Royal Members of Queen Gracie's Court
Macey's Royal Attendant is Kirsten Salayko
|
Sir Kestrel His Royal Attendant is Pamela Benus My Dearest Queen, |
|
Dear Kestrel, considering your hard life and the fact that unlike Georgie, you don't steal toys, I now appoint you Sir Kestrel and you are an honored member of my Royal Court. This should elevate your status with the Whippets and they will now beg you to play.Yes, I am beautiful and now you see for yourself that your hunch was right and I am kind. Her Royal Highness, Queen Gracie
|
|
Dictated by Whippet Sage, As a model yourself I'm sure you realize
what a pain he is after seeing the pictures. BTW my eyes are fine.
My photographer was incompetent..so hard to find good help as
you probably know. |
|
Dear Whippet Sage, although I can understand your frustration, NO ONE questions the Queen! I was going to say, "Off with your head!" but your speed and accomplishment have saved you from that fate. And, in thinking it over, I admire your courage, so I hereby appoint you Earl Sage. Her Royal Highness, Queen Gracie |
| Your Royal Highness, I humbly submit this picture of myself so that I may be included among your courtiers. I hope all the positions are not already filled. Sincerely, Charlie Oliver CGC TDI |
|
Dear Charlie Oliver, your
beauty shows clearly in the pic and
I can do nothing else Her Royal Highness, |
| I've attached a photo of myself, Maximilian
(Max forshort and Mom says it should be MaxiMillion becauseI'm a
rescue and I've cost her so much). I'm prettysure I should be part
of Gracie's court (and NOT thejester either!) because I'm such a
good boy. I'm 100% potty trained and I'm always really nice to the fosterdogs that come to stay with us (even if I don't likethem). I used to be a foster dog myself so I know how hard it is! Anyway, I promise to give Gracie half of a chewie and two pig ears if she'll let me into her Kingdom. Max |
|
Dear Max, Your tolerance of fosters and your impeccable potty habits are commendable, indeed,but the promise of half of a chewie and the two pig ears have surely won you a place in my Royal Court. I hereby appoint you Duke Maximillian. And, the fact that you're so handsome was absolutely a consideration.
Her Royal Highness, Queen Gracie |
|
I wish to join Queen Gracie's Court. I'm
sending two pics, one to show my regal beauty and the other to
demonstrate my ability to command my subjects. I think I would
be a great asset to Queen Gracie because I know how to keep my
humans in line. I can defend her Nero aka "King Furooki" with the help of Jocelyn |
|
Dear Nero, Hmmm......I don't know where to begin... I am extremaly impressed at your de-stuffing abilities and your ability to keep humans in line would definitely take care of my Mom when she tells those ghastly stories about me.And, you're soooo handsome! Well, with no further ado, I hereby appoint you Count Nero. And, I AM looking forward to the new tricks. ;) Her Royal Highness, Queen Gracie |
| Ahem... introducing Mr.Peabody and SherMAN
(all man, or so his daddy says), who is not yet emboldened enough to reveal himself to the Queen (prefering to stay under the blanket). Mr. Peabody, on the other hand, doth totally giveth himself over unto Her Royal Highness. from some of us "who care," Mary and the boys |
|
Dear Mr. Peabody and SherMAN, your willingness to serve the Queen is quite evident. Your handsome selves will definitely be majestic additions to the Queen's Royal Court. SherMAN, you are showing your intelligence staying under that blanket - I admire your penchant for comfort. And, Mr. Peabody, what can I say? You are definitely centerfold material. I hereby appointed you Barons Peabody and SherMAN. Her Royal Highness, Queen Gracie |
|
Dear Mandi and Mitzi, your adorable faces and cute ears have qualified you for a position in my Royal Court. And, the fact that you live close to me and can wait on me hand and foot played an important part in the decision. I hereby appoint you Princesses Mitzi and Mandi. Her Royal Highness Queen Gracie
|
|
To the Queen from EMPEROR HUMPHREY:
|
| Your Royal Highness, This is my pic that you requested that I send to you. I would like to be your official blanket tester. It will my job to make sure that all blankets are comfortable enough for you. And of course your tender skin must be protected from any rough and uncomfortable blankets. I humbly offer my services to you. Your loyal subject -Fiori- |
|
Dear Fiori- You are a very clever and handsome Iggy. The Queen is very pleased that you will test her blankets and due to your willingness to do so now appoints you Prince Fiori. I hope that you will keep my Royal Photo in a very special place. Thank you for the generous donation that prompted me to send it to you! Her Royal Highness, Queen Gracie |
|
To All Canines Everywhere...Especially Her
Majesty Queen Gracie!

