Mama Made Us Collars

Mama is learning to make collars for us. Scout and I had our doubts when she told us she was going to try and make us one. You should have seen the first two. Yikes!

She made one for Scout last week and it turned out nice.



Last night, she surprised me with my very own Rams' collar. I was so excited. I danced all over the house which made it hard for her to get my photo.



Mama said she will head to the city later this week and see what other fun fabric she can find for us. She wants to find something really special for camping.

Home from Camping!

Sorry that I haven't updated my blog. I've been camping with my family. Mama could only get online while we were driving around and she said it was hard to do anything because the Jeep was bouncing around on the back roads.

Scout and I had a great time. We got wet in the river even though Mama said we shouldn't. We walked on trails. We met lots of nice people. We met a Great Dane. He was huge. He scared us because he was so big. We ate people food. Yummy! We had Frosty Paws at night. What more could a dog ask for?

Here we are eating Frosty Paws.


This is Scout roaching on our bed.


Here I am on the couch.


Mama says we are headed out for a four day trip not this weekend, but next. It's camping season!

The New Collar Is Here!

Remember when we won a new collar courtesy of Life With Dogs? It arrived today. It is beautiful! Pictures do not do it justice.

I tried to take several photos of Scout, but she was not happy being a model for me today.





Jack seems a little jealous, so I put the collar on him and he did a great job modeling for me. Jack likes to dress up. He should have been a girl and Scout should have been a boy. :::sigh:::

I have an "Exam" coming up

I have been quite worried. I received a postcard in the mail this week. It was addressed to me... Jack of Two Greyhound Town. It was from the vet's office and said it was time for my exam.


I showed it to Scout and now she is worried.



I decided I better put on my glasses because they make me look smart. I need to look smart for my exam.



Mama asked me why I was wearing my glasses and I told her it was because of my exam. I told her I needed to study, but didn't know what. She told me that it wasn't that kind of exam. She said the doctor would examine me.


That even sounds scarier. I have been keeping myself in great shape though. You just never know when the track will call and want me to come back and race. Scout says I'm too old, but you never know. I'm not letting myself go like she is.

Mama told me to just relax and that the exam will be fine. So, I decided it doesn't help to worry. I'm chilling now. LOL

Happy St. Pat's Day

Okay, it's really St. Patrick's Day now. Last week, we played a "little" trick on all of you. LOL

Miss Roomba has a new battery, so she is busy cleaning our house. Mama is happy about that. She hates getting out the real vacuum. Scoutie and I don't care much for Roomba. She doesn't respect our space. She will run right into you if you are not careful.

We are still getting ready for camping. We leave Friday a.m. Mama is taking the laptop, so we can update you on our adventures.

Sunday

Today is an exciting day at our house. Daddy is getting the motor home ready. We are going camping this Friday, unless the weather turns bad. He is flushing out the water because it has to be winterized here in the Midwest over the cold months. He is then going to vacuum it out. Roomba has been under the weather, so he's going to use the real vacuum. Mama is washing all the blankets and towels. Scout and I have like five blankets of our own. Mama said it will probably take her most of the day to just do laundry because she has to do all of Daddy's laundry from his trip. She doesn't really mind laundry though.

Mama used the Dremel on our nails this morning, so we are feeling nice. We don't mind the Dremel. Mama gets it out and we both hop in our beds and wait for our turn. She gives us liverwurst when we are done, so it's worth having it done.

Even though Mama and Daddy are busy today, they are both home with us and that's a good thing.

Your friend,
Greyhound Jack

Happy Day!

You know how people sit on their edge of their seats? Well...I'm on the edge of the bed.

Why?


Because I'm so happy that my Daddy is coming home tonight! He's been away on business this week. Mama says that they are both taking off work tomorrow and spending the day with us!!!

Jack,
The Happy Hound!
