These are some of the greyhounds that I’ve had the privilege of looking after. Two of them belong to me, and others are related to Diego and come to stay a few days with us. Life is good when there’s a greyhound or two around.

Can’t find it on the Canadian feed. Bummer!

Miss Bennett, Happy Diwali to you and yours! Tonight, of all nights, you should get something good to eat, and bite those firecrackers right in the arse!

You don’t question yourself. You just go with your feelings. Your brain actually disengages from logic and schemes furtively on how to secure that one dog that’s suddenly imprinted on your eyeballs. And you just know that you’re physically unable to get back in your vehicle without signing papers

Thomas only ran a handful or races, and his best finish was third place. When I adopted him, he was only 3 months past his second birthday, so the owner didn’t seem to want to invest any more time and money in him. That was okay, because he wasn’t an aggressive dog at all, and I loved him for it.

Was he an ex-racer? They do seem to be prone to bone cancer due to the tremendous stresses on their joints and long bones.

I love Fraser, but I don’t recall that episode, but I can imagine the comedic possibilities. I foresee next week’s project now.

What would happen if you hid the car keys in there?

I’d like to submit the nose prints decorating the inside of my car windows for the list please.

Well, it’s just obvious now, your dog is Antifa.

As a Canadian observer, I, for one, thank all you Americans who are out there protesting against fascism and tyranny. I’m sure that there are many more eyes from all different countries watching and sending you their support as well.

I’m friends with a greyhound breeder, and very often they come to stay for a few weeks at a time, especially when he desperately needs a vacation.

The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers!!! Gosh I haven’t seen these since the 1970s. Phineas, Fatty, and who was the third one?

The groundhog managed to crawl under my back stoop and expired there. It was summer. The boards were nailed in a way that I couldn’t get undone. I’m surprised the cops didn’t show up at my place wanting to know about a dead body on my property.

In the last three years, within my fenced in yard, the carnage has been (so far) 9 rabbits, 1 groundhog, 1 black squirrel, and 4 birds. Guess who has to go out there with a plastic bag and the shovel at 5:30 in the morning. It doesn’t help that my neighbour keeps a vegetable garden in the summers.

Am I the only one who thinks that sea gulls sound musical?

The thing is, these billionaires couldn’t hack the work in their businesses themselves. They’re successful because they’ve HIRED the talent to make success happen, and they’ve built on that success exponentially. Can Bezos run the WP? He’s certainly not qualified.

Needs a pencil-thin moustache to be a true lounge lizard. Maybe with a mascara wand?

I’m still very sorry for your loss.

“But I don’t think kinked tails have any connection to spinal issues in greyhounds, like lumbosacral stenosis, which may be so painful and debilitating that it could lead to a dog being euthanized.”

So I’m sorry about misinforming you earlier, I was mistaken in my understanding.

“I have seen a show greyhound with such a severely kinked tail that it couldn’t hold its tail in a curved fashion. The tail hung straight down, even when the dog was moving, because the tail wasn’t flexible.

“However, the issue is mostly cosmetic—it doesn’t usually come with any other health issues, so it is mostly unappealing to look at. Dogs with kinked tails go through life perfectly happily, for the most part. In some cases, severe kinks can impair tail use.
