We have scheduled the Doggie Spa days for May, July and September, it should be warmer then. Remember that you can get a nail clip card and the sixth nail trim is free. This can add up fast if you like me have more then one greyhound. Looking forward to see you on Saturday from 10-1 at Phoenix Greyhound Park. Greyhounds only please.

This beast (sub-human as far as I'm concerned) is contacting people to buy dogs to be used as BAIT for training pit bulls to fight. The woman who forwarded it to me has worked extensively with the rescue and rehabilitation of pit bulls. While they're certainly not a breed for everyone, no animal deserves to live the kind of life this horrid act leads to - as a bait dog, or a fighting dog. It's too barbaric for words, as far as I'm concerned. Forgive me if this is redundant information for anyone. Just be wary of anyone contacting you. And this is on Craig's list!! We are contacting Craig's List to have him removed and to help them monitor, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to have others contact them as well, and to keep a lookout in your respective areas for ads like this.

Yes, this auction is ending on a MONDAY rather than a TUESDAY, as many of you are used to. Due to popular demand, I've had to add more auctions to my schedule, so auctions this year will end on either Mondays or Wednesdays, depending on their starting day (Tuesday or Thursday). Hopefully, we'll all get used to it eventually. ;) -- Carpe Canem - http://www.CarpeCanem.com/ Sergei's Blog - http://sergeifluffytail.wordpress.com/ The Greytheist's Blog - http://greytheist.wordpress.com Greyhounds of Fairhaven - http://www.GreyhoundsOfFairhaven.org/ "Life is but a momentary glimpse of the wonder of this astonishing universe, and it is sad to see so many dreaming it away on spiritual fantasy." -Carl Sagan .
