That’s My World Tuesday - Road Trip!

DSC05104

Camping near the Minnesota boarder sometimes takes us out of Minnesota and then back in!

We leave our camper behind and the boys have a ride in the back of the our HHR that we tow with us.

When in outstate Minnesota you see a lot of small towns and farming communities.

If you look closely at the man in the cab, he is driving that monster machine and talking on his cell (mobile) phone at the same time.

On this particular trip we were also at the Continental Divide.

This beautiful sunset marked the end to the day’s road trip and we went back to our campsite to enjoy the campfire.

The Fourth of The Fourth

The challenge put before me from Jay of ‘The Depp Effect’ was to find the fourth photo in your fourth picture folder and explain it. Ohhhhh Kaaayyy….

DSC00167

SURPRISE!

It a group photo of our Greyhounds doing the Polka out in the walkway from the house to the garage door where they go outside.

If you look hard enough you can see the door to the house open that is going to let them back in…or out, it was so long ago I just really can’t remember. :)

Upon being let out to go to the garage door that led to the turnout yard there was often a bit of decision making going on between them…

“I don’t have to go that bad, you be first… no you go because I went first last time….well the snow is deep so let’s get Roni to go first she’ll make a path, she will do anything.” Something else that sometimes messed them up further is that the hound in the middle is Geterbug. Geterbug was in charge…blind, but in charge!

Eventually everyone would just get to the door and get outside.

Not a good photo, but the fourth photo.

SO….I need to keep this meme going and who will be my victims?

How’s about ‘I’d Rather Be Blogging’ (can’t wait to see yours Maureen!). Lucy’s Cat Lounge (Lucy girl, show us what you’ve got!), Something Sighted (James has some of the best photos!) and Violet Sky (I need to try the Chat-en-Oeuf!)

If you want to keep it going then please:

1. Open the fourth file where you store your photos.

2. Pick the 4th photo.

3 . Explain the photo.

4. Pass challenge onto 4 other bloggers.

Best of luck….who knows where it might lead.

ABC Wednesday - ‘G’

This week ABC Wednesday is looking at ‘G

So I thought I would put up some of the 'Group Greyhound photos attempts we have tried to get at Christmas time all three of these are from different years. Different dogs in some of them of course because we have had 19 hounds. The first, second and third Greyhound we had are not in these photos but will follow the Group Greyhound photos.

No one was cooperating in this last one! Yep – Greyhound chaos.

blaze

This is my Blaze Girl. She started it all and Got us involved in organizing a Greyhound rescue Group, Greyhound Pets of America - Minnesota.

This is Tex, our second Greyhound. Both he and Blaze were older when we Got them. Been in a few neglectful homes and I have loved all my Greyhounds, but none more than these two. Tex was a huge clown…about 8 years old in this photo. They truly broke the mold when they made him. What a character.

Image15

This is our third Greyhound, Sister. Everyone thought she was just the most beautiful Girl. She was very popular at meets and Greets. She was very smart and even learned how to unzip school backpacks to dig out treats for my Girls. So we had to keep a sharp eye on this one!

Nope Renner and Scooter aren’t in any of those past photos and we don’t want to have to deal with jealousy issues so

….here they are sticking their noses in!

Another Captain Jack Sighting!

Poodle groomed as Jack Sparrow - Burbank California, February 2008, owner Missy Gullett.

I have seen photos from Creative Styling shows before, but don’t recall seeing this specific styling until now. There are a lot of fantastic creations so click the link above and have a look.



Poodles have the coat that lends itself to such creative styling, where as for Greyhounds owners have to result to other resources. For example below we see the ‘Energizer Bunny’ Styling.

You can just ‘feel’ the need for speed by just looking at the head!

Plus the greyhounds all look just as happy as any of those decked-out Poodles!
