January 7, 2005

Well, here's a little something for you history buffs out there--the very first Friday Hound Blogging we did here on Blogger. We had an occasional blog on another server a few months before this, but left due to...uh...creative differences, which is why we say the FHB tradition is continuing (this is probably the third time we had done this so our definition of "tradition" may be slightly looser than yours). Ah, the innocence, the simplicity, the lack of abuse directed to the overlords. It was a kinder gentler Ironicus back then, was it not?

Oh, we did a little digging and Bella is still around. She's almost 10 now, a little more gray than in her picture here, but she still enjoys toys, lying in the sun and being with her adoptive family.

Friday Hound Blogging
As part of our community service, er...as part of our service to the community, we continue with the tradition of Friday Hound Blogging. Yes, we know about Atrios and TBogg but this is much better because these hounds are retired racing greyhounds that are looking for homes. If you don't know about the plight of racing greyhounds go here.

Besides, greyhounds are way cooler than Basset Hounds, and don't even think about cats. So, without further preliminaries, Here's our guest of the day, Bella Blanco:



Bella is very sweet, easygoing, happy, and loves attention. She will approach and nudge you with her nose for attention. She is a greyhound “collector” who takes all the dog toys from the toy box to her bed. For more information about this dog, and other rescued racing greyhounds looking for homes, go here.

All the backwoods' mentalities supporting the tortures of these Greyhounds shall be revealed in Kansas King.
Any politician associated with this breed's demise is finished.
