Weekend Hound Blogging: Sleepy Daphne

November 12, 2006 • • 1 Comment

It’s late, so it seems fitting to post a picture of Daphne doing what she does best.

To check up on the other two, visit my wife’s blog to see her post about Phoebe’s birthday or read a little bit about Joey in this month’s Greyhound Pets of America – Central Texas newsletter (.pdf).

Weekend Hound Blogging: Three Greyhounds in One Picture!

November 4, 2006 • • Leave a comment

This was taken by our friend VP who came over to carve pumpkins last weekend (the P’s pumpkin was the one that wasn’t Paul Stanley). She is the first to successfully capture all three hounds in one frame.

Aren’t they sweet? Daphne is in charge, and in this picture you can see her leadership in the same way that you can see Washington’s in that famous painting of him crossing the Delaware.

Post-Halloween (Hell)Hound Blogging

November 1, 2006 • • 2 Comments

Now that my blog seems to be working again, and I’ve emerged from my candy coma, I can finally post the Halloween pictures.

We stayed home as we usually do and handed out candy to the kids who are brave enough to face the occasional barking of the pups, who were dressed to impress.

Here’s Captain “Jack-O-Lantern” Joe, terror of the high pond near our house…

Phearsome Phoebe, the Good(?) Witch of the Greenbelt…

And, keeping a low profile, as is her wont, Dangerous Daph, just as likely to trick as treat…

Weekend Hound Blogging: Trail Boss

Joey took his first trail walk on this perfect autumn weekend. It wasn’t too scary and it seems he’ll make a good hiking dog. Phoebe came along too, but Joey tended to stand between her and the camera.

Weekend Hound Blogging: Phoebe’s First Year Among the Apes

October 22, 2006 • • 3 Comments

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?

Weekend Hound Blogging: Joey Lobo

October 1, 2006 • • 4 Comments

Sometimes the wolf eats you, but mostly Joey eats the wolf.

Last week, I came home to find fluff everywhere. It seems that Joey and probably Phoebe (resting in the background after some wolf killin’) had disemboweled the poor thing. Fortunately my mom – conversant in the ancient art of sewing – was able to save him. She noticed that it was not his first surgery.

Yesterday, Joey and Wolf were reunited after a long week of sleepless nights spent wandering around the bedroom wolf huntin’.
