I drove a Golf before I had the Matrix. Plenty of room for even three greyhounds, and the seats fold down perfectly flat. Good choice. The only reason I switched to the Matrix is because theyre much less expensive to maintain, but not nearly as much fun to drive (standard transmission).

You don’t need a big car. I drive a Toyota Matrix with a hammock in the back seat. Plenty of room for two hounds.

How awful! I’m so very sorry.

Don, my heart sank when I saw Rocket’s name. I’m so very sorrt. He will be sorely missed and GT will not be the same without him.

Relax. Your dogs dont hate you I know I thought that after I adopted my first hound. Just take it very slow.

What an awful shock. I’m so very sorry.

Kyle, I’m so very worry. I’ve always had a soft spot for your dogs. I’m sure he’s found Charlie by now. Hugs to you and Lynn.

I’m so very sorry

So many of us have been in the same situation. I’m glad you’re starting to feel a bit better.

I’m so sorry Greg.

I’m so very sorry. Lots of hugs.

My Iker is the same way, even after seven years. Things got much better when I changed the walking route, as it seems the first one I ever tried with him scared him. I also started to walk him out night, when there are fewer people around. I also avoid busy routes as best I can. Some people recommend walking him in a circle when he stops, just to refocus him. You can try that. I'm working with a behaviourist on Iker and this is what we've done. I walk him in quiet places using a 15' leash, which I gather and loosen depending on his needs. I let him decide where we're going, just to show him that he has a choice and to help get him to trust me. I encourage him a lot, but I don't force anything. I've been going to a quiet area of a local park. It's been very successful and he actually seems to enjoy it. He started to improve on street walks, but then I broke my foot and won't be able to walk him again until the cast comes off. Anyway, it's worked wonders for Iker. Edited to add that I give him lots of encouragement and try to give him great treats, which he never takes because he's Iker

I’m so very sorry. You saved him from having to experience more bad days. You gave him a huge gift. Run free, Blue.

Ugh. I gave my guys Bravecto earlier this month. Luckily they're both fine. thanks for this update.

Im just going to go next year instead, when I can really enjoy myself with my dogs and my friends instead of wobbling around with an air boot and not being able to go to the beach because of it. You should go, and next year, too.

I’m so very sorry

I had planned to but I broke my foot. I drive a stick shift and my left foot is broken. Even though I take off the air boot to drive the seven minute drive to work, doctor said no to Dewey drive.

I'm so very sorry

Please return the dog to your adoption group. That way his whereabouts will be known and he will be placed in a good home. If you do this yourself you risk something going wrong.

I'm so very sorry. I can see how much you miss Slim

You’re both in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry about Conrad. Congratulations on Bisbee.

Tried it with my Iker and it did nothing. I decided to work around his personality and accept him for the shy, traumatized guy that he is as he wasn't in danger of hurting himself or others.

Give him time. He’ll get used to his schedule and food.
