I have used Springtime products for many years because they are outstanding. Especially Fresh Factors. That is like a miracle drug. It gives older dogs for instance extra months/years of a good happy life. Had one dog that began to have trouble getting up. Put on Fresh Factors she acted like a puppy and lived several happy years after that and didn't have trouble getting up anymore. It helps them with everything even their coat. I have noticed that when you put a dog on them for the first time it often appears their eyes kind of light up even. Had another dog on Fresh Factors sail through chemotherapy and amputation in terrific condition-still jogged with me. If I didn't give them anything else they would get Fresh Factors. They also get the Garlic Granules BECAUSE IT WORKS, PERIIOD. Some people go to walmart and buy el cheapo garlic to use and then say oh it don't work. Garlic is no different than anything else. You get what you pay for. I have NO TICK PROBLEMS WHATEVER no matter how infested an area I am in because I give the dogs their Springtime Garlic Granules. And since I don't want ticks on me I take the people version of it -and I am very pleased to say it works. I also give them the Skin & Coat oil because if I don't Octanes coat gets dry and dandruff and Reba gets ear and anal gland issues. No kidding. So I give them the oil and their coat stays wonderful and I don't have ear or anal gland issues with Reba. Also Time4ANap (Thank you!) told me years ago how the Skin & Coat oil had helped Rocket's allergies and so I give it to mine to keep their allergies from getting too bad also. I may also give them the Spirulina to but I believe the oil definitely helps.. It all depends. These products work plain and simple. BTW I also take the People Joint Health myself that they sell along with the people garlic. But heres a great tip. The dog garlic granules smell so good that I always add them to spaghetti or italian things that I cook for us because it is sooooo good. I have used other of their products as well. They are all good. The best quality available IMO.

Might have to muzzle. If she is swallowing rocks/rock pieces it could result in an impaction requiring surgery. And if she damages her teeth too much; well dental care is expensive. Its no trouble to pop a muzzle on and they really don't care about being muzzled.

Those greyhounds can be pretty tricky when it comes to getting food they really like. Not long ago Octane-who is known as a treat bandit because he HUNTS for wherever I put the treats-he will even check laundry/clothes and coat pockets -managed to get an entire bag I had just opened and quickly and expertly got every little treat out of the bag with his long skinny nose hehe. It was like 10 or 12 ounces and the only thing left was a slimy empty bag He timed his move for when I was busy taking Turbo outside and therefore wouldn't see him hehehe. Actually I am probably what brought this on when I trained him to do nosework. He learned that if he smelled something he wanted that all he had to do was hunt for it and voila! he would find it and get rewarded. And he is very good at it hehehehe. I'm actually quite proud of him as I trialed him twice and both times he titled with the Nat'l Assn of Canine Scent Work on his first try!

I tried and tried to post it but it kept saying it was too big even though I had resized it to tiny. I thought the Google Drive link was supposed to work. I will see if this link from my Outlook will work. It has in the past. https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aovi9jww8DCQn2lCQqpH0iKuH3FJ?e=Mu1zdw Thank you for your help!

I know what you're talking about. I was trying to take several to get some good ones but he ate them so fast they turned out blurry like yours. I was lucky to get one that wasn't to bad.

And a grand time was had by all! Octane ate- or should I say inhaled! -his so fast I almost didn't get any picture! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HqJLLFYko-OkOxz7Wv2HpRj-Ugh6y8P5/view?usp=sharing

No way was that a coincidence!

Maybe Jeff will surprise us

Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! sez the hounds

One of my FAVORITE photos...the pimpmaster Rocket could wear it right!

It's that time of year again. Wednesday the 13th is National French Fry Day! Of course you can't think of french fries without remembering what an aficionado Rocket was! Therefore the last couple of years many of us have marked that day as an excuse to spoil our hounds by letting them have some FRENCH FRIES!!! It has been greyt fun and as you know our houndies do need to be spoiled on a regular basis. It is also gratifying to remember Rocket at this time and how our hounds-especially the ones who become public figures here- and I won't name them because there are MANY and I won't risk leaving anyone out-are so very very special. They know who they are. Also special thanks to their peeps who graciously shared their precious hounds on the forum so all of us could love them also. So it is also a happy and heartwarming little remembrance for all the GT hounds that have meant so much to us and then crossed over. And oh the memories we make by surprising our current hounds with FRENCH FRIES! Thank you Rocket! You are loved always and will never be forgotten. PS- The pictures are always awesome. Please post pictures.

Just his stopper pads. He wears them down when he stops and runs beautiful and fast as greyhounds do. Completely normal. You just have to wrap them properly before you cut him loose.

Always call his name or something to get his attention before you touch or move him if he is resting/sleeping. He is not being aggressive. He is just doing a common greyhound behavior called sleep startle. He is a good boy. Incidents not his fault. There is an OLD OLD OLD dog saying that bears on this. It is "let sleeping dogs lie."

I LOVE HIM! Congratulations!!!!

My deepest sympathy.

Its been my experience it is more often competitiveness than actual aggression. I would watch them run in the yard and most just play but I have seen them reach over and try to bite another hound that is gaining on them. Some horses do the same thing when they race. Just another argument for how you can't go wrong muzzling them then no harm is done. I never correct for it because they are just doing what their genes and their training is telling them to and I don't think it would be fair. No harm is done since they are muzzled and they are having fun. I think it is good for them to have a little freedom to act like a dog and have fun sometimes.
