"
Rowena: "What?"

I've never seen a greyhound leap like that. We were completely surprised (as, it appears, was Marvin). It was awesome!

(On another note - see how attractive those screaming monkeys are to the greys? Go buy one and support greyhound rescue!) :-)

I LOVE HER! We have decided to give her more time and try to work the cat appetite away. I know a trainer up here that is willing to help. Fingers crossed!!

I heart Rowena! Thank gosh she's available all the way down in Tucson and I'm so far away! The picture of her innocent face at the end is so classic!
