Barkings of a GREYHOUND

City Farmers Browns Plains Promo

2010-03-07T09:49:00.005+10:00

Hidy Ho friends
Well did'nt we have a great day yesterday. Mama J took us to our first Greyhound Promotion for the year at City Farmers. We caught up with Leona, Butch, Gypsy, Sally and Ruby. The people who run the shop where very friendly to us.
Now Grace tell everyone what you did it's your turn to be a disGRACE (BOL BOL) for a change
Do I have to
Yes you do
oh alright well its seems that I had a sensory overload some many smells and one smell stood out in particular. Mama J was curious to see what was making my nose twitch so much so we went for a walk and I lead her straight to the CHICKENS *drowl drowl* so many to choose from I mean look at then I did the unforgivable I started barking oh Mama J was sooooo embarrassed especially as I am the good girl
Yeah Mama J is going to use that term loosely from now on - BOL BOL
GRRRR. anyway she dragged me back and made me lay on my mat. I can still here their little voices "cheep cheep" -"come and play Grace come and play" over and over in my head it was so unfair. I then started to whine abit. Let me tell you Mama J was not impressed. I decided to get a bit of revenge back so when mama J moved away from me I would start to whine until she came back hehehe naughty are'nt I. I finally settled down after chowing down on a pigs ear instead. all in all it was a great day so we will leave you with some photos from the day till next time

I'm the queen of the castle and you're the dirty rascal

2010-02-09T23:16:00.003+10:00

Howdy folks

Milly the monster here. Thought I would sneak on the puter whilst Madam Cranky Pants was sleeping. Mama J took us to the park on Sunday (in between rain spells) and boy oh boy did we have fun. I was running up and down the fence line bouncing in the puddles, Grace was going absolutely crazy Mama J kept screaming at her to slow down in case she slipped and broke a leg or something but neither of us took any notice of her (BOL BOL) she spent most of the time running around in the mud trying to catch us but hey do you seriously think she was going to succeed nup nada nix not a chance. Anyway we all had fun but Mama J did have the last laugh. When she got us home I knew we were in for it when she did not take us inside but took us around the side of the house were the dreaded hose is. Yep you got it she hosed us down boy did we look a sorry sight after it she kept muttering "run away from me will you well we will just see who is running now" then Papa E came out and rescued us and gave us a nice towel dry. We were'nt allowed in the house for a while but my pathetic whimpering at the door got to much and they succumbed and let us in.

I was pawing through Mama J's camera and found these photos and could not resist putting them up. Man is Grace going to chuck a fit when she sees what photos I have been putting on the blog but hey if you give you gotta expect to get got so I would like to present ME the queen lounging on the bed and GRACE the peasant on the floor like a common dog (BOL BOL BOL) if you don't know what BOL is it means "Bark Out Loud" its the doggy equivilent to LOL. Enjoy the photos they and me may not last long once Grace finds them

*MWAH*

Have I told you guys how much I HATE thunderstorms

2010-02-08T22:12:00.000+10:00

Man I don't think that I like summer very much not only do us greys have to put up with the stinking heat we also well I also have to contend with those nasty thunderstorms. We had another the other night that sort of snuck up on us. Let me tell you I near peed my bed when that thunder sounded. Milly lept up as if to say' who what where why how come what for " she sort of looked a bit scary herself.
Well what do you expect Grace you scared the life out of me when you lept up out of bed.
I headed for Mama J's recliner and made myself comfortable on that maybe I was thinking that if my feet don't touch the ground the thunder won't get me. Of course Mama J had to get that stupid camera out . I looked "so cute" she says I'll give her cute wait till she leaves one of her precious scrapbooking pages out hehehe we will see who is cute then.
Oh man you are Nasty tonight Grace.
Well I don't like being scared and Mama J should not say I look cute when I am shaking in my paws.
Well anyway that was the other night I have watching the weatherman real close and he is not predicting any storms at the moment so hopefully I can settle down again till the next one. Any way thats all folks have a good week and I will catch up with you all soon
*MWAH*
Grace & Milly

Hey Pssssst *Milly whispering* you guys you wanna see that photo hehehehehe

Off To The Beach

2010-01-12T10:17:00.008+10:00

After 3 weeks of rather yukky weather we finally got a beautiful day so Mama J and Papa E took Milly and myself off to the Spit at Main Beach. Man was it crowded but it sure was a lovely day. I did'nt mind going for the walks but I really REALLY did not like the swimming part but Mama J made me go in and how embarrassing she had to hold me like I was some dang pup that could'nt swim. Mama J said I looked so cute with my little head sticking out of the water sitting over her shoulder then she made me swim back to shore. I managed to do that with as much dignity as I could muster and I held my head up high as I staggered out of the water. Mama J then took Milly in.
I was scared to Grace but after a while I got use to it and she also made me swim back to shore.
After our little torture session was over it was back to the shade and a nice lie down with some treats. Mill and I both crashed when we got home. Hope you enjoy the photos

till next time

*MWAH*

GAP January walk

2010-01-11T10:53:00.008+10:00

Hey
Hope the new year is treating all my GREYT friends well. Well we had our first GAP walk to Southbank on Saturday Jan 9th. It was nice to catch up with my buddy Murphy and Milly and I got to meet Prancer his foster brother. Leona and Butch were there as well as Bling, Harry, Tammy and a couple of other greys that I can't quite remember. HEY MILL can you remember who else was at the walk.
No sorry Grace.
Oh well not to worry we had a nice walk although it did get a bit scary in a couple of places. We were all just walking along when Mama J turned round and could'nt see half our group. they just disappeared. so we continue walking hoping to meet them back at the starting point. we starting walking through this nice cool rainforest part and zowy we last another person and grey. Mama J was getting worried (she watches alot of horror movies) she was starting to think that someone was kidnapping all the Greyt Greyhounds of Brisbane. She said to me " don't panic Grace just don't start running because if youu do you will fall over and hurt your ankle well I have four ankles so there was no way I was going to start running. If anyone attacked us I would of just thrown Milly at them.
Hey Grace not nice.
Just joking BOL BOL Anyway we made it out of the rainforest remaining group intact and back to the starting point. We finally managed to meet all our group again thank goodness it was just a case of chatting with friends and walking through markets except for poor Butch the heat got to him and he had to rest (I just think he did not want to walk anymore with that pink muzzle on). Anyway it was a nice walk so till next time here are some photos from the day
*MWAH*
Grace & Milly

hehehheh Grace did'nt tell you about this little incident did she. BOL BOL. guess who would'nt go down the stairs BOL BOL

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

2010-01-01T21:35:00.003+10:00

Well finally someone has remembered my birthday. Last year Mama J forgot but this year she got it right. Mama J made me a new collar and it is a nice purple one that I think I look drop dead gorgeous in. I also got a pigs ear and a schmako chew thingy. Mama J also made some doggy friendly cupcakes to take to the park with some doggy lolly bags. mama J had to keep making sure that the humans at the park did not eat the cupcakes as they had schmakos in them BOL BOL. Then after tea Mama J and Papa E and Big Bro A sang happy birthday to me and even Milly had a party hat on. They had to sing pretty fast as my tongue was getting awful close to the candle. hmmmm burnt doggy hair not a great smell I would be thinking. Anyway that is about all. Milly and I had a really quiet christmas. Mama J did'nt even take any photos. Silly Big Bro A hurt the hound mobile on christmas Eve so that sought of took the sparkle out of christmas but they did not forget my birthday so that was even better. Here are some photos from today till next time take care and HAPPY NEW YEAR.

