Winter Woofstock...Are You Coming?

Woofstock

Around the Hounds

Hey, Mommy left for a minute!

I overheard Mommy and Daddy talking about Woofstock! This summer's Woofstock was da best. There was so many people and they just luved me! I even got to meet some of my cousins...the whippets and the Italian greyhounds. There was other types of dogs too...not as cute as me. I think they try too hard. I guess not everyone can be as fashion-forward as me. aroundthehounds.com was there too! She donated 30% of the proceeds to the people who like to be called GINA. Char's Collar designs were so beautiful that Mommy couldn't resist and got me another one. She said that it made me even more handsome. (I know, hard to believe, right!)

With Winter Woofstock on the way, there's a few things I feel that I should share with you, my loyal followers.

Somebody trying too hard!

• There will be lots of smells to explore...not many squirrels though, but lots of smells none the less. 
• Mommys and Daddys will have plenty of opportunity to look around and shop. This will be the perfect opportunity to hit 'em up for new collars or coats. 
• If you're going to be hosting as a greeter, take it from me, I have lots of experience with this, make sure you frisk-down your audience BEFORE you allow them to pet you!

I hear that this time they going to have it at someone's big house that they call the Direct Energy Centre. I guess that Daddy will have to keep me away from the indoor bushes in case there's any ninja squirrels! The people who all like to be called GINA (still really weird) are going to be there. I'm going to help them out by letting people pet me (treats first, of course). If you're so inclined, you should help too. They'd luv the help. There will be plenty of luvin' going around that I'm more than willing to share the luv. We can have fun and smell each others bums!

Me...gettin' the luvin'!

That's it for now...I hear Mommy coming!

GINA's Meet & Greet at Hopedale Mall

Yesterday was a fun day! Mom and Dad took me for a car ride in Oakville, Ontario. We went to this big house that they kept calling Hopedale Mall. The rooms were huge! I don't have nearly enough toys to fill up those rooms.

When Daddy and I went inside, I thought at first that we were still outside. There were holes in the ceiling 'cause I could still see the sky. I assumed Daddy was taking me for a W..A..L..K (they think I don't know), so I was going to mark the nearest bush. Daddy kept saying, "No, Grant, no!" I guess he was just trying to protect me from the ninja-squirrels who would have been waiting to ambush me. My daddy is very brave! I like to hide behind him when things get too scary.

That day, Mommy and Daddy hung out with other men and women who all like to be called Gina. Very strange, if you ask me, but I think they're okay 'cause they pet me and give me treats. They wanted to show the rest of the world how greyt we greys really are. Lots of people wanted to take me home. I wanted to go but Daddy would let me. I'm not sure they were as brave as my daddy, though. It was very fun. There was lots of new people to pet and luv me. They kept saying I was so beautiful. I know!

Shelby, Kallie, Cooper, and Bear were there too! They're fun if not a little mellow for my tastes. Their bums smell good though. People think that we're fast and we are; well, maybe not Bear...he didn't really race. But everyone thinks we need a lot of running and exercise. Geez... How many times did Ben Jonson run when he wasn't in training? All the exercise I need is when I exercise my right to the living room couch for a nap... without the use of steroid enhancement. Don't get me wrong, I need to go for a 15 minute walk every day. I need to smell the roses... and the trees and the next...and the next... and the next...and the.....You get the picture.

I have to go now 'cause I'm really tired. All that attention is so exhausting!



Talk to you soon!
