HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! LOGAN!

Always good to remember the good ol days! Sending love to everyone-and that includes the special bridge angels from the old days to. They will always be VERY special to me and I think of them often. I have some of their pictures that I saved and I'm so glad I did.

My heart is breaking for you. I know what it feels like to be trusting a vet and then have them so cruelly and horribly let you and especially your beloved hound down. It is just as bad if not worse here in the US. I have had vets seriously harm and even kill hounds of mine. It is extremely difficult to find one that actually cares enough to treat our loved ones like they should be and that knows what they are doing. I will be praying for your sweet girl-and you. I know He answers prayer and that miracles do still happen. Don't give up. Just love.

Wow! What a lucky break to be there at exactly the right time to see such a cool gathering. Had to have been awesome

The fashionable bandage option is very cool Buddy and you look greyt! However please get you handsome self well! Sending love and positive healing energy.

without question! that's it!

Awesome pics! I always enjoyed 'digging' around my houndies' past history to. Such amazing creatures.

WOW! I agree with the campers!

MAGNIFICENT! Thank you.

d DON'T FEED GRAIN-FREE.....

Slim used to go in the street (roadway).

I have 1 greyhound, Octane, and 2 "killer" Malinois working dogs. My hound Octane is so bulletproof you can run the dreaded dog eating machine even up against him and he won't move from his napping. On the other hand if I get the dog eating machine out the mals both immediately go to the bedroom, jump on the bed together, form a defensive perimeter and make a (last?)stand

Wow! It really is a HIT!!!!! Wonderful pics/video of fun times!

Wonderful to hear. Enjoy the journey. Sending love and hugs to all.

She should be proud! High fives to the girl!

Got to mention this...there is no doubt that his confidence will help her shyness. I adopted a hound named Goldie that was so scared. It was sad. He would cower in the back of the kennel if you opened the door; I had to feed him by himself in the back bedroom because he was scared to eat anywhere else. One time we got him to accept a little treat and he went trotting off to his back bedroom to eat it and someone just happenned to open another bedroom door and it scared him so bad he jumped into the wall and fell down trying to flee and dropped his prized treat! If he made any sound at all it was a squeaky little girl bark. Well it so happens my other greyhound was Slim, my soulmate, who is rather well known because he was very aggressive(to people & animals), very protective, and had TONS of confidence! Slim ALWAYS said 'bring it on!' I didn't even know a greyhound could be like that. Besides love I gave Goldie Rescue Remedy twice a day and that helped some but Slim's confidence and personality TOTALLY TRANSFORMED Goldie! Little by little Goldie got braver and braver and within 3 or 4 years no one would ever guess he had ever been shy or scared! Even his bark changed! and he started barking with a deep man bark. He oozed with confidence and didn't get rattled anymore no matter what. He ate and played with the other dogs and was an integral part of the pack. He was so relaxed-he even became territorial and helped Slim protect their territory! Now had I not seen this and lived it with my own eyes I would never have believed such a major transformation was even possible. But this happened. A total transformation and it was brought about because his packmate Slim was so extremely brave and outgoing. He started copying the things Slim would do-like be confident & even territorial-and adopted that behavior as his own. And Slim was the real deal...he had quite a reputation because he actually did violently drive off burglars one day etc. Yep its a mess sometimes with an ear injury. You'll prolly need to find something to gently hold it down against her head for a while until it heals. Blood does indeed go EVERWHERE when they shake their head otherwise. People use stocking/snood/or loose type of stretch bandage sometimes.

Sounds like normal fairly easy to manage dogs to me. Dogs bite. It is as much a communication tool to them as is barking or growling etc. IMO they're not being aggressive. For one thing he has demonstrated "bite inhibition" and it is one of the greyt things about greyhounds. Since greyhound puppies are allowed to grow up more normally than most other dogs they tend to learn good bite inhibition. That is one of the things those sharp puppy teeth teach. Anyway, both times the bite has been minimal with no real damage. That is because he exercised bite inhibition. Without it or with actual aggression and malice there would be far more damage and blood. So you see this tells you even more that you've got some amiable dogs and there was no real animosity or aggression involved. Had there been most likely part of the ear would be torn or missing and would need stitched up. THE DOGS KNOW THIS TO! That is why they don't really react after the fact or feel animosity toward each other. Its just a normal part of dog communication to them no harm intended. And now you know that even if your male is pushed to the point of biting it is highly unlikely he will do any damage or truly aggress on the other(or a human either for that matter). Personally I don't think you have any problems. They seem to be working things out well. Can it escalate? Yes, it could but probably won't. If one inadvertently actually causes more pain to the other one than they are used to then things could always escalate. But thats just 'dog life'. You will know actual aggressive behavior if you see it because it is very violent and they will be using their teeth as the weapons they are instead of exercising bite inhibition. There are reasons that the pros muzzle their greyhounds. One biggie is that it is a lot cheaper than getting dogs stapled up and put back together. You just need to decide for yourself if you think their situation warrants muzzles. Keeping them muzzled is no big deal. In fact there is a lady on GT that sells the most wonderful imported muzzles with a built in poop barrier. That way you don't have to worry about them eating stuff they shouldn't eat either. Anyway I'd let it ride and just enjoy my dogs if I was you. They're just being dogs and good ones at that. JMO.

Well I can certainly understand! Those collars...each one more irresistible than the one before it. There was nothing to be done but give in. And then the thought of them on those gorgeous houndies!!! None of us could have resisted! Thanks for sharing-the cult understands .

Yes they look so beautiful in their lovely coats! And what a great time it will be for everyone when you take your trip! Sending love to all !