2009-11-07T06:24:00.004+10:00

ohhhhhhhh not good not good no not good at all. Thunderstorms came over on Thursday night and then again on Friday. Mama J and Papa E wanted to go away but wouldn't go till I had settled down abit also because I would not get out of the car. They knew I was serious about the storms as I NEVER get in the car. I must say thank you to Milly for trying to comfort me on Thursday night everywhere I went she went with me trying to help keep my mind off things and then when I finally layed down she stood over the top of me trying to protect me. Thanks Mill I really appreciated your concern and so did Mama J.
Aww shucks *blushing* Grace don't go soft on me but you are most welcome. I know how frightened you get in thunderstorms.

If you leave me can I come too
You are in my power you can not leave me in this storm. I will not get out of this car

Sorry Mama J. Anyway the "chairman" has left the building get it Frank as in Frank Sinatra BOL BOL. Seriously I hope you do have a great life with your new adoptive family Franky boy. We will all miss you yes even me. bye big fella

Vets Vets Vets

2009-10-17T08:20:00.003+10:00

Hi folks its Mama J here. thought I had better enter this post as I was'nt going to allow Milly to have fun with it. Its been all excitement here recently. On Thursday night there seems to have been a bit of an altercation between Grace, Frank & a bone. Unfortunately Grace came off second best. If I try and reconstruct the series of events I believe it may go like this.

Papa E decided to give the dogs a bone -this old man came rol- sorry about that could'nt help myself. Anyway Frank demolished his and as per usual decided to see if he could maybe help one of the girls. Now we have no witnesses to this but Papa E heard an almighty row going down but just put it down to one of the girls defending her bone. When I came home from work Frank and Milly greeted me but no Grace. I hardly saw her all night. Around about 8.30pm she was in the lounge room and she keep licking her lips like she was trying to get something out of her mouth I thought that she may of had something stuck so I stuck my fingers down her throat but nothing I was'nt till I was checking her mouth out that I discovered her 2 front teeth were sticking out in front. We think that in defence of her bone she bit down too hard and knocked her 2 front teeth out of alignment. My poor baby I felt so bad that I had not noticed this earlier I felt really guilty bad mama J bad Mama J. So first thing Friday morning off Frank and Grace go to the vets. Frank for his snip and Grace to get these 2 teeth sorted out. So an anxious day was had by me I picked my babies up at about 5pm it was like walking with 2 drunks. They are both fine today although I think Grace is still P**ssed off as she is not talking to anyone this morning. I hope her mood improves. So there you have it 2 dogs 2 anaesthetics and $200 poorer. till the girls catch up with you next time

Ipswich Greyhound Walk

2009-10-11T09:08:00.002+10:00

Hi folks. Things here at Casa Greyhound have been topsy turvey for a few days. First Frank had to get his eyes seen to and then there was a slight drama with Millie's heartworm status but thank goodness everything is good. Except Mama J got cranky at Frank and Millie because they stole half her dinner when she walked away to get something. They pretended that they were asleep and when she got back half her dinner was done and then Frank jumped in her spot on the couch and looked like he was going to polish off the rest of her wine BOL BOL.

Oh Grace that was soooooooooo last week if you can't blog properly then maybe you should not blog at all

why you little upstart don't you be starting on me miss goody two shoes

Girls Girls Girls

SHUT UP FRANK SHUT UP FRANK
Ok well we went on our walk last week to Ipswich that was fun

but it was'nt fun when Mama J made us all have a bath on the way home.

Frank went back to the vets again and his eyes have improved dramatically. He no longer runs into things and he is running around at the park like a mad man. Hehehehe Frank is going back to the vets again on Friday and lets just say that well he won't be BIG MAN on campus anymore BOL BOL BOL.

Ooooohhhhhhhh Grace don't be so mean.

Day trip to Bribie Island

2009-09-20T20:31:00.003+10:00

Hi folks my name is Frank, Mama J said I could get on and type up todays outing. The girls are in bed asleep so here goes. Well I suppose I should explain who I am. I came to stay at what the girls affectionately call Casa Greyhound last week. My eyesight is pretty bad at the moment and I am having some treatment to try and help or at least slow things down. I don't know what is going to happen to me in the future I guess I will just take one day at a time. Its lucky I can touch type BOL BOL. Up until last year I was a relatively successful racer I even had a couple of wins my racing name was "ALPHA LEATHER" you know "hell for leather" BOL BOL. Anyway Mama J and Big Bro A and us mutts went up to Bribie Island to have a look at someone named "Murphy"s beach I thought it was called Red beach but Grace and Milly kept talking about a friend of their's that comes up here. We had a nice day and went for a walk Big Bro A tried to take us into the water at first it was exciting but then we discovered it was cold and Milly kept laughing at Grace because she kept putting -on what Milly calls - her brakes and refused to go. I am starting to feel a bit sleepy so I will leave you with some photos from today catch you all another day

Emergency Foster

2009-09-16T20:56:00.004+10:00

Hi guys I thought I would quickly get on while Grace is asleep and tell you about our new foster dog. Mama J got a phone call this morning from Aunty Rebecca asking if we would mind helping out with a grey that had to come back into the program of course Mama J crusader of all this Grey said yep count me in so we took a trip down to Nerang and picked up Frank. Poor Frank seems to be having some problems with his eyes that we have to get checked out ASAP so Mama J thought I could be his seeing eye dog. Me she picked Me. I am proud to say I did not let her down. I was such a good girl I welcomed Frank with open paws and we travelled home together in the back mind you he DID take up all the room and I had to stand up the whole way home. Anyway Frank has settled in nicely and Mama J is taking him to the vets tomorrow morning on her way to work. We don't know how long he is staying all depends on how well he behaves. There is not a lot of room at Casa Greyhound but so far things are fine. Anyway I think I hear Grace stirring so I had better get off. I am posting some photos of our new friend. cheers till next time

Milly

Do I looked amused that there is a new dog in the house I think NOT

Its Spring time

2009-09-05T07:46:00.006+10:00

Hello friends how is life treating you all. Things have been quite boring at Casa Greyhound. Mama J has been working full time and has been neglecting our walks. NOT HAPPY FIDO. But she says she is taking us on a Greyhound walk today HELLO its RAINING. I swear if she puts me in a raincoat I will just have to bite her BOL. Ok lets see what the Millster and I have been up to oh yeah thats right NOTHING. Ok I lied we did have Big Bro A's 18th last week and yes mama J dressed us up. I got to eat some birthday cake which was yummy.

The day got way to much for me

For some strange unknownst reason Mamma J wants me as a lap dog.

She saw that Leela sat on her mums lap so now I have to do the same. I just let her do want she wants if it keeps the peace. I think Mama J is feeling a bit fragile these days so the Monster & I try and cheer her up when we can. Well thats it for the moment I am going to see if I can russle up some breaky.

