Maddy's New Shirt

Hi, It's Veil again today!  Mama went to the pet store on Friday and came home with a new shirt for Maddy.  There was nothing for me in the bag. I check twice just to make sure.  Mama said it for Maddy's anxiety.  I was not impressed, I like new clothes too.

 Especially when she stood around showing it off.

Me: Come on Veil, you know Maddy gets upset sometimes and it's no fun for her...

Veil: You're not going get a smile out of me today, unless we take a drive to the pet boutique.

Treat Time Again

Hi, Veil here at the command, just the way I like it!  We were all out of the peanut butter pumpkin treats Mom made last time so it was imperative that she get something going in the oven this early this morning, at least to us three anyway.  I don't know about you but I don't like to see the bottom of the treat container. Today she said she was going to make up something new for us to try, I was kinda worried because treats are important you know. But I will say I like the new recipe, Banana Blueberry Oatmeal.

While they were in the oven, we got brushed outside.  This hot weather is making us shed more than a greyhound normally would, so better to take it off outside than on the just de-haired couch.  It going to be a hot day today so we are relaxing inside.

You can see my indent in the dog bed, but I'm not there...

I say if your gonna have a lazy day, might as well do it on the real bed.

A Much Better day!

We just got back from an hour long hike through the new subdivision off of our road.  It's a great place to walk; no traffic and the odd bunny or squirrel to see.

Maddy was feeling back to her normal, happy self today.

Beckett and Veil check out some construction workers...


Maddy was still ready to play when we got home but Veil said she needed to take a break...


and Beckett practiced some downward doga with his favorite red ball.

A Ghost of a Greyhound

I obviously had some setting wrong on my camera when I took this picture of Maddy, but after looking at it, I thought this picture really portrayed what it felt like with her this week...like living with a ghost.  She was there, but not completely.

Oh What A Night!

Well, we had our first really bad thunder and lightning storm of the year last night.  We woke up around 2:30 to no power and Beckett doing the hallway walk, up and down, up and down.  If I had placed a bet on which of our greyhounds would be the one scared during a storm, I would have lost because he was the last one I would have guessed.  He finally settled down once the worst of it had passed and Maddy and Veil never moved at all during the storm.  Fast forward a couple hours, all was well at breakfast time and we went back to bed to wait for the power to come on and then Maddy had an anxiety attack and she hasn't come out of it yet. This time she wants OUT of the house and doesn't want to come back in.  It was quite hot in here, I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not but we went out and bought two portable air conditioners today.  Another thunder storm this evening too but at least it should be over before midnight. Veil really amazed me with how well she deals with everything, I don't think I give her enough credit.
