Planning a little mayhem? Such a beautiful sunrise. And the hounds' coat colors match the mountains and the trees.

Congreytulations on Logan's good health! Would Logan tolerate* or learn to tolerate daily dental wipes? They're a mild preventative to plaque although of course do not get under gumline or in between teeth. * I was going to write "stand for" instead of "tolerate," but judging by the pictures Logan isn't standing for much except his long walks.

We have some good nominations here for alarm clock sounds.

Knitting is hard because she is trying to recouperate and the human keeps moving her hands and disturbing her.

Poor baby Rocket! His legs were attacked by a scary monster in the dark! The only good thing about the Greyhound Scream of Death (GSOD) is that it usually signals nothing major. When it is something serious, the hounds go all stoic. But it's hard to think of that in the immediate aftermath of the shock on your eardrums and heart rate. My favorite GSOD story is of when about a dozen hounds were running and playing in a big field next to our adoption kennel. Suddenly, a dog pulled up short, screamed, and held up a front paw. Humans ran to her from all corners of the field, convinced it was a broken leg at the least. No, the little girl had stepped on a slug and it had gotten wedged between her paw pads. She wanted the whole world to know just exactly how DISGUSTING that felt.

Good for Annie! So Punkin escaped this time, except for the no breakfast?

That girl is intense. Whereas Doolin just stretches out a little further in his stride and brings it home. Racing -- a family affair.

Since he's a greyhound, wouldn't a coat of legs be more suitable? Speaking of excellent pictures, AnneGTS -- it has been much too long since we have seen pictures of your girls.

Cue the shark theme from Jaws.

How much of that beautiful, newly green grass will be torn up into muddy turf in the next few minutes?

Next skill -- skijoring!

What dog? Where? But she's just gotten the petunia-flamingo one's feel and smell broken in to perfection

Welcome to you and Kayra! I have to admit that one of the big attractions for me with retired racing greyhounds is skipping the puppy stage. But now we get to enjoy it vicariously through you. How old was Kayra when you got her?

Don, you may remember my mother grew up in the Valley and in Phoenix itself. A couple of times during her school years, when the mountains surrounding the Valley had heavy snowfalls, all classes were cancelled and every kid who had any access to anybody who could drive them went up into the mountains to play. Phoenix version of a snow day. PS: Was that originally Petunia's coat? Flowers look kind of petunia-y.

Are you able to measure their stride length in a run by their paw prints? Whatever the difference in length, I bet she's more agile on the turns.

Those African painted dog hunting packs have nothing on greyhoundies. PS: I don't leave food wrappers/napkins around, but I do forget that Gelsey goes for the used, snotty kleenexes, too.

Even though it was a cold trail, the Mighty Hunter successfully stalked her prey. Pretty girl!

Those hounds could make a living as neck models

Will you take the hounds with you?

Sleepy co-pilot and one-handed driver

Happy birthday to roo Happy birthday to roo Happy birthday, dear Wiki Happy birthday to rooooooooooooooooooooooooooo from the duet of Milo (high tenor) and Gelsey (squeaky alto)

I see your Wow and raise you a Yowzers! I would not want to meet Mooney on a dark night in a back alley! Well, actually I would like to meet Mooney anytime, but you know what I mean. What a stunning hound.
