Canine Campus podcasts

Someone asked if I listen to Podcasts on my DogPod. I usually listen to ClassicFM but I could ask my people to download podcasts from the Canine Campus or the WagPodcast.

Winter housecoat

When we went to the Great Greyhound Gathering my people ordered me a housecoat.They thought the red colour would suit me best and you can see me modelling it in various poses. It is nice and soft and I like to use it as a pillow when I'm not wearing it. It came from Forest Fleece, which is run by a very nice lady who loves greyhounds and lurchers and she donates 10% of all sales to Southern Lurcher Rescue. If you haven't chosen a Christmas present for your dog yet, maybe you should contact her.

My DogPod

When my people leave me on my own they switch on my DogPod - this is a digital radio that also plays from an iPod. There used to be a crackly radio in my bedroom but Paul said I needed a better one, so he bought me the DogPod. I usually listen to ClassicFM - there is research to prove that dogs prefer classical music.

Being abandoned and meeting Bando

My people abandoned me for the weekend to go to a wedding. But at least they abandoned me with the kind people at Crossing Cottage Greyhound Sanctuary.

I shared a kennel with Bando, who is going to live with his new family soon. His future owner kindly took me for a walk and then set off to London to attend the same wedding as my people. Isn't that amazing? It meant that they were able to talk about greyhounds all day!
