Winslow's Holiday Greeting!

Greetings!

As you can see, Winslow is very busy celebrating the holidays early. He's already opening packages, lighting candles, singing songs, etc. He believes every day is a holiday and he gets particularly excited about it from November thru February. I think we might all be better off if we did the same.

Winslow has created his video greeting card and would like to share it with you.

Here's the link:

Wishing all a happy, healthy holiday season..

THANK YOU FOR HELPING THE HOUNDS SO GENEROUSLY IN 2009!

Love,

Craig, Glynis, and Winslow, "Is that package for MEEE?"

Winslow's Mystery Box

Good Afternoon!

It's that time again! The Hope For Hounds Auction is up and in full swing!

Winslow has donated a mystery box, filled with his merchandise and a painting!

He is very proud of this and says the size of the painting will be determined on the size of the winning bid! Here's your chance.. Bid high and get a really nice original masterpiece by Winslow.

http://2houndsdesign.com/cgi-bin/2hounds.pl?category=GBA

There is a lot of good stuff, so look around, place a bid and enjoy.. Proceeds go to OSU, so your money goes to a good cause. This is simply the best way to shop for holidays.

Gotta go, Winslow is packing more stuff into the mystery box.

THANKS FOR HELPING THE HOUNDS!

Love, Winslow ( and his ever faithful typist, Glynis)

The POOP BAG RAFFLE IS OVER!

Yes, that's right! We have a winner! Her name is Robin and she's from Canada! If you know her, please congratulate her on the big win!

The poop bag fell today, October 7, 2009. Robin chose Oct. 12, 2009.... very close!

The poop bag was there this morning, but FINALLY, the high winds were just too much for it!

By the time I came home from swimming, it was gone.

I'm glad to see it go, but happy that it raised 195. to help the hounds.

Thanks to all who chose dates! You are all very special and during times of hardship you came through and really helped the hounds!

My mom is going to do a farewell tribute to the poopbag when she comes home from her trip. You can start looking for it after Oct. 20. I hope to play a part in that as well!

Until next time!

LOVE,

Winslow

Summer Update

Good Morning!

It's been a wild summer of ups and downs. Winslow had a tumor on his toe which is now gone, healed, and not coming back. He tested positive for Lyme and did the whole medication thing. Fortunately he wasn't bothered by it and is back to his normal self, swimming, painting and supervising life here at home. Today, he's on the deck with his houseguests from England, sipping tea and sharing stories.

Winslow has submitted two paintings to the Greyhound Angel Network auction:

http://2houndsdesign.com/cgi-bin/2hounds.pl?category=GBA

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN A FULL SIZE WINSLOW ORIGINAL PAINTING! Complete with 3 photos of Winslow actually making that painting!

Greyhound Angel Network does many good things for the houndies. It is one of Winslow's favorite charities!

Also, If you have ever followed the ADVENTURES OF CROCHETED WINSLOW on GT,
http://forum.greytalk.com/index.php?showtopic=226304&st=0
Now is your chance to own your own CROCHETED WINSLOW! Yep, Winslow Jr. needs a forever home! He is also being auctioned in the GAN Auction. Please take a look.

Lastly, the poopbag is still in the tree and we are still taking guesses for it's demise. There is a paypal button below (drop down to previous posts) if you are feeling lucky. All the proceeds go to charity, as always.

Please check all the good things on this auction! Bid high and often!
Winslow says "THANKS FOR HELPING THE HOUNDS" (in a British accent).

Until next time!

Crocheted Winslow

Good Morning!

As you know (if you have been following the adventures of Crocheted Winslow on GT), The Crocheted Winslow is now in his forever home with the real Winslow. It was a long journey, but he's home. As it turns out, Crocheted Winslow has a family! They are going to their forever home via a raffle. Just like Crocheted Winslow, they are looking for someone to love them and care for them.
They are adorable hounds, don't eat much, house trained, and although they have issues, it's not what you think.. They are cat safe and don't have SA. They are up to date on everything and ready to go!

