Gene loves looking out the front window. Yes, he’s resting his chin on the back of the couch. This pose looks every bit as cute from the
outside.

This is Gene’s butt disappearing into the dogs’ digging hole.

Here’s Stan in that hole. How do I know it’s Stan?.......

...because Stan has the purple collar.

This cute doggie couch was donated for our reunion, but was given to us for our Whippets because, as you can see, it’s too small for greyhounds. 

Stan is much more relaxed here now. Described as very shy, he routinely roos at his people to go out, for meals, or just because it’s fun, and he regularly seeks out attention and petting and rests his chin on our arms, etc. He’s still more comfortable with women than men, but that isn’t unusual for shy dogs.  

And here’s Teddy, our 5 month-old IG puppy. Ted’s the product of an accidental litter. 

Here they are in November of 2007. Upside down is still one of Gene’s very favorite positions, though he usually prefers to be that way on the couch. Stan never gets on the couch - he’s a chair dog, preferably my recliner.

Pat took this cool picture.

Here’s Gene, wearing the latest in canine fashion - a puppy necklace!

At left, from top to bottom, we have Robin, Teddy and Pearl. Below is Triss, the lovely Borzoi diva. 

Gene and Stan have learned that with a lot of dogs, there are a lot of losses - we’ve lost Blue, Tasha and Nick since the Beaver Brothers came to us. Everybody loved Nick -

but he and Music were especially close. Music has seen the loss of 6 dogs in the 2 years he’s been part of our family.
