(wanna try and get them off the couch?), "ohh, are they sick, they look so starved" (i'd call their stomachs abysses), "isn't it stupid to make a dog wear coats (they are not dogs but houndshaped princesses!)usual questions every time we meet people! would be a change to meet greyhound people, even if their hounds were invisible or pinned to the couch or the aunt of an aunties hound, though xxxDottihttp://dottiscosm.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-76415174682429144522010-04-17T02:08:52.264-05:002010-04-17T02:08:52.264-05:00they are a stunning and lovely breed. we used to m...they are a stunning and lovely breed. we used to meet a few at the dog park now and then. i've seen them on our town's dog walk too.

We know about half of our neighborhood because it gives people an excuse to talk to us. We live in a neighborhood with a lot of restaurants and outdoor seating; when we're walking the pooches whole tables of people will turn their heads and stare. It's kind of fun, but sometimes a bit uncomfortable. In terms of the other greyhounds, maybe they don't go on as many walks as you do?Two Pitties in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04694420319336839807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581194809685521989.post-42537356791086087462010-04-15T20:57:08.658-05:002010-04-15T20:57:08.658-05:00We love you guys so much.

But don't feel bad. Humans can't really compete with dogs when it comes to getting attention. Ask any actor. Most of them hate being in shows with dogs because the dogs steal the show. My wrinkles attract a lot of attention just when we walk in the neighborhood. Humans even stop their cars to ask about me. Just the other night I almost caused a fender bender.