EKKA Promotion

2009-08-10T20:47:00.004+10:00

Well today was a big day for Mama J and myself. We went to the EKKA and helped promote the Greyhound Adoption Program. It was a busy busy day but a lot of fun.
Hey Grace hehehe tell them hehe haaahhhaaa what heeehhhhee you did in the arena hahahahah.
NO
come on its your turn for disGRACE
No No NO
Okay I will tell them
Grace and some of the other greys got a chance to show off in the main arena at the dog pavillion while Kirsty was talking about the program and when the dogs where doing a little run around SOMEBODY stopped in the middle and got stage fright and froze and refused to move. Mama J was so embarrassed she had to push Grace out of the ring hahahahahahahahah.
We got lots of enquiries about fostering and adopting so it was a good day despite my disgrace. Here are some photo that Mama J took. She said to appologise about the quality of the photos she did not take her camera but Papa E's little point and shoot.

You are in my Power. Give me a biscuit

Grrrrrrrr

Hello its your roving reporter "Grace the Greyt" reporting about her and Milly's recent galavantings. Since the muzzle free day walk Mama J has decided that it is about time we got onto the Greyhound Promotional Trail (minus Milly). I have been to 2 promos so far one at Chapel Hill

And the other promo was at Morningside (Mama J does'nt think she took any photos for that one).

On August 2nd Mama J and Papa E took me and Mills on a greyhound walk. Milly was a little bit titchy but on the whole she was quite a good girl Mama J was very impressed with her.

See I knew I could be good I just had to think about it real real hard.

Yay for Milly

Our walk was around UQ (University of Queensland) apparently smart people go there to learn things. I'm sure Milly and I could go there if we wanted to

On Saturday afternoon we went over to grandma Zena's new house and Uncle L's little dog Charlie was there Mama J nearly had a heart attack because Milly did not have her muzzle on.

Ah but wait for it

Milly was ever so nice to Charlie. she played really nice with him and did not snap or anything. Mind you where ever he went Milly went. Mama J was so happy.

The next big event I am going to is the EKKA. We will be near the dog pavillion with the Greyhound Adoption Program people on Monday the 10th August so if any of my loyal followers are attending the EKKA on that Monday pop down and say hello (*psst* can you sneak me one of those strawberry icecreams)

So behind in my post DOH

2009-07-13T21:07:00.001+10:00

I always feel guilty when I read Murphys blog and realise that I have not updated. Mama J always comments on what a good blogger Murphy is. Well I will show her. okay where do I begin. Oh yeah our muzzle free walk at New Farm park on the 12th July. That was a great morning there were so many greys we even ran into Milly's mum again and I am pleased to announce that Milly did not snap at her. *chuckle chuckle* that was the ONLY greyhound our Milly did not snap at *BOL BOL* She mortified Mama J all morning with her grouchy moods *BOL BOL*
You are so not nice Grace. One day you will get yours mark my words you you you goody 2 shoes greyhound.
Oh Milly Milly Milly. You know I love you but you gotta admit you are hopeless with crowds.
Yeah well Mama J has fixed that has'nt she. She said she won't be taking me to any more greyhound promotions. I might as well pack up my food bowl and run away.
Now now Milly don' get your fur in a fluster. You know how upset Mama J is when she leaves you behind. You know she thinks your the greatest when it comes to hopping in the car and you always make her laugh when you stick you head out the window.
Really Grace
Yes really you big dope. I wish she would'nt take me sometimes as I hate getting in the car.
Thats right she was getting cranky with you at the walk because you would only walk away from the car park you refused to move if it looked like you were heading for the car *BOL BOL*
Yeah yeah alright.

Gold Coast Expo

2009-06-29T21:51:00.005+10:00

Mama J and I went to the gold Coast Pet Expo on Sunday it was a fun day. Milly was really cranky with us because she wasn't allowed to go and had to stay home.

Yeah no fair I would of been good

Millllllllyyyyyyyyyy you know that you would not of been able to resist getting snippy with someone for looking at you the wrong way.

hummmph

Anyway it was a good day except for one small hiccup. I realised at the Expo that I don't do stairs. I went up ok the first time but got stair fright on the way down. Mama J forgot that I have had no real stair training as there really has never been a need for it. So I put the brakes on when Mama J wanted to go back up the stupid things. so that ended our time at the indoor part of the expo. Oh gotta tell you about the poodle *BOL BOL* how embarrassing. I can't stop laughing so I will just show you the picture instead. Mama J loved the photo of Smartie sitting on Leanne's lap she thought it was so good she made me sit on her lap tonight. It was'nt too bad and it made Mama J happy that I actually stayed there. Papa E threaten to squirt me for being on the couch but Mama J said techinically I was not on the couch but on her so he was not allowed to squirt me heheh nice one Mama J. Anyway thats about it for now. 2 more sleeps then our muzzle come off for good yay we are so excited about that so come around July 1 woo hoo

take care

Hello my friends I hope this wintery afternoon finds you all well. Life at Casa Greyhound has been relatively peaceful. Milly's foot is slowly getting better. We went to Wynnum on Sunday for fish and chips awwwggggg mmmmm fish and chips *doggy drool*. It was Mama J's birthday on Monday so we decided to celebrate on Sunday instead. It was lovely being down by the water.
We went for a nice walk. I was soooooo glad Mama J bought the bandage and dressing for my foot cause i did'nt want to walk on the concrete and make it start bleeding again. I was so happy when I saw her bring out the bandage that I just had to hold my foot up so she would'nt forget to do it. Mama J thought that was really cute
Oh Millie you crawler.
PLBBBBBBBBBBBBTTTTTTT.
I saw you pretending to limp to get some sympathy hugs.
Hey I had a sore muscle.
Well if you exercised more and got off you fat butt you would'nt get sore
I DO NOT HAVE A FAT BUTT I am just muscly thats all

The worst thing that could of happened to me has happened. I cut my paw at the dog park the other day. It is so sore. Mama J washed it with some betadine but I did not like that very much she almost cried. She kept it wrapped up over night and took the bandage off the next morning. Grace says I look pathetic hobbling around the house its okay for her she has 4 good paws I only have 3. We were sending Mama J stir crazy around the house because she could'nt take us to the park because I my foot but she finally relented and took us for a walk instead. I limped most of the way but I did not mind as I was finally allowed outside. I hope it heals soon as I want to get back and go for a run. Anyway I am doing ok so don't worry about me. Here is a photo

MMMMM Massage

2009-05-30T21:51:00.000+10:00

Well we went for our massages this weekend. MMMMMMM Massage it was so nice. Except you-know-who did her usual you-know-what. But I must say I did feel sorry for her when she told me what happened on the carpet *whispers* her tummy was a bit upset and Mama J had to rush her outside to finish the rest of the job.

GRACE oh I am sooooooooooooooooo not talking to you, MAMA J GRACE IS TELLING EVERYONE ABOUT MY ACCIDENT.

Don't worry Milly everyone nows who is the scaredy cat who won't jump in the car and its not you

phbllllllllllllllllll

*Grumble Grumble *

It was good to see all our friends again and a couple of new ones.

Oh yeah *jumping up and down* Mum was at the massage course to and I went up and gave her a hug well I sniffed her butt but it is the same in greyhound language.

