I am SHOKKED to heer about yur resent display of ungreytful behavyur! I habs herd dat yu habs tried to bite yur domestick staff!!!!! Dis is KNOT axseptable yung lady! Da only time I wood KNOT be upset iffen I herd dis is iffen someone was treeting yur rong–butt dis was KNOT da case!

Frends, I make ma case: Mama Caffie habs reported to me dat it habs been too cold at nite fur da Muddletts to sleep in der outside run wiff delux stuffy filled dog condominium. Dis is a kind and caring thot, rite? So da very kind and nice peeple who are in charge of looking over such things habs eggstended a cordiall invitation to da girls to pleeze come inside to sleep. Well, little Miss Too Big Fur Her Stripes habs reacted on nite one wiff a loud voice of protest, but evenchually, she went inside. OK, I can see dat–makin some noise. Chanje is hard. Butt da last nite? Mama Caffie says it was gonna be 20 degrees American. Well, dat is too cold for a yung houndie! So her staff came to essgort her in, and dat wicked little girl try to BITE dem!!!!!

Bite dem!!! eek.gif

Georgia, dis is how I felt when I herd dis noos:

Yu can KNOT act dat way when yur peeple are trying to help yu! OK, its gud yur an independent lady. Yur gonna need dat spirit when yur battling it out fur da furst prize at da track. I get it–yu are woman, hear yu roar! Butt sometimes yu cant habs everything yur way! Dis is da troof, and all gud houndies habs to learn dis.

Whot wood happen to us iffen we got to eat as much as we want? Why we’d look like sausages wiff toofpick legs! Whot wood happen if everytime I wanted to drink Chikken Arms coffee I did? Why I wood probably habs a hart attak frum all dat caffeen! Whot wood happen iffen everytime I saw a nice pare of Miss Cara-Leas jimjams, I stole Mommys credit card and bot dem? She wood go broke, and I wood be homeless. Well, probably KNOT me, onaccounta some nice GT’er wood take me, butt no WAY ennybuddy wood adopt old Chikken Arms! Whot wood happen iffen everytime yu wanted to make a tinkle, yu did, no matter ware yu were? Wait…yu habs KNOT learned about “house braking” yet. Skratch dat won… I think yu catch ma drift yung lady!

Sometimes we habs to trust are peeple. When dey tried to bring yu inside, it was fur yur own good! So yu cud be warm inside!

Pleeze, leetle girl, stop wiff da stinkin thinkin! I want to feel like DIS when I hear about whot yur doing:

Now, yu go think on dis. And apologize to da nice peeple!

Wiff lubs,

Yur Unkle George in da deep, deep snows of Noo England

Adopted! Destin to Dream “Jessie”

Filed under: 5. ADOPTED!! — Cathie @ 11:18 pm

Update!  2/7/09 – Jessie, now to be known as Dream, moved to her new home with John Read.  She will live with another greyhound named Hope.  John has already discovered what a snuggle bug Dream is, and he’s very happy with his new baby girl.  Thank you, John!  Thank you, Denise and Janet – for making sure she was easily transitioned from track life to foster to forever home.  XOXOXO

Jessie is in a foster home with Denise, who lives in Tennessee.  I just got this note from Denise to help potential adopters know if she might fit in their home:

Jessie loves to play with toys and snuggle with her people. She gets along with all her greyhound housemates, including the cats. She has learned how to sit and lay down for a treat. Her house-training is going very good, with no accidents in the house. She has learned how to go up and down stairs. She walks well on leash.

She would be good for the first time greyhound adopter, or as an addition to a multi-dog home. Jessie hasn’t been tested with children, but because she has a fun personality, she would most likely do very well with children.

Jessie is a happy easy going girl, who knows she’s adorable, and loves attention.

Please contact me at wmlcml6@gmail.com if you have any questions about sweet little Jessie.  ~Cathie~

January 2009 – Adoptables Update

Filed under: 3. Retire Me ... — Tags: , — Cathie @ 3:57 pm
Below is a list of the beauties we have available for adoption.
We've got two leaving on 1/13 to go to a group in Atlanta, and if Rebel passes his cat test and "being an only dog" test, he will go to Canada in March.
Please let Cathie know if you have any questions or would like to meet any of these great greyhounds.  wmlcml6@gmail.com
Tuffy (long legged lean brindle male - very outgoing and energetic)
John (red brindle male with white markings - nice personality)
Spirit (shy, smaller brindle boy)
Lefty (shy, light fawn male)
Boston (shy, currently living in a foster home and progressing very nicely)
Rebel (pending cat and alone test – going to Canada in March)
Reno (to Atlanta on 1/13/09; needs to be at  GAP on Monday)
Katie (to Atlanta on 1/13/09; needs to be at  GAP on Monday)
We also have the last of "Baby's Babies" available.  Jessie (Destin to Dream) is part of a litter of 10 wonderful greyhounds, and is currently in a foster home in Tennesee.  She is a small dark brindle girl, housetrained, affectionate, and would love a home of her own.  Click here for a video of Baby's Babies, created by Janet Shaffer (who adopted Peanut from this litter).
I will add pictures this weekend.  ~Cathie~