|
Dear Sirius S. Lewis, Esquire, your willingness to help Iggies of all kinds, naughty or nice, has won you a position in my Royal Court. I hereby appoint you Prince Sirius.

| Dear Queen Gracie.
Dear Harley Girl, your flamboyance has caught my eye. I am in awe of your outfit and command you to take me for a Harley ride ASAP! You are now Lady Harley Girl and are an official member of my Royal Court. Her Royal Highness Queen Gracie |
 |
| By edict of Queen Gracie!!!!! The Royal Cousin, Pug King Winston Graves is a truly majestic addition to the Italian Greyhound Royal Court!!!! Long live THE PUG KING!!!!
|
 |
| Upon reviewing the Queen's court, I was impressed
with the quality of the nobility with which she surrounds herself.
Likewise, the assemblage is not lacking in number. What appeared
to be lacking, though, is a representative of the lower nobility,
one similar to the loveable Sir John Falstaff-that lover of wine,
women, and song; that braggart, who is at heart a bit of a coward;
and the erstwhile boon companion, father figure, and drinking buddy
of Prince Hal. To round out your court, I nominate our hound, Bobby.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of my request. Regally Yours, James & Inga-Maria C. Proud Parents of Bobby the Basset Hound Dearest
Bobby Basset,
"In Loving Memory of Bobby from his MANY admirers in the Italian Greyhound community".

By Royal Whim of Queen Gracie please welcome Irish Wolfhound Cormac Mac Airt and Studley the Maltese to The Royal Court. Queen Gracie dubs the Cormac..a royal Earl!!! Earl Cormac is now The Royal Protector. Studley has been selected as The Royal Page and will begin his duties IMMEDIATELY!!! Queen Gracie thanks the human Mama of Cormac & Studley for allowing her precious babies to be presented at the Italian Greyhound Royal Court.
|
| I am in awe of your beauty and benevolence
towards the other most wonderful, and more deserving, IGGYs who are already attendants in your royal court. I submit a photo that plays two roles today: it signifies the degradation I must deal with daily from my owner, and yet it also may give me a glimmer of hope of a position in your royal court as, perhaps, your jester, if the position is not already filled? If it is, I will most humbly take anything your gracious heart has to offer me. I do not know what I do to deserve such torture as to have to wear sweaters and collars such as this. I only run about the house as any IGGY would do, chew things as any IGGY would do, do my business as any IGGY would do. And what is my reward? A collar such as this? Tragedy. Your graciousness would be a bright spot in my day. Sincerely, Marchwind Renoir (but you can call me Reni) |
| Dear Reni, because you are not only in awe of my beauty but my benevolence towards the other attendants in the Royla Court, you deserve a position without question. And, the fact that you dressed up so beautifully (and against your will as any proper Iggy would agree) for the occasion prompted my decision to make you Fair Lady Reni. You may start waiting on me promptly!
Love, HRH, Queen Gracie |

Message From Scottish Terrier Queen:
I am Queen Munchen, Your Royal Highness of The Scottie Kingdom of Clune.
I just adore your Royal Highness's pictures and I would gladly align
my subjects to honor your Royal Court and Kingdom, on one condition.
August 15th is National Scottie Dog Day in our Kingdom, and I would
like to also make that National Italian Greyhound day. Between both
of our Kingdoms, we will be powerful and control many small provinces.
I would be honored with your answer as quickly as possible. The Bloodhounds
want to sign an alliance with us, but, I think they have their noses
in everybody else's business a little too much as it is. Scotties and
Italian Greyhounds, yes a very strong alliance. Signed,
Your Royal Highness Munchen of Clune.
Answer from Queen Gracie:
Dear Queen Munchen,
My answer is a RESOUNDING YES!!!! Italian Greyhounds and Scotties are
BEST FRIENDS! It is a pleasure to welcome you to Queen Gracie's Royal
Court. We Italian Greyhounds love our Scottish Terrier cousins!