Hello to Lacey, Priscilla, Homer, Ruby Shirley, Murph, Buttons and Jaydee. Here are some photos from the weekend till next time

Grace &Milly

Somebody stop Mama J

2009-05-24T21:15:00.004+10:00

Ah man enoughs enough. Mama J has just gone too far. Will you look what she did to me and then made me walk up the street. Milly was lucky she managed to rip hers so Mama J had to take hers off but no not me I had to walk all the way to the park like this. I am so glad I did not see any of my friends.

Well popeye has left the building. He was'nt a bad dog but man did he have some energy he even out ran Milly.
I'll say. He was fast. I liked him a lot. I hope he finds a new forever home soon.
Unfortunately Mama J says we can't have any more dogs at Casa Greyhound. Me personally I don't mind but Mama J loves to foster greyhounds so that makes her sad.
I'll give her plenty of kisses and cuddles so she won't miss not having other dogs.
Mama J has been busy sewing this weekend. She has made us each a bronco's coat which Milly and I kept pulling off hehehehe. Tonight she made us both new sleeping coats. We think they look pretty. Papa E and Big Bro A laughed at us and said they were girly Hello what are we. Anyway Mama J said to show you guys some photos so here they are
till next time

xx Grace
xx Milly

See you later

2009-05-22T07:05:00.000+10:00

Well just got the word I am moving on. Mama J said that the house was just not big enough for 3 greyhounds. She is really sad that she had to do that as I seemed to of wormed my way into her heart. So guys I guess this is goodbye. Milly my sister in crime it has been a blast. Grace you big lug I know you liked me. Please don't say anything as it is hard enough and Macho greyhounds don't cry.
*mwah*
Popeye

BUSTED

2009-05-20T18:30:00.004+10:00

Oh dear me Mama J busted me on Big Bro A's bed. Apparently a new rule had been set that no dogs on couches or beds. then Papa E came out early one morning and busted me on the couch he got the spray bottle and kept squirting me "alright alright already no need to drown me" well thats the look I gave him.
Yeah she got me to the other night. Mama J was in the spa and I was just scoping out the couch and she saw me and gave me that look that says "don't even think about it" so I thought better about it and I moved on. But something inside me just could not resist the couch so I jumped up and then made that fatal mistake of looking out the window yep she was watching me. I think she said a couple of naughty words and shaking her hand at me so I thought I had better get off.
Isn't it nice to have our coats on again especially now that it is starting to cool down. Mama J says she is making us some new ones. Papa E said he wanted us to have Bronco coats so that we can watch the football with him.

Having Fun At The Park

2009-05-20T07:19:00.000+10:00

Hello Popeye

2009-05-06T15:25:00.004+10:00

Well the new comer has arrived his name is Popeye. I was very polite when we sniffed each other but when he turned his back I jumped on his bed and claimed it as mine heheheh.

Hey Grace I was sooooooo good when we went to get popeye I was real friendly and I wagged my tail and we sniffed like old friends Mama J was soooo proud of me then she took us both for a bath hehehehe Popeye peed on the floor hehehe Mama J did'nt take to kindly to that. Hey did you tell them what happened last night.

Ahhhh no Milly I did'nt lets not talk about that
ohhhhh so its different when you do something wrong but you can blab to everyone when I do something wrong
Oh alright you irritating pest. I sort of got into Mama J's paints last night and sort of painted the lounge room carpet orange in lots of places. Papa E was sooooo not impressed he kicked me outside and I had to sleep there. At least he got the paint out. Mama J was at work but she gave me cuddles when she came home. she tried to get me to come in side but I was'nt going the chance Papa E finding out that I had snuck back inside he was sooooo cranky and he did'nt speak very nicely to me.

heheheheheh about time you got into trouble

MILLY you are walking a fine line girlfriend and don't think just because we have visitors that Iwon't bite you

Just you try it Grace. Popeye will bite you back

Yo girlfriends don't be bringing me into your fights. I gotta be on me best behaviour if I want to stay for a while so youse to go and sort your own problems out I want to fly under the radar for a while.

Well Mr smarty pants if you want to stay here I suggest you stop peeing on everything. Mama J ain't going to take to kindly to you marking everything especially the spa.

Oh dear do you think she will get real upset and send me away. I gots no where else to go.

Well just ease up on the peeing leg cocker and you will be alright.

Hey Milly I think its time to introduce Popeye to the park

2009-03-22T13:54:00.003+10:00

Wow we went to Shorncliffe today and man you should of seen all the greyhounds that were there. Mama J counted 16 of us.
Don't say it Grace

Don't tell them I snapped and growled at everyone
Um Milly I don't have to you just did

Mama J said to put some pictures up so here they are see you all later.
Come on Milly lets go and con a bone
Oh Grace you tricked me

You let me think that you were going to tell them what I did at the walk
Did not
Did to
Did not and if you argue with me I am going to BITE you
I'm telling Mama J
Sooky La La
MAMA J GRACE IS PICKING ON ME
Oh I am outta here. Now to go and find me that bone BY MYSELF

Whats a Skanky Ho

2009-03-19T20:49:00.003+10:00

Mama J keeps calling me and Milly Skanky Ho's. Can anyone tell me what that is she says it all the time when we lay on the couch on our backs. I don't get it?????.

Oh well must be something only Mama J understands. Milly and I went to the Vets the other day I had to go and get my vaccinations and heart worm and Milly just came to keep me company. The vet says I have fantastic teeth and he was really surprised, see a bone a day keeps the vet away. The vet checked me all out and says I am in perfect health. I was so good when it came to my needles I did'nt even yelp or move or anything. Mama J said she was so proud of me. Milly was lucky she did'nt have to have her needles yet and the vet says she had good teeth to but Milly did'nt like having her mouth, or ears checked she was a real Whimp
GRACE I'll tell Mama J you are picking on me AGAIN.
Well I'm only telling the truth Milly. Mama J told me off the other night for making Nana Bosch move along the couch so I could get up. Hey everyone KNOWS I sleep there someone should of told Nana Bosch that.
hehehehehehhe

2009-03-08T08:42:00.010+10:00

Awww man are we in trouble. Mama J has just been to our blog and saw that we have not been here since Christmas. She ripped through us like a Greyhound through a rabbit. I think Milly is still cowering under the couch.
Has she gone Grace*peeks head out from under couch*.
Get out here you sooky la la. Now I suppose we should cover a bit of old ground first. Since christmas life has been pretty good at "Casa Greyhound" we have been to the beach. We discovered that swimming really was'nt our fortae but Mama J held onto us she said something about life jackets for christmas that does'nt sound promising.

Mama J and Papa E went on a cruise for a couple of weeks and left us at home with a house sitter (Lisa) and Big Bro A. Mama J nearly had a heart attack when she came home and saw how much weight we had put on. There seemed to be some confusion about when my birthday is one lot of paperwork says 1st of January 2004 (everyone forgot about that) and one lot said 23rd February 2004 (also forgotten) so it was eventually figured out that my birthday was 1st January 2004.

They did'nt forget my birthday it was on 14th February when Mama J and Papa E came home from holidays.

SHUT UP Milly or I will come over and bite you.

