Kevin's musings

Well, not much in the way of posts recently. Spent last week trying to avoid this flu/cold that was trying to take hold of me, and as of friday: I failed. I hate being sick. Guess I get to spend the weekend sleeping and coughing. 🙁

Taking the dogs for their walk on friday about wiped me out… they probibly won’t get a walk today.

Last saturday the Lovely S and her pup Dazzle came by for a vist/walk. They are both very nice and I hope I see more of them. 😉
Dazzle sure has a lot of energy (she’s only 2):

Dazzle the blur running around the yard with merlin:

She was interested in meeting Bitty… apparently the cats at her house are pretty bossy:

On tuesday the weather was nice enough to break out the pool. One of kurts fav things in the entire world:

He managed to go in before it was even filled:

Merlin and Twyla: “Thanks for the big water bowl out here”

Twyla got in, which is pretty odd for her, but really she just wanted water direct from the faucet:

Ah, contentment:

Today was the Colorado Greyhound Companions annual picnic.
I was worried that it would be super hot and nasty out today, but while warm it wasn’t as bad as it could have been, wince there was cloud cover and some nice wind.

I saw at least 3 dogs that had been fosters of mine in the past. It’s always cool to see them again, nice and happy… they all remembered me too, which is cool. They really have good memories of that kind of thing. 🙂

They reserved a baseball field so we could do some ‘fun runs’. They lined up dogs being held on one side and then released them to go to their owners. Merlin managed to win his age group (7-9) at 11seconds and then won the all around (in that case he “interfered” with some of the other dogs and his time was’t that great… but he had fun at least).

Merlin was glad to see people he knew…

Dublin, a former foster of mine looking cool in his doggles (he has pannus):

Distant shot of the ‘fun run’. I think this was the 1-3yr old group running:

And there off!

Merlin won a stylish flower and lei…

Pat Jones was retiring from being president and driving force for the group for the last 13 years.
They presented her with a picture of her first greyhound with the names of all the greyhounds that found homes while she was running the group. She’s really a wonderfull person, and I hope she enjoys retirement.

A pic of tiny. The smallest greyhound there… 39lbs and 10.5 years old. Hope to see you out there more tiny! 😉