Here's the information:
http://www.gafpixiehounds.com/

Winslow says: "Thanks for helping the hounds!

Also, the poopbag is still in the tree and tickets are still being sold. Every dollar helps a hound in need. The paypal button is below.

Love,
Winslow and his mom (servant, secretary, assistant, and general slave)

Winslow's Collection Fleece Jackets!--Poopbag Raffle Continues.

Hey Everyone,

As we all know, Winslow is always looking for new ways to support his charities.. Well, now he's teamed up with Carol of http://www.greyhoundfleecejackets.com/!!

Carol has designed a line of fleece jackets for the hounds based on Winslow's favorite polar fleece! We are happy to announce that 5.00 from each jacket will be split between GAN, OSU, and GAF-(we share with GAF because Carol belongs to that group and it wouldn't be fair of Winslow to take all the money for his own causes.. Sharing is a good thing!)

Now, you may think 5.00 isn't a lot of money, but these jackets are very reasonable, making it a substantial donation on the part of Carol, who is doing all the work! In these times every little bit helps. Please support Carol and check out her coats! If everyone buys one, that donation could get really big!

The poopbag is still in the tree! It's skinny and flapping around in the breeze. Get those tickets!
Someday, someone will win that painting! Below is a paypal link to buy your tickets! At 1.00 each, it's a good donation to charity and it's fun to watch it on Greytalk... in the auction page.
We are anxiously awaiting for springtime.. daffodils and all the other flowers that Winslow enjoys sniffing (and watering!).
Have a good day! Thanks for helping the hounds!
Glynis and Winslow

Poopbag in the Tree- New Raffle!

Hello Everyone!
On Feb 12, we were having very high winds. 50 mph. gusts. During the night, Winslow had to go out, and since he was too far from the poop disposal can, we brought it home and left it on the side of the house. The next morning, I thought I was seeing a hawk or an eagle. Nope, it is Winslow's poop bags. Well, I felt bad for littering, but the bags are about 5 stories up, so I'm not going up there. They are biodegradable bags, so eventually they will disappear and the poop will fall to earth. Then I thought why shouldn't this be something GOOD! You know, lemons, lemonade.. that whole thing.I spoke to Winslow and we came up with a POOP RAFFLE! For $1.00 you can buy a date that the poop bag will disappear from the tree. The raffle will end when the bag falls or is otherwise removed from the tree. Whoever has the right date will win a 4 x 6 inch WINSLOW ORIGINAL PAINTING, as shown below.

Pretty good for just a dollar, right? In the event that more than one person picks the right date, there will be a random drawing (names in a hat) for the winner. As always, 100% of Winslow's money goes to charity. (GAN and OSU).
Use the button below to make your donation. Please fill in the DATE BOX with your choice of month, date, and year that you think the bag will come down. DON'T FORGET TO FILL IN YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE AND EMAIL.
Happy Valentines Day!
Thanks for helping the hounds!

Winslow as "Loved Hound"

Dear Friends,

As many of you know, Winslow has been cancer free for 2 years. To celebrate this (and his upcoming 9th BIRTHDAY!) Our good friend Diane Jackson

(http://www.burpdog-biscuits.com/ )

won the "Loved Hound" from the GREYHOUND GANG auction.

http://www.greyhoundgang.org/lovedhoundjan.php

We hope that you will go and see Winslow's page. While you are there, browse this very interesting site. There's a lot of stuff, stories, contests and auctions. Claudia is a very interesting person. She too is "all about the hounds". Please give the site some of your time (and maybe buy, bid, or enter a contest, too!)

We're all in this together.

Winslow says "Thanks for helping the hounds!"

Wishing all a HEALTHY and Happy New Year!

Greetings, Friends and Fans!

