Today Iโ€™m feeling the weight of a profound loss โ€” Dame Jane Goodall has passed.

She was more than a scientist; she was a friend to creatures great and small, and a voice for the voiceless. Her work awakened in so many of us a deeper respect, love, and sense of responsibility for the natural world.

Though she is no longer walking among us, I like to imagine she is now cradled in the arms of every animal she cared for, her spirit alive in every rustling leaf, every breeze, and every wild place she strove to protect.

This painting is my tribute and my thank you to Jane โ€” a way of honouring her love, her courage, and her legacy.

Thank you, Jane, for showing us how to look โ€” how to listen โ€” how to care. Your spirit will forever live on in every living thing that draws breath.

Lady Penelope Whippington-Snoot (retired track champion, current Chief Executive of Sofa Quality Control) was enjoying her post-breakfast, pre-elevenses nap when she overheard her humans having what could only be described as An Important Conversation.

"We really should get a proper portrait done," Mum was saying, gesturing toward Penelope with suspicious enthusiasm.
"Something that captures her... personality," agreed Dad.

Penelope's ears pricked up with interest. Finally. FINALLY, her humans had come to their senses.

๐Ÿ“– ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐Ÿต: ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—›๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜
It had always mystified Penelope why her palace walls were adorned with inferior artwork โ€“ landscapes, abstracts, even a questionable print of sunflowers โ€“ when they could have been graced with portraits of true nobility. Namely, herself.

She had, after all, been blessed with the kind of classical bone structure that Renaissance masters would have wept over. Those elegant lines, that regal bearing, the way the light caught her sleek coat just so... It was practically a crime against art that no one had thought to commission a proper portrait before now.

Even her great-great-grandmother Duchess Wilhelmina Speedwell had had her likeness captured in oils, though admittedly that was back when greyhounds were properly appreciated as the aristocracy they clearly were.

๐Ÿ“– ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฌ: ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—”๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€
"We need someone who understands greyhounds," Mum mused, scrolling through something on the glowing rectangle device.

Penelope nodded approvingly from her throne. Too many artists, she suspected, lacked the proper training to capture the subtle nuances of sighthound superiority. The delicate arch of an eyebrow, the aristocratic tilt of the head, the way one could convey both dignity and mild disdain in a single expression.

"Look at this!" Dad exclaimed. "Custom watercolour portraits from photos! They specialize in capturing personality..."

Watercolours, Penelope mused. How delightfully suitable. Oils were rather... heavy. Watercolours had that ethereal quality that would complement her refined features beautifully. Plus, the medium had a certain delicacy that matched her own sensitive constitution.

๐Ÿ“– ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿญ: ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฃ๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฆ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป
Of course, one couldn't simply snap a photo willy-nilly for such an important commission. This required proper preparation.

Penelope began her beauty routine three days early. Extended grooming sessions (conducted by her personal human servants, naturally), careful attention to diet (no treats that might cause unflattering bloating), and most importantly, practicing her poses.

โœจ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—–๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—ฆ๐—ฝ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜…: front paws elegantly crossed, head held high, eyes gazing into the distance with the wisdom of ages.

โœจ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—Ÿ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฒ: artfully arranged across her throne, demonstrating the perfect balance of relaxation and dignity that only true nobility could achieve.

๐Ÿ“– ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฎ: ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—š๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฃ๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป
The day of the photo shoot arrived. Penelope had selected her finest collar (the one with just a hint of sparkle โ€“ tasteful, not gaudy) and positioned herself in optimal lighting.

"Just act natural, Penelope," encouraged Mum.

Act natural? Penelope gave them her most withering stare. She WAS natural. This level of elegance wasn't an act โ€“ it was simply her baseline state of being.

She struck pose after pose, each one more magnificent than the last. The camera clicked frantically as her parents tried to capture her essence.

"Perfect!" they declared. "This one captures her personality perfectly!"

Penelope glanced at the camera's display. Yes, that would do nicely. She'd managed to convey just the right combination of noble bearing and subtle superiority. The artist would have excellent material to work with.

๐Ÿ“– ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฏ: ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—”๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป
Now came the most challenging part: waiting.

Penelope had never been particularly good at patience. Oh, she could wait motionlessly for hours if there was a comfortable surface involved, but waiting for something important โ€“ like the arrival of her commissioned portrait โ€“ required an entirely different skill set.

She took to positioning herself near the front windows, watching for delivery vehicles with the intensity she once reserved for spotting rabbits. Every van, every postal worker, every courier received her full attention.

Her parents found this amusing. "She knows something special is coming," they chuckled.

Of course she knew. One didn't achieve her level of sophistication without developing a keen sense for when one's rightful recognition was imminent.

๐Ÿ“– ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฐ: ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—จ๐—ป๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด
When the package finally arrived, Penelope supervised the opening process with the gravity it deserved. Her parents carefully unwrapped the watercolour portrait, and...

โœจ ๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป. โœจ

The artist had captured not just her physical beauty, but her essence. The noble tilt of her head, the intelligent eyes, the way her coat seemed to shimmer with an inner light. This wasn't just a painting โ€“ it was a masterpiece that finally gave her the recognition she deserved.

