A Sublimely Serene Saturday Morning Moment . . . . . . .

The youngest of our two greyhounds, Beauregard (yes, we actually consulted the baby name books prior to naming Beau, and picked this name because it means "handsome" or "beautiful to regard"), just turned 2 in July.  Although we've been greyhound adopters since 1997, we've never had a greyhound this young.  And he's been a handful. . . . . I've read that greyhounds mature a bit more slowly than other breeds, and are still considered puppies until the age of 3 years!


And true to puppy form, Beau does EVERYTHING with enthusiasm and vigor. . . . somewhat to the dismay of our eight year-old greyhound, Harley.


But occasionally, I'm able to catch Beau in a moment of repose.  And here he is, taking a rest after a hearty run, chew and play session with his (and Harley's) nylabones. . . . . .
