“These are my pink nose holes!”

This is Mr. Tee and he is one big squishy love bug. There is so much I adore about this silly guy, but one of my most favourite features on his face is his cute little

nostrils!

In case you are curious, Mr. Tee is a Treeing Walker Coonhound crossed with a greyhound. The combination makes him a “lurcher”, bred for the purpose of swim racing in the U.S. We fell in love with him at first sight from the American Lurcher Project Facebook Page. Following his story, we finally broke down — we couldn’t take it any longer and just knew we had to be the ones to provide his forever home. We have adopted all of our dogs through Northern Sky Greyhounds and they graciously arranged transport of this giant goofball up to us in Northern Alberta.

Essentially, he looks like someone blew up a Beagle! He is our living breathing cartoon character, so silly and very “ungreyhoundlike”. So his little pink nostrils absolutely delight me because of how well they lend themselves to his kooky larger-than-life character.

You won’t find a snugglier sleeping companion than Tee-bone. But be prepared “to strap yourself in and feel the G’s” when you take him for a walk! He is so excited about life, wanting to snuffle the world in through those little piggy nose holes.

I love him!