"It's beautiful," her parents whispered, clearly moved by the artistic achievement.

Penelope nodded approvingly. The portrait now held pride of place above the fireplace, where visitors could properly appreciate true nobility. As it should be.

๐Ÿ‘‘ ๐—˜๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ด๐˜‚๐—ฒ: ๐—” ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—”๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป
And so Lady Penelope achieved what all great nobles eventually must: proper artistic recognition of her magnificence.

As she settled into her evening nap, she couldn't help but notice how her palace felt more complete now. The portrait watching over her domain served as a constant reminder to all who entered that they were in the presence of greatness.

She had one final thought before drifting off to sleep: surely every greyhound deserved such recognition? After all, they were all nobility in their own right โ€“ retired athletes who had earned their place in history, gentle souls with the bearing of kings and queens.

Perhaps it was time for a portrait revolution. A world where every greyhound's true magnificence was properly documented in beautiful watercolours, ready to grace palace walls everywhere...

Does your own noble hound deserve their place in art history? Because let's be honest โ€“ they're probably giving you the same "why isn't there a portrait of ME yet?" look that Penelope perfected. Maybe it's time to fix that situation... ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ‘‘

Lady Penelope Whippington-Snoot (retired from professional athletics, currently employed as Chief Sofa Inspector) was enjoying her fourteenth nap of the day when her humans made The Announcement.

"We're going on holiday!" they declared, waving brochures of beaches and mountains with suspicious enthusiasm.

Penelope opened one elegant eye. Holiday meant one of two things: either she would be abandoned to eat inferior kibble from a bowl that wasn't properly warmed, or โ€“ horror of horrors โ€“ they expected her to leave her perfectly temperature-controlled palace for the great outdoors.

She sighed dramatically. Humans really had no consideration for a lady's delicate constitution.

๐ŸŽ’ ๐‚๐ก๐š๐ฉ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ ๐Ÿ: ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐†๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ญ ๐๐š๐œ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ƒ๐ž๐›๐š๐ญ๐ž
"She'll need her travel bed," said Human #1.
"And her car blanket," added Human #2.
"Her winter coat, summer coat, and emergency coat."
"The special cushions for her joints."
"Her favourite squeaky toy."
"The backup squeaky toy."
"Her travel water bowl."
"Her travel food bowl."
"Her travel treat bowl."

Penelope watched from her throne (a designer dog bed that cost more than most people's monthly salary) as her humans packed enough equipment to supply a small army. Finally, someone understood her needs.

The car had been transformed into a mobile palace, complete with memory foam mattresses and blankets arranged with five-star precision. Penelope approved, though she made sure to sigh occasionally to maintain her reputation as a discerning critic.

Every two hours, the chariot stopped for what her humans called comfort breaks but what Penelope knew were mandatory territory inspections.

"She's such a good traveller," the humans congratulated themselves.

Penelope refrained from mentioning that she was simply conserving energy between sniffing missions. Strategy, darling. Strategy.

The campsite was... rustic. Penelope stared at the tent with the expression of a queen being shown to servants' quarters.

"It's like glamping!" Human #1 said cheerfully.

Penelope had standards. Those standards included Egyptian cotton bedding, climate control, and a proper bathroom. This green fabric contraption offered none of these.

Within minutes, she had commandeered the largest sleeping bag, arranged the pillows, and positioned herself strategically near the tent entrance โ€“ both for optimal warmth and dramatic effect.

The humans slept on the ground. Penelope slept like royalty.

Day three brought The Squirrel.

Penelope spotted it during her morning patrol. A grey, fluffy-tailed intruder in her territory.

What happened next was later called The Great Greyhound Awakening. The lead went taut. Human #2 went horizontal. The squirrel vanished up a tree.

"I forgot she could do that," gasped Human #2 from the ground.

Penelope looked smugly satisfied. One must maintain standards, even in the wilderness.

Sand: natureโ€™s way of irritating toes.
Waves: suspiciously wet and loud.
Seagulls: disrespectful.

But the beach also offered prime sunbathing real estate. Penelope struck a pose that would have made Renaissance sculptors weep.

"She loves the beach!" the humans exclaimed.

Penelope cracked open one eye. She didnโ€™t love the beach. She had simply mastered it.

After seven days of roughing it, the palace came into view. Her sofa โ€“ HER sofa โ€“ waited in perfect condition, complete with her carefully cultivated cushion dents.

She spent the next hour reacquainting herself with every throne, testing comfort levels, and checking squeaky toy inventory.

Finally, satisfied, she sighed contentedly and resumed her role as household queen.

Travel, she decided, was acceptable if the following standards were met:

โ€ข Adequate blankets (minimum seven layers)
โ€ข Regular comfort stops (every two hours)
โ€ข Climate-controlled sleeping arrangements
โ€ข Secure perimeters (squirrels must be contained)
โ€ข Emergency coats for every occasion
โ€ข Humans trained in proper lead-handling

But most importantly: home is not just a place โ€“ itโ€™s a perfectly broken-in sofa, arranged just so.

