Offices up for Grabs ... er Election:

The proposal below describes the GREYTEST ENTERPRISE in Greyhound (aka Inflated Iggies) and Italian Greyhound (Deflated Doggies) joint history:

In the opinion of many Americans there is hardly anyone on the human political scene qualified to become President. The leader of our country is the leader of the free world. That office is so important. Therefore…it is up to the Greyhound and Italian Greyhound worlds to remedy the situation.

Your dogs are all potential candidates. What is suggested below are two slates of contenders: 1. Primarily Greyhounds (Biggy Iggies) and Primarily Italian Greyhounds (Deflated Doggies). Many of you live with canine geniuses who excel at stealing, swiping, shredding and stashing. Those are the very qualities that historically elect a President. Most of your hounds are too lazy to actually take on the Presidency….but my guess is that many of you live with photogenic canine politicans who would be an improvement on the current human crop of politicians. Your dogs are sure to do a better job than most of the human dogs currently in Congress.

Voting will take place in November of 2012. Voting will not be free. It will cost you $1 to vote. It will go on for an entire month. All votes for this election will benefit either Halfway Home Greyhound Adoption (if you vote for a Greyhound) or The Italian Greyhound Rescue Foundation (the unfortunate group that will be blamed for this whole fiasco). Over the past year over 900 IGs have entered IGCA Rescue which is funded by IGRF. In spite of our best efforts….during some months we pay more in vet bills than we take in. That situation is depleting our savings. The Iggies need help. These little dogs need every cent we can raise. Halfway Home Greyhound adoption takes responsibility for hauling Greyhounds from Greyhound Farms and delivering them to various adoption groups throughout the country. This is an expensive operation. The Greyhounds of Greyhound Rescue likewise deserve and need our support!!!! I have yet to meet a human who measures up to a dog in character! We owe our BEST FRIENDS all the help we can give them.

So please get on the political bandwagon and sign your dog up for a political office. Choose one of the offices below for your Best Friend. ALL your dogs are welcome…no matter what the breed! Please send your pix to Marlene Norton at:

in jpg format. Don’t use any AKC names….only call names (example: IGGY Gracie Longhouse or BIGGY McDu Jones. Please place the word, IGGY, before the name of your small dog or Italian Greyhound or BIGGY before the name of your big dog or Greyhound. Whether or not your dog is really an IG or a Greyhound or a Whippet or a Borzoi or a Mutt is moot. Nobody cares. They’re ALL con-artists…uh… candidates. However, a vote for a designated IGGY dog will guarantee $1 for IGRF and a vote for a BIGGY dog will guarantee $1 for HHGA). Once your perpetrator…er pup….is listed feel free to lobby for votes. This election is going to have no ethics, morals or any hint of honesty. No holds will be barred. It’s gonna be a REAL political election. Only one dog will be elected per office and that will be the dog that garners the most votes. This election will involve dogs from all walks of life. Molly Waterman, the mutt, even plans to run as an IG (Molly is 1/200th an Italian Greyhound ). She thinks that she’s already locked up the last office listed below. Get signed up. This site is destined to become famous!!! Every human politician will be looking to us for advice, guidance and expert political strategy!!!!
