Wildlife

It's important for my people to take me out for lots of walks as we never know what we'll see. This baby hedgehog was in our garden last week and tonight we saw a fox!

Take your Dog to Work Day

Today is Take your Dog to Work Day but my people were both travelling so unfortunately couldn't take me with them. But you can listen to the petcast for 2008 and read up on The Blue Cross petiquette – simple steps to ensure good behaviour from your dog.

Ferretbook

Paul is disgusted to discover that Facebook now offers Ferretbook! He suggests that you visit Dogbook instead.

My cousin Millie

This is my cousin Millie; we met up for a walk today

Photos and videos

I am told that some people check my blog because they like to look at pictures or videos of me. I have added new links on the right hand side of the blog - if you click on these links they will take you to blog entries that only contain these.

Greyhound blogs

I have discovered some other greyhound blogs:

• The Beastly Beasts: seven rescue sighthounds with an extensive website and a newsletter
• Hound Life: the chronicles of Harvey & Jackson... a couple of retired racing greyhounds in the US

Rain, rain, go away

I like sunny days in my back garden when I can sunbathe or run about. I really don't like getting wet - either in the bath or on a walk with my people.

New bowl

Thank you, Jacky, for my new bowl. Water tastes much better outside!

RGT on YouTube

My friend John, from the Midlands RGT, has made a YouTube video encouraging people to consider adopting a retired greyhound.

Overheard in Tesco...

P: We need to buy more Bisto for Blondie - she thinks it makes her boring dog food more interesting
A: We've got Bisto Best Onion Gravy at home
P: But she likes the chicken flavour - and I read somewhere that onions aren't good for greyhounds
A: And you think the additives in Chicken Bisto are..?
