Bevd Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 AARRGGHHHHHWAAAOOOOOAAAAAARGGHHHH - the word that comes our of your persons mouth when you spot a squirrel in the park and take off after it, draggign your human behind you like a kite (this phrase was tested out by Wallace when we took him and Maddison to a park today for a bit of a walk and an icecream All was well until we were heading down quite a steep slope. I had Wallace and Marc had Maddison. A squirrel appeared, did a squirrel dance and then headed up a tree - closely followed by Wallace and closely followed by me . Maddison, of course, was looking the wrong way and didn't notice a thing :lol) Deerhounds Darcy, Duffy, Grace & Wellington, Mutts Sprout & Buddy, Lurchers Ned & Jake plus Ella the Westie + cats.

Bevd Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 I'm tellin' ya Marnie - it was something else Only about 10 minutes earlier, Marc and I had said we wondered what Wallace would do if he saw a squirrel - and then we found out I actually had to drop the lead because the slope was steep and I was totally out of control. It was quite scary at the time (but funny afterwards). Luckily, he only went to the tree and stopped, sniffing around the bottom, and luckily, no-one else was around to witness this most ridiculous event. More luckily, Wallace didn't run off anywhere The lesson I've learnt is that if we're going to walk him in an area where there may be small furries, he'll have to either be held by Marc or have a body harness on so that I have full control at all times.

Guest Zigsdad Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 Sanfordizing: What your grey does to things while you are away leaving them in a heaping pile never to be used again. ie:Window blinds Yak: A pile of slobbery kibble left for later. Hoovering: The ability to suck kibble directly into the throat without chewing. This action usually results in Yak. See above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chris Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 Bunny Tossle ~ when you take your toy, shake it wildly and then toss it in the air. ...and it flies up and over the back of the couch, hits mom on the shoulder and bounces onto the tv tray containing her adult beverage, causing it to fall over and mom to yelp and say, "At least it wasn't RED wine!". chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest marnie Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 I know that some of these Greyhound definitions and terms have been around since Greyhound adoption first started....but I just like to keep adding to the list. Some, if not most, of the terms on this list are very original and very funny, and definately worth reading. My plan is to post this list on our Greyhound adoption group web site for our adopters to enjoy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelopesslave Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Penny asked me to add these to the list: Chez Garbahge: The best restaurant in town. It's an all you can eat smorgasbord, and every day there is a different menu! Only drawback: this restaurant closes when Mom comes home. Casa de Catfood: A great fast-food joint. I stop there several times a day just to pick up a little snack. Easy to grab and run when mom's not looking. Melissa, Penelope (LC's Wild Rose) Missing sweet Bell (EMK Bolivar Bell).
