happy hound


this is the face of a hound who has just spent 4.5 days w/half a dozen of his greytest friends, while I was off traipsing through the frigid midwest winter to keep him in the lifestyle that he has become accustomed to. he collapsed from exhaustion as soon as he got home & is still sleeping off his bender.

the Jesse Mind Trick






















this is not the hound you seek.
this is not the hound I seek
you will take me for walkies...
I will take you for walkies.
& then give me yogurt & scritches behind the ear.

the race is heating up




seems there are more folks out there making the case on behalf of retired racing Greyhounds as the perfect 1st Dog. Kira Craft put forth a very convincing argument over at the Huffington Post the other day. I couldn't agree w/her more, but then again...I may be a little biased.
