r/Greyhounds

She hates hats, but she was a good sport for the last photo. I adopted her when she was 3 and a half! It's crazy that she's 10 now. Time goes by so fast!

I posted in here a month or two back when my boy, Cowboy, was struggling with separation anxiety after a move. I will say with some patience, calming music playing on the tv when I leave, and leaving the blinds open so he can see outside when I’m gone, he seems to have completely overcome his struggles. He just roaches around all day like a happy boy now. I just wanted to say to anyone who has a greyhound struggling with anxiety they will get through it!

Isabel / busy Izzy / Izzy, has been terrified of the wooden floor since she arrived. She'd get the hang of ot, but she would occasionally come in from the rain and slide around like she's on ice despite the entrance having a mat and a long rug between it and the floor. She'd confined herself to the rug, or the stairs and the only way to get her to cross the floor was to hold her collar as she did so.

With baby steps, I'd managed to get her to walk with me just with my hand lightly touching the collar, or shoulder to a point where she would just about walk next to me.

Well tonight, she did this.. i just hope the rain stays away for a while, or she learns to walk without slipping as my other four managed it..

Bengie always looks like he's slowly melting into a puddle after he digs out our bed. Just has to sleep up against the pillows though 🙄

$8 at Bunnings for this squeaky duck, Andre’s a fan. He also got a crab toy on the weekend but the duck seems to be his favourite.

ToT!

These two love cottage week 🥰 what could be better than mornings full of walks in the woods and farmers markets followed by afternoons of snoozing on the lake? Fergus especially loves the dock and will lead us down there and just plonk himself down, then need to be bribed with promises of cheese to come back inside.

Sharing the silliest photo of our boy Peter. Adopted last May and has been the best addition to our home. He’s a playful and calm companion to his ‘sister’ Sapa, and he enjoys hopping to Pitbull (go figure)

Shinji (registry name Regalo Nutty But Nice) hit a new FastCAT PR on 8/7, just got the action sequence photos. It's cool to see him get fully airborne in the action sequence. And the bits of torn up turf on his paws.

He did 100 yards in 6.16 seconds = 33.21 mph / 53.45 kph.

Since he's still a yearling, his numbers have improved a lot in the last 3 months.

And she "fixed" it immediately.

Well, the vet left her a few after removing 25 a few weeks ago… she’s gone from Bucktooth Baby to Gummy Gramma 🥹

She is 7 years old - GOT HER 2 years ago!!!!!

This is Lacey. She's 11, and in our household, the toof fairy is a known criminal, having recently stolen four of Lacey's teefies. Thankfully the thief left the sneefer.

Lacey is our fourth adopted greyhound, we adopted her almost four years ago just before she turned 8. She helped heal our hearts after the loss of our Macau Canidrome boy, Rupert went through palliative care for Osteosarcoma.

Lacey and her sister Goosie are both 11. They came to us as urgent foster kids, about a year apart. Both had previously been rescued from the racing industry and later surrendered as pets.

Lacey also came with pretty crippling anxiety. Which was a huge surprise as we used to pet sit her when she was a happy go-lucky three year old, somewhere along the way between having kids and life, she shrank into herself.

It took us about 6 months to see her full personality and for her confidence to really blossom. Watching her learn to feel safe and comfortable in every part of the house, to walk confidently (not run and hide) and be curious was so rewarding. Time, patience, roast chicken and medication has been a big part of her story.

Lacey's favourite things are booty and shoulder rubs (don't stop or she'll do mouf snappies), chicken nuggets, cheese and sniffing. She also gets the hoppity hops for her walkies (aka the non-negotiable sniffaris). Their walks are always double the length, because our senior citizens always spend more time sniffing.

Anyway, that’s our little old lady. If anyone has questions, feel free to ask us anything.
