It's My Birthday!

Hi Readers, I turned five on Saturday. Mum threw me a party and it was pigs ears and cupcakes all round at the house of hound. Yeah for me.

Anyway, I'm off for a snooze after all the excitement. Bye for now Readers - The birthday boy.

Winter Garden Cleanup

Hi Readers, I thought you might like these pics of the non greyhound members of the House of Hound helping with the gardening chores.

I would have liked to lend a hand but its Sunday and we greys need our beauty sleep.

Cutlet goes all Rambo on the palm fronds.

Rocky the wonder goat and his mum Lucy get to work on the recycling.

Anyway Readers, I'm off to read the Sunday paper and plan my television viewing for the week. Bye for now - Murphy.

GAP's June Foster Carer Walk

Mum, Dad, Prancer, Jess and I headed off to the lake at UQ this morning to catch up with the GAP team. Homer stayed in bed as he has a sore nail that needs resting. It was a typical beautiful Brisbane spring day, crisp and fine. We were a few minutes late getting there as our GPS was set to "rat run" rather than "quickest route". Anyway, we had a great time after our impromptu tour of St Lucia and its surrounds.


I hope you enjoy the photos-

All was peaceful and serene (and then we arrived).









Jess and Loki ready to go.













Jay Jay gets goosed.

We spotted a couple of students collecting these. When they saw us they giggled and ran off.

The gang by the lake.

Jay Jay cuts a fine figure.

Greyhound pup Reggie admires Prancer's winning form.

Karen holding honourary greyhound and GAP testing dog Harvey, with Loki looking on.

Anyway Readers, I must be off for a snooze in the afternoon sun. Bye for now - Murphy.

Full Moon = Greyhound Madness

Hi Readers, this post has nothing to do with camp twilighty vampire wannabes who sparkle in the sun instead of bursting into a cloud of foul dust, this is about the primordial wolf lurking inside we greys.

The recent full moon moon has seen strange behaviour at the house of hound.  The normally placid Homer has been tossing pillows around the house, Prancer has been watching the chickens with evil intent through the back door, Jess has been staring at the ceiling as if she has seen a ghost and Dad says I have been even more demanding at dinner time.

 Don't say you haven't been warned!

















Bye for now Readers - Murphy.

2010 Brookfield Show

Hi Readers, Prancer and I have just completed three long days promoting GAP at the Brookfield show. It was great to catch up with all our friends who visited us last year and to make new friends this year. The hounds were as popular as ever and I hope you like the following photos -

I'd love to show you pictures of all the happy school children patting us but thanks to all the left wing hippy nanny state regulations I can't :( (well I could but we promised the school we wouldn't).

A couple of young punks.

Is Hogwarts near here?

Zoe has been adopted and is off to her new home today, yeah!














Until next time Readers - bye for now - Murphy.
