St. Dennis Church, Galena, Maryland |
Falco is an eight-year-old male greyhound who lives with his owners, George and Terry, on the scenic eastern shore of Maryland. He is a goofy, spoiled, often temperamental boy who will occasionally impress us with 40 mph bursts of energy. Usually, however, he is content to curl up on the couch. Here are some of his travels and adventures.

Here's Mud in Your Eye!
Falco has proven to be an accident-prone boy. Even a quiet morning walk can be an adventure. This morning Falco and I were strolling around town when he discovered one of his favorite treats on the lawn of St. Dennis Church -- cat poop! (Vigilant as we are, he never fails to root out -- and chow down on! -- some stinky, gooey cat poop. He can find it anywhere.) I pulled back on his leash at precisely the time Falco grabbed the objectionable stuff, resulting in the poop being flung up in the air and directly into his left eye! I tried vainly to wipe it out but succeeded only in smearing it in even more deeply. I was afraid of Falco developing an eye infection, so we walked directly to the vet's office about three blocks away. Dr. Otero was a great sport, examining Falco immediately and cleaning and disinfecting the crap-filled eye. Luckily, Falco suffered no ill effects, but neither has his little mishap lessened his enthusiasm for his favorite treat.
