We are doing OK here in the big city.<br /><br />Kat- Cute doggies, but they're not exactly lap dogs. Sure run fast, though...<br /><br />Joni- That's very true about greyhounds. They either look embarassed or sneaky all the time. We'll be suiting ours up in his jacket soon. The greyhounds here are brought up from the New England states.<br /><br />Danielle- Thanks, things are mostly back to normal now for us.Alan W.

Its a greyhound rescue league, though the dogs looked a little embarassed.

She was a really friendly dog...and they do seem to smile a lot. Umm...were you speaking of a God in the femanine?<br /><br />Nat- I've found that greyhounds either look very sneaky or sort of stunned most of the time.<br /><br />Ant- Yeah, it's interesting when you get a room-full of them together like that. The owners are kind of odd as well...<br /><br />Rachel- I enjoy the yearly event. It makes for a good fundraiser for the rescue agency as well.Alan W.

Or better yet, to no race at all, heh. <br /><br />I'm glad your trees weren't in such bad shape as the ones in the picture, (cool pic, btw!) and also that you and your family are ok despite the inconveniences. I don't know if I'd be able to live in an area infested by hurricanes...

Lots of different doggie personalities at that event. They're doing another fundraiser soon at the Glacier.<br /><br />David- Thanks, we weathered it pretty well. I laughed at your fourth pic caption about the dog's bum looking big. As a matter of fact, that female won the 'best costume' for those dogs that dressed up for the fashion show (not my cup of tea).<br /><br />Katey- Thanks, Katey. And I thought only DC got all the inclement weather! Personally, I thought the fireman outfit should have been the winner.<br /><br />Karen- Our dog, Jet, has a fleece-lined red coat for the cold weather. I don't like to embarass him with the dress-up show. They're far too noble creatures for that (they estimate they go back to Egypt 4000yrs ago). And thanks, we're doing OK.Alan W.

They just look so pitiful when they shiver. But I still think it should be a low key garment. Something that doesn't embarrass the dog. I have friends with greyhounds and when it's below freezing they wear matching coats, the couple and their two dogs. That....well, that kinda falls into the iffy area for me...laughing..<br /><br />Glad you're ok.
