Friday Hound Blogging

And what a week it's been for the fastest dog on the planet. The overlords scratched out a partial victory in Florida, but now face more problems in New Hampshire, due to the fact that, apparently the track uses the same company to do background checks on employees that the White House uses to approve credentials for reporters.

Elsewhere Arkansas (Motto: We're like Florida, only without the old people) passed a bill to allow expansion of electronic games at dog tracks. "The bill would not allow games of pure chance, such as slot machines, but only games where some skill and analysis is involved." Like analyzing if you've got enough money left to pay the rent, or if you can go one more round before your wife finds out where you are.

But it is Friday and time to find a home for another rescued racing greyhound, who was lucky enough not to be born in Florida or Arkansas. Meet UBet Da Steelers:


. 
Steeler is very loving and affectionate. He loves to cuddle and will turn to putty in your hands when he is petted. He chatters his teeth when he gets excited. He is curious, intelligent, and happy; his tail always wags. He is playful and enjoys playing with toys. He loves looking out the window. He is definitely enjoying retirement life and loves to spend time in the yard. He does the “5 minute madness” in the home after having fun in the yard, as if to share it with this foster family. He loves to be petted and hugged, but does not give kisses. He smiles often. For more information about this dog, and other rescued racing greyhounds looking for homes, go here.
