11th Annual Greyhound Fundraiser




Yesterday, I went with my greyhound, Georgia, in tow to the annual fall ball fundraiser in Bellmont Lake State Park here in Long Island and hosted by Grateful Greyhounds. It's a great chance to hang out with fellow greyhound lovers, see and perhaps adopt some 'fresh off the tracks' greyhounds, and to help support a worthy cause. Georgia had a great time greeting all the greyhounds and she'll go just about anywhere if it means a ride in the car! These are just a couple of the many pic's I took. The one at top is of Georgia sitting quite nicely; not a favorite position for greyhounds to be in. Greyhounds have this funny way of 'hugging' both greyhound & humans alike by wrapping their heads around one another (Georgia is at the bottom in the 2nd pic) or by wrapping their head around your legs!

Animal Shelter Dog Days: The Sweetie Dog


This is one of my favorite dogs at the shelter...She must be a pitbull or a mix...she is a very sweet, very young little girl and, unfortunately, has already been bred.
Go here to learn more about pitbull myths and facts.

Shelter Cats: Mookie


This is Mookie, resident fattie weighing in at a hefty 22 lbs....He's not only a sweetie, but loves to hide in tunnels and obviously loves a good meal.

Illustration Friday: Infinite


I've noticed the infinite amount of shelter animals makes me sad.