The humans were already planning their next trip. Penelope sighed. Training them in advanced travel etiquette would have to begin soon.

After all, a lady has her standards.

Beautiful Killian looking for a home if anyone has a Greyhound sized space on their sofaxx

Killian arrived in July 2024 and went off to a fabulous couple.
It's a very sad situation, and we ask you be respectful with your comments.

Killian ( d.o.b 01/03/21 )
He is a smaller boy at only 22"

His current owner, Sally has been battling cancer, and her health now means she is no longer able to provide Killian with the exercise, routine, and support he needs to thrive.

This has been an incredibly difficult and heartbreaking decision, but one made with Killianโ€™s best interests at heart.
Killian is a bright, affectionate, and playful dog who has overcome a difficult start in life.
He is intelligent, learns quickly, and enjoys the company of other dogs.
Killian, when he arrived had a delicate tummy and Sally currently feeds him on Hills prescription food. But, Sally thinks that it would be easy to wean him off with another grain free, easy on the tummy kibble.
Killian is a happy and loving companion who brings joy and energy to those around him.
Sally/Mum wants nothing more than to see Killian settled with the right family who can offer him the structure, activity, and affection he deserves.
( If required his veterinary history, insurance details, and current management plan are all available to ensure a smooth transition into his new home. )
We hope you will be able to help us find the right place for Killian to continue his journey.
With Mums health being so delicate we are keen to help in whatever way to facilitate this but we are concerned about time.
If you can offer this lovely lad a forever home, please call us on 07470 931758

๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’จ New Print Alert!
Because letโ€™s be honest โ€“ your greyhound has absolutely ZERO concept of personal space or bathroom privacy.

Whether youโ€™re brushing your teeth, taking a shower, orโ€ฆ well, anything else in there ๐Ÿšฝ๐Ÿ‘€ โ€ฆ your speedy shadow will be right there with those big soulful eyes like:
โ€œOh, are we doing bathroom things together now? Cool, Iโ€™m in!โ€

This print celebrates the universal greyhound truth: they may be the fastest dogs on earth, but theyโ€™re also the fastest to follow you into the loo. Every. Single. Time.

โœจ Perfect for any dog parent whoโ€™s long since given up on bathroom solitude!

Picture this: You're wrapped in your favourite jumper, sipping tea by the radiator, and your greyhound walks past looking like a shivering supermodel who's forgotten their jacket. Welcome to life with the world's fastest couch potato!

Here's the thing about our beloved sighthounds โ€“ they're basically living proof that you CAN be too skinny! With skin thinner than a politician's promises and about as much body fat as a supermarket receipt is long, greyhounds are the equivalent of that friend who's ALWAYS cold (you know the one).

Originally bred for speed in warmer climates, these magnificent noodle horses arrived in Britain and immediately thought: "Blimey, where's the central heating?"

Greyhounds have:
โ€ข Single-layer coats (think summer dress, not winter duffle coat)
โ€ข Minimal body fat (typically 16% compared to other breeds' 20-25%)
โ€ข Thin skin that's more delicate than your gran's best china
โ€ข Low metabolisms when not zooming at 45mph

Basically, Mother Nature designed the perfect sprinter but forgot to include the winter survival pack!

The "Will They Actually Wear It?" Test:
Some greyhounds embrace coats like they're auditioning for Fashion Week. Others perform an Oscar-worthy drama of "the coat is lava" every time you approach with it.

What Makes a Good Greyhound Coat:
โ€ข Proper fit โ€“ should cover from neck to base of tail
โ€ข Belly coverage โ€“ those tummies need love too
โ€ข Easy on/off โ€“ nobody has time for a 6am wrestling match
โ€ข Weatherproof โ€“ British weather waits for no hound
โ€ข Machine washable โ€“ because they'll ALWAYS find the muddy puddle

Signs Your Greyhound Loves Their Coat:
โ€ข Prances like they're on a catwalk
โ€ข Gives you "grateful eyes" instead of "betrayed eyes"
โ€ข Actually comes TO you when they see the coat
โ€ข Sleeps in it (yes, indoors too!)

Signs They Merely Tolerate It:
โ€ข Thousand-yard stare of resignation
โ€ข Walking like they're made of cardboard
โ€ข Freezing mid-stride hoping youโ€™ll notice
โ€ข The dramatic sigh that could power a small wind farm

Even if your greyhound gives you the cold shoulder (pun intended), they genuinely need a coat when temps drop below 15ยฐC. Think of it as safety gear โ€“ not glamorous, but absolutely necessary for British weather adventures!

So, greyhound parents โ€“ what's your experience? ๐Ÿพ
Does your hound strut their stuff in style, or do they treat coat-time like a personal tragedy?

Share your photos & stories below โ€“ weโ€™d love to see your sighthoundโ€™s winter fashion choices (willing or otherwise)! ๐Ÿ“ธ

Because every greyhound deserves to be warm, even if theyโ€™re not entirely convinced about the whole "wearing clothes" concept! ๐Ÿ’š
