Small small world. :)

Congrats on your new addition, she's cute! What's her pedigree?

Thankfully there's nothing to do but wait in this case. Sustaining a worse break might have resulted in the the need for surgery, but the vet is sure this will heal on it's own. She's acting like nothing is wrong for the most part! Though I think she broke her sinus because air is seeping...

Unfortunately didn't see exactly what happened. She jumped off the deck (per usual) and the squirrel must have been in the flower bed. She pulled a 180 to come back towards the deck after it, busted through the plastic fencing I'd stapled up to keep the dogs out from under the deck, and...

So, Mimi broke her skull Wednesday. Because of course that happens. That's a normal thing. She'll be fine and doesn't seem to notice anything is wrong. She's giving me grey hair. Effing squirrel.

I LOVE my Fit. I've had a couple different crate configurations. With the seats down, two 19" wide (21" tall) crates fit side by side in the back with hatch access. There's room in between the backs of the crates and the front seats for storage. I did rig up a little wood platform to...

So your dogs are all stunning, but I'm absolutely loving this shot. LOVE her expression!

Lotus Ball? http://www.cleanrun.com/index.cfm/product/3098/lotus-balls-treat-dispsensing-pull-apart-toys.htm Might not be exactly what you're looking for, but it's the only toy I've found my food-motivated Whippet will interact with when training.

I didn't technically turn in an application, just went through the preliminary discussions, but two different Greyhound rescue groups wouldn't consider my situation as I rent and don't have a yard. The third wouldn't adopt females to first time adopters and tried pushing two males as opposed to...

Love this!

+1 You can ask four different people what they see in regards to rescues and breeders. One may say they see breeders bashing rescues, the second could say they see rescues bashing breeders, the third sees both, the fourth doesn't see any bashing. Doesn't mean any of them are incorrect...

Or what you assumed I meant. My point in that particular post, aside from adoption and a rescue not necessarily being the same in my view of the definitions, is that unfortunately there ARE people who use the label to try to condemn anyone who does anything other than go to a shelter. I'm not...

If you're aiming this at what I said early on, you've greatly misunderstood me.

Who said it's only for bleeding hearts? I must have missed where breeders want people to turn away from shelters? I guess most breeders I know well breed for themselves, not the general public. Most are also involved in rescue, too.

I ran in to one woman on the street who wanted to meet the dogs. We talked for a minute and she was fawning all over them, assuming they were Greyhounds and commending me for what a great thing I did by rescuing them off the track. I politely mentioned they were Whippets (common mistake) and...
