Bonus Lunar New Year celebration - Happy Year of the Noodle Horse, aka #greyhound.
Although our noodle horse is no longer with us, she still remains in spirit.

#lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear #yearofthehorse #happylunarnewyear #happychinesenewyear #horse #greyhounds #dog #noodlehorse #illustration
An image celebrating the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Horse. However it has been amended to include the word "noodle" before horse, and the image is of a greyhound dog, aka a noodle horse. It has a drawing of a white greyhound with gold patches and gold outlines, with it standing side-on to the left. It says "Year of the Noodle Horse" with the words noodle and horse in gold, and Chinese characters for noodle and horse in between "Year of the" and "Horse".

Kitty spa day.

I loved seeing Nacho the oriental shorthair getting his post-dishwasher cycle steam spa, and wanted to capture some of the steamy bliss.

An illustration of a close up of a white and ginger oriental shorthair cat's head. The cat looks content with eyes closed as steam rises up from below. An illustration of a white and ginger oriental shorthair cat sitting with eyes closed over a dishwasher door which is ajar. Steam rises up from the crack. An illustration of a white and ginger oriental shorthair cat sitting with eyes closed over a dishwasher door which is ajar. Steam rises up from the crack. The cat is meowing, but as an oriental shorthair it makes a noise more like "uhhhhhhng" which is written above it.

Memories of Leela 🐾

The day we adopted Leela, we were walking her out of the office and there was a man sitting on a bench outside petting another #greyhound. This scenario then played out (with some artistic license taken).

Memories of Leela 🐾

I remember being surprised by how much Leela moulted for such a short-haired dog, especially in the first year when she lost her kennel coat. It's nothing compared to some breeds, but greys are said to be "low shedders"...!

Memories of Leela 🐾

Almost a week after we adopted her, she came over and put her head on my knee when I was on the sofa.

A photo of a white and black greyhound, resting her head on the knee/thigh of someone wearing dark grey jogging bottoms. She is looking into the camera as the hooman pets the left side of her neck.

Memories of Leela 🐾

This is the first ever pic I drew of Leela, which I quickly doodled just before I went to bed on the day we adopted her. That was just over 7 years ago.

A cartoony illustration of a white and black greyhound, who has a distinctive pattern of three black splotches across her left flank.

We sadly lost our beloved long doggo Leela on Monday.

She was the sweetest, most wonderful girl and we'll miss her so much 💔

🌈
A photo of a white and black female greyhound called Leela. It is a close up of the left side of her head, with up to her shoulders visible. She is lying on her front in short grass on a sunny day, with her long right paw visible off to the side behind her head. She looks calmly at the camera in a way that suggests "what now?", because we were constantly annoying her by taking photos of her and saying how pretty she was. She was the goodest girl.

Footprints.

These are the pawprints of my Leela, which I found in the snow in the garden this morning.

My post-Christmas status.

#CCPointsettiaRed #colour_collective #postchristmas #christmasfood #illustration
An illustration of an exaggeratedly rotund person (meant to be a woman, but hard to make out here) wearing a red jumper and blue jogging bottoms passed out on the floor post-Christmas feasting. The feet are towards the viewer and her head isn't visible. Her belly button is exposed and protruding, as if all of the food has turned it into an outie. In her left hand is a partially eaten mince pie. There is a lebkuchen biscuit on her belly, and half of a pulled cracker behind her right leg.

#illo_advent Day 24 - A surprise late-night visitor! #merrychristmaseve

#day24 #illo_advent2025 #illustration #santa #downthechimney #santashere #christmaseve #greyhound #dog #greyhounds #greyhoundchristmas
An illustration of a white and black greyhound sleeping in a living room containing a lit replica coal fireplace, a deep red armchair and a lit Christmas tree in the corner. The armchair has a white cushion with a big, yellow star on it and the fireplace has a long, thin red and white Christmas stocking hanging beside it containing a hedgehog stuffed dog toy. The fireplace has a pair of legs falling into it with black boots and red trousers with white trim, sending up specks of soot and wafting a cloud of ash into the room. The greyhound is looking up, surprised by the sudden appearance.

It is wearing a Santa hat and dangling from a string like an ornament.

Should I have spent all evening adding a mouse to my collection of mouse carol singers for #colour_collective #CC_PhthaloGreen? No. But I had fun anyway. 💜

An illustration of a white and black greyhound lying on its side on a bed, and a dark-haired woman lying behind it on the bed essentially acting as the "big spoon", her arm draped across the dog. They are wearing matching hooded jumpers, which are forest green and covered in repeating white rows of alternating Christmas trees and stars in a Fair Isle type knit pattern.

The #CRAZYHolidayFashionShow is here! Inspired by Pepper and Charlie’s new tradition of Ugly #Christmas Underwear, the CRAZY Critters have jumped in, except for Charlie who’s grounded for not changing his! Wendy opted for a more traditional jumper! And #MMGoGlobal is still on!

This one's from a few years ago, but I think it's very fitting for @jonscrazyblues.bsky.social's #CRAZYHolidayFashionShow!

#greyhound #christmas
A cartoony illustration of a woman and a greyhound dog posing in front of a small Christmas tree. The woman has chin length black hair and brown rectangular glasses, and is reclining on her right side Roman-style whilst modelling a most fashionable Christmas jumper featuring a chubby panda which has gold-sequinned antlers and a sparkly red scarf. She is also wearing grey leggings with white stars. In front of her legs is a white and black greyhound lying in a sphynx position and facing to the left. She is wearing a red housecoat covered in a white snowflake pattern and a very nonchalant expression.
