Sailing through the winter solstice - boats on Carroll Creek. They’ll be on display until February if you’re in the Frederick, MD area and want to check them out.

Story has had it with restricted activity

TGIF

Back to the vet for a check-up and then a visit with Grandma

Talked to the vet & rescheduled Story’s recheck for Friday. She was very apologetic that the original splint came off and we ended up in the ER. Assured her that I know very well that greyhounds are oddly shaped and hard to fit. #vetmed

Bought a new toy, left it on the counter & forgot. Remembered & went to look for it when I found an excited Beth prancing around with it. I’m sure Archer liberated it for her. He misses nothing.

Hi handsome. Also a kitty condo intruder. In the past week alone he has brought me a pack of furry mice and a tub of catnip.

Intruder alert in the kitty condo

Story is sporting a new splint courtesy of VetUrgency. She’s already feeling better. #dogsofbluesky #vetmed

Well of course her splint came off just after the vet closed for the weekend. It’s not wrapped the way they had it but I think it will hold 🤞

The splint is going to be a challenge ☹️

Good Night Story

Story that is also not your bed

Story I don’t think that’s your bed…

They put purple hearts on Story’s splint 💜 #dogsofbluesky

Well of course I fed her breakfast and gave her meds so now they have to wait a few hours to treat her 🤦‍♀️ #dogsofbluesky

Story - how did you do that again? Back to the vet tomorrow morning for splinting - and of course I can’t get it back in position tonight. #dogsofbluesky

Story survived her dislocated toe & I survived having to pop it back in. Vet said she knew it was common in greyhounds but had never seen it. Sorry we spoiled her chance by having it happen while we were out of town - much rather she fix it than me. #dogsofbluesky

Sitting pretty

A meeting of the minds

Beth is really getting into this thing called “play”

Dog park fun at the cabin

After 3 yrs Beth likes 2 people - me & my mom. Family over for dinner tonight. Normally Beth paces frantically. Tonight she stood calmly between me & mom & watched curiously. Progress!

Good Night Story - and Beth

Story won the Halloween contest at the vet #VetMed

Why are some dogs fearful—or even aggressive—towards strangers? Fear aggression often develops from a mix of factors, including: ✔️ Limited socialization as a puppy ✔️ Aversive training methods ✔️ Past abuse or neglect ✔️ Breed tendencies ✔️ Stressful environments or isolation #dogsofbluesky#dogs#dogs

Beth is a lot happier about sharing than Punky is.

Caught in the act! Good Night Story

Very subtle move Beth

Spa day - Story has more spots than people think.

Who’s the cutest Girl Scout of them all?

Watch out world - look who’s old enough to drive! Happy 16th Birthday Sheyla!

Happy Halloween!

Good Night Bethie Boo

Will work for food

Good Night Story

Three years ago, we adopted Beth — sweet, silly, and scared of people. She’s come so far. Not perfect, but peaceful. Love didn’t fix everything, but it gave her safety. Worth it a thousand times over.

Good Night Beth

This is the life

Time to break out the winter coats

Sheyla went to the vet today for her semi annual senior exam. All good - come back in 6 months. She’s old enough that they don’t fuss about her weight - just weigh her to make sure she hasn’t had an unexpected loss. #MarkedSafeFromUnexpectedWeightLoss

I think Beth is ready to come back inside

Look who really can carry her own toy when she wants to🤦‍♀️. Good night Story

Hey there Bethie Boo ❤️

Good Night Story. You did great today!🇺🇸
