We had met a few greyhounds in Edmonton, but none had quite been the right fit for us. Since we’d first started looking at hounds on the Chinook Winds website, we’d been drawn to Priest, if only for his completely awesome name. So we talked it over with the adoption reps, and made arrangements to Queen of Swordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13955744960051922025noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835196743528641653.post-49485240800505913792009-08-06T09:32:00.003-06:002009-08-06T09:49:17.978-06:00Worst! Morning! Ever!I just had the most worstest morning EVER!Mummy and I got up at 5:40 like normal for our morning walk, but Mummy was looking outside and looking outside and saying things like, "You're not going to like it," and "It's raining," but I wanted to go on my walk. We got downstairs and she put on her sweater like normal, but then she put on another jacket too. And put on my collar and leash, but then!

Like, when he got here last week, he was sure that my round bed was his! And he wasn't taking no for an answer. And he barks a lot, and even howls, and when I come to see what he's making noise at, it's just someone in the field, or something. And then, like today, I think he wants to play, Queen of Swordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13955744960051922025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835196743528641653.post-18639421455773435582009-02-05T09:50:00.007-07:002009-02-05T11:53:50.754-07:00Not fairMummy gets in these moods sometimes. When she gets in these moods, she takes away places for me to lie down. She takes the blankets off the couch and then for some weird reason I'm not allowed to be on it until she puts them back, and she doesn't put them back for hours! She takes them downstairs and does something with them, and I'm not allowed to lie on the couch. And then she'll put them back Queen of Swordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13955744960051922025noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835196743528641653.post-42742560590007428952008-12-23T14:43:00.008-07:002009-01-14T14:13:16.713-07:00Huh? and ChristmasHuh?

Mummy and Daddy and I got in the Priestmobile, and we drove. We drove for a long time, and Mummy and Daddy kept talking about being lost, but I lay down in the back of the Priestmobile and looked out the window, and stood up when we went on the bumpy roads. Finally we got to where we were going, and there was another dog there named Aspen who didn't like me Queen of Swordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13955744960051922025noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835196743528641653.post-53296387276007787642008-10-27T13:54:00.004-06:002008-10-27T14:08:40.930-06:00Hallowe'en Howleroo!So for the last while, Mummy's been trying these clothes on me. They didn't seem terribly practical, and reminded me of that first coat that Mummy and Daddy used when I first came to them before I got my own coat. But Mummy kept wanting to put these clothes on me, and even though I really didn't like it, I let her. I had no idea what was going to happen!I guess I wasn't the only one whose Mummy Queen of Swordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13955744960051922025noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835196743528641653.post-77439418379632573542008-10-07T14:18:00.002-06:002008-10-07T14:26:35.080-06:00Duchess watches TVQueen of Swordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13955744960051922025noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835196743528641653.post-73598723056634521142008-10-07T11:41:00.002-06:002008-10-07T11:52:54.043-06:00I'm braveThis morning when we were walking, there was a man without a dog and who wasn't running. He was walking on the other side of the field from us, but I still saw him and thought that it was weird. Then, when we came around the corner of the path, he was there in front of us! He was sitting on the path. Well, I knew this was definitely Not Right. People don't sit on the path.

Boy, those were some good drugs. I lay on the couch all night, and then the next day, I barely limped! I still feel it every once in a while, but it's not bad at all anymore. But the laying on the couch was great. I'm finding more and more comfortable positions to lie in.

Ow... Ow...Mummy and I spent most of the afternoon at the vet, and this is why.We were there a long time, but I still had a good time, even though my foot hurts something fierce! There was a nice vet lady who tested my leg and my foot, and then Mummy and I waited a while, and then I got to go into the Treatment Room! I love the Treatment Room!

I should start with the picnic! This was what Mummy was talking about, but Mummy didn't even go! Daddy and I went and we met Sabrina and Apollo and their mummy and daddy in person, and Daddy and I had an awesome time, even though I spent seven hours trying to get Daddy to explore with me, and he wanted to explore in different directions, or didn't want to explore at all.

Mummy and Daddy brought Mesa home two days after Red went home with his family. Except Mesa doesn't have a family yet. Mummy says that we're "fostering" her. I remember when I was a foster. I didn't know I was a foster, but I did know I sort of belonged there and sort of didn't. Mesa maybe knows that too, but it doesn't seem to bother her any.

Now, we both agree that there just isn't room for Mummy. You don't lie on the edge of the bed, and my legs are just too long, so Mummy will have to go somewhere else. But see here's how I see it. You're kind of shaped like a long thin pole, and I'm kind of... rectangular. SoQueen of Swordshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13955744960051922025noreply@blogger.com2
