Nigel has a good heart and the best intentions, no matter what you may read here. Sure, I make him out to be the bad guy: but it’s just a smokescreen. In fact, he’s even been known to go off and commit good deeds if I don’t keep a close eye on him When he has the energy, of course. He may have ventured off the sofa three or four times today for a snack or a walk. It will take him the rest of the day to recover. Think I’m exaggerating? Go ahead, ask any Greyhound owner.
Yet he’s on the move. He’s everywhere. Each time I fire up the laptop these days, I’m greeted by a post or message with a picture attached. Someone should film me as I encounter these, because I’m usually left laughing until my face hurts. What’s so funny? It might be easier to show you than to explain. We’ll get to that in a moment. For a better understanding of how it all began start here to see the original. Subsequent (limited, there are only 24 11 5 left) prints have been popping up all over the place, to the dismay of cats the world over. Donations to A Place to Bark (from print sale proceeds) have now exceeded a thousand dollars. Kathleen Coy and FOBS did a great job with the project, and their continued efforts have been far too entertaining to keep to myself. So I won’t.
Let’s see what happens when his best friends (and the best fans on the planet) take him out and about. He may very well find himself…
Of course, antics like these can wear on a hound, so after a long journey, he likes to pop into the vet and have a little work done!
Could there possibly be more? By all means, but that will have to wait for next week, when we’ll follow Nigel to Jamaica, and watch him try to push his luck again on a trip to Vegas. Rumor has it there may even be a celebrity appearance. Any guesses?

Oh Nigel, I had no idea you were such a jet setter and philanthropist.
I am speechless. Truly a wonderful story. Two of my best friends are Italian Greyhounds, Oliver and Targa, and I definitely have a soft spot in my heart for Greyhounds too. You are a very, very special dog Nigel.
your cat pal,
Bruce:)
Go, Nigel. I guess that’s kind of extraneous. You’re going all the time. And sleeping on the couch at the same time, maybe? You’ve really got it figure out, Nigel.
wags, Lola
You are have been busy.:)

I’m worn out just looking at all the places Nigel has gone to! I can’t imagine how exhausted he may be! BOL
You had me looking … (around the corner) April Fools’ was yesterday and I’m not fool ever. BOL Loved the indisposed one too.
Wait, I almost forgot: No comment 😉
Twinkie
That is so cute!!! I better look in the other room…he might be on my couch!!!
Love, love, LOVE Flat Nigels adventures!! This whole project has been all sorts of fun from start to finish.
As of right now, only 19 Flat Nigels left. I can’t wait to see where he’ll turn up next!
Thanks to all for supporting art and dog rescue!

WOW talk about getting around! And I thought greyhounds were couch potatoes, Nigel you are proving your breed all wrong! But it does tell us just how much you are loved and appreciated!
That Nigel certainly does get around, doesn’t he?
Wow, the Nigel Buggers appreciation society is in full swing!
Dip Bridge and Elliot xx

Nigel, such the mover and shaker. Geez, being surrounded by cats (aliens) would really freak me out!
Stella
‘Flat Nigel’ is a real jet-setter! Really racking up those frequent flyer miles.
Yes well travelled and a great car, or that was a dream.
That is awesome.. such a well traveled dog!!!
Well, for a couch potato Nigel sure gets around! Good job raising funds.
I always pegged you as a world traveler Nigel!
Smileys!
Dory
That boy sure do get around!
Much better than that silly gnome.
Hey have you gone to all of the GABE blogs to sign up for all the pressie giveaways??? You won’t believe all the stuff!!! I want to win EVERYTHING!!!
Oh! And to think we know this famous dog! Well, by blog anyway. Have fun Nigel!
What a great travelogue! It must be nice to be famous, Nigel.
Nigel, come to Italy. We will seduce you with all the excellent wine, food and of course, the hot looking Italian girls. Do you like Monica Belluci???
Love,
Homer
Nigel, we heard you got around, but that’s ridiculous!

El’bow & Hauwii
wow… don’t let the fame go to your head Nigel…oh wait, there’s a surgeon doing that already!
You are so famous because you are so cool! What is your secret?
I wonder if he’ll make it to Pawsylvania?
Hugz&Khysses,
Khyra
Absolutely hysterical!
We’ve enjoyed a lot of Nigel’s travels and we know he’ll go far! Heck, just thinking about getting off the couch three or four times a day wears our greyhounds out. We definitely agree with that statement. Nigel is a one of a kind, larger than life fellow, and I suspect doors anda all kinds of other things will always open for him!