OOHHHH someone is a bit touchy. Don't worry Grace you know how bad Mama j felt when she realised she had missed your birthday. I am sure she will never forget again.

Yeah your right Milly. Ok so what else has been happening. Hhhhhmmmmm Oh yeah we started back with the greyhound walks that was fun we went to the botanical gardens in the city then stopped at a cafe for coffee well Mama J and her friends did. It was so much fun seeing all our friends again except Milly was here usual non-friendly self.

Hey you know how I am around strangers. I did get better after a while.

You gotta do something about that. It embarrasses Mama J everytime you act like that.

I know I know, I will try real had next time.

Oh yes that reminds me. Remember when Mama J took us for a walk to Alexander Clark Park a couple of weeks ago.

Yeessssss

And after our walk she talk us into the dog park and let us have a run around

Yessss

What did you do after you ran yourself stupid and spied that nice cool puddle

Oh Grace you would'nt. Your not going to show them the picture are you

I sure am

Well don't forget to show them the one when YOU joined my hehehehe

Oh alright. Boy Mama J was NOT happy about that and you and I had to go and have a bath. I think she took great delight in doing that because she knows we hate having baths.

Oh well thats the price you pay. But it sure was fun laying in that puddle.

Well that is about all we have to say at the moment. Oh Mama J says we have to send a big woofy hello to Aunty San*whispers- Aunty San told Mama J we had not been on our blog*. HELLO Aunty San HELLO Aunty San. and we are really really sorry we have been so slack.

And we also have to say a BIG hello to Beth from the Radiology Department at PA Hospital. Aunty A says Beth is a big fan of ours and loves to read our blog.

HELLO BETH

Oh Grace don't forget to tell them about our adoption

Milly you can tell them

Oh ok. Well last Friday Grace and I officially became members of the family and I got my new green collar which means that when 1st July comes Grace and I (because we have now been adopted) don't have to wear our muzzles in public. That will be so wonderful. But I will have to work on my dog skills otherwise Mama J says I will still have to wear my muzzle. Well thats all I have to say

Thanks Milly well on behalf of Milly and myself -oh hold on whats that Mama J ok will do - Mama J said she wants us to put up some of our layouts she has done of us .

Well thank you for stopping by and please stop and say hello. We hope you have a Greyt day and remember GREYHOUNDS RULE ALL OTHER DOGS DROOL *BOL BOL BOL BOL* Ahhhh Gracey you crack me up

2008-12-27T04:00:00.003+10:00

Yappy Christmas everyone. On behalf of Milly and myself we would like to wish all our 2 and 4 legged friends a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Milly and I were'nt overly excited with christmas as you can see by the following photos but Mama J spoilt us rotten with lots of new squeaky toys. My favourite is the "Moooooing" cow. I love to carry it through the house and hear it "moooooo" at least Mama J knows where I am BOL BOL.

Greytwalks Christmas breakup walk

2008-12-10T06:48:00.007+10:00

Hello peoples,Grace said I could write this post about our walk on Sunday. well um okay where do I start "Hey Grace what do I say"
"MILLY just tell them what we did - don't forget to tell them about the part where you growled at everyone. BOL BOL"
"Oh Grace thats not fair you know how nervous I get when I meet new dogs. Well I guess Smarty Pants Grace isn't going to help me so I suppose I will just
have to do this by myself. Okay where was I up to. Oh yeah the walk . Mama J was worried about the weather as it looked like it was going to rain but we where lucky it stayed nice for our walk. We all met at 17 Miles Rock water park. there was Murphy, Homer (new dog), Bella, Blaize, Aimee, Jaydee, and two other dogs but I can't remember their names. It was a nice walk by the river. When we got back Blaize and Aimee's mum Margaret cooked us up some yummy sausages. Grace and I had a bit of a yak to the Greys then the security man came and told us it was time to go. So we packed up and came home. The End. oh and here are some photos. I hope all my doggy friends have a barkalicious christmas. Bye for now

GAP Christmas Party

2008-12-09T12:37:00.006+10:00

Well you can tell its christmas time. Mama J is dressing Milly and Me up in tinsel and santa hats. The other week Mama J and Papa E took Mills and me to the GAP christmas party there were lots and lots of Greys Milly even met her mum again. Mama J & Papa E had a good time seeing all the greys and hearing their stories but they were most proud when I came second in the best dressed dog competition. I won a squeaky toy which I play with at home. I got to see my mate Murphy and Jenny I did'nt see Blaize or Amiee. Sal was there with her new family. Here are some photos from the day

Milly and her mum

The Winner is Grace by a nose

Nudgee Beach Walk

2008-11-19T21:54:00.000+10:00

Last Sunday Mama J took me and Milly up to Nudgee beach for a greyhound walk. It was quite a scary afternoon as these big big black yukky clouds were coming in and the wind was blowing you could even say the wind could of "blown the dog off the chain" BOL. We walked out in the water for quite a while not quite sure if I liked that idea but I went anyway. This was Milly's first greyhound walk and she did really well. After we came back in Mama J and the other people sat and had a bit of a chat then we walked back to the car. It was a really scary ride home because the storm hit thank goodness the worst part was not near us the but I could tell Mama J was nervous as she was gripping that steering wheel real hard. Anyway we made it back home safe and sound. Here are some photo's Mama J took. See you next time

Grace & Milly

2008-11-15T10:39:00.002+10:00

hello kind peoples
Milly here. Just thought I would jump on the computer while Mama J was at work and let you all know how I am doing. it was a bit of a rocky start to my coming to live here but with Mama J and Papa E and Big Bro A helping me I have adjusted very well. I now play with all the dogs at the dog park and Mama J thinks that I am getting better with other dogs when I am on the lead. Grace plays with me every now and again but she keeps trying to steal my bed thats ok because I keep trying to steal her food BOL BOL. Mama J says I had stinky breath and she did not like me breathing all over her so they arranged to take me to the Dentist. We got up nice and early and drove over the other side of time and Mama J left me there then came back in the afternoon to pick me up. the whole family was so happy to see me. Mama J says I don't have stinky breath anymore so I am allowed to give her lots of kisses. Papa E told me the other day that he wants to keep me, Mama J says she loves me too but she also loves to foster the greyhounds and she does'nt know if she will be allowed to have 3 greyhounds. Knowing Mama J she will some how make it work. Well nothing much else has been happening just going for walks everyday and playing with my friends at the park. I will ask Mama J to put some photos on when she comes home. "GRACE DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY- NO OK THEN".
"MILLY I am sitting right beside you you don't have to yell at me"
oh sorry grace

Mama J's cranky

2008-10-26T08:38:00.000+10:00

"Hello yeah yeah I know "bad dog" hey I am Mama J's girl what do you expect. Mama J got cranky at me for not keeping my blog up to date so she has sent me to my mat with the computer and told me not to leave till I have finished (ahhhh the pigs ear is calling me but no I must be strong and stay here I have seen want Mama J does to Big Bro A and I DON'T want to be sent to his room owwww NASTY). Ok well I have recovered from my injury and all is well in the health department. We have a new foster dog her name is Milly and I quite like her SHE evens "sits" and shakes paws-goody 2 shoes. "

This is Milly

"We actually get along quite well unfortunately she has a bit of a problem with other dogs. They frighten her alot and Mama J has been protecting her all week and has not let her off the lead (Milly has a bit of a problem with snapping ) but yesterday everything changed. Jarmin my friend the cocker spaniel came to the park and it was just the 3 of us and Mama J let Milly off lead low and behold she started to play with Jarmin they chased each other all over the park and then another dog arrived then another and before 2 long Milly was socialising with all of them mind you Mama J was always beside Milly just incase. Mama J was soooooo proud of her good behaviour she can't wait to show Papa E."

