Brave dog park run today

We rushed to the dog park right before it got dark hoping no one else would be there... Everyone else had the same idea!

We almost went into the empty small dog park but decided to see how they would be with the current dogs in the large area. *Our* dogs were the best behaved of course. They pretty much stuck to themselves chasing balls/Frisbees. No other dog was interested in running with them. Our only two incidents were when Rainy started bullying Sunshine and a shepard husky mix decided to join in and gang up on the shy one.  At one point I was straddling Sunshine and shoving the other dog away since he wouldn't leave her alone! Kept coming in to bite at her! After 4-5 verbal and physical corrections from he his owner got a clue. Stupid dog park people... Then a black lab came in and I told Chris "watch that dog! He's going to be an issue. I think he's going to mount the other dogs and it probably won't be Rainy since she will kick his ass"  20 minutes later the dog tried to mount Sunshine who let out the GSOD.

Other than that we had a pretty successful trip to the dog park. We left asap when we saw a dog totally out of control walking up form the parking lot. The owner tried to do a Caesar Milan touch move with his leg and the dog totally ignored him LOL Yup time to leave...

Both girls are exhausted!

Sunshine couldn't even make it all the way into the crate.

Hope Sunshine doesn't feel gassy...


Tonight for the supper the pups had
Rainy: 1lb of tripe, 3/4 lb ground chicken necks
Sunshine: 1/2 lb tripe, 1/2lb whole chicken necks

Nothing much to report

Life has been pretty normal here lately. We got our Xmas tree and both pups were bored with it after inhaling a few needles.

Here are a few pics of their new recent love of the couch

Hope this works... Here is a video of How to Dremel a dogs nail


I've had some interest about the raw feeding lately so I'm going to try and post what the pups eat each day


Last night Rainy had; Some liver, ground chicken necks, tripe, left over spaghetti and meatballs plus a left over burger (it was clean the fridge out day) Sunshine had the same only whole chicken necks since she will happily chomp on them. :)

A Greyhound's Christmas Wish



Dear Santa to you I make my wish,
This could be my very last Christmas list.
No time to be frivolous, I must hurry you see,
I'm no longer the best, they no longer want me.

I've heard of places where there are soft beds,
Sofas and pillows to lay your head,
Plenty of food and toys for play,
People who hug you night and day.

I've heard of the warmth the hugs can bring,
And car rides to get you wonderful things,
Large spaces to roam when you feel the need,
A place they will love me for being just me.

My wish, Dear Santa, I clearly state,
My hope as I sit closed tight in this crate,
To ask for myself I know is not right,
But please bring a family to love me tonight.
