Oh, Deer

The nose is real and the antlers are fake. No, no, the antlers are real and the nose is fake. No, wait a minute, the nose is real, the antlers are real and the eyes are fake!

    boooop!

    Soren, if you’re reading this, where did Trixie get that hat?! She’s darling :)

    (though crochet ears are not nearly as delicious-looking as puppeh’s natural ears would be, I’m sure)

    I’ve seen this picture on Reddit! It is adorable. You can google for the knit pattern. @tracylee, we lost Willoughby Thanksgiving Day. I made a little comment about it but that post has disappeared. We’re terribly heartbroken of course.

    • skippymom says:

      I’m so, so sorry. The little guy put up a good fight. Sending you big hugs.

    • Rachael says:

      Reading about your loss just hit me like a ton of bricks. I guess I thought you’d have more time with your baby boy but I guess it was not to be. He’s at peace now and waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge. Imagine the reunion you’ll have!

      Be strong, sweetie. I know how painful it is but your little boy would not want you to suffer. *gentle hugs*

    • Fird Birfle says:

      oh so sad :( so sorry about Willoughby :(
      Sympathies by the truckload to you, ThirdShift

      Tell Willoughby to look up my guy Salinger. He’s prolly playing poker and smoking ceegars up there; Willoughby should join the game!!!

      • phred's mom says:

        If Willoughby is smart, he will look up
        Phred and Ben-him and join with them
        and Salinger for that poker. A good time
        will be had by all.

    • tracylee says:

      Oh Third, I’m so sorry to hear that :.(

      I’m absolutely heartbroken for you! what a tough time :(

    • ThirdShift says:

      Thank you Peeps. We’re sad beyond words; I haven’t had the heart to put up his food bowls and blankets and things. Willoughby had the attention span of a may fly and was never able to bluff so he’d have a losing hand at poker. He was doing so well so it was a devastating shock to us. We cried for days.

      Seems there’s a lot of greyhound/sighthound/lurcher humins on CO, we should make a sub-chapter.

  4. ThirdShift says:

    Moderation. CO does not like teh sad.

  5. Saffron says:

    I never knew Rudoph had such a boopable schnozz!

  6. Gigi says:

    Excuse me Santa? Dasher can’t make it tonight he twisted a hoof but Schnozzer agreed to fill in for him.

  7. The Koala says:

    I’ve been looking all over for one of these for my greyhound! (who looks a lot like the fabulous Trixie)

  8. DevonAnn says:

    Yay that’s my girl! :)

  9. steph says:

    OMG. i lurve it!!!!!

  10. Caryn says:

    Was she sired by Cragie Whistler? My sweet brindle, Rose, was, and they look EXACTLY alike!

    Great picture :)

    • DevonAnn says:

      I had to look because I know she was sired by a Craigie – turns out it’s Craigie Mo Town so they share a common grand-dog (Molotov, who also sired Craigie Whistler).
      I think that makes them doggie cousins of a sort?

    • tracylee says:

      Caryn – Mine was!! Rose & my Miss Schnozz (Whistler’s GoGo) are half-siblings!!

      • Caryn says:

        How exciting! I think having a greyhound makes people more apt to view this website. Seriously…everything they do is goofy and cute :)

    explains how santa can get to everyone’s house in one night

  12. kibblenibble says:

    Trixie has that patient, long-suffering look that dogs make so adorabuhls.

  13. skippymom says:

    Nobody could have a nose that long. It’s obviously fake.

  14. skippymom says:

    Kickin’ back in the lounge, having a big mug of mulled cider….

  15. Iva says:

    OMG ! That is awesome!

  16. Holly says:

    whatever, fake looks quite “dear” on Miss Trixie!

  17. Kar says:

    I wanna put those on a Scottish deerhound. Just to drive them crazy.

  18. Linda says:

    THis is adorable! Sadly, we lost our okie greyhound last year. He looked exactly like your Miss Trixie! Merry Christmas!

  19. sugitomo says:

    The likeness is amazingk!

  20. Miss Ruth says:

    What, am I the only one who’s thinking of Santa’s Little Helper from the Simpsons?
