Love in Shades of Fawn and Brindle

Even though Valentine's Day has come and gone, the love that we share with our greyhounds is a timeless gift that will continue to grow in strength throughout the year.

This week's poem celebrates the important and meaningful bond between man (or woman!) and dog.

Needle: Cold Weather Update

Hiya. Here's a brief update on Needle and how he's coping with the persistently cold weather we've "enjoyed" this winter.

His twice-daily hour-long walks have been a lot shorter since it started getting so cold in December, sometimes only a few minutes before he turns his tail (literally!) for home.

So, our boy has turned his attention to other pursuits. Well, one pursuit: food.

Greyhound Love

How Do I Love Greyts?

Just in time for Valentine's Day, this week's "Greyt Words to Wag By" is inspired by Elizabeth Barrett Browning's classic love poem entitled "How Do I Love Thee?"

Hi. My real name is Betania, but I go by Beth.  I am three years old and the cutest little thing you ever met.  I love to cuddle and get petted and don't care who is doing the petting.  I even give kisses!!  I am a sweet, happy, affectionate girl.

A January It Was

Hello NLGA Dog Blog Readers!

January 2014 was a memorable one.  Memorable not only for the cold and snow but more importantly because we each had the honor and privilege to spend our days with our greyhounds!  Or, are dreaming of adding a greyhound to our family to spend our days with.

Bree enjoyed January ... while waiting for spring!
