Hello Again

Greetings, Everyone! It has been a very long time since we last posted to our blog, in fact, it's been 16 months.

As life goes, things changed for us, and I lost my motivation to share what was happening in our lives. But now, things are reaching a new normal, and I am excited to tap into some long lost creativity!

Harvey, Jackson, and Jimmy Chew are a little older, but are doing just fine. Jello is with her dad, and she's doing well too.

So, to catch up, here's a little summary of what we've been doing since our last post. :)

We've been on a lot of walks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We've celebrated birthdays and gotcha days.

 

 

 

 

 

The boys have had a few boo-boos.

 

 

 

 

I've been able to help with a few GURs, including one for Mr. Giles Henry!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And maybe the best news of all, Harvey is now a certified therapy dog. We've had so many amazing experiences together and have met some wonderful people. Our favorite activity thus far has been volunteering as a read team for Paws to R.E.A.D., a program designed to help improve reading skills for children.

 

 

 

We're excited about posting here again. Love and hugs to our Greyhound friends.

Monkey Jockeys and More

Hello friends, I thought I would share more of my collection of vintage Greyhound images. The first group is particularly interesting!

Just prior to 1930, Loretta and Charlie David began training capuchin monkeys as Greyhound "jockeys." The monkeys had specially designed saddles and spent two years training with their Greyhound partners. The Davids introduced them to crowds in Palm Beach, Florida, before taking the act across country.





More images from long ago.





Thanks for visiting!

Simple Pleasures

Jackson loves toys.








And Harvey? Shredding paper's just fine for him.






Silly boys.

A Beautiful Day

Several weeks ago I decided to take today as a vacation day, and oh my, did I pick the right day! It's an absolutely beautiful day... warm, breezy and sunny. It seemed like a great day to find Jackson's bear, who hasn't been played with all winter!

Jackson picked up right where he left off.






Jimmy tries to figure out what all the fuss is about.

Now everyone's enjoying the sun.



And this is how we started our day...

Hope you enjoyed your Monday too!
