Introductions – Casper
.
Every Tuesday in 2013, I’ll post something about the houndies. To start, I’d like to introduce Freedom, Casper and Nikki. This week, it’s Casper’s turn.
It is me, Casper.
Casper is my darling boy. Casper is a retired racing greyhound. His racing name was Try N Ryan, but, like Freedom, he didn’t race for long…around 10 races and no wins. Casper is 4 years old.
Casper is the baby of our pack. He is sweet, goofy and everyone’s favorite. Casper just has that special something about him that makes everyone love him.
Casper is the king of passive-aggressive. He often wants whatever bed Freedom is on or whatever toy she has (except the hedgehogs…the hedgehogs are sacred and Freedom’s alone). Here’s his method…he slowly, slowly, slowly approaches Freedom and circles around behind her. Freedom jumps up and starts barking and snarling. As soon as she jumps up, he flops down on her bed or gently reaches over and takes the toy. Freedom gives an extra snarl and then moves on. It works for him every single time.
Casper is the runner of the group. He loves to race around the backyard. He is also the only one of our hounds who does “after bath zoomies.” We laugh our heads off every time Casper gets a bath because he tears out of the bathroom and spins and runs and spins and runs all over the house.
Casper is also a connoisseur of beds. He particularly likes them piled high.
Casper is as sweet and gentle as he looks. He’s my little baby boy…no matter how old he gets. Love you, Caspie!
Special Announcement!
We are participating in Pip and Puddles’ BUCKET World Tour. Pip is our friend and his blog is Pip Gets Back In The Game. Pip is probably around 15 years old and has been having some problems with his heart, but you can’t keep a good Pip down, so he’s heading out to check off all the things on his Bucket List. We’re going to help. Stay tuned for more details.
He’s so handsome!
Nola
😀 He and Gwyn have so much in common. She does after bath zoomies too!
Bunny is our runner! At the dog park, after a bath, whenever the spirit moves her. I admit that we are Casper fans here. He reminds me of Hawk with his sneaky ways of getting what he wants.
Bunny here ~~ Not to worry, I have a special leash and collar I wear for hiking. The velvet stays at home! Hi Casper!
I love his eyes!
And the tales you tell of his behavior makes me think of my Fleur, she is much like that. It gives me perspective to know that there is a beloved greyhound with this behavior.
It’s so nice to be formally introduced to the family. How cute that Casper likes high beds. LOL. He looks like the Prince(ss) on the pea in that picture! Love it.
I’ve been reading about Pip here and there. Shall keep my eyes open.
i mean how could you not love a face like that!
Casper is a lovely lad. Loving the photo of him with the stuffie.
Casper mate; good to hear from you fella! You sound kind of like me; would it fair to say you are a bit of a Mummy’s boy?! Give me a call, it’s time you came over for a beer and some beef and Yorkshire pudding. Deccy x
To be honest, Casper’s theme song is “Love the One You’re With.” So he’s a Mummy’s boy, a Daddy’s boy, the next door neighbor’s boy, etc.
Casper sounds wonderful Lori, I love to watch them do silly zoombies after a bath. It’s greyt being introduced to your pack.
The art journal is looking brilliant! how’s the scrapbook going?
Sue and the Taylor pack
I haven’t worked on my scrapbook yet this year, Sue! But I won’t let you down. I will finish it.
The picture on the beds is precious
urban hounds
I just love the goofy boys. We will always have at least one boy in our pack.
Well he looks like me except he has more white…I is a greyhound too you knows. Dog gone, Casper is just beautifuls. And I does like da goofy part bout him, I is kinda goofy too.
Whether him ever won or not he is definitely a winner in my book.
I is so thrilled ya’ll is gonna help da Pip fulfill his Bucket List!
Puddles
Casper is adorable! I love the white ones. He will always look young. No gray hair for him.
Love Casper! Sounds like a great boy!
You can tell that Casper is goofy sweetheart by the look on his face. It comes through in his photos as well. We know about after bath zoomies here to 🙂
he is beautiful and we loves how you piles his bed up like that fairytale the princess and the pea…see we think magpie thinks she is a greyhound in another life cos she zooms through the house 123 miles an hour, and her ears are a flapping! yep!!!
p.s. we are on the bucket tour also.

He sounds like an awesome dog. Thanks for introducing him. 🙂
Awww…I luved getting to know Casper better. That’s pretty smart about how he gets the bed and the toys. When I want something that Brudder Ranger has, I run to the window and bark. He jumps up to back me up and then I run get whatever it was that he had. Heehee! Casper and I would make a good team!
Wiggles & Wags,
Mayzie
Casper, I could stare into your eyes forever! The picture of him with the lamb just melts my heart. It is a good thing that he has long legs to reach the top of the pile of beds 🙂 We are heading over to meet Pip right now.
I just love that bed photo
Stop on by for a visit
