He only sits in it when he's annoyed about something so i call it his Sulking Chair
I never figured I’d ever see Bear do this but lo and behold…☺️
He also isn't very good at landing on the steps, so when he goes up the stairs its a very loud, fast, fumble of noise and thuds as he bounces up, slipping on steps. Good boy Sidney, we wouldn't change you.
Leonard was having a moment
Looking for a place to board my greyhound in Washington, DC. Blue Spring sounds great, but their availability is slim. Any advice?
So I’m truly at a loss here. I know greyhounds are special and smarter than most people think, which is why I genuinely believe my girl is misbehaving because she knows I’m having a baby soon.
She’s currently about 6.5 years old and I’ve had her since she was 1.5. We’ve been living in our house for about three years now with my husband.
Shes been fully potty trained since shortly after I got her, with a few minor accidents here and there, but nothing like this.
We had this beautiful brand new area rug and I began smelling dog pee (pregnant nose knows) on it and sure enough, huge pee spot. After three more times of finding a pee spot throughout a couple months, I figured she must be getting up at night to pee in the same spot which was so weird to me (she slept in our room and would whine to me if she had to use the bathroom at night, but that was rare). I started locking her up in an area with only tile floor and almost every single night since (about a month now) I’m waking up to pee and poop on the floor. & no it’s not any type of infection, we’ve gotten her checked.
I walk her right before bed and if I end up staying up late, I’ll let her out in the yard and make sure she uses the bathroom. So I don’t know where this is coming from. It seems like she’s doing it on purpose now and besides letting her out right before bed I don’t know what else to do??
She hasn’t had any issues with going inside until after I got pregnant, which is why I think it’s a behavioral thing. Idk, any advice? I’m too big to be cleaning up dog pee every morning and I’m getting increasingly frustrated. Plz help 🥲
I've only ever seen my girl give me the lip quivers over fresh warm chicken, and she seems indifferent to every other meal I've given her, so I'm wondering what meal is your greyhounds favourite?
That's what she says
Hi everyone- this is Rhonda, the light of my life. She was just diagnosed with large-cell lymphoma at age 9 and we are devastated, but not surprised given her struggles with protein-losing enteropathy these past few months.
We want to make sure we’re giving her the best possible quality of life in her remaining time with us, knowing it could range anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. We are trying to get in with an oncologist to discuss treatment or palliative care options, so I’m sure they will be able to answer most of our questions, but I did want to see if any of you have dealt with this condition, and if so, was there a point that you knew it was time to let go?
We have thankfully been able to manage the ascites associated with her PLE with a new diet regimen, but the lymph nodes in her neck are probably the most obvious causes for concern in terms of quality of life at the moment. She’s incredibly playful, has an appetite and is able to go to the bathroom normally for the time being, but what I do notice is increased whining (like she’s worried, but not necessarily in pain, if that makes sense?), strained breathing (very clearly from her enlarged lymph nodes), and clinginess (we’ll take all the cuddles we can get, but not sure if it’s a sign of pain or something else).
We love our girl very much and just want to make sure we’re prepared to do the right thing when the time comes.
Or does anyone else's greyhound sleep like this? It's like he's crossing his paws, behind his head.
My husband and I adopted our galga Casca (7F) back in November. She's been with us for about 4 months now and still seems very anxious about a lot of things. I know some anxiety while adjusting is normal (especially with galgos, given the abuse so many of them go through before they get adopted :( ), but I also don't want her to be stressed all the time! Some things that make me think she is anxious:
Obviously we still have more training and trust-building work to do, I just don't know if I'm reading too much into her behavior? Does this seem like normal behavior for a hound still adjusting to a new home, or is it time to talk to a vet or trainer about her anxiety? I just want my precious noodle to feel safe and happy...
Waiting for me at the top of the stairs... How dare I leave!
