Month: December 2012

Inspired by the recent video of dogs being taught to drive, I thought I would start training Enzo this morning. Big mistake! He may be a runner and a lover, but the idea of him doing the driving is a no-go.

Normally Enzo would be racing around the yard in his bright red racing coat, but today the cold wind is making him sit it out and shiver. Luckily, he stayed out just long enough for this quick snapshot.

This is what Monday mornings look like around here. Enzo realizes his favorite person is gone for the whole day, it’s raining outside and there is no chicken in the fridge. Tragic!

For the most part Enzo, like all other Italian Greyhounds, is oblivious to the world outside of his normal living zone. He could not care less what is trending on TMZ or the Huffington Post. The one thing he does take very seriously is chicken! As within any pack, we have to make sure that everyone gets fed and staying on budget each week is tough. This morning we were looking at the chicken futures and saw that they were up again to 97.50. I could tell that Enzo was thinking we should start keeping a larger stock in the house to protect ourselves from rising prices, but I wonder if he could really be trusted with a large cache of chicken?

Things started out ambitiously this morning. I had planned on an action shot of Enzo running and playing in the grass outside. Of course, the weather is not ideal for an Italian Greyhound and one step outside the door a rain drop fell on his nose and back inside he went. There was not even time to get my lens cap off the camera. This is where he was when I finally caught up with him.

We all love going through the new issue of Everyday Foods when it arrives and try to find new recipes to add to our monthly menu. This may be an indication of how spoiled Enzo is because he likes to have his input in what we prepare in the house. You can see him hurriedly scanning the recipes for any that calls for raw chicken.

Today Enzo is modeling his new Crazy Critter toy that was given to him by Sandra. When not being played with, this versatile piece can be worn as a scarf on cold winter days.
