sending good thoughts and hope it is something minor.

wonderful update

I'm so sorry you received this news. I hope you have many good days...you both deserve it.

I'm so very sorry...she looks very very sweet in those pics.

I`m so sorry

Welcome from Ontario...as you can see, loving greyhounds is a global love.

I'm so sorry for your sudden loss. It's hard to make sense out of senseless acts. He was with you and running...I'm sure he left you happy and loved.

continued good thoughts for Fiona and hope she recovers quickly

it continues to be nothing, er, you know what I mean and glad you're not hurt. I just read this this morning. Every day may not be a good day, but every day may have some good in it (or something like that).

I'm so sorry this happened. I get the sense from some of the responses that it sounds like only greys do this, but believe me, this happens to owners of all breeds. I have a scar from a Springer Spaniel we adopted in 1977. It may have something to do with inexperience, but many of us here have reported being bit, and in most cases we did something we knew we shouldn't do. I'm sure Faye will find a good home, the problem doesn't sound insurmountable, Faye and her new family will have some work to do but it can all work out in the right home under the right circumstances. I hope you don't write off greys forever, I've not had to deal with space aggression only resource guarding, but our 2 current greys don't display any forms of aggression at all. We can pet them on their beds, lay with them on their beds, take high-value treats out of their mouth without incident, bend over them, hug them, etc. without any forms of aggression. Please note I don't necessarily do anything I've listed often, e.g. hug them or make them uncomfortable so that they would react. If you want to know what not to do, it would take forever to list, but in general some greys do not like someone bending over top of them, be disturbed while sleeping and/or laying on their bed, or hugging. There are excellent books as well, Patricia McConnell's "The Other End of the Leash" is excellent and you can learn a lot about dog behaviour of any breed.

Hester is amazing...he didn't even perk up his ears. I love this guy You have an awesome greyhound. I thought he was limping too, however, it could be the surface.

I agree. A beautiful tribute for Fletcher...I'm so sorry you had to let him go.

I found the first few days they seem to be a bit shell-shocked and were out of their element. For example, our first greyhound was extremely timid but I could take her for walks for a few days when we first adopted her. Then all of a sudden she reverted back to her extremely timid self and it took lots of love and patience over the years. Maybe you are experiencing something similar. Be patient. Although he's been in a home before, everything in your home is new; new routine, new humans, new location, new pillow, new toys, new neighbourhood and he doesn't have the ability to rationalize or reason. Think how you would be feeling if you ended up on another planet overnight with a new family and "everything" was new to you.

Brooke rests her head on Ben, she usually does it as we're getting ready to go for a walk...bored is my best guess

I find Brooke, our female grey is much more timid around men in general so it took her a bit of time to warm up to my DH too...now she loves him dearly. What he did was let her come to him indoors when she felt more comfortable but he took her for a lot of walks. Of course we also have Ben(male grey) whom she often chooses over us. I just find in general, she does better when she figures out people on her own, rather than when they are all over her.

I was going to say never mind My statement was off topic and I don't want to take away from Alicia's original question.

I just tried to sign up but received a message indicating memberships were closed. Anyone else receive this message?

Have you had an ultra sound done on Quinn? We had xrays taken for Bailey but it was the ultrasound that determined what made her ill.

for Wren and for Symbra

More often than not, when a dog throws up bile, they are hungry and a snack before bed usually helps. We'd need more details, including when he throws up bile to help. Perhaps the antibiotics affect his appetite causing a catch 22 situation.

Hope he's back home soon!

omg...not sweet Gracie...hope she is back to normal riteawayquik For Gracie and you

still miss them both too...but now I have many happy memories of them.
