Rain, rain, go away…

by IggyGirl on August 3, 2010

Yesterday we took the dogs out on their walk.  Everything went pretty normal until it began to pour down rain.  Strider liked the rain and ran and played joyfully.  Pippin, on the other hand, made a beeline for the nearest shelter.  “No, no stupid humans!  Get out of the rain!”  Instead of following his advice, we went straight home.  It was a bedraggled, soaked, and cold little Italian Greyhound that I dried off at the house…  No, he was not too happy about it.  “I told you!”

Lover of Grossness

by IggyGirl on July 10, 2010

Yesterday I took Pip on a walk and we stopped in the park for a little while.  I was talking to someone and happened to turn around to look at Pippin.  He had something in his mouth that I at first thought was a flattened pine cone.  He loves pine cones and can play with one for a long time.  However, a closer look told a different story.  It was a flattened, crunchy, small dead bird.  EEWWWWWW!  When I tried to take it from him he complained loudly.  But, I managed it anyway and dropped it on the ground with a shudder- and Pippin swooped for it again.  Grabbing for him I somehow caught him by the scruff of his neck.  He shrieked with a cry of anger and I dragged a very peeved little Italian Greyhound away…

Music Critic?

July 3, 2010

I guess he liked this music… Pippin loves music. His favorite group seems to Celtic Women.  He gets dreamy eyed and quiet when he listens to them, and often falls asleep.  He also likes BarlowGirl, especially “For the Beauty of the Earth”.  His tastes seem to be breathy woman’s vocals. A while back, I clicked [...]

We got Pippin’s Prizes!!

June 30, 2010

They’re here!  So my sister and I shot a quick video of the opening of the bag.  Unfortunately, somehow we didn’t catch the very first few seconds of opening the bag, so you don’t get to see Pippin racing onto the scene, and he enters with one of his prizes already tied around his neck…  [...]

He’s a Winner!

June 19, 2010

Pippin entered a monthly contest on IGwhispers last month, with this wallpaper I made of him playing at the park (you probably saw the original picture in the video I put together in this post).  And Pippin won!  First place! He won a hoodie, and two bandannas.  Just for being cute!  When we get them, [...]

“I want some Vitamins!”

May 8, 2010

In this house we’re living in, storage is quite an issue.  As a result, Pippin’s things have been placed in a backpack to keep them together.  His sweaters are in there, along with his nail trimmers and his blankies (yes, he has several) and also his vitamins.  Pippin thinks his vitamins are treats, kinda like [...]

Cluster Seizures!

May 2, 2010

I’ve been putting this off because I didn’t want to relive this experience.  But, I really need to write about it here.  So, here goes: Sunday the 18 we went to an Italian Greyhound playdate.  There were so many Iggies there!  Most were rescues, and they all ran free and played and played with each [...]

Actually, I think he wants me to take him out now… OK, now we’re back from the walk.  And Pippin is now very happy.  Plus I [...]

“I <3 Hotels!”

March 2, 2010

This weekend, we went to another town and stayed in the hotel for several days. Now Pippin loves trips.  He loves to sleep in my lap while we drive, look out the window when we stop, wait for us in the car when we get out, and most especially, he loves hotel rooms.  I don’t [...]
