Do you ever have that feeling of having such a huge TO DO list that all you want to do is crawl under the covers and read a good book all day?

Pets feel the same way too, sometimes.

I had an amazing day yesterday – working with 23 Greyhounds just off the track. I will be posting photos and the “rest of the story” this weekend…

Barnie was, for once, minding his own business. He wasn’t pestering the dogs or dashing underfoot. He looked so cute watching the world go by that I grabbed the camera. He was enjoying his time in the limelight. After all, the dogs already had their modeling session.

Had the spotlight all to himself. Until his buddies showed up.

The dogs just HAD to see what was up. And thus Barnie’s modeling session was cut short.

I am not one to dress up my pets.  Unless, of course, it is for safety – like a life vest or reflective gear to be seen on walks. Greyhounds are an exception, especially in the cold climate that I live in. After adopting Argos, all of a sudden pet clothes were a safety item. And… I have to say, lots of fun to compare and shop for. Who knew?

I remember looking all over for a decent coat for Lotsie, the Greyhound I adopted 20 years ago. We had to settle for a much more frumpy version to keep her warm in winter. She didn’t mind, but still. Now Greyhound apparel is stylin’!

Check out Argos’ new clothes.  Sophie got a new collar last fall and a new ID tag, too. But that is it for her “clothes.” She insisted on being part of this photo shoot though.

Sophie offers modeling tips to Argos

Swirly martingale collar

Putting the coat on

The coat is cool. It is lightweight, water resistant. Lay it over the back, and the panel slips between the front legs to buckle over the back. Easy!

Nice coat buckle! Extra points for reflector part.

Argos modeling the hood. It can be rolled down if you don't need it. I love the swirls!

Sophie remembers that some mail packages are really yummy.

Argos is more interested in looking out the window.

Sophie says... patience, grasshopper

At this point, Argos discovers something yummy. Unfortunately, it was the biodegradable packing peanuts. Stop photo shoot to fix this problem.

Argos should take a cue from the master, Sophie.

Observe. This is how it is done.

Hard as I tried, I could not get a photo of the cookie anywhere near Argos. We are working on manners.

Yum! That was fun. Can we do it again?

The first round of Hounds 4 Haiti auctions is ending tomorrow, January 26th. The auctions for the 4 handmade glass beads that I donated will end between 8 and 9 am Pacific Standard Time.

So far, a great response by the pet peeps! Thanks to all who donated, bid, and of course … DrV of pawcurious who put it all together.
