We will be headed to the MSGAO Reunion this weekend. If you have never been it is a great time for humans and hounds. Spend the afternoon with friends watching the races and then spend the evening with your hounds and friends.
There will be vendors and lots and lots of auction items available. It’s a great time watching your hounds watch the other hounds at the races.

After all of the attention the hounds were split up and went home with their foster parents to learn about retirement life. The dogs were all great and will make their new forever homes very happy!

Happy 4th everybody! Take the time today to remember those who gave us our freedoms!
For a look at new design ideas check out our Facebook page. That is the place to go to see new design ideas before they are printed. I also will put up ideas to get feedback on what you would like to see.

I have been working on some art lately that I will be donating to the Southland Reunion silent auction and the GPA Nashville auction. I have decided I am going to start creating and donating artwork for all of the events I attend. To bid on the posters you must be at the events (sorry). While I do mostly T-shirts to offer on the site I am having lots of fun creating these posters, and I have more ideas for art, so if you are looking for something to hang on your walls make sure you check back. You can also follow Couch Rocket on Facebook for sneak peaks at new art that is in the works.
The other photo is a new shirt that will be printed soon. One of my friends from Mountain Hounds wanted me to work up a design with Greyhounds and the Union Jack Flag. This is how the design turned out and will be printed on a black T. when they are finished they will be up in the shop.
Let me know what you think of the designs and follow Couch Rocket of Facebook and Twitter for more up to date information, ask any questions you may have or just to say hello.

Tomorrow marks the start of our annual trip to Mountain Hounds! If you haven’t been Mountain Hounds it is held the weekend after Memorial Day every year in Gatlinburg in the Great Smoky Mountains. It is 4 days of fun including games for Hounds and Humans alike, cookouts, Hound walks through Gatlinburg, shopping and of course socializing! The event is put on by Greyhound Friends of North Carolina and proceeds from the silent auction go to help their group. I have donated a shirt, hat and sticker as well as the framed art you see above to help their cause!
If you haven’t been you should check it out! If you are heading there this week have a great time and enjoy the fun and friendship.

Our group also received some of hounds from the Victoryland track in Florida. Victoryland for those who don’t know has shut-down (suspended) racing for now and the forseeable future. We will work hard as always to find these wonderful Greyhounds their forever homes.
On this Memorial Day I would like to take a moment to say THANK YOU to all of those that have served or are serving our wonderful country. We appreciate all that you have sacrificed in order for us to enjoy or safety and Freedom!
As always Hug Those Hounds.
