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).

Is Hogwarts near here?

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

Lest We Forget

Sunday the 25th of April is ANZAC day, a day to remember the brave men, women and their service animals that have made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of our country. Please take a moment to remember the fallen and the freedoms we take for granted today because of their actions.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

You can also send a message to our troops overseas here - http://anzacday.telstra.com/event

April GAP Foster Carer's Walk

Hi Readers, it was off to Jindalee for the April foster carer's walk this morning. We had a great time at the park and met some nice people who are looking to adopt. We also met some of the local hounds who were very well behaved.

Aunty Rebecca was sick this morning so we send her big greyhound cuddles and hope she is well soon.


I hope you enjoyed the pictures. Bye for now - Murphy.
