David Beckham is upset at the closure of a greyhound race track in his native East London - because it’s where he had his first job.
The Los Angeles Galaxy star was employed as a youth at Walthamstow Greyhound Racing Stadium, near his birthplace of Leytonstone, but the venue is due to close after failing to make enough profit to cover costs.
The final race took place at the stadium on Friday - and Beckham is one of many mourning the loss of the famed racing grounds.

So, we had Bodhi spayed yesterday & we found out what kind of dog she is!! She is an Italian Greyhound mix! People have been saying that she looks like a greyhound since we got her & we thought "yeah sure, ok".

Check out www.thelittleprophet.org! A new photo of Micah the Italian Greyhound goes up daily...he goes on outdoor adventures, causes trouble, and sometimes gets in over his head. These are artful photos that go beyond "snapshot" status, but the personality of Micah is always front and center.

Dogs were one of the first animals domesticated by humans and have been domesticated for some 10,000 years.
The Saluki, the name deriving from the Arabic word meaning ‘noble one', is the oldest known breed of dog. In ancient Egypt, they were bred as hunting dogs.

She looked more like a timid child clinging to her protector than an Ohio teen runaway brazen enough to flee her Muslim family out of fear for her life.
The girl, who turned 17 on Monday, is at the center of a custody dispute in Orlando, where she sought help from a family she barely knew -- a pastor and his wife willing to take in a teen who feared her own family's retribution because she converted to Christianity.
The Orlando Sentinel is not identifying the teen because of her age.

I received the following email from the DNC today. I couldn't help myself - I wrote a nasty response back. I can't believe anyone thinks this kind of crap is okay to send out.

Driver Abandons Busload of Ex-Prisoners at Store
by The Associated Press
CORSICANA, Texas (AP) — A driver who apparently took her work rules very seriously abandoned a bus full of former prisoners along a highway because her hours for the day were over, police said.
The 40 passengers had been paroled or released from the state prison in Huntsville.