This is a photo of Me, Jarmin and Milly having a rest.

This is Jarmin and Milly together

"Mama J did not read her emails very well and we missed out on going on the greyhound walk. Mama J thought it was today so she had us all packed up in the car ready to go then she decided just to check she knew where we were going. The walk was YESTERDAY morning not Sunday morning. Here are some photos of the last walk we did in early October. This one was at Petrie.

Here Fishy Fishy

Well I had better let Milly come on and say hello."

"MILLY, MILLY come here"

"Yep Grace"

"No no I don't want to shake your silly paw"

"Oh sorry Grace just habit"

"Come and say hello to Mama J's friends"

"Hello nice to meet you my name is Milly thats M I L L Y"

"Don't be daft Milly they know how to spell your name"

"oh right sorry about that just a little nervous meeting new people"

"Calm down Milly and tell them about yourself"

"Right tell them about myself let me see ummmm my name is Milly"

"MILLY"

"Oh right sorry ummmmm I am four and a half years old, ummmm I never got to race and I love everybody. I so desparately want a "forever home" I don't like moving house to house umm thats about all I can tell them Grace can I please go back to my mat I feeling a little nervous there are alot of people out there what if they don't like me"
"Hey they will have to deal with me. Okay go on back to your mat"

(watching Milly go back to her mat)- (in a whisper) "Psssst no wonder Mama J calls her Silly Milly"

"Anyway thats about it for the moment I am going to see if I can sniff out some photos of some of Mama J's work"

"talk to you soon"

WOOF & KISSES

Quick visit

2008-09-26T20:54:00.000+10:00

Hello friends. I've taken Mama J's computer and I am hiding in her wardrobe. I wanted to put up a photo slide of some of mine and Archies photos. Quick gotta go and look all innocent - who me never took it maybe it was Andrew- BOL BOL

OWWWWW I'm Injured

2008-09-25T20:12:00.000+10:00

OWWWWW OWWWWW OWWWWW. It is so not fair. Here I was playing chasy with a black lab and this big poodle and I mean BIG (he was bigger than me) started to chase me and then bit me on my back leg. It hurt sooo much Mama J came frantically rushing over to me and nearly had a heart attack when she saw that I had a skin tear. WOW she knows how to give dirty looks. Mind you the tear was only small but it was right over my muscle. The horrible thing was that I had to walk home. The next day Papa E took me to the vets and they shaved a little bit of my back leg. Yeah great look that one. Mama J has to keep cleaning with salty water and I have to have antibiotics other than that I am going fine. Don't tell this to Archie but I think I miss the dumb mutt. I hope he is having a great time with his new owners. I will leave you with some photos from our last greyhound walk. Till next time

xx

Grace (the injured one)

I have a new home

2008-09-22T17:27:00.000+10:00

Hello friends.
Well this will be my last post. I am now living with my new "forever family". I left Mama J's on Saturday afternoon. I think even Grace was a little bit sad. I know I will miss everyone very much but my new family will give me lots of cuddles (my new mama is a vet so I will get the very best of care). So to all my friends out there good-bye.

Archie

Saying Goodbye to Papa E

On my way to my new home

I am in trouble

2008-09-10T22:03:00.000+10:00

Oh dear Mama J is not real happy with me at the moment. I keep barking and waking her up while she is sleeping during the day. I can't help it I just want to play with her. I know it has been a while since I had a chat but I have been sort of sulking because that stupid dog is still here. He is suuuccch a crawler always hanging around Mama J and wanting pats all the time. Well I graduated from dog school last Monday Mama J and Papa E came to my graduation they were so proud of me even though I don't think I learnt to much. I will leave you with some photos that Mama J took. I don't like to share my toys

I've 0nly been at Mama J's place for 2 weeks and I am leaving already. It seems that they have found me a new "forever home". I have had a great time here. Grace has'nt been too bad to me although is does tend to ignore me alot but hey I don't care she is just a Snob. Watch it buddy I can still make your life miserable before you go. Ahhh come on Grace I was just having fun. Mama J was right you are a Diva. Well some of us have it and some of us ain't and you my friend DON'T have it BOL BOL (bark out loud) well anyway I don't care what you say I have had a great time here. I wanted to put some more photos up but Mama J is at work and she has the photos so I will add some in before I go. Anyway I hope to get back on here before I leave. see ya soon

ARCHIE

Maybe I should introduce Archie. Hi I'm Mama J. I don't know alot about Archie except that he is about 4.5 yrs old as well. At this stage I don't know any of his history but I am trying to find out. I don't think he was a racing dog he does not seem as disciplined as Grace.

Ha Ha

GRACE

sorry

I Swear you two are going to be the death of me. Anyway I am hoping that the 2 of them will be able to share this blog as I don't particulary want to start another one. So seeing that Archie is the new dog in town I will hand over the blog to him so he can tell you how his week has been. See you around

xxMama J

Thanks Mama J.

Well it was very scary arriving at a new house but everyone has been really nice to me. Yes even stupid Grace as been nice Watch it buster that can change REAL easy. Oh come on Grace I know you love me BOL BOL. Anyway Mama J took me and Grace to the park last Saturday and boy was I scared all these strange dogs around Grace seemed to know them all but I was frightened and did not want to play with anyone. I warned them to back off when they came near me and Mama J was'nt to impressed with me growling at them all. Hey I just need some time. Anyway I was much better when we went back the next day I was'nt quite so frightened. I love being at Mama J's place they let me sleep on the couch and I have my own bed. Sometimes Mama J has a nap in the afternoon and she lets me lie beside her and sometimes Grace comes and snuggles too. Big Bro A lets me sleep with him at nights he plays with me all the time.

