Apparently there is a swarm of bees on the grassy knoll otherwise known as the Humane Society’s fenced in area.
Joan just called to say that play group was cancelled. She has computer problems and has been unable to notify people.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused but hounds and bees are not a good idea.
Yo Bi-at-ches,
My person loves to eat and she loves variety. Just open the pantry and there are three different kinds of olive oils and all kinds of other choices.
Yet, she fed me the same old, same old food day in and day out. I like routine but not on the menu.
So I did what any hound with a gourmet palate would do — I stopped eating.
This greatly upset her because she thought I was sick. I would just graze my food.
After about two days, she made me something special in the crock-pot. I must share that life will never be the same around here.
Recipe: 1 cup brown rice, 2 cups water, 1/2 pound frozen broccoli, 2 chicken breasts-skinless. The recipe said to cook on high for 5 hours but after 3 1/2 hours, the rice was starting to burn so she added more water and turned it down to low.
When it was all done, I had mushy but wholesome meals for 3 or 4 days plus kibble. Now I have a crock-pot slave.
I see her messing with the crock-pot again so I think she’s making me another batch. Yum.
I love my crock-pot slave.

Last Sunday’s exclusive greyhound playdate was cancelled due to bad weather.
While it might not have been raining where you were, the grassy knoll of the playdate location was wet and muddy due to an earlier downpour.
Wet and muddy is not conducive to greyhounds running.
Pending this Sunday’s weather, a new playdate is planned. Please check back to this blog post as to whether or not the playdate is on or cancelled for July 27.
Just know that if the ground is wet and muddy even though it might not be raining, playdate will be cancelled. Safety first.
Please view the usual specifics.
Joan had some problems with sending mass email and some people were not notified in time. She regrets the inconvenience.
Thank you
Yo Bi-at-ches,
I have not par-ti-ci-pated in a long time because I have been having problems.
As Mama Karyn says, “It’s a bitch getting old.”
I went to the doggy eye doctor four times. They ran lots of tests and jibbed and jabbed me and looked at my eye with in-stru-ments. They never discovered what was wrong with me. I took a lot of med-i-cations for months. Now all I do is eye drops twice a day and maybe twice a day for the rest of my life.
When my eye started feeling better, my back legs started shaking again. I could not get up and cried out. Mama Karyn came to help me and when she lifted me from behind — I snapped at her.
Honestly, I don’t know why I did that. I love Mama Karyn with all my heart and she loves me back.
Mama Karyn took me to see Dr. Janet at the Sunrise Pet Clinic for an acupuncture tune-up and it helped just fine. She also put in some needles that might help my eye in-flam-ma-tion.
My favorite thing to do to keep cool is lay on my pillow in front of the wall air conditioner while Karyn works. What do you do to stay cool?
I wear my storm defender cape during the monsoons. I don’t like the big noises, do you?
Did you know that my photo was in the newspaper? Yeah, some guy who smelled good came to pet me and take my photo. I am famous.
TaTa for now.
Stay safe and cool.

Microchips implanted into lost and found dogs work.
Here’s a happy ending to a beagle that ran away 5 years ago in Queens, NY and was found in Georgia to be reunited with the family who never forgot him.
A rule of thumb is if you move or change your phone number, notify the microchipping company so they can keep their records current.
We love happy endings. 
Here’s an interesting article about how uninformed veterinarians are about pet nutrition and how the dog food industry markets their food.

This is a interesting article about how greyhounds are being fostered in a juvenile correctional facility in Kentucky.
Hi All,
You may draw your own conclusions but here’s what happen to my Misty.
I have been feeding Misty, my beautiful brindle girl, Nutro lamb and rice for about a year. She seemed to be fine but 3 weeks ago she had a battle with bloody diarrhea out of the blue. Of course, I rushed her to the vet and got medicine and she was immediately put on a bland diet.
As I nursed her back to health, the Nurto was reintroduced slowly and immediately the diarrhea returned. Later that week, a really good friend sent me the link to the Nutro consumer report. After reading the article, I threw the bag away and started Misty on a different all natural dry dog food. WOW, what a difference and no more diarrhea. I leave it to you to draw your own conclusions.
