CORAL
Coral is an 85 lb. Monster of a gentle guy. Quite the loon, and always up for a little play!
FLO
Flo is a bit smaller than Coral, and a Sweet Girl indeed.
AMY
Amy is an Italian Greyhound. She's beyond elegant, and draws a small crowd of admirers whenever we have her out. She got lost in the woods in Prescott not too long ago, and survived on her own for a month. We got her back, thank God. She's pretty tough!
RANSOM
We call him "Handsome Ransom," and you can see why. He's just plain gorgeous! He was found abandoned here in town and we got the call .... and he proceeded to steal our hearts. He was maybe 10 months old, with no ID whatsoever of any kind. Needless to say, he's microchipped now!
We think he's going to be bigger than Coral.
Most of our canine roommates have been sight hounds. They are intelligent, opinionated and wonderful breeds. We describe them as "cats in a very clever disguise." Live with one for a while, and you'll understand.
MINNIE
top to bottom: Pryderi, Flo and Minnie sharing a bed. Minnie is at the bottom of the picture. We lost her in April of 2010.
CEINWYN
Ceinwyn (pronounced "Kein-wen") was a Saluki. We lost her to old age early in September of 2008. She tended to be very "blonde;" very affectionate, and marched to her own drummer. She liked cats a lot. That's Rumble sharing the warm.
CEILEIDH
This is Ceileidh (pronounced "Kay-lee") our rescue greyhound. She was the most fun dog I have ever been friends with. If you were not fun, she'd MAKE you into fun. Or make fun of you. She's sleeping in her travel crate in this picture, doing her Run-Over-Dog imitation. Her tongue is hanging out the side of her mouth, and when she woke up she tended to forget to put it back in. Looked quite strange.
If you want the best dog in the world, adopt a greyhound. You'll never be sorry. We lost her at age 13 and I miss her.
FALACH
This is Falach, a whippet, (AKA The 900-Mile-An-Hour-Wonder-Dog) in her favorite spot .... under the covers of our bed. She died at age 17, and was a wonderful companion and friend. We miss her terribly.
LARK
Lark was a Borzoi. She was a rescue dog, having been terribly abused. When we got her, she was barely able to stand. Eventually she filled out and was able to enjoy the few years she had with us. We called her the Pointy-Nosed-Flat-Dog.
SEANNA
Seanna (pronounced "Shawna") was my first Irish Wolfhound. She was completely loopy and delighted in being funny. A wonderful dog indeed. She was grey-brindle in color, and learned she could lie down in the middle of the back yard at night and completely disappear. Scared hell out of a lot of neighborhood cats that way.
We'd brush out her coat so she looked nice, and within 24 hours she looked like she does in the picture. We finally gave up. She liked to look scruffy.
CEILDEIGH
Ceildeigh (pronounced "Kell-dee") was my second Irish Wolfhound. Not as much insanity as Seanna, but fun anyhow. A gentle, sweet girl. Here she is with Falach, both looking forlorn, but Falach is plotting something.
Please buy my CDs so I am not thrown into the clutches of evil things like Social Workers and Welfare Hags.
