😷 Yup. We have those, too. Luckily for me, Jenny chooses to lay next to DH after dinner. It’s not unusual to see him fanning the fumes while watching the nightly news.

Makes you wanna fetch the queso dip, doesn’t it? 😉

It’s a natural doggie thing. Bacteria, probably Proteus or Pseudomonas. Nothing to worry about unless the odor is extremely foul or there’s crusty skin, lumps, etc. 🙂

from Miami, Florida!

Jenny is sleeping next to me on ‘her’ recliner. As a part of her body must always touch mine, her two front feet are resting on my forearm. The stink is killing me! It’s worse than my son’s sneakers back in the day. 🤮 Definitely time for a bath. I love my silly, stinky girl. 🥰

I would not be giving Kibo head-kisses for a while. 😷

Greyhounds are the best dogs ever! 😂 I love that spinny happy dance. Annie was just making sure the shoes are safe for you to wear. Kinda like a food taster...but for shoes. 😉

I would enjoy something less cartoonish and more artistic. Maybe with drawings suitable for framing once colored. A Greyhound themed glossary and a resources page would be great.

Lord, yes! Jenny will lean on your legs and not let you walk unless you say , “Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me” as you shuffle your feet in the direction you want to go. 🤪

A reliable recall is essential. Then the usual down, stay, place. Leave it is a good first choice. Two of my Greys have dropped live birds using ‘Leave it’. Teaching then to not bolt out of an open door is another essential. I use ‘wait’ for that. Congrats on your new boy!

Congrats on your new pup! I don’t have any pics of my red-brindle girl, Wendy, but she looked spectacular in black, red, gold, burgundy and just about any warm/autumn color.

Beautiful boy!

Gotcha. I’ve got Colace on hand. Poor Jenny seems desperate to poo since about 1 am. Thanks!

Aside from the trusty, old canned pumpkin, what is safe to give a constipated greyhound?

😂 Jenny can tell the difference between the ‘cookie jar’ and the identical ‘not-the-cookie-jar’ no matter where she is in the house. How do they do that?

I’m thrilled to hear that Proheart worked for you. I started Jenny on Proheart 6 a month ago after a course of Panacur. She’ll also be on Bravecto every 3 months. I’ll be taking a fecal to the vet on Monday with my fingers crossed for a negative result. It’s been over a year-long battle with Satan’s pet parasites. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

My Lola came to me with hooks. She had them for for 18 months. Panacur did nothing. We used Drontal and Advantage Multi and finally got rid of the hooks. Unfortunately, I think this combo led to Lola’s death. Her organs were fried. Please be careful.

Did the vet take X-rays? There could be a fracture or other injury.

Many moons ago adopted a Sheltie that had been paper trained before she came to me. I was never able to get that dog to potty outside. She had the ‘paper potty’ so ingrained that she’d become very anxious and begin urinating immediately when I put her lead on to take her outside. That was an extreme case, of course, but what I’m trying to get at is that maybe your girl is having trouble understanding that it’s okay to potty on the balcony and outside as well. Maybe balcony train her exclusively, and once that’s accomplished, go ahead and go walkies and throw a praise party when she does her business. Patience and good luck! P.S. A bit of grass sprinkled with the urine of another dog might encourage her to mark her territory.

Jenny chooses to lie next to me even though she has several other options. She always has a part of her body in contact with mine even when we’re in the car. Also, too, I have the ‘keys’ to the cookies! 😉

Collect some of her urine, or better yet, another dog’s urine if you can, and sprinkle around the new potty zone.

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing.

Are Spooks able to function as racers?

What...no corset? 🙀
