Saffy and Dave. Two black greyhounds trying to make sense of the world, spreading love and causing mayhem. #SkyHounds Following in the footsteps of the late, great, Honey Greyhound.
Mum: I've booked a new enclosed dog field. It has a grassy meadow to run in and forest trails to explore. How lovely! 😊
Us: We've forgotten how to greyhound. We're swamp dogs now. We're just gonna spend the whole hour doing this. 🤣🤣🤣

Saffy: Two years ago today mum signed my adoption papers and I reluctantly accepted that I was here for good. However, whilst I may live with peasants I firmly believe that I am not one by birth. Somewhere out there a royal family is searching for their missing princess. 😢

Dave: What a wonderful day for late afternoon blighter spotting! I had my excited ears on! 😃
Saffy: We were forced to walk for miles. It was grim. Dave spotted a rabbit and lost his tiny mind. 🙄

Happy #FlapsOutFriday! Apparently it's been a heck of a week. Mum is now unemployed/retired. She's celebrating the fact that she'll now be able to start drinking at lunchtime! We're hoping she'll pull herself together, work out what her skill-set is, and do some kibble earning before we all starve!

Mum is wondering where the years went. Teenage Manchild (AKA Short One) needs a new name, because today is his 20th birthday. His teens have officially expired. Happy birthday! We love you. ❤️

Saffy: Today on Holidays from Hell, two greyhounds were crammed into a wooden box being dragged by a fire breathing death monster. They ended the day by being forced to go for a walk on a beach. Horrible.
Dave: Oh my dog! My first ever train ride. Woo hoo! I loved it! Yay! Beach! Best day ever!

Saffy: I found a thing! I was so fascinated by it that I completely forgot I don't do paddling. 😁

Saffy: Today we went for a very long walk at a place called a nature reserve. It was grim, more bootcamp than holibobs. ☹️
Dave: It was awesome! I loved every minute. 😊

What a day! Holidays are exhausting! We started the day with a long walk around a battlefield. There were sheep, but eating sheep poo was a hard no. Pfft! Then we visited some old ruins. Sooo boring! We ended the day at a beach. It was beautiful, just like us. 😊

Saffy: Lazy Sunday, but no peace. The big idiot is loving the view from the upstairs lounge window. He's on watch for passing dogs and yelps with excitement every time he sees one. 🙄

Saffy: It's my birthday! I'm 5 years old. I got a fabulous present and I'm having lamb and peas for tea, with sausage embellishments. 😊 Hang on! Why is there no cake?
Dave: Ah, well... I think mum forgot about safe storage being required for birthday cakes. It was delicious! 😋 Happy birthday! 🤣🤣🤣

Dave: Winner winner chicken dinner! It has been a wonderful day of adventures and fabulous food. I'm full, exhausted and so so happy.
Saffy: Meh. It's been an okay kind of day.

Dave: I feel like the king of the world. We found a new enclosed dog field. It's huge! So much space to zoom. What fun! 😊 Somewhere, way off in in the distance behind me, the Princess of Darkness is busy hunting. While I run and run, she's permanently in stealth mode - or just plain lazy!

Dave: I'm on the big bed, waiting for snuggles. I've had a long walk, and a wonderful dinner of rabbit and kibble, with liver brownies for pudding. Life is good! 😊
Saffy: You're easily pleased - because you have a very small brain. 🤭 Service has been acceptable today, but not exactly five star. 🙄

Dave: I'm feeling fed up. There are so many rules and none of them make sense. Today I got a special thing. I had to scarf it down as quickly as possible, before it was confiscated. This was, "Arrgh! NO! 🤢 VERY BAD DOG!". Apparently, catching and eating baby pigeons is against the rules. Who knew? 😕

Heatwave tips for greyhounds:
Dave - have a long snooze in a darkened room, with a fan cooling your bottom. 😊
Saffy- lie on the brown lawn in the baking heat, frying your brain until they force you to move. Resist the application of the damp tea towel of misery. Whine to go outside again. 😂🌞

Today Dave is "Big idiot Dave!", not "Good boy Dave". Yesterday he ran into the back of mum's legs and felled her. She hurt a knee, an arm and an ankle. Then, as she was trying to get up, she got stung by a bee! Her bruised knee is very swollen and she's struggling to walk. Excellent work Dave! 🤣

Ugh! It's a no walkies, shady room, fan to maximum, cool coat kind of day. We are very fed up! ☹️

Saffy literally straining at the leash waiting for the pointy walk to start. Dave being "Good boy Dave!". Dogs reacted to - 0. Shih Tzus eaten - 0. So proud of him. Although we suspect his one brain cell is part of a timeshare arrangement so he'll probably be back to his usual idiot self tomorrow. 😂

Hello! 🐾🐾 It's me, Dave. Today is my first gotcha day. What a year I've had. I've learnt about birthdays, Christmas, big beds, sofas, knitwear, baths (not recommended), roast dinners (definitely recommended) and so much more. Mum says that there are many more adventures ahead. I love my life! ❤️
