Glory (Lotta Glory): 1/9 - Wherein we explore Charles' Law of Greyhounds

Jacques Alexandre César Charles was a french dude born in 1746.  Some say he was an inventor, a scientist, a mathematician and, in what can only be described as being a daredevil in his time, a baloonist.  Now, I've scoured the world over for proof, but I also believe he was a Greyhound owner.  Why, you may ask?  Well, he is credited with discovering Charles' Law.  There's a lot to this law, but it is commonly understood to mean that gas will expand to fill all available volume.  Many people believe this was due to his passion for hot-air balooning, but if we look close enough, I believe we may be able to prove that it was due to an unpublished, unverified affinity for Greyhounds!   Stick with me now.  

Exhibit A:  

Here we see Glory.  She is expanding to fill more than one dog bed.  If that's not proof enough that our resident Air-Head (um, Baloonist) Jacques Charles was talking about Greyhounds with his famous discovery, I point to Exhibit B!  Greyhounds are famous for their gas.   There!  Greyhounds have gas and expand to fill all available volume of dog bed space!   Side note:  If you want this adorable little scientist in your home, you better act FAST.  Who knows how big she'll be and how many dog beds she will be able to fill in two weeks.  

Also, this morning, I got to hear her adorable voice this morning!  She sang a salute to the morning when she was reunited with her new best friends Whiskey and Pepper!  What dolcet tones, what a sweet melody!  Oh, rapture, Glory be thy name.

Also, Glory has tripled down on her ability to share!


Pepper, Glory and Whiskey, all taking a bit of snooze together!

So, there you have it.  This sweet, quiet, ever-expanding young lady is looking for a forever home and someone out there is surely going to want to expand their home.  Could it be you?
