We've adopted six ex-racing greyhounds over the past quarter century; currently, just one, and one galgo (so far).
Reading 19th C novels: George Eliot & Thomas Hardy; RLS; M.P. Shiel is creepy.
Burned-out computer tech. 35 years is enough, isn't it?

Statistically, black dogs are the first to be given up, and the last to be adopted. Humans are, collectively, awful.
And it's the same thing with cats.

In Barcelona - "The Abandoned Dog," crafted by Catalan sculptor Artur Aldomà Puig, is a powerful statement, its form radiating sadness and resilience, a tribute to the countless loyal companions who face abandonment and neglect.'

Frida routinely has a lot to say about our rather defective couch.

"On Saturday, 1st February 2025, hundreds of people and their dogs will march through Central London to the Embassy of Spain, demanding an end to hunting with dogs in Spain."
Our own #DiaDelGalgo walk today, here in Vancouver, was a lot smaller, but enthusiastic.

It's been awhile now, but I've had surgery and been too exhausted to cope with recounting this.
Two Saturdays ago, at 9:30pm, our Finn slipped while walking through the kitchen and fell. We both ran to him as he screamed in pain and struggled to get him onto one of his beds.

What a pair - Lili and Finn. He put up with so much from her, never a gripe.

We regularly dog-sit a big fellow who literally runs out of the room if you aim a phone at him. Here's my first portrait of him. It's very strange!

They don't! Except when they do.
Currently, our crew is black(ish) and dark brindle, and it's been ten years - a decade - since we said goodbye to the last largely white greyhounds, but I'm still finding hairs that could only be from them. Here's Phoebe and Zazie, way back then.

Finn & Lili, just over ten years ago. Lili's been gone now for just over 2 years - she made it to 15 & a half. Finn's still here, still chugging along, at fourteen & a half.
Finn is so black in this picture. He isn't all that black anymore!
