I love that there are dogs in this world who can wear fashion and look stylish (dig the photographic evidence below.) Today I get to share a lovely greyhound, Bank on Benefit, better known as Bunny. Along with her human, Carrie, they write a blog chronicling daily life with a houseful of canines. So, Bunny does have a blog… but she’s such a sweet girl, you really won’t mind that technicality.
Dog Questions
What is your name?
My racing name is Bank On Benefit, but everybody calls me Bunny.
What breed of dog are you?
I’m all greyhound! Even though I’m on the petite side.
How old are you?
I’m three and a half.
Where did you come from (pound, rescue, breeder)?
I was adopted through Quad Cities Greyhound Adoption (QCGA).
What nicknames do the humans call you?
Bunny Foo Foo, Pupcake, Princess, Sweet Pea, Hey you, get out of that!
Do you like any of your nicknames?
Pupcake is my favorite, because when Mom says it, she thinks I’m sweet.
What is your favorite walk/hike?
I love any walk or hike! As long as I get to go out and sniff the world, I’m a happy puppy. I have really been enjoying walks down by the riverfront near here lately.
What is your go to toy?
My Mother Bunny bunny or my talking rose
Oh, that’s a hard question because I am a fashion hound! I have some very fancy collars and coats. My favorite one is from 2 Hounds Design and it has flowers embroidered on it. I also have a very cool collar from The Unruly Hound that has my name embroidered on it.
If you’re a reader, what is your favorite book?
I rather enjoyed Walter The Farting Dog. It made me laugh.
What is the oddest thing you’ve ever done?
Lilac is another greyhound who lives here with us and she’s really old. She has SLO, which is an autoimmune disease that makes her toenails fall off. Well, one fell off the other day and I ate it. It can’t be worse than horse hooves, right?
What is the treat you will do anything for?
Frosty Paws drive me wild! I also am very fond of apple cider.
What is your greatest skill?
Getting people to pet me at will.
If you could speak only one sentence, what would you say?
Pet me, you know you want to!
What is your favorite human food?
Steak
If you could be granted 3 wishes, what would they be?
That all greyhounds would find great homes after retirement, that I could finally finish my hole to China and that Mom would quit her job and stay home with me all the time, or take me with her wherever she went.
What do you love most about your human?
I loved her the minute I laid eyes on her. Not that I don’t love Dad, too, but Mom is really my person. She just sees how special and adorable I am and she gets me. She snuggles with me, takes me on adventures and helps me write my blog.
Human Questions
What is your dog’s name?
Her name is Bunny.
She’s a greyhound who was “retired” early because she was too little to race.
How old is your dog?
She’s three and a half, but she’s always surprised me with her maturity. She’s an old soul.
Where did you get your dog (pound, rescue, breeder)?
We got her from a greyhound adoption group.
What nicknames do you call your dog?
Pupcake, Sweetheart, Princess of All She Surveys, Your Hineyness
What is the best thing you’ve taught your dog?
The only thing I can really take credit for is teaching her to walk on a leash. She’d never been on one before we got her. The rest of the training that’s been done is her training us!
How does your dog make you laugh?
She runs and plays in the house, and she’ll do this little wiggle on her back on the carpet that’s just adorable. She also stalks ice cream and yogurt.
Is there any weird behavior you’d like to share about your dog?
She’s surprisingly normal considering how weird the rest of us are.
What is your favorite walk/hike to take?
I love walking her on trails, pretty much anywhere shady. I love scenic spots where we can get good photos.
What is the best toy you’ve given your dog?
Probably her Mother Bunny bunny, although the Kong Wubba is a new highlight here at our house.
If your dog could speak only one sentence, what would he/she say?
I didn’t say you were finished — keep petting me!
What is the most annoying behavior your dog exhibits?
All her behaviors are quite endearing to me, but she does get a little over excited on the few rare occasions when we have company.
Does your dog wear anything fashionable?
Ha ha! She has Posh Pawz and Voyager’s coats, more collars than I can count and even a bottle of Poodle Pink Pawlish that we crack out once in a while for nursing home visits.
Has your dog ever destroyed anything in your home?
She’s shredded a few catalogs, but that’s about it.
What do you love most about your dog?
Oh wow! She’s just overwhelmingly sweet! When I lost my first greyhound, I was just bereft. We went to the adoption kennel and I met about a dozen very sweet dogs, but they just didn’t have that special connection for me. Then the woman said they had one new girl in, but they didn’t know much about her, but I could meet her if I wanted to. She walked in and leaned against me so calmly, I couldn’t believe she was only eighteen months old. She has really healed our hearts and she just makes every day a joy. Life is just so much better with her here!
Such a charming family! You can meet the whole crazy bunch on their blog, Tales and Tails, that has silly & sweet greyhounds, funny moments and beautiful photographs. Check out their Facebook Page too. Thanks Bunny and Carrie for sharing a bit about yourselves on my dog blog.

Would love to hear from you…
Hello…I found about your blog all because of famous Miss Bunny herself! We are lucky to be friends with her and we feel so special to know a dog as beautiful as she is! She really is a fashionable young lady and she’s even shared her fashion tips with our coonhound, Daisy, already!
I love your blog and I’ve overdone my passion for your blog by joining Networked Blogs, your RSS feed, etc! I even shared your blog post on FB and Twitter! What can I say? If I really love something I tend to go a bit too overboard but you don’t mind, do you? Hee! Hee!
You can’t go too overboard – we love enthusiasm! Thanks for all the shout outs!
Oh wow! I loved it! You did a great job with it. I hope you have a lot more interviews in the future!
Thanks for participating! Loved having you 🙂
We love Bunny!!!
Bunny is an old friend and I found this interview awesome. Way to go, loved the interview, questions and answers!
