What greyhounds do on vacation

So what do greyhounds do while their humans go to the winter Olympics?  Run around a huge rural backyard, play with other hounds--and get in trouble.

 

See those stitches?  Turns out that Logo was chasing another dog through the yard (of course) and cut herself on a piece of wood.  She needed several stitches, but is none the worse for the wear.  Poor Harry though, he was pretty stressed by the whole experience.  He's a very sensitive dog.

Logo is NOT a sensitive dog.  She's the worst patient ever.  She's been aggravating her stitches, and since greyhounds can't wear cones (their heads are smaller than their necks so they just slide right off) we've had to be creative.  Logo is not amused.


Turns out that Logo doesn't like wearing clothes.  When forced to walk in her shirt she'd walk all stiff-legged, as if it was attacking her.  We then came up with the emo solution:


 

Poor Logo.  A slave to fashion.

Er, I was thinking she looked more like an emo dog with her striped arm warmer.

Poor baby--I hope she got a present for being such a brave dog!

We put sweatshirts and socks on our dogs just to torture them and watch them walk funny. Also, Bella has been known to wear Haley's shoes.

We tried wrapping her arm but she literally refused to move, just stood there frozen. The sleeve isn't much better--she refuses to go up or down stairs in it.

Oh, the trials of being a greyhound.
