Hound in the City

Hi Everyone!  Veil here to tell you about my trip to City Hall today. 

After I "christened" the lawn in front of City Hall, I met this guy hanging out by the fountain.  First I thought they had a greyhound sculpture but upon further inspection, the tail just doesn't seem right.

Not sure why they put him so far away from the water in the fountain, but I guess I shouldn't be an art critic.

There wasn't much going on around there today. 

Mama and I walked down Main Street and I even stopped traffic!  Well, Mama says the stop lights did that; but whatever.

Time to go home, it's past my nap time.

All work and no play...

All work and no play has made this blog a pretty boring place lately.  Something exciting had better happen this weekend or I think I might have an uprising of the hounds on my hands.

I did manage to find time to get dog food this week, and when I was there I got these name tags made.  They put my cell number on the back for me. 

  Beckett  and Maddy are not sure they like the new arrangement of keeping the food in the bag and then putting the bag in the bin... they says it makes it harder to steal a mouthful or two.

Beckett:  OK, I've hardly seen you all week... now close the lid on that thing and let's go do something fun!

I guess I've gotten my orders, I hope everyone has a great weekend planned.

No words required, with that look, anyone would know what Beckett wants!

The perfect colour Grey

Miss Veil here today...

So I heard Mama and Dad talking about maybe painting the house (well, more Mama talking and Dad pretending to be listening).  She asked what colour he thought he would prefer this time, since he has not been a fan of the mustard colour since the day it went on.  He said "grey"... now Mama should have just stopped there.  Instead, she said "well, what colour grey? Blue-grey? Green-Grey? Brownish-grey?" I could almost see his eyes glaze over and he looked back to the playoffs he was watching.

I thought, I'm a "grey"hound, so I said to Mama, you put down the paint chips, and I will pick the perfect colour grey.

So, after some quiet deliberation (also known as a nap), I picked one from these samples. 



Can you guess which one I picked?  It must be perfect, after all, it's named after me!

Long Weekend!

This weekend starts off the summer around here (although not officially); it is the first long weekend of the season. 

The weather was exceptional beautiful; if anything a little too hot for the hounds, but thinking back to some of those winter days, I'm not going to complain about the temperature. It also seems to have been the kick-off of the bug season; junebugs, blackflies and mosquitoes are out in full force.  Oh and Miss Veil's nemesis - the dreaded bees.  While we were out for our walk this morning, she heard that familiar buzzing and immediately turned and pulled hard for home and the safety of the house. 




So, welcome back Summer!  We hope you stick around longer than a few weeks this year!!

Check-ups

All three hounds went for their annual check-ups this week.    



Veil:  Is it my turn yet? And do I really have to get weighed right out here in the public?



Beckett:  I'll take a bag of those treats to go!

Maddy:  Another cat!  This has been a great week...I love cats.  Let's go this way.  He's waiting for me...

We are happy to report that everyone passed with flying colours.

Maddy's Day

Where are we going Mom?

Maddy here to tell you about my exciting day... Momma and I snuck out of left the house early this morning to take a drive to my Nanny's house for Mother's Day.  I was happy to go because I'd never been to Nanny and Grampy's house before. 

 I was even more pleased to see they had a welcome present for me on the back lawn when I got there, but then Momma said the cat was not for me.  It belonged to the neighbour...

There is so much action out the front window. My eyes were going every which way.  It was exhausting work trying to take it all in. 

This is me in front of the little house and kennel that had belonged to my Nanny's dog, Daisy,
that passed away recently. 

Momma said she was very proud of me because I was such a good girl and I was only scared of the Grampy man for a couple seconds.  Then he gave me some treats and I decided he wasn't scary afterall. 

Visiting is fun but exhausting.
