New greyhound bumper stickers & stuff

Ok so I have added some new stuff to my cafepress store (the link is now fixed), as Barbie has been busy providing me with inspiration. That and cafepress added laptop skins, which gave me an idea for a whole series of designs. Once you have a greyhound in your life, everything else seems incredibly slow. Laptops, cars and bikes all seem like they are moving at a glacial pace in comparison to your sprinting greyhound.





I also wanted to work a bit with the theme that greyhounds are not retired, they are redeployed to their new lives as companions and house pets. One of Barbie's many jobs around the house is 'resident snake catcher'.










I have noticed there are a fair few greyhound related designs on cafepress, but I think the ones with black greyhounds are the best!

Yeah you have a lot of dangerous critters over there don't you? Mum told me that she once had a close encounter with a Widow in Port Augusta.... but now I'm beginning to wonder if we were talking a cross purposes...... hehe! Deccy x

Those are great! Did you draw the greyhound picture? You could also make one that says "I wish my computer was as fast as my greyhound." Sometimes I feel like that.

yeah I drew it, it's from a photo I took of Barbie down at the beach one day :) I like drawing her, she has great lines!

I made a laptop skin which is a photo of Barbie at the beach that says 'I wish my computer was as fast as my dog' - I have ordered one of everything to see what they all turn out like.

Those are awesome! I'm going to hope that Bunny doesn't become a snake hunter, though. *shudder*

Gee, I wonder why you think the black ones are the best!

Bunny is too precious to be hunting snakes :) unless maybe they are pink, soft and furry?

Beryl is a redeployed ball chaser! She is still the only greyhound I have seen photos of carrying a tennis ball in her mouth :)

Loved the stickers! Do you have for The Dogs greyhound racing for GRNSW or GRSA? Would love to have these ones on my truck.

"Once you have a greyhound in your life, everything else seems incredibly slow. Laptops, cars and bikes all seem like they are moving at a glacial pace in comparison to your sprinting greyhound." - its your greyhound's way of telling you that you need a new and more modern laptop, car and bike. Pretty intelligent four legger.

Wow that means that your dog is really good at longing as fast as a bike and it is really amazing thing to see. I am sure that with some training your dog is able to run very faster.
