Friday Hound Blogging

The planet makes its seventh spin and we once again release the hounds. Fans of this blog (mad props to you mom!) will recall that this is the day we feature rescued racing greyhounds, who, having failed to please their human overlords have been cast out with only the collar on their necks.

Greyhounds have been much in the news lately (if you happen to live in Florida) because the overlords want citizens to allow them to place slot machines at their tracks The reason for this is no one is coming to the races anymore and they think they can keep their seedy operations going a few more years if they get the slot machines.

This in unfortunate for the dogs who, always an afterthought when not racing, will become even more of a nuisance as money flows to the slot rooms. Slots are a respirator for this brain dead industry. Time to pull the plug. Even the governor knows that.

Vote is March 8. Keep your fingers crossed. Now meet this week's featured hound, EF Eddie Boy:

. 
Eddie is very affectionate, lovable, outgoing, and playful, but not hyper. His foster family has nicknamed him “Mr. Personality”. He's a real lover. He likes to cuddle, lean his body against you, rub his head against you, and give kisses. He enjoys playing with toys. He has an average energy level for a greyhound, but gets excited when people come inside. He settles down well and sleeps most the time. Eddie loves full body massages. He “talks” to you buy crying (when he wants petting or to go out) and he wraps himself around you when he comes inside. He longs for affection.
