Eyes (Dyin Eyes): 12/11 - Blankets, Sensitive Toes, and a Status Change!

Hi again everybody!! It's me, Eyes, here to wish you a happy weekend! Right, let's get down to the important stuff you came to see, shall we??

Goodness gracious, has it ever gotten COLD out. You have to remember, I'm an Alabama dog - and us southern boys aren't used to this ridiculous freezing weather. Coats? Blankets? Pajamas - seriously people?

Seriously? It's even too cold for the ducks 🙄

If you've been watching the GEGR facebook page, you've been seeing lots of greyhounds and their blankets lately. And I'm not immune - if you've been checking out my posts, you've seen me pretty covered up with blankies, too.

Comfy blankies for only $10 at one of those membership discount stores!

Right, cuteness alert - I have sensitive toes! Since it has turned so cold out, I don't like walking on really rough sidewalks on my daily excursions. But being the genius dog that I am, I have found a solution. I walk in the gutter for a bit to avoid the sidewalk, then I walk a balance beam on the curb for a portion, then it's safe to walk on the sidewalk again! Am I smart or what?

And big news! If you go to the "Available Dogs" section of the GEGR website? You will likely notice that my portrait is now taking up new real estate in the Pending Adoptions section!! That's right - I'm getting adopted! Isn't that awesome? I'm so excited: I'd like to begin by thanking the academy, and my family who have always been so supportive... wait - wrong speech.

So here's my suggestion for you - go to the Available Dogs page on the website and find one of those awesome pups who is still looking for a home. I bet if you check out their blogs you'll find some super cute pictures that will melt your heart 💖.

All-righty then, time for me to go. I haven't napped in the last 10 minutes or so... Okay fine, one last cute picture before I go.
I have mentioned before that me and my Kitty toy have a special relationship.

Love and snoozy weekends,
Eyes
