Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

My family wants to wish everyone a happy holiday and so we made this silly and fun Christmas video (I get to do lots of singing and dancing!). Just click on the link below and it’ll play for you!

Mannheim Steamroller

Friday, Mom and Dad went to see the Mannheim Steamrollers in Cleveland. They said it was snowy and they had a good time. I wanted to go too, but Dad checked it out and greyhounds are not allowed to go. Not even well-behaved greyhounds like me! The Manheim Steamrollers said that I might get too excited and start singing my roos and ruin their songs that people paid to hear. They don’t have no singers, it’s just music. I guess they don’t want no singers.

Dad played me some of their songs, I like them very much. I dance to some of them, but mostly I tap my paw to the music. It makes it feel like the holidays when you hear their songs. Even if they don’t let me come to their show, I still like them. I give them 3.5 roos.

Am I a cheetah?

When I first moved into my new neighborhood, Dad took me for walk and this boy stopped what he was doing to come see me. I don’t think the boy ever saw a brindle greyhound before because he asked my Dad if I was a cheetah! I could not believe my ears. I am not a cheetah, I am a greyhound!

Cheetahs are very fast too. I never raced a cheetah, but the Google says they are faster than greyhounds. The Google says cheetahs are the fastest animal. Cheetahs look like a big cat. We have some things in common so we can run fast, like a big heart, but they can’t roo like me.

Dad said, “No, this is Sky, and he is a Greyhound.” Dad told the boy he could pet me, and he did for a minute or two and then the boy went back to what he was doing. Dad thought the boy was a nice boy—but laughed because he was silly to think that he was walking a cheetah around the neighborhood. Cheetahs are very dangerous and should not be kept as pets. Dad likes to tell that story to people. I give it 3 roos.

12 Days of Fun

Me and Dad are excited because he don’t have to go to work for the next 12 days. He’s allowed to stay home and he won’t get yelled at. It’s his vacation and then it’s the holiday. I am excited because that means I’ll get to play with Dad and be silly. Dad said we’ll go for lots of walks and play fetch as much as I want. Mom gets to be home some days too, but not all 12 days.

And then I get to spend my first Christmas with my new family. Dad said Mom bought me a present and I get to open it on December 25. What do you think my present is? I think it is a new toy or a big treat or maybe if I was a real good boy, a SUV! I can’t wait.

I wonder what Petey will get? Mom and Dad said he’s been a nice boy letting me move in to his home. I hope he gets a good present. I think he wants a pet rabbit.

I hope everybody has fun the next 12 days and a nice holiday too. 4 roos.

A Christmas Village: Part 2.

There I am doing my thing, meeting folks. I had fun on Friday talking to lots of people. A few folks donated to my vest. Joining me “on stage” was Alexis, who Mr. Jim brought. Alexis is smart and nice and knows her name. She needs a forever home. Ms. Michelle used to take good care of me and brought Macho. Macho is a big boy. I was happy to see both of them. Later I saw Sammy and Jedi. Jedi is little and super cute and she needs a home too. Isn’t Jedi a cool name?

People at the Midway Mall liked me and asked me where I came from. They were surprised that I came all the way from Alabama. Not many people brought me treats, even though I asked for them, but folks were kind anyways. There were lots of Erie Shores greyhounds all weekend. I only was there for two hours on Friday because my mom and dad had to work and do stuff all weekend. Dad was a little sad on Friday, but I am not allowed to tell people why. Maybe next time I’ll be there more. It was still fun and I give it 3 roos.

A Christmas Village

On Friday, I get to go to the Midway Mall with my Mom and my Dad to meet people for the Christmas Village. People can come see me if they want. I am a little shy in public; I try to be on my best behavior. Dad says I have a split personality because at home I am silly and in public I am not. At home I jump around like a baby horse and roo and talk about all kinds of things. I ask for treats and walks—and bark at squirrels. In public, I just stand there, or sometimes I lie down. I don’t say anything. I am just nice to people and hope they will adopt a greyhound. So mark your calendar, Friday, December 7 from 4-6 pm at the Midway Mall in Elyria. Come see me if you want to. Bring treats. It'll be a hoot, 4 roos.
