The Grey Carpet

I am struttin' my stuff down the Grey carpet. Fans cheer for me "I love you, Beloki!" "Can I have your pawtograph?" My bodyguard clears a narrow path through the crowd, keeping me on lead a short distance behind. Flashes from the cameras blind me. A group of reporters shove microphones in front of me and ask questions. I answer "Yes, I am one of the September Greymates. The other September Greymate, Joseba, and I were adopted on Mother's Day back in 2004." "No, I did not go on a diet before the photo shoot. My incredibly fit and trim figure comes naturally." "No, actually, I do not lounge around all day like the calendar portrays. I prefer running fast." "Yes, I did practice for the photo shoot. I took a Clicker Training class to learn how to sit motionless for the photographer." "No, I will not profit from the sale of these calendars. All proceeds go to support Greyhound adoption." After I make my way through the masses of people, I join the other Greymates and take a seat under the tent. An audience of Greyhounds and their Forever Families look on in anticipation of the day's big event. And finally... after endless hours of hard work... the Greymates 2008 Calendar is revealed. ~Beloki

Beloki and Joseba are excited to enter the ranks of some of the most famous Greyhounds- not because they ran the oval the fastest but because they take a mighty pretty picture. See everyone at Greyfest.
