I think Mama is trying to kill us!

Yesterday, Mama took Jack and I for a very long walk. She took us all the way to the other road. That's a long way! The worst part is coming back up the hill. Our mail lady says we live on a mountain if that gives you a better picture of what I am talking about. I didn't think I would make it, but Mama said I didn't have a choice. I'm sure we looked funny walking because it looked like Jack was pulling Mama who was pulling me. It was like we were lined in a row. LOL Here I am after the walk.





Mama says I look a little ticked off. I was exhausted.

This morning, she took us out again for another long walk. Do you believe it? She says we have to get in shape. We are going to participate in a fun run when we go to the greyhound event in June. She had to fill out the form yesterday and it asked our activity level. The choices were: low, moderate or active. She couldn't decide between low or moderate, but decided that we were moderate and if not, she will make us that way by June. Yikes!

Your very tired and out of racing condition friend,
Scout

Little Things

Today was our greyhound reunion. My pups knew something was up. This morning, they had their nails done, teeth brushed and bath wipes were used to make them smell nice. If I would have just done one thing then they would not have been suspicious, but when you do all three...it means "WE ARE GOING SOMEWHERE!" My pups get very excited when they get to leave their rural home. Jack gets almost out of control. He is bouncing around on 2 legs. He is constantly told "four on the floor, Jack". Scout gets excited, too, but she remains very calm. Her teeth chatter to show her excitement.

The pups enjoyed the reunion. Jack saw his foster mom. He lived with her for about three months before we adopted her. The lady who rescued Scout was even there. She is from Oklahoma. They had a lot of fun greeting other pups and getting love from other attendees.

I purchased a sweatshirt, magnet, Celebrating Greyhounds wall calendar and desk calendar. (My Scout is in the desk calendar this year.) The purchase that got me the most excited probably wouldn't matter to most people, but it made my day. It's a clasp that you place the dog's tags on and it can easily be moved from collar to collar. I don't know the official name for it. I have looked all over for one of these. My pups have several collars and moving their tags has always been a problem for me. The problem is now solved. It's a little thing, but it is so exciting to me.
