Book Ends

This is one of those rare shots where Glow and Bullet decide to play at the same time and get in the play position opposite each other. 

Glow and Bullet at play

Glow and Bullet love to chase each other around the yard. Either one will start the play and then off they go. 

Tommy makes a deposit

Tommy has a unique style while doing business. He has one front leg back a little to help balance. Cleanup in the fall is a tricky business. Looking through the fallen leaves for dog droppings is like playing the game "Where's Waldo". After the snow falls it is easier to find and it is nice and frozen. 

Glow reacts

Glow reacts to her own whines on the doggy-cam recording. I have a small camera just below the TV that records on the DVD recorder when we go away. We were curious to see how the dogs behave while we are gone. They all are very good and they all sleep most of the time. 

Tommy cuddles up

Tommy cuddles up for a nap in the family room. He looks so peaceful and sweet with his front legs crossed. 

Stephanie stretches out

Stephanie spent most of Ruby's visit sleeping in the kennel. Here she is all stretched out on her belly. 

Sierra gets a cuddle

Dorothy gives Sierra a cuddle. He has been through a lot with his cancer, but he seemed quite strong during his visit 

The Cobblepots

Tommy and Glow decide to pose for me, so here they are brother and sister. 

Ruby

This is a good front shot of Ruby. She is a beautiful puppy and very well behaved. 

Fitting In

Ruby squeezes in between Glow and Sierra. She gets along great with all of the big dogs. She got a little intimidated by all of them trying to sniff her at once though. 

Stephanie??

No...this is Ruby. She is 5 months old and has a deformed shoulderblade. She is as sweet as can be and loves toys like Stephanie does. She came for a visit after Thanksgiving with Dorothy and Fred. She really looks like a young Stephanie. She acts like a puppy and her coat is very soft. 

Stephanie looks for insurgents

Stephanie looks out into the yard for insurgent squirrels. She will race out with baby in her mouth and will shake baby and try to bark while the other dogs race around chasing the squirrel through the trees. 

The Greeters

This is the sight I see when coming or going. The pups come to the door to the garage and watch as I leave or they are there to welcome me when I come home. 

Lap dog

Stephanie gets special treatment and gets to sit on my lap. 

Bullet and his shadow

Bullet makes a nice pose with his shadow. The morning sun is low and his shadow get extra long legs and a very deep chest. Glow just likes to nap in the warm sun. 

Tommy and leaves

Tommy makes a nice comfortable nest in a pile of leaves. 

An insurgent is spotted.

Stephanie and Bullet spot another squirrel insurgent at the base of the cherry tree. 

Who says that greyhounds can't sit?

Stephanie is the only one in the family to sit like this. Every now and then she will do it.

Glow on guard

Glow looks outside to see if any squirrels are in the yard. All of the pups get very excited if there is a squirrel to chase. The squirrels have to get up very early if they want to raid the bird feeder in our yard. 

Glow relaxes

Glow relaxes in the fourth bed we added to our bed room. Now all of the pups have a place to sleep in our bed room at night. 

Nap time

Stephanie and Bullet relax on the dog beds in our bed room. We have three beds like this and a fourth in the corner. 

Standing watch

Bullet and Glow watch to see if any squirrels are in the yard. 

Squirrel insurgents

Bullet and Glow monitor the back yard constantly for any squirrel insurgents. They dash outside when we open the door and try to catch them. They never have a chance because the squirrels are very quick.

Glow of the fire

Glow lies in front of the fireplace on a cool autumn day. 

Crate mates III

Now Bullet and Tommy share the crate. Glow is the only one that hasn't gone into the crate. The others go there completely on their own.
