Arrival Story: Maya came from a breeder in upstate New York (www.hallamhounds.com). I had been waiting for a puppy when the breeder contacted me stating that they had a four month old puppy that the previous owner no longer wanted her due to having a new baby on the way. We picked her up at the Des Moines Airport. All we saw in the crate was a wide-eyed, big nosed, big eared puppy. We think she was stuck in her crate during the time they didn't want her and the time she was flown back to the breeder, as she is very clausterphobic and cannot handle being in small spaces by herself.

Pharaoh Hounds smile when they are excited or pleased. Their ears and nose also become more of a darker red tone. Whenever I come home from work Maya is there to smile at me and welcome me home.
Starting out light hearted!!! Check out my "blurry profile picture". Mom still had to post it! My new bomber jacket is GREAT! We had cyclocross races on Saturday and a friend of mom's saw me shivering (50 degree weather, which is warm in Iowa right now) and brought her dog's jacket. Her dog had passed away a couple years ago. Every time she saw me, she smiled!!
Today is my bestest friend's birthday . . . Old Sheba/Sheb'z. I do miss her. Mom hasn't been the same on Dogster since Sheba passed. She promises me, it just takes time. Mom plays the video on Sheba's page for me every now and then. When she is barking, I always look satsified! I don't look around for her. Since she passed up to the Bridge when I was with her here at home, I knew right where she went.
Today, however, is her birthday . . . the JOY OF LIFE! Sheba lived a great 15 years of spoilings, lovings and tons of runs, hikes, cuddle time and treats!!!
Mom and I miss her. We thought about her all day. Mom is typing this where Sheba was put to sleep. Here, in our house. Warm and comfortable.
Happy birthday "pretty girl". Never forgotten and never missed.
Mom's heart isn't heavy any more! Just all love. My heart?! Mom can tell that I miss her. I talk more to mom. Tons more!! Tonight mom wasn't given me enough attention! My favorite thing to do is grab her kitchen rug and run off and shake it as much as I can!!! GIVE ME ATTENTION!!!!!
So here I am at doggie day car this afternoon. I am romping and playing with all the other dogs. Next thing I know, I stop right in the middle of playing with a Great Dane and turn to look over my shoulder . . . it is mom driving by!! Why was she here so early? It was only lunch time. But, wait, she didn't stop? She just kept going.
An hour later, I am playing with a beautiful German Shepard when I stop again and look over my shoulder. It is mom, AGAIN, driving by?!
I am going to have to talk to her when she comes to pick me up. She is acting like a stalker spying on me and ruining my romping time! It isn't my fault she doesn't have access at work any longer to watch me on the video cam!
Ooooooooooh, was I in BIG trouble yesterday and last night. No lovies for me whatsoever. Mom came home to find out that dad left me out in the yard by myself while he took off for a bike ride (dad is in the dog house too, because he is NEVER supposed to leave me outside when no one is home) . . .
Well, two days ago the lawn care people came in and sprayed the lawn, and didn't put the bunge cord back tight on the gate. We do have invisible fence, but mom never uses it, because I only know of one way I can get out. Through the gate.
I tripped the bunge cord and off I ran several blocks away to the neighbor kids! They just love me! (They know me well when I escaped last year)! They are such good kids, because I love being chased, and they love to chase me!!
Next thing I know, I am caught by one of their parents and brought back to my house. Well, dad and mom still were not home, so I was put in the neighbors kennel.
When mom came home my tail was between my legs and my ears down even before dad told her what had happend. Mom had a little talk with me. My tail went further between my legs, and I couldn't look her in the face.
While she was sleeping last night though, I snuggled up against her. I could tell she was upset still this morning, because she canceled day care, and I was put in my kennel.
