The First Greytwalk of 2009!

Saturday was the first Greytwalk of 2009 and my foster brothers and I were raring to go. We headed out to Kookaburra Park at Karana Downs on another hot summer afternoon. A lot of our friends were there and after the walk we decided to cool off in the river. We certainly attracted a lot of attention from the water skiers and fishermen when we entered the water.



We are looking forward to the next walk at the Botanic Gardens next month! Bye for now - Murphy.

PS - Would the greyhound that "borrowed" the jet ski please return it to the Karana Downs boat ramp as its owner is getting concerned.

Thylicine sighting??

As we all know, the last Thylicine died in captivity in the 1930s after being hunted to extinction in the wild. Or did it ? This photo was taken by Dad this morning in the wilds of Burpengary. It could also be the rare Homersaurus in its native environment. The insert picture is from the Tasmanian museum and is shown for comparison. You decide - cheers - Murphy.

I Just wanted to post this picture of Homer. I think a picture can be worth a thousand words sometimes!.

Dog's Breakfast 25 January

Hi, Murphy here. Today was our first Dog's breakfast of the year and there was a great turnout. It was also one of the most humid days in Brisbane's history. We were all soaked from the humidity and then the heavens opened and we were soaked by a rain storm. A wet greyhound is not a happy greyhound! Here are some pics of Oscar the foster, me (of course) and the only option I had to cool down after our walk around the Roma Street Parklands

NSW GAP on Sunrise!

Here is a link to the NSW Greyhound Adoption Program being featured on Sunrise (A Channel 7 national morning news and variety show that runs weekdays from 06:00 to 09:00). Even though they aren't Queenslanders, I thought I would put it on my blog to help my fellow hounds that need a home. The things we do!

Honey & Cherry the 2 little girls are both 11 and very cute and handle life with the greys very well.

I had an overwhelming desire to do something happy today as it has been an emotional week with the passing of our beloved Muddy last Saturday and the funeral for Russ's Auntie Pam on Tuesday.

So what could be better than spending time with the kids who give so much love and then while looking for photo's for Alex I came across these and they made me happy and made me smile so I thought I would post them for everyone and hope they make you smile to.

( sorry Alex I don't think any of them are what your looking for) I will keep searching though.

After all the stress of the past few days, the hounds decided that a nice relaxing day was just the thing. Here is Oscar chilling out on the lounge.

Despite his outgoing personality, he really is just a big puppy who loves everybody (except the bull terrier up the road who he woofs at as a matter of course on his walks with his foster dad).

Here is our shy foster Homer practising his "no photos please" pose for his next media engagement. Homer has made a lot of progress with us so far but still has a way to go before he fully trusts humans again. He is a gentle darling with a lovely nature who will make a great and loyal companion.
