Day trip to Bribie Island

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

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

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

Its Spring time

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

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

Me and My main man Murph

Standing around waiting for the adoration to begin

I've been everywhere Man

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

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

<

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

Grace & Milly

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

OOOOWWWWWW

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

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

*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.
