GALTx eNews: 2024 Holiday For The Hounds Auction

We need you to make our 2024 Holiday for Hounds Auction a huge success for the hounds! Bidding opens November 1 and runs through November 10, 2024. Proceeds will help us cover the expenses related to veterinary care for our new arrivals, especially for those hounds that come to us with injuries, tick-borne diseases, heartworm, and other parasites.

Please consider shopping for some of your holiday gifts here to help our Injured Reserve hounds, like Millie, Mick, Nollie, Ruby and Charlie. Mick, Nollie, Ruby and Charlie all have heartworm and need to complete their medical treatments before finding a forever home. Millie is receiving chemotherapy for cancer. If you don't need more treasures, you can still help by making one or more $25 donations to our Mick & Friends Holiday FAN (Fund-A-Need) Club.

In addition to stunning greyhound-themed art, jewelry, accessories, and home goods, this auction also offers several gift cards and other “non-dog" items that might make great gifts for some of your friends and family. Bidding on these 46 wonderful auction lots is a gift to the hounds, whether you place the winning bid or a bid that inspires someone to bid higher!

Many thanks to all of the donors, bidders and volunteers who have participated in all of GALT's online auctions this year. Let's make this last 2024 auction the best ever!

Bid Here!

Hey yall!! Introducing one of my favorite pieces of the last few years, Sea Oddity: a repeating pattern of hand drawn and watercolor rendered jellyfish, horseshoe crabs, nudibranchs, and sea monkeys. (repeating watermark added just to be safe <3)

I uploaded it to Spoonflower last year as part of the assignment I made it for, and now it's publicly available to purchase on there as well as on my brand new Society6 shop! If you want a little sea critter print or some fabric to make a sea critter sewing project, this might be the perfect one!

have you ever done any …… stickers … or would you consider making any? /genq

(i love your art so much:333)

aah thank you! :-) i HAVE made stickers before, but they were handmade & took a long time to do & i eventually went outta stock (twas before dog clarified that manufactured merch was okay)

^ super tiny because i didnt have a laminator & used packing tape for the seal. baby chibi ging

i have ABSOLUTELY considered making higher quality stickers but i am very aware of the effects i have on peoples wallets as well as my own... & if there will ever be any official stickers, ofc. making art meant for merch is genuinely one of my FAVORITE kinds of art to make

im not even kidding when i say im always rotating ideas for different types of merch. a reusable sticker book (wax pages) that comes with a bonus sticker sheet. ticket booth standee with jerry. choose your own character standees! ETC ETC

ive been well before the idea of a makeship randy was even pitched & it makes me SO happy to see how far its come now :-] joyous to fill the merch ecosystem with cheaper goods

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year From Hanna-Barbera Productions, Inc

Merry Christmas/Happy Birthday to Minjun!!!

Haechan: Since it's Christmas and also my baby boy's birthday, I wanted to throw him a birthday party!! *smiles*

Taeyong: I'm sure he'll love it, Hyuck.

Haechan: Thank you, hyung. *smiles and turns to the rest with Minjun in arms* Shall we get this party started?

Maknae line: Yes!!

With a squeal of excitement, Minjun sees all the balloons that all his uncles had blown up and decorated the pack house with. A few designed with teddy bears— per Haechan's request.

"Now I really want everyone to please behave. It's Minjunnie's first birthday and I swear I will hang someone if it goes wrong." Haechan says with the most sweetest, and deadly smile he could muster as he glared towards the four hounds huddled away from them.

Renjun and Mark chuckled as they had on Santa hats, "Don't worry, dude. Everything will go by fine." Mark reassures him.

As the night went on, and the cake in the shape of a teddy bear was cut and served after Minjun blew out his candles, everyone was in the living room with a cup of hot chocolate— Minjun with his own sippy cup of warm milk, courtesy of Changkyun for being in a good mood that day.

"Alright, alright, alright," Haechan says trying to get everyone's attention.

"Yes, Mr. Matthew McConaughey?" Hanbin asks with a snicker as he was sat next to Kai and Lucas.

Haechan only glared at him as he held Minjun in his lap on the floor. A silent slice of his neck indicating for him to shut it or else. "Now, Minjun will open his presents first since he's the pup of the pack." He says with a smile as he kissed his son on the top of his head. "Ready buddy?" He asks softly to him as Jeno passes Minjun a wrapped box that had Pokémon characters all over it.

