Huh. Greyhound rescue. I just posted this in Natter:
This makes me sad....
Greyhounds can't outrun hard truth
The decline of racing in Wisconsin claims yet another track, and 250 dogs must now find new homes.
Any Midwestern Buffistas or friends/family need a dog?
Aw man, that's sad. All those dogs needing homes. Thankfully, according to the article they won't euthanise them, but boy what a job to place them. I can say that all of the greyhounds that I've met (that's quite a few since we belonged to Greyhound Pets of America) are really good housepets. BUT they take patience at first, especially a track dog. They don't know what stairs are, or what furniture is and most aren't housebroken. It was amusing and frustrating to try and get ours to use the dog door at first --- you have to picture my husband half in and half out of the door, trying to get her to come through. But they learn fast and just want some love. They really are big couch potatoes.
This face! [link] Schnauzer eyes are so expressive.
I watched the pilot of Profit. Damn, he's a bad man. He snogged Olivia. I wish I hadn't known he
slept in the box,
but I can't work out how I did. From here, no doubt.
The lighting looks weird, but the colour registration might just be off on my DVD player. Looks like they're lit from the side by neon blue, and it really highlights skin problems.
I remember loving Profit, but it's been years since I've seen it.
I'm play-by-playing it for my father (to mitigate my disbelief) and he's pretty amused. I need to go rec it to some folks at krav next week. I
really
need to know how Greenie was going to make it to episode 100.
eta: Ha!
I finished disk 1, and switched to Grey's Anatomy, and my father said "Wait, is this the same thing?" I told him no. "But it can't end like that! There has to be more! The
innocent man's in jail for a crime that doesn't exist!"
Poor guy. Me, I'm on bn.com buying the set.
Standard poodles are just cool dogs.
Plus they are hunting dogs, rather than punting dogs (aka yippy toy poodles).
The black puggle in the link was dedly cute.
There was a guy who did the Iditarod with poodles. I dunno if he finished or not.
Yep. See [link] or [link]
Standard poodles are cool. So are greyhounds. There's one in my neighborhood and she is sooooooo soft.
Thanks for the links, libkitty. LOVE the pictures of the sledding poodles.
Is this where people were talking about
Profit?
I have all 3 disks coming to me from Netflix, and I am more excited about this than I probably should be.
