I've been told my Grey is ugly and looks like a rat. Once, a woman at the beach approached me, very concerned, and asked me how much I fed my dog. Mean spirited or well-intentioned it still rankles.
My Lola acts likes she's dying if it's above 65 F. Yes, Greyhounds are extremely susceptible to heat. Cooling coats are a great addition to any Greyhound's wardrobe. Here's an example: https://greyhoundtruststore.com/products/easidry-cool-coat
That poor excuse for an excuse...chasing chickens...PFFFT...is NOT an excuse for sentencing that dear old gentleman to death!
Anyway, welcome home Cletus. Live long and prosper, you cutie-pie!
My Lola is a furious nester and it's crazy-making when it happens at 2 in the morning! I used a spray bottle with water, giving her a quick squirt along with the command "enough!" as soon as she would start digging. She still nests but stops immediately when I tell her 'enough!'.
