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.

\nDog Questions
\nWhat is your name?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nMy racing name is Bank On Benefit, but everybody calls me Bunny.
\n
\nWhat breed of dog are you?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nI’m all greyhound! Even though I’m on the petite side.
\n
\nHow old are you?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nI’m three and a half.
\n
\nWhere did you come from (pound, rescue, breeder)?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nI was adopted through Quad Cities Greyhound Adoption (QCGA).
\n
\nWhat nicknames do the humans call you?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nBunny Foo Foo, Pupcake, Princess, Sweet Pea, Hey you, get out of that!
\n
\nDo you like any of your nicknames?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nPupcake is my favorite, because when Mom says it, she thinks I’m sweet.
\n
\nWhat is your favorite walk\/hike?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nI 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.
\n


\nWhat is your go to toy?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nMy Mother Bunny bunny or my talking rose
\n

\"\"<\/a>
:: pupcake ::<\/figcaption><\/figure>What is the most fashionable thing you wear?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nOh, 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.
\n
\nIf you’re a reader, what is your favorite book?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nI rather enjoyed Walter The Farting Dog. It made me laugh.
\n
\nWhat is the oddest thing you’ve ever done?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nLilac 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?
\n
\nWhat is the treat you will do anything for?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nFrosty Paws drive me wild! I also am very fond of apple cider.
\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
:: sweet pea ::<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nWhat is your greatest skill?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nGetting people to pet me at will.
\n
\nIf you could speak only one sentence, what would you say?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nPet me, you know you want to!
\n
\nWhat is your favorite human food?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nSteak
\n
\nIf you could be granted 3 wishes, what would they be?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nThat 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.
\n
\nWhat do you love most about your human?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nI 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.
\n
\nHuman Questions
\nWhat is your dog’s name?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nHer name is Bunny.
\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
:: princess of all she surveys ::<\/figcaption><\/figure>What breed of dog do you have?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nShe’s a greyhound who was “retired” early because she was too little to race.
\n
\nHow old is your dog?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nShe’s three and a half, but she’s always surprised me with her maturity. She’s an old soul.
\n
\nWhere did you get your dog (pound, rescue, breeder)?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nWe got her from a greyhound adoption group.
\n
\nWhat nicknames do you call your dog?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nPupcake, Sweetheart, Princess of All She Surveys, Your Hineyness
\n
\nWhat is the best thing you’ve taught your dog?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nThe 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!
\n
\nHow does your dog make you laugh?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nShe 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.
\n
\n

\nIs there any weird behavior you’d like to share about your dog?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nShe’s surprisingly normal considering how weird the rest of us are.
\n
\nWhat is your favorite walk\/hike to take?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nI love walking her on trails, pretty much anywhere shady. I love scenic spots where we can get good photos.
\n
\nWhat is the best toy you’ve given your dog?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nProbably her Mother Bunny bunny, although the Kong Wubba is a new highlight here at our house.
\n


\n


\nIf your dog could speak only one sentence, what would he\/she say?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nI didn’t say you were finished — keep petting me!
\n
\nWhat is the most annoying behavior your dog exhibits?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nAll her behaviors are quite endearing to me, but she does get a little over excited on the few rare occasions when we have company.
\n
\nDoes your dog wear anything fashionable?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nHa 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.
\n
\nHas your dog ever destroyed anything in your home?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nShe’s shredded a few catalogs, but that’s about it.
\n
\nWhat do you love most about your dog?<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nOh 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!
