Animal Wednesday: Stuffing Ourselves




This is my friend's Italian Greyhound, Tay. (Mateo) She had this red ball that she loved more than anything else. When it became nothing but a flattened piece of rubber it became a choking hazard and had to be taken away. Do you think any of us could come up with a ball even close to the specialness of that one? We never did. Luckily a move to a new home took her mind off the ball and her one-toy obsession was a thing of the past.


I chose her as my Animal Wednesday model today because of the way that ball is stuffed in her mouth, reminding me of all the people who'll be overindulging tomorrow! I'll also be having Thanksgiving at her house trying to avoid her big, brown pleading eyes. No Tay, go lie down. I may have to tell her to go find 'red ball' so we can eat in peace :)


HAW to all of you, and blessings to my friends who will be celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow!

  6. Grayhounds are the best walking dogs. And they have a really nice disposition. At least the ones I've seen.

  9. That dog is so cute! I think she knew that the red was a good color combination with her shiny coat!

    I hope you are getting re-energized by your sweet little pup Emma and she is giving you lots of extra attention, you have had quite a run of animal emergencies with clients animals lately, I have to believe it must be hard on your emotions.

    Hugs

  11. I'm so sad she lost her favorite toy to the trash. Isn't it funny how they know the word "ball"? Sully does too. Hope your holiday was filled with blessings.
