On this page, you will find links to those hounds that are gracing our home.
Our dogs keep themselves fit by running and playing on our fenced property. They have a spacious kennel in which to hide from the elements, when the weather turns nasty, as it can out here. In fact, a popular saying in New Mexico is if you don't like the weather, wait 20 minutes and it will change. There was a day not too long ago, where that did, in fact, occur and we got snow... a lot of it!
While snow isn't unusual here in the Edgewood vicinity, getting 28" of it in one storm is a bit odd. Gives new meaning to the old classic song, "Let It Snow... Let It Snow.... Let It Snow!" The really neat thing about snow out here is that in three days, it is usually gone. For the most part, it evaporates! Rain, however, leaves everything a muddy mess. When the mud hardens, it turns into another life form and it never leaves where ever it was deposited. I now know why they make bricks out of it.
Some people think that greyhounds cannot tolerate the snow and cold weather. This is a myth! Greyhounds grow a really thick, plush coat, when they live in cold weather areas. The coat feels like ermine. Below are a couple of pictures of our hounds playing in the snow.
 
As you can see, greyhounds really like the snow! |
