Hi everyone,

I'm the new dog, Ajax. For those of you who hadn't heard the terrible news, Pork Chop (the previous owner of this blog) passed away due to some health issues. I never met him, but everything I have heard has been positive. My new friends Shane and Cassandra weren't quite sure whether to keep the DogBlog going, but everyone liked hearing from Pork Chop so much, that I thought I should pick up where he left off. To be honest, I'm really just hoping to get famous.

So for the past two weeks I've been studying hard and learning stairs, windows, mirrors, other dogs, and hardest of all, typing.

A quick summary about me. I'm white with brindle spots. People say I'm very pretty, but I didn't know that until I started seeing myself in the fireplace. It took me about a week to realize that it was me and not another dog. In the last two weeks I've gotten pretty comfortable in my new home. My new favorite things to do are to ride in the car and meet the other dogs in the neighborhood. Every night at 7 pm, we all get together and make our people let us play together. I've gotten to be friends with a few other dogs. Most of them are much smaller than I am, but I'm getting used to it, and I really get excited when I see them down the street now.

My friend Angela comes every day around 1 pm to take me outside and walk me. It's a nice break from laying around and basically doing nothing all day.  I've heard rumors recently about a new collar coming in the mail anytime too. I think I would like that very much.  Also, I read that Pork Chop liked to smile while he was asleep. Well, I do the same thing, and even bigger! The other day I got so excited about playing with Shane that I was using my "big" smile, which even scared him. He said it looked exactly like any other dog when they are really angry and about to bite. I was just really happy. That's what we greyhounds do - we have big smiles.

I'm going to try to be an interactive dog, so please email me your questions and I'll answer them later! For those of you that haven't seen me, here's a nice picture. (And as Shane's friend Arnold noted: Yes, i'm plugged in and charging.)
