Below are pictures of Virgil and Rebecca’s dog friends (and cat!) enjoying their favorite sport (lounging in comfort) and a few other activities.
Our three greyhounds are rescues through GAGC, a terrific organization.
Virgil and Rebecca’s Dogs
Our newest boy, Jordie, in the foreground during his first week with us, June 2010 (greyhound, retired racer, 2 years).
Sweet Jordie exploring the yard. He has just one eye from injuries he received as a puppy. He’s also missing part of his upper lip.
Zelda, our youngster princess, showing off her beauty for the camera (greyhound, retired racer, 3 years).
Zelda on her first day in our yard , checking the perimeter.
Zelda in her first snuggle with Logan on their day-time family room bed. We were thrilled to see this. Note the toys and dog blankets Zelda has dragged out.
Handsome Logan enjoying the backyard on a spring day (greyhound, retired racer, 5 years).
Logan again, relaxed and loving us, happy to be near us at night and near his new friends, Glory and Alex.
Alex, our happy teddy bear boy who died in Aug 2008. We miss his friendly smile and his loving nature (black lab).
Our sweet Maizy, a lab/beagle mix who died in May 2010. We had her only six months, but we loved her dearly.
Glory, our beloved old girl. We lost her in May 2010 (greyhound, retired racer, 12 years).
Glory, our “Princess and the Pea” who always demanded layers.
Glory swimming in the deep end after a big snow.
Alex and Glory enjoying the snow: Alex by licking and Glory by sniffing.
Our sweet Lily, who died in Jan 2008. Much loved and much missed (border collie mix).
Here’s Lucy, our tabby. She looks deceptively sweet here. She actually likes to shred!
More of Lucy.
And here’s Lucy, just about to scratch. We call her the Cinder Block Cat!
Okay, not a dog or even a cat (although I do occasionally call him my greyhound). My beloved Virgil with his radio-controlled plane.
