A walking tour and songwriting lesson with Fiery Furnaces guru Matthew Friedberger We begin by inviting Matthew Friedberger, one-half of hometown art-rock darlings the Fiery Furnaces, to perform solo, acoustically, anytime and anywhere, on the highways, byways, or subways of New York City. Throw in internal mentions of New Mexico, Nice, Newark, Albuquerque, the Bahamas, an Italian greyhound, a French canal boat and a Kansas City cabinet, a Florida houseboat, an Arabian-tented library guest-room, a Calcutta necklace, a Hollywood chin band, and secondhand stores located in Centereach, Hempstead Hollow, and Mount Olivet, and you end up not only jet-lagged, but owing an excess luggage charge.

This past week I worked with a family that wanted another dog. They have a great little Italian greyhound-type dog and a very cool cat in their home already. They wanted a playmate for their dog. The thing is their dog really didn't want a playmate -- he wanted his people.
They had to find that out for themselves, I guess, but they did finally realize that they were better off leaving things "as is" in the pet department. Before you add a pet to your household, whether it's your first or your fourth, here are some questions to ponder:

[Kehinde Wiley]'s dogs have free reign of his Chelsea art studio. Poo, a hyperactive Chihuahua, and Liza, the deceptively named male Italian greyhound, bound around, leaping from the couch to the bed, chasing each other in a blur of skinny limbs and high-pitched squeals that inevitably ends with them lying in an exhausted pile in their cage. Miraculously - though Wiley wages continuous battle with Liza's seemingly unending desire to use the studio floor as his personal bathroom and Poo's tendency to sneak into the lap of anyone who sits down - the two dogs never venture too close to the enormous paintings which lean against the walls, as if even the pets recognize the sanctity of Wiley's work.
While still at Yale, Wiley applied for the artist-in-residence position at the Studio Museum i...

When Theresa Strader first set eyes on Lily, the tiny Italian greyhound broke her heart.
Shivering and terrified in a wire cage, the sleek cream and brown dog shrank from Strader's touch. The dog didn't know human kindness - - she'd spent all seven years of her life in that cage giving birth to litter after litter of puppies.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Public-relations executive Kristin Dormeyer works hard for her extra cash, but some people might say she doesn't spend it wisely. She buys face cream that costs $50 for 2 ounces and splurges on all-inclusive vacation packages in the Caribbean.
During a recent visit to Three Dog Bakery in Ladue, Mo., she bought $40 worth of gourmet dog treats for her Italian greyhound, Mr. Peabody.

At a glance: An Italian greyhound? Geez, you can't make any money off of those-they don't race them. Wait, do they? Hee hee, that'd be so cute! (And cruel.) Little greyhounds racing around an itsy bitsy track! Maybe after the race they give them a plate of fruit and vegetables and pet them behind their wittle ears. Gaww.

Poor Pee Wee Martini. The 2-year-old Chinese crested/Japanese Chin mix was leading in the online World's Ugliest Dog Contest, a canine version of the People's Choice Awards for the funny-looking critters.
Then computer hackers broke into the Sonoma-Marin (Calif.) Fair Web site and erased 40,000 votes for Pee Wee and stole 30,000 from an Italian greyhound named Victoria while they were at it.
