He had brought his two girls, Kali and Zuni, with him this year as he had the year previous. He always takes time to run with his girls on the beach. But when he goes for his runs alone we watch his girls for him. They are not pleased to be left behind, but they are no trouble. They settle in and patiently wait for him to return.
On Sunday it drizzled off-and-on for most of the morning, which put a little damper on things after the two bright, sunny days we had had on Friday and Saturday. But PJ went for his planned run south from Dewey Beach towards Indian River Inlet and beyond anyway. His girls followed him down the stairs and, after he left, lingered by the front door for awhile, waiting and watching.
I saw the girls from the top of the stairs and snapped a quick picture -- just because Greyhound ears amuse me to no end.

Ha ha that is brill. Have a fabulous Friday.

That's awesome! Love the ears!!
ReplyDeletewhen you get your houndie, you'll be forever amused. maybe you'll end up with one whose ears look like they're blowing in the wind.
DeleteGuess they were looking and listening for their daddy. Love greyhound ears too.
ReplyDeletetheir ears are extra pointy, which befits them because they're two of the pointiest greys i know.
DeleteI love the way you say that..."just because Greyhound ears amuse me to no end." Me too.
ReplyDeletewhen i walk sadie and katie i catch myself watching what their ears are doing at any given moment. it's a good indicator of what they're feeling.
DeleteI would have to agree about greyhound ears. But I think greyhound behinds are even funnier.
ReplyDeletei haven't made it a point to photograph their badonkadonks. maybe that can be a project in the future.
DeleteI love Greyhound ear language! I'm sure I could write a book about it if I just had enough time to study it and photographically document it all. One of my personal favorites is the Flying Nun position, which Blueberry does quite well. And Hat Ears is another personal favorite, but I haven't had a hound of my own that does that yet.
ReplyDeletei was watching sadie's ears again during their morning walk. they would flip up, then go to half-mast, then she'd pin them back, then bring one forward...on and on.
DeleteGreyhound ears are like human fingerprints ... no two are alike.
ReplyDeletearen't they, though. they are amazing and funny.