Hanging out with friends

2008-08-16T19:36:00.000+10:00

Hello friends. I hope everyone is well. I'm pretty good for a young pup. Mama J took me for a walk last Sunday up to Sandgate and we met up with some other Greys. It was sooooo exciting to be able to hang out with other greys. Unfortunately because of the EKKA there were only a couple of other dogs but next Sunday there is another walk so maybe I will get to meet more Greys. My new friends are Aimee, Blaze and Danny. The week was pretty quiet because Mama J was on night duty. I don't think she really appreciated me waking her up early to go to the park but oh well it is about ME ME ME isn't BOL. We went a visited a new dog park on Saturday afternoon it was at Alexander Clark Park. I had a collision with another dog and tore between the webbing on my toes. Mama J is nearly beside herself. She is worried it is going to get infected so she keeps putting some brown stuff on it and keeps wrapping my foot up then laughs at me when I walk funny. well I can't feel the bottom of my paw, Its not funny having to walk like an idiot, so I keep trying to rip it off, Mama J said if I continue to do that she will put a bucket over my head ohhhhhh I don't want that to happen I have seen one of those things on Mia's head down at the park and we all laughed at her, so maybe i should try and be good and leave it alone. Anyway that is all for the moment I will leave you with some photos from my walk last sunday. The brindle dog is Aimee the big white one is Danny and the other pretty lady is Blaze. have a good week

Hellllloooooo out there. It is so good to be able to talk to you again. Mama J took the computer to Sydney as Grand-dad R was in hospital having a big operation. He is doing ok now. I was really miffed that Mama J left me behind so when Papa E went to pick her up at the airport I went with him and I totally ignored her when she got in the car. That will teach her for not taking me with her. I have started to forgive her so when we went to doggie school on monday night I decided to give her a break and behave myself. Although I have no idea why she is taking me there its not like they are going to teach me anything. They can forget about this "SIT" business I am a Greyhound and I DON'T SIT. I will stand, laydown, well ok that is all I do but I absolutely refuse to sit it is just so common and beneath me it just does not look dignified for a pedigree like MOI. Boy the other dogs there were being quite naughty by barking and trying to play in their water bowls. I just could not be bothered with the whole thing and what is it with this clicker thing. They try and get me to do something then when I do it they click this annoying little clicker then they try and shove food in my mouth. Come one peoples I have just eaten remember I have a figure to maintain sheeesh. Mama J has done some pretty pictures that she calls layouts and she said that once she takes a picture of them she will put them on my blog. Anyway that is about it for moment take care and I will chat to you soon

DangNabit. Someone has got to stop Mama J from humiliating me. She tried to use me as a dressmakers dummy yesterday she said she was trying to make me a pair of pajamas. Ha I fixed her little red wagon I refused to co-operate after about the 19th fitting. She gave up in the end then the wretched woman stuck a great whoppy feather hat and a feather boa around my neck this morning oh she thought it was hilarious she has also said something about pink sunglasses. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME.

Hello sorry I have not been around much last week but I am a busy busy dog with places to go and people to see. On Saturday Mama J took me to the beach WOW what an exciting time that was unfortunately she would not let me off my lead which was a bit of a bummer as I so wanted to play with the other dogs. But we did go for a walk along the beach and I even got wet alittle bit it was such a beautiful day I can't wait till we go back again. On the way home Mama J took me for a bath it was nice and warm and after my bath the lady even sprayed some doggy perfume on me hmmmmm Mama J said I smelled so lovely. I think Mama J has a bit of a problem because that is all she does is sniff me she says I smell soooo good and she keeps cuddling me. After we got home I could'nt wait till I could roll in the grass and would'nt you know it Mama J got out the damn camera again she has done nothing except take photos of me alllllll day. I must admit I don't blame her I AM a good looking dog BOL. Mama J has some photos she said I could put on my website so I hope you enjoy them.

week-end roundup

2008-07-15T18:07:00.000+10:00

Hello everyone hope you all had a great weekend. I had the typical lazy weekend, sleeping, sleeping sleeping Mama J took me to the park on Saturday and as we were walking down the path I saw the biggest dog I have ever seen man did I want to play with him but Mama J said no he wasnt a dog he was something called a "horse" what ever they are. I am getting really good at jumping up on the box on command and walking up the ramp I still have a bit of a problem with the jumping fence but I am getting there and Mama J is happy. She said that I am going to doggy obdeience class at the end of July because she is not happy with me ignoring her all the time at the park but hey I am a DOG. I will leave you with some photos taken at the park. Look for the one were I am "sitting" man that is uncomfortable.

See I don't eat little dogs

2008-07-11T21:30:00.001+10:00

As usual Mama J took me to the park and I made a new little friend. His name is Marly and he is a Brussels Griffin. We played really nicely together as long as Marly did not try and run away. The minute he moved I was onto him I even had him pinned under my paw at one stage I was wondering what was wriggling under my paw bol (bark out loud). Mama J has kindly let me put some photos up just so that people see that I really don't eat little dogs besides their bones get stuck in my teeth -bol god I crack me up. Have a good weekend and I will give you an update how the weekend went. bye for now

Great news. Mama J found out yesterday that I am allowed to stay here. So Mama J, Papa E, and Big Bro A are going to be my "forever family" The whole family is soooo excited. Mama J said that because I have a new home I get to have a new name so they are going to call me "Grace" my old name "Rae" is actually in my new name as well how cool is that. Mama J got real excited this afternoon at the dog park. After all my friends had left she decided to try and see if I would do some tricks. I decided to give her a break and actually co-operate. so when she pat the box stand and said "up" I jumped up Mama J nearly fell over. she was patting me and hugging me anyone think I had won a race. Then we went over to the little jump fence and I jumped over Mama J just could'nt believe it. Wait till I show her my next trick. We went over to the ramp and I walked up it then along the top and then down the other side. It was embarrassing all the carry on Mama J did I am so glad none of my friends where then. Mama J said she was going to take the rotten camera next time damn I gotta hide that thing.
Mama J made me a new coat tonight it is maroon and gold she said that I could wear it when Papa E was watching something called foot ball. anyway its time for bed I am just waiting for Mama J to take my blanket out of the clothes dryer. till next time

A better Sunday

2008-07-07T23:47:00.000+10:00

Mama J and Papa E had to go to work again today but at least my pathetic looks of "please don't leave me out in the cold" worked because they put my bed in the garage with my toys and blankets. Another boring day spent by myself hehehehe I dragged Mama J's shoes outside that will teach her. They finally got home and Mama J was so excited it was'nt raining. I was thinking "who really wants to go to the dog park me or her" but hey a walk in the sunshine is a walk in the sunshine. so off we went. Instead of going straight to the dog park we went another way unfortunately it had a hill in. Mama J kept saying as we walked up the hill. "The exercise will do us good" "The exercise will do us good" HELLO if you had not already noticed I don't need the exercise so you can keep that little comment to yourself. I thought Mama J was going to have a heart attack she was puffing so much. I kept praying "please don't fall down" I really did not like the idea of dragging her carcass home and trying to explain to Papa E that it was'nt ME who killed her. We finally made it the Skate park where Big Bro A was jumping his bike. Thank goodness we did'nt stay to long it looked kind of boring. I had better things to do like sniffing bums. Mama J thinks its disgusting but hey each to their own. We got down to the park and Mama J let me of the lead WOOHOO I was into it then I spied the Beagle ooooh I wanna play with him. So I took off with Mama J's voice yelling "slow down" Ha that beagle did'nt see me coming and when he did I think my big lurching body scared the dickens out of him because he started running away then turning around and started snapping and growling at me. Let me tell you he was lucky I had my muzzle on otherwise it would of been "hasta la vista- beagle" I think his human did not appreciate my enthusiasm in wanting to play and she got a bit nasty with him and pushed me away. I saw Mama J's hackles go up I thought she was going to yell at the lady but Mama J controlled herself and led me away - stupid beagle-. I went and played with the doberman he was fast just like me so we decided to have a game of chase. Someone should tell dobermans they need to let someone know that they are going stop suddenly-stupid doberman I had 2 choices jump or collide. I did not like the idea of colliding so I had to jump over him. All the humans were laughing at me - stupid humans. Well that was it I had enough so I took myself off and layed down in the grass. Papa E came down and we stayed a while longer then we walked home. I could'nt wait to get some dinner and put my coat on it sure was getting cold. Anyway I think that is enough for tonight I am getting tired and I have to put this computer away before Mama J sees me on it. Till next time

A Boring Saturday.

