Beckett the bread-winner!

 Beckett here again.




During the summer, I entered a photo contest on FaceBook from Global Pet Food Store for a chance to win a year's supply, up to $1,000.00 of Acana / Orijen pet food (which is the brand we eat).  It was a Canada Day picture.



This week the UPS man dropped of an envelope containing vouchers for 8 free - 13.1 kg bags of Acana.

Mum says I have to share it with Veil and Maddy.  I said OK just as long as they know I am the bread-winner of the family for a few months.


I have also decided to pay it forward.  Since we were so lucky; I have been watching for good causes to donate some green papers to.

Gotcha Girls!

Beckett here today to talk a little bit about my two sisters, Veil and Maddy.  Today is their "Gotcha Day"!

Now, I will start with Miss Veil...she was here first, even before me. Actually, as she tells it, the reason I am here is because she asked for a sibling.



So then I came into the picture.
If she was so lonely, why is she wearing a muzzle at our first meeting?

We went for walks together and got to know each other.


Veil discovered the art of looking sweet (notice I say "looking"). She can pretend, but I know different.


Then one day, after a couple years of enduring enjoying Veil's undivided attention, Mum told us we were going to have a foster sister for a little while til she found a forever home.  In my head, I said "sure, Mum...whatever you say..."  I knew I was in for double tag-team sisters.

Then there was three....

Three from behind.

Maddy likes to use me as a head rest.

More walks.

Backyard time (Muzzles required, as we get a little competitive.)

Looks angelic, right?

A bit of a show-off, with all her obedience training and stuff.

I guess I like having my sisters  but the only thing that would make it better is if they would let me join in some of their made-up games, like spin on the bed.  Mum says its cause I'm too big and a bit of a bull in a china shop.  Anyway,  happy Gotcha Day, Veil and Maddy!

Love your big brother, Beckett!

Fall Colours


We have been a little slack with our blog lately, but the Veil, Beckett and Maddy said it was time to show off their new "Hope for Hounds" collars.

Veil's Trip to Nanny's

Miss Veil went with me to her "Nanny" and "Grampy"'s house on Sunday.  She says the couch passed the inspection and received the greyhound seal of approval.


She is a little embarrassed for me to tell you that she had to be carried up the steps to get in the house.  Apparently none of the three entrances were acceptable for the princess to attempt to walk up herself.  After the backwards tumble she took down our steps last week, I am surprised she is willing to go up and down them at home.

Mum, I though I asked you NOT to tell that!



Beckett and Maddy seem to be putting their heads together on how to get Veil back for going without them. I've never seen them lay on a bed together before. Better sleep with both eyes open, Miss Veil.
