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.

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.

And a very fake Latin accent…?

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.

IAlwaysUpvoteGreyhounds @upvotegreyhounds.bsky.social · 1d

“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.

I was curious about what you had related about Hunter’s back issues, so I sent a quick question to my GH breeder friend and got this for a reply.

“I think it is in both show and racing lines. It can be quite prevalent in certain lines, and it is certainly an issue in the lines I am dealing with.

Yes, I too have dog hair everywhere. For such short-coated hounds, they sure do give off enough dryer lint.

My Thomas came from Hollywood Casino somewhere in Florida. I managed to find some blurry videos of some of his races. The loveable “loser” came to shortly after his 2nd birthday, and was my bestest friend for another 11 years. There’ll never be another one as special as him for me.

Thank you.

IAlwaysUpvoteGreyhounds @upvotegreyhounds.bsky.social · 1d

Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear of this news. Poor Hunter, and poor you. He was a lovely, lovely dog.

That face is frame-worthy!

I’m talking above-the-mantlepiece worthy.

I found a treasure-trove of greyhound art/objects on Temu dot com, of all places. My credit card has been suitable ravished. Grab yourself a large coffee (or libation of your choice), and type “greyhound” into their search, and prepare to lose hours of time on “research”.
