Springing Forward

Why do humans have this thing called "spring forward" and "fall back"? It really messes with our sleep. Jack and I are trying to get that hour we lost back.

Your tired friend,
Scout

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

Oh My Goodness!

We received some wonderful news yesterday! Are you ready for it?

Our name was drawn in a random drawing by Life With Dogs. Do you know what we won? We won a collar of our choice from 2 Hounds Design. Mama and I have drooled over her collars for as long as I can remember. Mama always said someday she would buy me one. Thanks to the generosity of Life With Dogs, I'm getting my beautiful collar. Yesterday afternoon and evening, Mama and I looked and looked at the website and we finally chose the one we want. I am going to look beautiful! This collar is very special and is not for playing in the mud. No, sir! It's a going to town collar. I will wear it to meet and greets and other special events. I bet I will get to take it on vacation to the greyhound event in Kansas.

You have to wait and see which one we chose. Yep, we are teasing you. LOL

Your friend,
Scout

Almost Camping Season

Mama and Daddy said we are going camping sometime this month! It will probably be closer to the end of the month. We will not need reservations because it's not the true camping season. We can basically just pack up and go when we get a nice weekend.

Scout and I are dreaming of the day that we are on the open road again.


We love checking out the campground and making new friends. It's been a long winter here at Two Greyhound Town.

Here's a photo of us with Daddy when we were camping last year. We can't wait to go again!

Scout Defends Herself

(Scout in her modeling pose)

I know my brother says I'm silly, but at least I'm not wreck-less like he is. He runs through the house like a crazy hound. He gets so excited when Daddy comes home from work that he can't stand still to be petted like I can. He runs through the house and grabs toys and throws them up in the air. He then runs through the house until Mama yells at him to stop. Mama said that he crashed through the wall once. Yep, it's true. He broke the dry wall. He's lucky he didn't break a leg.

It's true that I get scared when my tummy makes those strange noises. I've learned though that if I get freaked out, Mama will give me something really good to eat. So, whose the dummy?
