Loved this newsletter! My lurcher, Star, tries to play "bitey-face" with my other two but Foggy (blind lurcher) is, understandably, unimpressed and Eagle (neurotic greyhound) is frankly alarmed! It doesn't stop her trying though!
Also loved the story of Lupin and how he sits and does other tricks. I've had mixed results with my greyhounds - some sit and give a paw for a treat with ease and others just glaze over. I also noticed in your final photo that the grown-up Lupin is now one of five, as opposed to three when he was a pup. You're nuts! - but in the best possible way.
