  1. Greyt Graters? Molar Masceration? If Wiki would allow the use of her name, it could be WikiWreaks. Or if we offered a premium service of hound pee so that no one would ever, ever want to touch the papers again, it could be WikiLeaks. Except there might be a little copyright infringement there.
  2. What a satisfying ripping and tearing sound! You know you've accomplished something noteworthy when you hear that. Dear Bazzy's specialty was magazines and books. Preferably library books.
  3. Genius PLUS superbly coordinated. How she can get all those long legs switched around on the stairs so she can go up in reverse is just amazing.
  4. And you coordinate with the couch! Have fun eating your special treats upside down.
  5. Critter Fixers, Season 4, Episode 9 "Leaping Lizards" One of the main storylines is of Rowan, a brindle grey with seizures. Actual footage of him having a seizure while at the vet. It was hard seeing him even after the seizure, so hot, stressed, and confused. But after he's on an even keel for a few days, he gets to go home. I've avoided this show for years, thinking from the advertisements that it was another of what I call "professionally southern" shows where the people yuk it up so the rest of the world can poke fun at the stupid Southerners. But when animal care is involved, the talk is straightforward and sensible. It was kind of funny hearing the vet tech panic a little trying to get Rowan out of the crate to go home. In typical greyhound fashion, he was sleeping and didn't see any reason to leave his comfy nest.
  6. Oh, Tiger is stunning! Were you tempted to steal him away in your suitcase?
  7. LaVida, isn't it exhausting keeping your tail up in the air like that? Learn to relax, girl! Enjoy your weekend off. Such a beautiful girl, even upside down. Or maybe especially upside down.
  8. Welcome, beautiful podenco! Putting on my speech therapist hat, I'll note that I read an article that dogs understand the first sounds in a word the best. So rather than looking for a name that rhymes with Noah, as you were thinking of before, in which the last parts of the names are similar, it would be easier on the dog to learn to pay attention to another word that begins with an "n". Like Nelson or Neville. But then you run into the "No" problem. But all of your smart doggies are learning, so problem overcome. One reason they are distinguishing "No Ah" is that the longer pause between the two syllables makes it easier for them to pick out than Norton, for example.
  9. Happiest of birthdays, handsome guy! Hope you've got a long string of special events and treats this whole weekend -- you deserve it. Milo seconds the welcome to Club 13.
  10. I thought I'd run a scenario through the GT opinion poll. The dogs adore the current dogwalker and he's reliable, but he doesn't communicate well (expressive or receptive). This problem is compounded by the fact that he comes by when I am at work, so we mostly communicate by texts and notes. Background: Gelsey has been gaining weight. I told dogwalker that she is on a diet. He said "Guess I should stop giving her treats for all her cute antics." Basic instruction was 1 treat a visit. Yesterday I came home to find he had ignored the 4 (FOUR! quattro! vier!) already-opened containers of dog treats on the kitchen counter, gone into the dogfood cabinet and opened a 5th treat. And then left the boxtop on the counter for me to throw away. I feel like I'm living in a house with a rampaging teenager going through my pantry. But he's not a teenager, let alone my teenager. He's a grad student. Am I justifiably pissed, or am I making this bigger than it should be?
  11. To paraphrase the immortal Jerry Lee Lewis: Come on over, baby, whole lotta shakin' racin' goin' onYes I said come on over, baby, baby, you can't go wrongWe ain't fakin' a whole lotta shakin' racin' goin' on What were the non-sighthounds doing while all this high speed running was going on?
  12. Made even more poignant now that one is gone.
  13. Poor baby. That moustache gash looks quite painful. I agree with the medicines listed above -- fish and chips, or maybe some salmon (so good for the healing of skin and fur!), or maybe some lightly seared mince. And you do look quite the discerning fashound with your mod stripes and lightening bolts.
  14. Starbuck and Kara display a power combination of stripes in that picture.
  15. No experience, but sending best wishes for your sugar and spice girl.
  16. Adam -- we hope you got many, many treats and extra pets to make up for this terrible neglect.
  17. At least they don't need dental implants. Good work, dudette, dude, and co-conspiridude
  18. Keeping all paws crossed for Bolt.
