What I've Been Up To!

Bella

Hello People-who-admire-Salukis,

I have not posted for a while, and I apologize, but I am a busy dog with much to do- it takes a lot of energy looking this dignified and beautiful.

A lot has happened since my last post, including two playdates at Amy's friend's house and meeting the dogs that live there, I've come to the conclusion that I prefer little dogs to big dogs as they are not nearly so intimidating. On my visits I met two big greyhounds, Coco and Elvis, and I couldn't believe how fast they were! It's not every day I come across a canine that can run faster than a Saluki, and I had fun running after them.

I also had a day out to a dog show, which from what I can tell, is some sort of multi-cultural gathering- dogs of all shapes and sizes! Mostly we watched the hound ring, unfortunatley there was only one Saluki in the show, but it was interesting to see so many sighthounds even if the vast majority of them weren't Saluki-beings. I spent some time in one of the Poodle tents whilst sheltering from the pouring rain. I do hate nasty weather, and the wind blowing my ears around. :( There were some good parts of the day, I was able to catch up with my litter sister Precious who was watching the show as well. I was a little shy, but eventually came out to say hello to her. Below is a photo of the two of us.

A few weeks ago, we moved to a new house. There are several really big parks nearby, so I'm really enjoying my walks! There's even an enormous fenced oval that I can use to do zoomies in, it's such fun! You can see here in these pictures how much fun I am happy I am running around-

Here's another picture of me out on a walk, I'd been doing some show practice and mum used a computer program to edit out my show lead.
