Greyt Massage Sessions

Hi everybody, GAP was lucky enough to be asked to provide some greyhounds for the students of Dr Elaine Cebuliak to practice their remedial massage therapy on (that's another thing Greyhounds are really good at, laying around and being pampered).

Being used to the good life I immediately volunteered Homer and I for both sessions. There were lots of other Greys in attendance including Ruby, Jaydee, Buttons, Jack, Charlie, Lacey, Millie, Gracie & Curly. I hope you like the following pictures.

Maxine realizes how tightly wound Homer is and calls in reinforcements.

Homer finally goes all Zen on us.

You didn't really think I'd forget a picture of myself did you? Team Murphy works on the main attraction of the day.

Bye for now Readers. I'm off for a stress relieving body wrap and warm stone treatment. A celebrity has to look his best at all times you know!

Magical Murphy's Levitation Illusion

Here is a little magical illusion that I used at Brookfield to amaze my fans. All you need is one blanket and an audience. Keep all four paws on the ground and hey presto, instant magic. How do I do it? A good magician never tells!

ABC's GAP story

Hi everybody, here is a link to the Greyt GAP story that the ABC produced on adopting greyhounds. I hope you like it. Bye for now - Murphy

Cute, aren't I?

Introducing Ruby Shirley

With all that's been happening around here lately, I have neglected to introduce our new foster. Meet Ruby Shirley who is the latest foster at the House of Hound. She is four years old and a very sweet girl.

Although her full name is Ruby Shirley (somehow related to Ellie May from the Clampett clan?) we know her as Ruby, Rubes or Rubylicious. She will make a great addition to her forever family (As long as they don't own chickens or piglets!) Bye for now - Murphy.

Ruby charms the crowds at Brookfield.

Thank you

Hi everybody - Mum, Dad and everybody here at the house of hound would like to say thank you for all your kind words since last Wednesday. They were all very much appreciated. Bye for now - Murphy.

Homer gets his forever home!

Homer has been adopted and is now with his forever home. It just so happens that his forever home is here at the house of hound. Mum & Dad said he is almost as lovely as I am and that they couldn't think of parting with him.

Homer was so happy to hear this that he went on a bender when he got the news. He really should know better than to pass out when I am around as photos of indiscretions have a way of finding a way into the public domain. He really should be more careful as "somebody" may accidental shave off one of his eyebrows.

I have to go wash the shaving cream off my paws so I'll see you later readers.

A hungover Homer!


Those could be anybody's paws!

A quick video of the area.



Hi everybody, there was more rain overnight but some of the flood waters have started to drain away. This video shows views across our back paddock and over to the riding for the disabled horse paddocks. The forecast is for another 200 mm today so we are all hoping that the forecast is wrong!

As you can see, it isn't much of a paddock but more of a lake. Three of the horses are still missing and are presumed to have been swept away, with several of the recovered horses suffering from fractures, lacerations and shock. The tack and feed rooms were underwater so there will be a big day of cleaning up for the RDA volunteers.

I have been helping by giving cuddles to the team to keep their spirits up. Bye for now - Murphy.
