  1. We’ve had 3 greyhounds since 2013, but I keep saying we’re going to stop at 2. However, I found my last group of 3 easier than our present group of 3 when walking. So I imagine we’ll stick with 2 when the time comes. I hate to write it, but Katie is 12.75 y/o and I know she’s in her twilight years and I hate to think about her passing. Adopting Emmy and Simon after losing Ben and Brooke did perk Katie up (she’s not good at being an only) and it’s great to have 2 at home when one needs to go to the vet. However, I do find a big difference between 2 and 3. All of our pups have all gotten along really well, no issues with guarding resources or any other issues that can lead to squabbles.They eat the same food at the same times, walk together, and travel really well together. So I don’t know exactly why I find a big difference, but I do and am probably in the minority. After Brooke died, we just had Katie for 6 weeks and I was ok with that, but Katie wasn’t, so I doubt if we’ll ever be a one greyhound family.
  2. I’m so sorry. My thoughts are with you and hope for a peaceful passing.
  3. I’m so sorry for your loss Andrea.
  4. I’m so sorry for the loss of this sweet girl, who left way too soon.
  5. I’m not sure if this has been mentioned. The other dog displayed aggressive behaviour towards Buddy. To this morning: the rogue dog ran at Buddy from about 30 feet and got in his face. No lead. It was a bit of a blur but I think I saw her try to bite him (she was some kind of Staffordshire terrier mix and could only just reach his chest)  Buddy felt threatened and reacted. Often people think their dog is jumping up because it wants to say “hi”, but it’s actually aggressive in the dog world. Buddy may have sensed your nervousness as well which may have impacted his reaction. I personally don’t think Buddy was at fault.
  6. I missed this! Happy belated birthday dear Lexi. You look wonderful.
  7. Oh my, I sure hope she’s weight bearing soon. Poor baby.
  8. Congratulations! Fun to watch in awe of both of you.
  9. I’m so sorry for your loss. Sometimes we do everything we can to keep them comfortable and it just isn’t enough. Saying good bye is so hard.
