Still some work to do with her, such as getting her to walk nicely on a lead and not be as reactive to other breeds, but she is a great addition for myself, and Wilbur.
She still follows me from room to room, too. But I hope that will settle in time.
She had no interest in racing so has since been adopted to an American couple and will live in Germany before going on a tour and then eventually going back to the US with her new hoomans. Probably the most travelled greyhound there is. :)
She spent the first half a walk this afternoon constantly pulling to the extent she was on her back legs a large part of the time.
I know this is a controversial subject but I am just curious, what does your country's local greyhound board do to identify registered racers?
Here in England, they just tattoo one ear. Whereas in Ireland, they tattoo both.
Out of 5 greyhounds I've had, 3 have been from Ireland and 2 from the UK.
Of course, now microchipping has been mandatory in the UK for all dogs, I'd like to think they'd move away from "needing" to tattoo ears in the first place..
Isabel is giving me "a look"
By chance, I ended up picking a friend up who can see the sidings from the back of his house so of course, I had to go look for myself and I have to say I'm impressed with the detail!
Waiting for a clear line that never comes and then this happens...
I'm genuinely curious. This is at a local mining museum. Would they still use asbestos in these nowadays?
Having fun with the Merry Go Round at Fiddler's Ferry. The class 20 are a challenge for me as the brakes seem to be all or nothing but I guess that's hardly a surprise considering the weight they are pulling.
As for blurry textures, sadly even this slow paced route has suffered from them in places on my PS5 Pro.
Isabel has just been barking like this in front of Wilbur. Is it just her being playful i wonder? She walked off after a quick play with the caterpillar..
A documentary got her attention..
5 greys and only two of them had the little triangle ears. It brings back happy memories for me. They are completely unrelated but it's a nice happy memory.
1 and 2. Isabel. 3. Lavender.
From never being in a home and getting "stuck" upstairs for the last 36 hours, she did this today. :)
Isabel has been with us since Saturday afternoon on a trial..
​
She was keen to get in the house and quickly made her way upstairs where she got stuck. She's been into everything and anything, smashed a glass but that's my fault for not remembering how she hasn't been in a home before. She's been trying to steal my food, but just look at her!
​
She seems so settled already. She's getting there with the stairs now and for the last few hours I've been working, she's just been there in the distance, watching and waiting.
​
I left them alone for an hour last night and apart from some initial whining, she claimed her spot on the sofa and made herself comfortable.
​
Wilbur has been so relaxed about it. He'll try and play when they're outside but apart from that, there hasn't been any real interactions bar the odd sniff, and no aggression from ether of them! :)
​
At this rate it looks like she will be staying with us at the end of the 2 week trial.. :)
After thinking long and hard about Wilbur and how he seemed lonely, today I took a trip to a local rehoming charity and came away with this girl. Meet Isabel! ❤️
These have finally appeared on top of a building near me after the old ones were taken away a year ago. Does anyone know what they are and how wide the coverage is in terms of angles? They seem to be quite directional from a basic test with my phone.. the signal is still rubbish where it used to be great..
​
Also, lol at copilot for describing them as ancient coins..
Hey. I've not been on in a while since Ceri was PTS at the back end of April this year. I've had Wilbur for about 6 years and he has never been an only dog, apart from the first week I got him. He's about 11 years old now if that means anything but I've been thinking of getting another hound to go with him. Have I left it too late? Am I likely to have issues?
​
He just doesn't seem to have the same excitement that he once had so i don't know what to do for the best right now.
Fly tipped near my home. It looks like a very solid bag though..