We are very proud to announce the Winslow T Shirt!
I didn't think this would happen because photo t shirts never seem to look good.
But a wonderful artist-Benjamin Hicks III came to the rescue! His likeness of Winslow
is amazing!
He designed artwork that not only captures WINSLOW, but also brings attention to the cause!

We love it so much! When Winslow saw it, he just said WOW!

This very cool Tshirt comes in White or Blue. Size SM thru XXL.
Great over a turtleneck for winter or to wear alone in the warmer climates.
High quality Jerzees brand 50/50 so there's no shrinking.
For a price of $20.00 you can let everyone know that you are supporting Winslow and his cause, to fight Greyhound cancer!

There are only 3 original Winslow paintings currently in circulation. This is your chance to own an original! (Complete with photos of Winslow creating that painting).

There are a bunch of other fabulous items in the auction as well. Proceeds benefit GREYHOUND ANGEL NETWORK , a fabulous cause that helps sick and injured hounds!

"Thanks for stoppin' by, y'all!"

Winslow's new notecards!

FINALLY! The new notecards are here! Same price- $10 for all 5 with shipping thrown in by Winslow's mom and dad. There is a paypal button at the bottom of this post. (If you click on the photo, it gets really big so you can read everything).

NOTE: The card with the painting has a small color picture inside of Winslow creating that painting. It's the same photo that appears on Winslow's 3 panel photo, below.

Winslow's good news: He went to the vet for his check up.. ALL CLEAR. Winslow has been cancer free for 18 months. We are all very happy! So happy in fact, that I (Winslow's mom) made a little slide show. I used music that could probably get me into trouble if I posted the link publicly. But, it was just so good, I had to do it. SO, if anyone wants to see Winslow's slide show, you can email me at glynisberger@hotmail.com and I'll send it to you. No fees, you don't have to buy anything. It's just a cute little thing I did... (GAN and OSU have nothing to do with it and didn't approve it). Now, that should be enough with the disclaimers.

OTHER GOOD NEWS! Marilyn's Auction is now up! There is a painting by Winslow in the auction. Someone paid $1200. for it last year (Yep, $1200.) had it framed and DONATED it back to the auction. I (Winslow's mom) also have a painting in the auction called "Last Margarita"... Winslow also donated a package that has notecards, postcards and a stuffie.
WE URGE YOU TO GO THERE AND BID. A good auction for a good cause! Here's the link:
http://www.2houndsdesign.com/cgi-bin/2hounds.pl?category=GBA

If you haven't subscribed to this blog yet, you should. It will keep you informed of all things coming and when we figure out how to do it, there will be some subscriber specials. It's free and we don't do ugly things with your email address. Promise.

Love, Winslow

THE NOTECARDS ARE HERE!!!!!

Winslow's note card assortment is finally here! There are 5 glossy notecards, featuring some of Winslow's favorite photos (and sentiments) suitable for most occasions. We have written the caption that is inside each card, below the photo. (Please keep in mind that this is a photo of the actual card, shot without flash because the cards are glossy. They really look better than the photo).

I just discovered that if you click on the photo, it gets really big.

These cards measure 4&1/4 by 5 &1/2 (standard notecard size) and are glossy high quality cardstock. They come with white envelopes.

The price for these cards is $10.00 for the set of 5 cards. Winslow's parents are still covering shipping, so they're quite the bargain! You can't buy 'em anywhere else! It's all for the hounds, so it's really special! The paypal button below goes directly to GAN, who will share your money with OSU.... Now really, you just can't beat it!

If you are new to Winslow's shop, scroll down to see our other items! If you subscribe by email, you will be notified when we add new items. (We won't do mean things with your email address). Sometime in the future, there's going to be a perk for being a subscriber... We just have to get Winslow to figure out what that will be. It's free, and worth it.

"Thanks for helping the hounds!"

Love Winslow

Your purchase is tax deductible. Thank you for helping the hounds.
Love, Winslow
