Greyhounds and Couches




I have read that greyhounds like couches and Alicia Padron even stated that sofas are their favorite spot. Well, just yesterday Georgia discovered her love of couches --- I let her sit there b/c we inherited the couch with the house and b/c she looks so darn cute! I think my blog is officially going to the dogs....

Georgia's first snow




We had quite a bit of snowfall here in New York and as Georgia is a retired racer from Florida she did not know what to make of this crunchy white powder. She hopped, jumped, chattered her teeth and dragged me through the snow with a swiftness only a greyhound can muster. Overall it was a pretty humorous morning, but I could tell she was glad to be back inside....

Illustration friday: Theory




A quick sketch, but I've always had this theory that humans would look much better if their skin was covered in fur like an animals....

Georgia




Today we greeted the latest member of our family: our newly adopted greyhound, Georgia. In her previous life as a racer in Florida she was known as Rapid Roah, but we thought it fitting to christen her with a new name so she can begin her new life as a pampered and beloved dog. None of this would have been possible without the help of Grateful Greyhounds who rescue and place greyhounds in their "forever homes."
