A ball. Sure, I know what to do with a ball.

Weekend plans

Good night Story

@chugsand2poops.bsky.social This emergency situation requires immediate attention. Apologies for interrupting your weekend but let’s set up a conference call with our client 1st thing tomorrow morning.

I am in SHACKLES due to an incident yesterday where me & my fren Ayla ripped our leads out of our mum’s hands & started doing zoomies & then Derek escaped too & we thundered down the main road & into the national park & got captured by joggers & perpwalked back to our mums & yeh Im in shackles now.

@fredandposy.bsky.social how is Otis and Barry the bin chicken?

“Don’t take my picture. I don’t want people to know I was giving you love eyes.” 🤭

The very very scary dried old hydrangea bloom that terrified Juju this morning. She stopped 10 ft from it and approached it slowly, warily, ready to pounce but fearful at the same time. #greyhounds #sighthounds #dogsofbluesky #hydrangeaalert

Morning Bluesky. We can't stop here -- it's cat country.

Mom lady has returned home and all is right again. ❤️😊

Belly to the sky!

We lost Finley unexpectedly this afternoon. We’re heartbroken and will miss him so much. Run free, you crazy, stubborn, awesome hound. You were the best boy. ❤️🌈

Th hoos haz been up for 2 hrs (so we’re told) but why? We iz sleeping in 💤🐾💤🐾 xxx

In the darkness there is always the Baba. #greyhounds #sighthounds #dogsofbluesky

Good morrow kind innkeeper. Do you have a spare room for two bedraggled travellers who have been cast out in the rain, all alone?

It was me that done broke the twotter machine i aint sorry

What world? Nope, don't want any of it. Nope. Thanks, but nope. #greyhounds #sighthounds #dogsofbluesky #catsofbluesky

Today at Crufts I met a lady who’d lost hoos & dogs in her life recently & wanted someone to love. I let her take me for a walk & she is now smitten. She had tears of joy walking me.

No conclusions are to be drawn from this

Someone got bitten by a shark at the beach down the road, Elder Teen is waiting for the cyclone to hit her but just got evacuated from her building due to a fire. Lucky for some, but for us the grind never ends. #FlapsOutFriday

Mums treasures #crufts - the coat is for little brother luckily 🙄😅 and she told us on the phone that there were some were nice ladies at the #greyhoundtrust stand ❤️

Do any of my hound friends here have any experience of laryngeal paralysis? My breathing hasn't been right for a few days and the vet suspects I have this. 😔 Humans are worried.

A: Erm, excuse me? I'm laying here for one reason only and that's the continued ear scritches - did I say you could stop? 👀 #SkyHounds

Mum is off to somewhere far away... #crufts or something? (and maybe finally a raincoat for little brother?) 🤔 but we have to support grandma! Duties! As seen here - professional loneliness fighters! 🐕❤️

Bedtime shenanigans for me Amy xxx

She dropped her treat on the floor 🤭 (I obviously helped with the retrieval)

My debut Bluesky #flapsoutfriday

Hunter, back and front. Nice curl action on the tail, with cuteness on the front end. #greyhound

Hunter with his nightly snack. Husband gets A+ for presentation.

There were deer on my morning walk! Behold as my ferocious prey instinct kicks in and I… kinda trot a bit faster. And have a bit of a tail wag. I may have harrumphed too. Look, it was a bit early for proper hounding. Can't go chasing things till you've properly warmed up. And maybe had breakfast..

So pals...how many names do you have? I'm officially Pearl but am regularly called: 1. Pearly 2. Pearlypops 3. Pearlywhirly 4. Houndie 5. Houndiechops 6. Houndmeister General 7. Pearlmeister General 8. POFL (Perfection on four legs) 9. POFL Chops 10. Poppet 11. Poppadom Cont. 👇

Martyrdom. Her walk is late…and don’t I know it.

Every day I calculate the exact time a strip of sunshine will come through the window and onto this comfortable mat. Then I sit. 😁☀️

#diadelgalgo and mum thinks a lot about little brother 💔 how he came to us 6 months ago, how he is today - the way he has been hurt and neglected he will never be a "normal" dog, that has been taken from him... they left him with limited abilities ---> #freethegalgo #worldgalgoday

Little brother being very brave on the #galgowalk yesterday in Zürich! 😃 I remained at home, since I get all grumpy and whiny in the cold 😏🧓 Mum was happy to be there, but 💔, too - so much helpless suffering and pain... #freethegalgo #diadelgalgo

Hounds of hunger #greyhounds #sighthounds #dogsofbluesky

Think of galgos in Spain today. Think of them every day. Read. Spread awareness. Donate. Foster. Adopt. fundacionbm.com/en/ galgosdelsol.org#skip #freethegalgo #diadelgalgo #worldgalgoday

This is the film I beat the drum for while Yeray was finishing it. Please watch. It is very moving and poetic, and there is no need for a trigger warning. It is a beautiful film. #freethegalgo #diadelgalgo #worldgalgoday #galgo #sighthounds m.youtube.com/watch?v=jLGC...

A friend of mine from our adoption group posted a video on FB this morning of her trip to the killing fields near Toledo. It was absolutely brutal to see. But it was necessary. We cannot turn away!!! If we don't see the horrors, the dogs suffer and perish. #diadelgalgo #freethegalgo #worldgalgoday

Spanish hunting dogs, the galgo and the many kinds of podenco, were purposely excluded from the laws Spain passed a couple of years ago guaranteeing animal welfare. They are considered livestock. #freethegalgo #diadelgalgo #worldgalgoday #galgo #galgos #sighthounds

#freethegalgo #diadelgalgo #worldgalgoday #galgo Be a voice for the voiceless!

Now begins the time for Spanish hunting dogs to endure a season of torture. The "unsuccessful" dogs are hung from trees, dropped into wells, tortured to death, abandoned on the streets, drowned, and worse. Spain's animal protection laws exclude the galgo! #freethegalgo #diadelgalgo #worldgalgoday

#freethegalgo #diadelgalgo #worldgalgoday

A candle flickers for Blue's extended family today. 🕯️ #WorldGalgoDay marks the end of Spain's hunting season, and the beginning of the mass abandonment & killing of unwanted hunting dogs. Please, light a candle tonight for the gentle long dogs of Spain 💙 #diadelgalgo #freethegalgo

As we move into the Day of the Galgo, please remember the horror these beautiful dogs endure in Spain. Goodnight, Bluesky! #freethegalgo #diadelgalgo #galgo #sighthounds