2008-07-07T23:39:00.000+10:00

Mama J has gone to bed so I have quietly stolen her computer to give you an update. On Saturday Mama J had to go to work so I was left at home with Big Bro A. We did not do much as it was raining-how rude-When Mama J came home she kept asking me if I wanted to go for a walk. Are you kidding lady have you seen the weather outside ITS WET. Mama J kept saying "I see blue sky" well that was enough for her, at least she had the sense to put on my blue coat and off we went. I took the lead today and I headed straight to the dog park Mama J was real impressed that I knew where to go. Alas my doggy pals were'nt there I bet THEIR humans were smart enough to stay inside. Sometimes I think Mama J is not quite so smart hello its wet, cold what the heck are we doing out here. I guess she sensed my displeasure at being here so we headed home.

2008-07-04T21:35:00.000+10:00

yippee today I got to play with my doggy pals down at the park. Mama J took me off my lead and let me run around. I made sure I was well behaved and I did'nt try and eat anyone. Although there was a little white furry dog that Mama J would'nt let me go near, I only wanted to play besides I was'nt hungry. It was a great afternoon and Mama J was very happy with my behaviour. Anyway I don't have much else to say except that I have settled in quite nicely here even Papa E loves me and wants me to stay. I will leave you some photos that Mama J took while we were down at the park and with Big Bro A

I don't wanna play

2008-07-03T09:08:00.000+10:00

Hi Rae here again with another exciting update on my life as a pet. Mama J took me to the park when she came home from work on Monday afternoon. There was only one other doggy mate there so Mama J said I could have a play with him as long as I was not too rough. It was fun till that annoying little puppy came into the big dog park. I just wanted to play with him but everytime we got into a tussle he would yelp the big wussy dog. Mama J was worried people would think I was hurting the little sooky dog so she took me up the other end of the park away from whingy whiney. But no he would'nt leave me alone. He was calling for me to come and play with him. I really wanted to play so without telling Mama J I took off down the other end of the park. I guess no one told Mama J how fast I actually was well hello I AM a greyhound for petesake anyway. I don't know who got the bigger fright Mama J or the little mutt when I stopped suddenly right in front of him well what did you expect YOU DID call me. Anyway Mama J caught up to me and decided that maybe I was too big to play with stupid mutt so she put me back on the lead and we went and said hello to some other dogs that had arrived. This was more like it bigger dogs that I could tussle with and they would'nt go whinging back to their owners. But I had worried Mama J too much and there where sooo many dogs in the park that she thought it might be better if I stayed on my lead. No fair everyone else could run around but I had to stay beside Mama J looking like the biggest loser with my lead and muzzle on. I just wanted to bury my head in shame thank goodness Mama J said it was time to go home. The next day Mama J and Papa E had the day off. When I woke up the next morning I was a little bit sore and had a bit of a limp. Mama J said that would teach me for taking off so fast. Must remember not to do that in future. Papa E went and got Big Sis FJ and we all went down to the park. I got my own back on Mama J. I thought I would teach her a lesson for not letting me play yesterday. I just sat on the grass and would'nt anything. It was quite funny seeing Mama J running around the park chasing the ball that I absolutely refused to play with. Mind you she was not too happy she kept giving me dirty looks but hey what can I tell you I'm precosious. Anyway it was a lazy day for me. I have to stop typing now my paws are starting to hurt. I think I will go and have another nap and wait for Mama J to get out of bed. See you next time

Gotta make this a quick post. Mama J is in the shower so I have snuck onto her computer. ok where was I oh yeah I am up to Monday. I was having a nice sleep as I do when Mama j came down to the kitchen and made me get up. I just gave her that look that said "you gotta be kidding" anyway she went into the bedroom and got this round thing from under the bed it looked like a futurisic doggy bed (Mama J said it was something called an "exercise trampoline" I hope she does'nt think I am going to be doing any early morning exercises. She then got my big blue blanket and put it in the clothes dryer I don't know why I did'nt wet it or anything. Then Mama J gave me this really sad look and said "sorry girl but I have to go to work" don't be sorry I thought I was real excited because that meant no one to try and make me play I could sleep allllllll day if I wanted to. Then Mama J took me outside but I did'nt need to go to the tiolet yet could'nt I just go back to bed. What she did next I could not believe SHE TOOK MY COAT OFF are you crazy lady its freezing out here. At least I found out why she put my blanket in the clothes dryer. Mama J got me onto the futuristic doggy bed and then put my blue blanket over me it was soooooooooo warm. I forgave Mama J for leaving me out in the cold. Mama J then went back inside and closed the door, I was already asleep by the time she backed the car out of the garage. Papa E came home for lunch I was so excited to smell him I mean see him again. we had lunch outside and I played with my toys for awhile. Papa E went back to work and I went back to bed. Oh gotta go the shower has just turned off gotta put this computer away before she finds out I was on it. I will continue later bye for now

Hello

2008-07-01T21:39:00.000+10:00

Finally Mama J (my foster mum) has set up a website for me. Hi my name is Rae and I am a 4 and a half year old greyhound. I use to be a racing greyhound and after I finished racing my owners put me in the Greyhound Adoption Program (GAP). I am staying with a nice family while waiting for a new home. There are 3 people who live in my human house, Mama J, Papa E and Big Bro A. They are really really nice people and give me lots of cuddles. The most annoying thing they keep doing to me is trying to get me to play and all I want to do is sleep. Mama J keeps running after me with her camera when I get a chance I am going to find that camera and bury it. I arrived here on Friday night and I was really frightened I did not know where I was and who these people were. Mama J had made me a nice big bed and gave me my own blankets and toys. I like Big Bro A (he smells like dirt) and I really like Papa E (when he comes home from work he smells like a big juicy steak yum yum) Mama J made me a new pink coat that I get to wear at night instead of my boring old blue one . On Sunday afternoon weI went for a walk to the park. Mama J was a bit worried as she did not know what I would do when I met other dogs. Me, I was not really worried all I wanted to do was go back to bed. When we walked past the doggy play area some of the dogs started to bark at me I just ignored them. Mama J said they were just jealous because I had a pretty pink coat on. We walked past the duck pond and Papa E started to feed the ducks I was too busy looking around the park that I did not notice the ducks until Papa E got my attention WOW they looked really really nice I reallly wanted to go and play with them but Mama J nearly had a heart attack when I tried to squeeze through the railings she decided it was time for us to move on. On our way back home (finally) we walked past these 2 little annoying yapping dogs that kept barking at me. I'd had enough of being barked at so I told them how rude they where. Mama J nearly had another heart attack as she had not heard me bark yet. I felt really bad for scaring her. At last we got home and I could finally lay down. I had some dinner then curled up on my bed and went to sleep. I would love to continue telling my tales but Mama J is looking at me tapping her foot I think she wants her computer back, besides I think I might go to bed I will catch up with you tomorrow if Mama J lets me use the computer. anyway I will leave you with some photos that Mama J took.
