The Hounds of Solvang

We have been waiting for the hounds to show up...and they did this weekend. We knew they had been coming to Solvang for a few years, so I googled around and discovered this was their 11th anniversary. 

The town is filled with hounds...and they all seem to be mellow. All the dogs were racers and all have been adopted by folks who absolutely dote on them. 

They have purchased large vehicles to transport one or two or four of these long legged dogs to and fro. This was on the back of a van.

Other windows sport decals such as these: Adopt a Greyhound

Or Fast Dog

Or save a greyhound. There were other decals too...too many to mention in fact. Footprints, and pictures, and tattoos. We enjoy watching these gentle dogs and their people walk around Solvang. Since we are leaving on Monday, I'm glad we were able to see them again this year.