With a small nod of his head, the small one year old smiles with his binky in mouth. Small hands slapping down on the box as he giggled happily seeing his favorite TV show as the wrapping. "Baby, you need to rip the paper." Haechan laughs seeing his son hug the box. "Stop hugging the box and just-"

*RIP*

"Yes! There you go!"

Everyone cooed at how adorable the youngest hell hound was with opening his gifts. Let's also not forget how the older hounds that peered over actually melted a bit at the sight of the young pup emitting such happiness.

"Did you really buy a one year old a jeep?" Chenle asks Chanyeol who shrugged as he sipped at his hot chocolate that Baekhyun spiked.

"It's a Mercedes. I didn't know what you get a one year old."

As everyone got to open their gifts and mingle with their partners that had come for the celebration in family, Haechan hugged his one year old as he kissed his cheek. "I love you, my sweet sweet boy~" He coos to Minjun who smiled at his father's love and affection. "Happy birthday, Minjunnie."

Admin note: Minjun a few months old on the left vs. Minjun at 1 year old on the right ❣️

Postcards from Snagglepuss

Wrapping up some rather fascinating diving down Iowa way

ON WEST LAKE OKOBOJI, IOWA: With the Minnesota State Fair not that far off, it was getting time to wrap up our summer diving escapades with the Three Wolves and the Divin' Wolf Pups, no doubt rather fascinating, to the point of refreshing even!!

And to make things especially fascinating, the Hair Bear Bunch decided to join along with us for a final day of diving escapades.

"Nonetheless," Hair Bear observed, "you have to consider that we bears like our diving to be of the breath hold sort, more or less!"

To which Bubi chimed in, "You have to count on the clyde, just holding the breath and just seeing the wonder to be had underwater, the sheer fascination of it all!"

"I assume Bubi was saying that diving couldn't be more fascinating to us bears!" responded Square Bear.

"And no doubt the bear is right!" chimed in Hokey Wolf, more or less the lupine dive leader, even allowing for Loopy De Loop's charm and sophistication tending to be of Quebecoise origins (and such all the while excusing his desire to challenge lupine stereotypes of the sadisto, vicious sort of wolf) and Mildew Wolf's legendary wit and snark.

"Snagglepuss," Huckleberry Hound chimed in, "I just have to hand it to those wolves and bears for being in such interesting company."

"Of the underwater sort," saith I. And with that, down we went into such remarkably clear and divable waters in such an unusual locale as northern Iowa ... diving to a depth of some 50 feet, at which point we were led into a "friendship circle" underwater, just the eight of us in all, and what a mystic sort of fascination came over us.

Not to mention arousal and sensations between the legs for some reason or another!

=============

Towards the evening ... while the farewells with the lupine contingent may have been on the bittersweet side, the Hair Bear Bunch, for some reason, decided to take in the camper life during the Minnesota State Fair forthcoming.

"The company couldn't get to be more interesting," Huckleberry Hound remarked, prompting Hair Bear to remark that, even with a state fairgrounds as the venue, "such couldn't hold a candle to Camp Volkswagen--which is what we call our bivouac by the side of such lakes we camp besides during our road trips and hold orgies for two or three nights beside same."

"Yeahhhhh," Square Bear chimed in sheepishly, "just to feel the ursine-type LOVE, and do I mean LOVE!!!"

"Apologies there, Snag and Huck," Hair Bear remarked, "but Square Bear is bound to get a little too ahead of himself on occasion, especially during the bear mating season and imagining the sort of love discoveries we're bound to go through!"

"So, at any event," Huck remarked, "just to give you some semblance of directions--"

At any rate, next time around will begin another year at the Minnesota State Fair with yours truly ... and with such interesting guests as the Hair Bear Bunch, even!

I wish I could express myself through the visual art form bc sometimes I can't find the words. I'm experiencing that very specific undoing of your personhood that you only experience in your childhood home surrounded by family. that visceral feeling of generational trauma. bc I had a mini tirade thinking about my mother, and I watched her seethe quietly while looking at her mother. anyway I wish I could illustrate this bc it's like, the first time you swallow your pain it grows into this box inside you. and you carve it out of yourself and it is your trauma, and then you open it and it's another box that is your mother's trauma, and you open it and it's another box that is her mother's trauma, and so on and so forth, forever until the beginning of time. Idk what I'm trying to say with this but. for you all who get it, you get it.
