Greyhound Watchdog Saves the Night


A couple days after Christmas, we woke up to our living room window being open, the blinds crooked, and the screen missing.  Two lap top computers were piled on top of the love seat.  Someone had been in our home while we were asleep!  Yes very unnerving!  This is part of the reason that I have taken so long to write about it. 

I must have left a window unlocked and the would be their easily slipped it open, removed the stool inside and used it as a boost into the apartment.

Thank God that no one was hurt and that nothing was stolen.

We are guessing that our fearless Wolf wandered out to the living room to check out the noises only he heard.  Imagine you are a skinny, scrawny junkie looking for a quick boost and a large hound comes trotting out to you piling up three year old lap top computers.  In the dark all you see is a BIG dog-- maybe stretching and yawning while showing a little teeth. 

OUT THE WINDOW!  Dropping three plastic lighters with your finger prints on them along with a little bit of DNA as well.  It won't be long before the Melbourne Police come knocking on your cardboard box if you're already in the system.

The important thing here is, Nobody was hurt.  Nothing was stolen.  I double check all the doors and windows before turning in each night.

New Addition to the Greyhound Gallery that is our home

We were wandering through one of the nicer thrift stores here in town and came across this four feet tall three feet wide picture of a greyhound named Hamlet. We have not been able to find anything about him/her but we are assuming that this was an actual hound. Racing? Show?  Anyone know anything?

Anyway, it's going to look greyt on the living room wall.

Canis Major


CANIS MAJOR
by Robert Frost

The great Overdog 
That heavenly beast
With a star in one eye 
Gives a leap in the east.

He dances upright 
All the way to the west 
And never once drops 
On his forefeet to rest. 

I'm a poor underdog,
But to-night I will bark 
With the great Overdog 
That romps through the dark.

Robert Frost had to be writing about the Greyhound.  The greatest of all dogs!
