Sunday, March 1st: Spur-Of-The-Moment, Otherwise Unscheduled, Unofficial Greyhound Walk - OSU Campus, Corvallis
Where: Oregon State University Campus
When: Sunday, March 1st, 2026 @ 1 PM
Let's enjoy a beautiful (according to the weather app forecast, anyway!) afternoon strolling the tree-lined walkways of the OSU Campus. This will be a flat, non-strenuous walk with an opportunity to pause for coffee at the campus Dutch Bros if we so desire. Total time of the walk will be approximately 1 hour.
...and we'll likely see a few Starships rolling around the campus, delivering food to the unambitious Sunday college students. 😉
We'll meet at 1:00 at the McNary Field parking lot (the "banana-shaped" lot), one half-block north of 14th & Monroe (see map below). See you there!

Your Pet's Microchip May Now Be Useless After Chip Company Goes Out Of Business
You may think your pets are protected with microchips, but that might not be the case. One of the country's largest microchip companies went down the tubes a year ago, and the company took its registry of owners with it. Local shelters continue to find lost pets with unregistered chips, which are now useless to help reunite the animals with their owners.

When: February 15th, Sunday, @ 1:30 PM
Where: Hendricks Park 2198 Summit Ave Eugene, OR 97403 Let's enjoy a walk in Eugene's oldest city park. Hendrick's park is located in southeast Eugene, east of the University of Oregon.

Hendricks Park is up in the hills, and this walk will include
some climbs--mostly gradual rather than steep--but climbing nonetheless. |

How Fast Can Dogs Run?
When you think of the fastest animals on earth, what do you think of? The cheetah? Gazelle? Peregrine falcon? Maybe a Thoroughbred racehorse? But have you ever thought about including the dog in that collection?
When it comes to how fast dogs can run, one particular breed stands out. Greyhounds have been known to run at an astonishing 45 miles per hour—and it’s not just top speed: many Greyhounds can hit over 43 miles per hour in just four-tenths of a mile, reaching a maximum acceleration of 9 miles per hour in approximately two seconds.
