If you’ve been following me on Twitter, you may have noticed that there’s been a lot of kerfuffle over a certain Greyhound. Yes, that’s right, we’re officially Greyhound-approved Doggy-Mummies. How Exciting!

I give you the latest addition to our family:

This is Ziggy.

We brought him home yesterday after adopting him from the Retired Greyhound Trust.

He is an Irish-bred Greyhound that was intended to race (both his ears are tattooed and he racing name was “Moss Ted”). However, he and his near-identical litter brother failed to chase and so never made the grade. He is 2 years old and the precise details of his bloodline can be seen on Ziggy’s Greyhound Data page.

He is a black dog with a white chest, white toes and a white tip to his tail. He loves Weetabix, following K like a shadow and his favourite toy is his “Boofle”.

You can keep up to date with The Adventures of Ziggy over on Flickr – I’ll be adding photos with Ziggy’s commentary throughout the coming weeks.

And yes, he plays guitar.
