Living with Kids and Dogs - Parenting Secrets for a Safe and Happy Home.

Kids and dogs. They go together like apple pie and vanilla ice cream or cookies and milk. We expect kids and dogs to get along great and be best buddies. So we might wonder why anyone would need a book about living with kids and dogs.

Wild Things For Greys - Designer Apparel - Custom made in Las Vegas, NV. 
"I have always had the talent of sewing and had made things for my greyhounds from time to time. One of my greyhounds, Allie Mae, was diagnosed with skin cancer in 2000. Designing practical and wearable garments for her was out of necessity. She had to be clothed to keep the sun and elements away from her skin. Don't let the title fool you, I also design special order garments for other breeds. Each garment is handmade and designed by me. A little bit of my heart goes with every piece of clothing that is purchased."

ARTWORK, JEWELRY, CRAFTS, PATTERNS & MORE:

www.dog-art.com - Sarah Regan Snavely, Fine Dog Art & Jewelry, "If you have looked at my artwork, you can tell that sight hounds are my favorite subject. I do many breeds, but I take special pleasure in the rare and unusual ones. Dogs are my only subjects. My goal is to create pieces that reflect the peculiar nature of dogs and their behavior (and sometimes you might see something about humans too). I strive to be true to the breed standard in each piece."

 

 

They Sailed the Ocean

Greyhounds came to the New World in 1493 on Columbus' second expedition.

A Quiet Place

Baby or dog gates are an inexpensive and very useful way to keep your newly adopted Greyhound confined to a "dog proofed" safe area or room of your home during the house breaking period or while you are temporarily away from the home.
