Good Sunday Morning,

It's a very white Sunday morning here. We had more snow overnight and they are saying more to come this afternoon. Okay now, we have had enough snow for the season....

Our greyhounds had a mini competition last night. It was quite comical from our perspective to watch how this played out....picture this:

Mandy is sound asleep on the couch beside me most of the evening. Both Onyx and Shadow had expressed wishes to join her on the couch at various times throughout the evening, but she would not budge - kept hogging the entire couch.

Shadow decides to give it one more good try; Onyx is sleeping on one of their dog beds near the couch at this time. Onyx sees Shadow making a good attempt to get Mandy to move and let him up. He is just standing in front of her; she is ignoring him.

Onyx sees what Shadow is doing, hops up and moves to stand in between Shadow and the couch. They remain like this for a good 10 minutes. Mandy squirms a little but does not move.

Onyx and Shadow start jockying positions until Shadow is on the inside, closest to the couch. He eventually gets tired of just standing there and starts to climb up in front of Mandy in the tinyest little space that is available (for all of you that have met Shadow, he is NOT a small greyhound...). Mandy growls but still does not move.
Pictures of Mandy, Shadow and Onyx.

Onyx sees Shadow climbing up on the couch and makes his move to climb up at the other end of Mandy. At the same time, Shadow sits on Mandy's head and Onyx sits on Mandys bottom end. She growls and snarls but still does not move, just pulls her head out from under Shadow.

At this point, fearing a major battle, we kick all 3 of them off the couch. Shadow stands indignantly at the end of the couch; Onyx goes and sulks in the bedroom; and Mandy decides she needs to go outside.

The whole event took place in a matter of approx 15 minutes, almost like a show in slow motion. Unbelievably funny! Spoiled greyhound antics are better than watchin T.V. :-)

Have a Greyt Day!
