Mama J's cranky

"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"

OWWWWW I'm Injured

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

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.

I am in trouble

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

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. Mama J said it is his birthday today and we have some presents to give him I hope he likes them. Anyway not much else to say except hello and I hope that Grace will let me use the computer some times. I will leave you with some photos that Mama J took . Grace is there anything you want to say before we go. No thanks Archie I will chat later I am going to have a nap now. seeyas.seeyas

Hanging out with friends

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

I'm back online

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

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.
