    New And Anxious

    in Training and Behavior discussion

    I was nervous when I brought my third hound into my house. Would he have sleep startle, would he not liked to be touched on his face, would he be food aggressive. Carter has none of these but part of my night time ritual is to rub Luka's face when he is on his bed and I touched Carter and he screamed. The room was dark and he was scared by a sudden touch. I no longer touch him in the dark.

    WIth a new dog you find out some of these things pretty quick what they will like and don't like.

    Greyhounds really pick up on your stress so just take it easy, remember they are adjusting to so many things they have never experienced. It takes time for them to fully open up and relax.

    Soon you will wonder how you ever lived without a greyhound. And you might even start thinking about getting a second one!

    Murray 7.15.03-1.8.16

    My heart sank when I saw Murray's name. I really thought that you had more time. I didn't know Murray was your first hound. He found the right home with you two and you were able to give him an amazing life.

    Thank you for sharing him with us and know that there are so many people around the world who shares your sorrow.

    I love your photos and I am so glad that you share your greyhounds with us.

    Hugs to you, Burke and Holly. May his memories and knowing that he is with your beloved Bee give you some comfort.

    Jan, Luka and Carter

    Kidney Failure

    I think loss of appetite is common with kidney disease. Look in her eyes, she will tell you when she is ready to leave her body and be free.

    I used an animal communicator with my girl when she was diagnosed with bone cancer. I just had another session and she correctly told me Luka was having issues with his spine. The chiropractor found he was having back spasms right where she said.

    Her name is Latifa and her site is Animals Can Talk.

    Hope you can find something she likes to eat and can have more time.

    Hugs!

    Hurting Her Or Just Being A Cry Baby?

    When I first got my newest boy Carter he would do the greyhound scream of death whenever I put my hand near his collar. I wouldn't even be touching and he would scream.

    I talked to my animal communicator Latifa and asked him why he screams when I am not even touching him. He said he was expecting pain. She suggested a chiropractor.

    I took him to a local vet and after the exam we found he had stiffness in his back, his shoulder, neck and jaw. He yelped a few times but he seemed relaxed and I could see the trust in his eyes as Dr Whalen worked on him.

    He goes for regular adjustments a few times a year. It has made a big difference.

    Note: if you notice your dog does not shake when he gets up from a nap it could be an indicator of pain or discomfort.
