Just a few miles up the road from me is the quintessentially English village of Howick, overlooked by the family seat of Earl Grey, the same one that gave his name to that most English sounding of teas.
Together Purina and the Kroger family of stores will donate $150,000 to animal welfare organizations in 2009 and will recognize six exceptional pet lovers’ tales via a national television special this fall. The campaign invites pet lovers to share their favorite pet tales with Purina and Kroger online at www.TalesForThePetLoversHeart.com.
Bringing a dog into the family is no small decision. Dignified and loyal dogs such as Greyhounds and Siberian Huskies will sit by your side no matter what, and don’t require high-energy antics provided that they receive plenty of exercise. If you have a family, you’ll also want to find dogs that are good with kids.
Like when I was a kid and went to the mall with my family (BCP: Before Cell Phones), my parents would say: If we get lost, let's meet in front of the fountain. Tags: Activism Current Affairs Ethics Greyhound Matters. We had a visitor on our walk this morning: a sandhill crane. For the cranes, the meeting spot is the east Village Green.
“Normal” collars– Most dog collars are used to dress up the family pet and to identify it to strangers who may come into contact with the animal. These collars are particularly useful on greyhounds and other dogs with a small head and large neck. Here are the most common types of collars.
No playing with little white dogs, which isn't uncommon for greyhounds. He was 85 pounds (large for a greyhound), very muscular (odd for a greyhound) and spectacularly gorgeous, with Pharaoh Hound-like ears. Far more than a diabetic greyhound. No greyhounds were forced to race in the above photo.
Thanksgiving 2010 will be Baby Sky's first, and our opportunity to introduce her to the notion that our family doesn't eat animals (not to mention that other historical story we'll be correcting). There will be no greyhound corpse on our table, no turkey corpse and no pig corpse. But we can bring our story to that world.
And I received confirmation of something I've known since 2004, when we adopted retired racing greyhound, Violet Rays: That there's sort of a critical period for dog-behavior acquisition, and if it's missed, the dog isn't likely to mature into the type of loving being whose behavior we've come to associate with "pet" dogs.
Essentially, industrialized farming=soulless, small family farm=soulful. Food for my soul does not involve grilled greyhound any more than it involves grilled chicken. The animals were still bred and raised for slaughter, but evidently in some kind of soulful way we don't really hear about. on my schedule and for my palate.
Would I ever say I restrict my diet to food that wasn't made from the parts of creatures as sentient as the greyhounds I share my home with? The kids prepared Buddhist delight that "conformed to Buddhist dietary restrictions." Something about the word "restrictions" annoys me. I don't think of that as a restriction. One is male.
On a very quiet night during a lull in the drama of the ducks, I was researching the Greyhound racing industry, and seething over its treatment of dogs as well as the support it often gets, through subsidies, to help it survive. Being home alone for the weekend made me particularly susceptible to being startled by strange noises.
Violet's a member of our family. but a friend who volunteers for a rescue group told me of a greyhound event around the corner from my house. If Violet can be said to love anyone, it's other greyhounds. There were 15 greyhounds in the small pet food store, and Violet and Stanley were equally uninterested in the event.
The only one I had ever seen before had barely escaped being hit by the Greyhound Bus I had been travelling from Darwin to Perth on a decade previously. If I had more time I could have hiked around to find one of the star attractions, Gouldian Finches , but I had gone there mainly to find two of my target families, storks and cranes.
On Friday, June 25, I received a call from an attorney who said a little girl was born the evening prior, her adoption fell through and she needed a family. I chose a cow for Sky's first stuffed animal, and I hope that she will grow up to honor and respect the lives of cows the same way she will honor and respect the lives of greyhounds.
