Dog Dude Ranch event cancelled

Dog Dude Ranch logo
Spreading the word that today's scheduled Friends of Greyhounds event at Dog Dude Ranch has been cancelled. The weather in Miami has been horrible this morning and isn't expected to get any better for awhile.

Michelle is trying to find a suitable venue for a gathering indoors. Please contact her through friendsofgreyhounds.org or drop Dusty and me a note at scott@dustyandme.com or in the comments section below if you can provide a lead.

See you when we see you.

Einstein has a home

Image
Einstein hanging out in the FoG backyard ---------- Einstein, one of the 2-year-old boys who landed at Friends of Greyhounds last week, already has found a home. He plans to head to his condo in Miami-Dade County in a couple of weeks. Einstein will get his vet workup next week at Animal Hospital of University Drive and will start his domestic life when his new mom returns home from an out-of-town trip a few days later. BJ in the FoG backyard ---------- In the meantime, kennel mates BJ and Fella are taking a visit in the kennels Wednesday evening. While we're waiting to hear if that turns into anything, let's catch up on a couple of other friends we've heard from in the past few days. Happy birthday, Luna: She turned 5, so Dawn, Lily and Rose threw her a party in the backyard. ---------- Mark dropped us a video the other day from Ocala, where brothers Jagger and Facebook love running together in their backyard: Officer Rick dropped some more photos of Kango in action.

Molly joins the gang as BJ finds a home

Image
Molly on her first full day at Friends of Greyhounds ---------- One fawn comes in as another one is on its way out at Friends of Greyhounds. Molly, racing name Molly Ringwald, came into the FoG kennels Sunday by way of the Florida Kennels compound in Hialeah. She's another 2-year-old who joins the gang after a short racing career. Molly is a friendly little girl. I met her for the first time Monday at the Sunrise kennels. She seemed happy to greet me and was thrilled when I walked out into the yard with her. But her first reaction seemed to be to retreat whenever I would move toward her with my phone as I tried to get a photo. After a couple of minutes, however, she decided to take a seat on the ground. Once she did that, she did let me approach for a photo, though she still wasn't quite sure what was happening. BJ ---------- It might have been more confusion than fear or timidity that was causing her to back away. In any case, she was happy to have my company and appeared to b...

Einstein gets a nice view in his new home

Image
Einstein marveling at the view from his new home ---------- A couple of quick turnarounds in the Friends of Greyhounds kennels: Einstein has found his way into a beachside condo in Pompano Beach, and Gabby is on her way to Coral Gables to take up residence with our old friend Kal. Einstein, the 2-year-old white and brindle boy who retired earlier this month, landed in his first home yesterday. Cathleen claimed him about a week after he arrived at Friends of Greyhounds, but Einstein hung out in Sunrise for awhile waiting for his new mom to return home from a business trip. Gabby on her last full day at FoG ---------- Michelle and I delivered him to Cathleen on Friday afternoon. Einstein now has a breathtaking view from his condo on the 18th floor. Michelle was scheduled to deliver Gabby to Rhonda and Eddie on Saturday afternoon. The compact dark-brindle girl was in Sunrise for less than a week. Chris the Kennel Guy handed her over to FoG on Monday afternoon. Rhonda met her in Sunrise on...

Senior girl Sly finds a great family

Image
Sky, right, and Noel in their first photo as sisters ---------- That photogenic old girl Sly didn't stay too long in the Friends of Greyhounds kennels. She moved into her new home Saturday, less than three weeks after arriving in Sunrise. The family on their first walk together ---------- The skinny 11-year-old landed in Deerfield Beach with Alan and Joan and 5-year-old brindle girl Noel. Michelle and I took Sly to meet the family Thursday. Sly went back to Sunrise for a Friday visit with Dr. Ansara's staff before returning to her new home for good. Alan and Joan gave her a new name, Sky. She's officially a foster instead of an adoption, as Michelle recommended, so that FoG can more easily help with medical issues that could arise. The staff at Animal Hospital of University Drive  did give her a clean bill of health. She is taking a couple of meds to fight off some hookworms and to boost her appetite and put on a few pounds. Sky is at least the third greyhound FoG has plac...

Charlie rocks his CISM presentation

Charlie and Shawn give a talk about his role in the department. ---------- Charlie knocked it out of the park in his first official task with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue. Shawn dropped an email and a few photos to tell us that Charlie was a big hit in a presentation to the department's Critical Incident Stress Management team. Team leader Mario designated Charlie as the group's official therapy dog and told Shawn that he will be featured on the cover of its new brochure. Charlie is kicking off a department pilot program for therapy dogs. Shawn promised to keep the updates coming. The Miami-Dade Fire Rescue CISM team
