Welcome Plane!

Make room on the landing strip for Plane! He's a sweetheart of a boy who will be celebrating his fourth birthday in less than a month. Plane shares some of his father's personality quirks, he's unnerved by flying insects and runs away from them, he is goofy and he's extremely affectionate. While Plane would prefer a home without small animals he's otherwise perfect.

Name: Plane
Racing name: Power Plane
Weight: 72 pounds
Color: Brindle
Born: September 12th, 2005

Sam and Boo agree, Hard-Boiled Softies Rock!

Sam's mom ready yesterday's blog post and wrote in on his behalf to tell us how much he likes Huey, Boris Bee's hedgehog cousin! Huey is Sam's favorite toy as you can see in the photos below :)

Huey tastes delicious!

Toys!

One of the hardest things to do as a greyhound parent is to find a toy that keeps your dog engaged. Greyhounds are such big fuzzy slugs by nature that they seem to lose interest in the toys rather quickly, either they eviscerate them immediately to forget they exist in about twenty-four hours. Well, our good friend Symon, the proprietor of Furever Pets, recommended this absurb looking bee. He knows that our dogs like the toys that have a funny deep squawk and this one fits the bill. It is essentially an oversized rubber squeeker with a balistic nylon backed fuzzy covering.

In this case we ended up with Boris Bee. Boris Bee came home on Tuesday and he hasn't had a moment's rest. Boo and Boris Bee woke me up yesterday morning and this morning, I find him all over the house, on the sofa, in various crates, on my bed, in the dog beds, just about everywhere but the refrigerator! He's been such a hit around here that I went back to get Petey Penguin today.
