It was a pretty laid back week and weekend at our house, which was nice for a change. The highlight of our weekend was the annual Rescued Racers Greyhound Festival on Sunday McDonnell Park.
Couldn't have asked for better weather, about 82 with a breeze. About 200 hounds and their families came out to the park and enjoyed lots of activities. With that many dogs you'd expect it to be total chaos, but Greyhound's don't bark so it was pretty cool.
Dream's picture was one of the more prominent ones on a quilt of adopted hounds, so we felt like it was our duty to bid. The quilt went for $400, a little out of our league, but Roger landed us a framed picture/poster of a dog that looks like D in a racing red silk (#1 of course) that says something about looking for a place to call home. I won and got a steal on a case of honey rasperberry ale on the silent auction. You can see where our priorities are :).
We know everyone's seen Dream, at least in pictures. The dog in the picture, Jewel, is one of the three puppies adopted out by our group. Sooo cute!!
