730 madness

Greyhounds have a reputation for being total couch potatoes.

Its all true. At least until 7:30pm

Ours will sit and snooze for hours and only need 30-40 minutes of walks a day.

But at 7:30pm all bets are off.

Lottie (our brindle girl greyhound) goes completely bonkers at precisely 7:30pm.

Things usually kick off with a brief "wuff" and a play bow (where she'll lean down on her front paws and eyeball her intended playmate in an invitation to play).

Accepting her play invite usually results in some pretty hilarious antics. Most funny of all are Greyhound spins.

Greyhounds are incredibly fast and graceful animals, but when they get really excited they love to do high-speed spins. The more spins Lottie does the loopier she seems to get.

She'll chase, play and spin for for all of about 10 minutes and then just as suddenly as she starts, she stops and its back to more sedate snoozing for the rest of the evening.

This is both incredibly cute and pretty darned hilarious The really funny thing is that this happens like clockwork at precisely 7:30 most evenings. Who'd have thought greyhounds could keep such precise time?
