One year ago today, Action Phoebe, the hound of adventure, came to live with us. Over the past year, she’s learned to go for walks, got an education, had a few baths, and made herself at home. She came to us as a spooky greyhound, but she’s come out of her shell so much that people have remarked that she’s turned into a lab.
Her real birthday is November 8th when she’ll turn 3, but we celebrated today with a long walk down the trail near our house and perhaps, later, they’ll enjoy a bowl of Frosty Paws. She’s a great dog, but then aren’t they all?

Congratulations on making such a difference in a greyhound’s life. Phoebe is one lucky dog!
Happy Dogiversary! She’s a real character, that Phoebe.
PS. I love your hound posts, you really capture great photos (and antics) of your pups.
Heather, Actually, I think we’re the lucky ones.
Amy, Thanks. I probably take more pictures of the pups than anything else. It’s like wildlife photography in your home.
