More costumes: a headless horseman, a banana split and a bumblebee!

Lady GaGa, shark and devil dog!

Some beautiful greys waiting to be adopted...

and my two greys, Bea and Georgia taking a nap on the cool cement. And lastly, getting in the truck for the ride back home!

Grateful Greyhound Fall Ball Festival

Last weekend we took the dogs to the annual greyhound ball at the Belmont State Park. I got to see the couples that fostered both Beatrix and Georgia and witness a hilarious costume contest. And the ladies got some fancy new collars.

Here is Bea in the back seat on the way to the ball.

We arrive...

just in time to see the parade of available greyhounds up for adoption (having just arrived from a closed track in Florida!) My brindle, Georgia, is 'greeting' the black greyhound adoptee while he is 'greeting' Beatrix, my fawn grey (u can just see her behind)!

And so begins the costume parade! Georgia is giving "Lady Gaga" a sniff and a hello.

*More photos will follow tomorrow!

Illustration Friday: Dessert

Dessert is much better when shared with a friend.

Okra, hot chips and a lazy grey

A great recipe (scoll down a bit) I found that made good use of the tomatoes and okra I grew in my garden. Also, some extremely hot chips (burn your mouth hot! my brother would love these) and Beatrix making do with the love seat to take her daily nap.
