Mango / Biggie Z Dogpile contest

Mango and Biggie Z are co-hosting a contest they are calling "dogpile".
The rules are simple enough - see how many "objects" you can pile on your dog before he or she "objects" :)
This is the kind of competition where Hero can really shine- it consists of lying still . And with 5 kids we have a good supply small toys.
Here is Hero's entry:

A little help from my friends please....

As you know our friends at Houndstooth were visitor # 10,000 - and thus we owe them a prize.
Having fun with one of the photos Carrie sent me of her gorgeous hound Bunny, I decided to branch out into a new medium; watercolors.
Now "experimenting" on someone else's greyhound definitely doesn't sound good, but I promise, no hounds were harmed in the creation of this print,
and I did warn her that you get what you pay for...



So here is where the "help" comes in. I am looking for a witty caption/ title for this pic. (The intention being to print it into a greeting / note card- my first thought was something like "Tales from the couch..." But I know y'all can do better) And how about we say, the winner gets some note cards too ????...

Warrenton Meet and Greet

Yesterday was our monthly VAGA Meet and Greet, right here in lovely Warrenton, Virginia :)

Ambassadogs extraordinaire : Puddin' Pop, Harper, and Hero.

Harper has a secret to share with Puddin'.

No one can resist scritchin' Puddin's belly.

No worries- even right in the middle of the aisle is just fine :)

We met up with a young fellow even bigger than my Hero

Breezer came to join the fun too. Unfortunately Genna had grabbed our OLD digital camera - the one whose auto focus doesn't work dependably anymore...
I LOVED Harper's expression in the following picture but the focus ended up being really soft, so a little "Be Funky" treatment and-


Have a GREYT week all !

Did you hear?

The very first thing I want to do is thank ALL our blogger buddies for visiting our blog. (Y'all got us to 10,000 visitors in a hurry :)
But congratulations go to our friends at Houndstooth for being visitor # 10,000.
I have requested (and received) pictures of one of her greyhounds and will be coming up with a prize.
Stay tuned....
Secondly, we say good-bye to our friend Broadway Bark (aka Bart)- now Sinclair.
He is going to a wonderful forever home, with experienced greyhound owners- and will have 3 lovely new greyhound sisters.
We will all miss you "Bart" , but trust me you have hit the greyhound -forever home- jackpot.

Will you be #10,000 ??

I noticed my visitor counter for this blog is getting VERY close to 10,000.
I really should have a prize for my 10,000th visitor, don't cha' think?
Of course #10,000 will probably be my DH or DD who regularly troll my blog without leaving comments- (yes you- you know you do!)
Oh well, if you notice that my counter reads 10,000 at your visit, let me know, and I'll see what I can come up with.
